You more than tried o😍.
Thanks 😊…Na you do am oo
My people I salute🫡🔥
@@joshuafreduah-agyemang7918 I see you ❣️❣️
You did well .. I enjoy seeing Bluecrest alumnus well done 😁🤗
What Acquah said about the advantage of his identity in Ghana is true . I am a Ghanaian American . Anytime I reach Ghana with Ghana name and American passport , I just walk through without questions at the airport . That is how Ghanaians respect their last names in the country .
So nice to hear. 😃
Because we Ghanaians love each other deep
Ghana for life
We Ijaws in Nigeria bear a lot of Ghanaians names like Koffi, Kojo, Kumasi, Ajua, Yaw, Ghana. The reason being that there were a lot of Ghanaians in our communities and also Ijaws do travel to Ghana for business and even work. Up till date I have uncles that speaks Ghanaian languages.
BOTH COUNTRIES ARE PROUD OF THEIR NATIONALITIES
I can't wait to visit Nigeria my second home...Am half Ivorian by father side and my mom is half Ghanaian and half Nigerian,She was born and raised in Ghana until she moved to ivory coast where i was born and moved to Ghana at age 10 till now at 37yrs...My younger sister made it to Nigeria close to 4yrs has a baby girl now and she has totally changed and that gives me the courage to see for myself...I always sees Nigeria as my home and will definitely come after my trip in Switzerland
Can you speak french?
@@markntiri8251 Even though it my first language but I totally forgot all since I came...I had no one to speak with me
Bad blood
@@zigibeat3689 Actually for me am fully African and I feel proud and blessed
Wow! You are a full- blooded west African! You should try visiting sometime.
Nice to have you here.
This guy is more Nigerian than Ghanaian 😂😂😂 we can’t share secrets with him
Guy is Nigeria
The Nigeria Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa etc culture is very strong. I don't blame him. Even the Nigeria pidgin is almost a complete language.
Acquah is a Fanti..
Nigerians are bothered by our twi language, but it is what it is. We can't lose our identity. English is still foreign to most people.
😅😅😅 "asem aba" trouble don't come oo😅😅😅. Very funny. ✊🏿🇬🇭✊🏿
Your content always reminds me of my late uncle. He stayed in Nigerian over 30 years and brought four kids to Ghana with her Ghanaian wife he met in Nigeria
Awwwwn.
Glad you have nice memories of him.
Commot for there , Ghanaians sometimes also say Go/ way
He is from my hometown Akim Oda. Diamond city
Is it an actual Diamond city or it’s just a name?
Let me know so I can go and get some Diamonds 😜.
@@TheJumzTV they mine diamonds there hence the name, though like other mineral-rich towns in Ghana, the riches doesn't reflect in the economy of the town
It's just a matter of time you will even forget you ever lived in Nigeria unless you travel out of Ghana. You will blend very well and your accent will change with time. Honestly I think your way of speaking is already changing because you are sounding more Ghanaian now. It's evident in your choice of words. Ghanaians don't eat. Ghanaians don't normally eat Jollof with Beans. What you saw was just an isolated case. I can choose to eat Jollof with anything not because that is the norm in Ghana but because I wanted to try something new.
When u go to Agege bus stop u will get some Ghanian food to buy and even alaba
Is that so? Thank you for the update, one day I’d try it.
Nice conversation
Grt vid ❤️ 😍
Nice and interesting story
I enjoyed the interview
Akwa Ibom.
Lovely lovely interview that morphed into a conversation. Love you Jumz❤
You are very good with both languages. Good job 👏
GCE O'level and A'Level originates from England. WaEC made is available all over West Africa in English speaking countries. That was the exams before the current SHS or SSS exams.
I like you Aquah. Kudos.
Welcome home
Awwwww BLUECREST all the way!!!!!!!! 😁😁😁😁😁
Yh that’s right. When did you graduate?
@@alexacquah4228 2021 COVID graduants 😩😩
They and other Ghanaian universities should reduce the high dollar fees international students, especially west Africans pay.
@@markntiri8251 that fees in dollars is crazy, you know what's more crazy, when you convert that dollar fee to Ghana cedis and realize that foreigners are paying a little more than double of what a local student is paying. Nigerian education system is the cause of all this. If our education system was ohk, no strike and all, most of us won't have any reason to travel out to school
@@okohannette4400Ohkk … It’s well 😊
Akwaaba Me Nua, nice video Anyway i disagree with those who says the interjection were too many,to me was great interview,nice one,i enjoyed watching
Beautiful conversation
Thank youuu.
This boy has a thick Ghanaian accent tho
Girl you lied. This is a very deep Nigerian Accent.
True. Of the ghanja(ghana, Nigeria) people interviews i've seen, his Ghanaianness shines through and is not overshadowed by Nigeria. His accent is Ghanaian, his looks Ghanaian etc
@@oluronbimichael4097 accent is very Ghanaian
I am enjoying ur conversation..ooo
Glad you are 😍
For the pidgin, Ghanaian are now speaking Nigeria pidgin, especially the their artist like kidi, promise.
Oh! Interesting!
actually we have ghanaian pigin . tf are talking.
Alex you force ….Jumz big upx
Thanks Bro 👍🏾
BLUE CREST COLLEGE at KOKOMLEMLE CIRCLE beside ACCRA TECHNICAL TRAINING CENTER my former school and it's a SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL but a TECHNICAL school which is a hand skill training school 🏫 .
When he said " swallow " this guy is Nigerian la. Lol. Great interview
I know😂😂
Too much interruptions sound from you jumz please allow him to flow when you ask question
Noted.
Yes
I attended Bluecrest too, the fees were crazy as he said. We foreigners paid through our nose but the school was worth it. First class in Bluecrest no be beans o eii well done Alex
I can imagine. From what he said and you confirming it, it means your school e no be easy o both financially and academically.
@@TheJumzTV at all o you have to be on your toes all the time else resit paaaaaa
Thanks very much 🙏🏾…Exactly… Very true @Okoh 👍🏾
GCE's are accepted in Ghana too
Is that right?
That’s a discovery, thank you

It's a beans meal we call it 'yor k3 gari' or Gari and Beans(Gorb3 for short)
Origin of Waakye is wanke … the Hausa who migrated to ghana are those who introduced it to ghana … in short it was created in ghana but by Hausas
You mean Wanke is the original name? Interesting but where did the Hausas migrate from?
@@TheJumzTV Hausa's originally from Northern Nigeria as far i know
U see the thing about ghana is it is not a really rigid culture anything can come in and be integrated into the national culture which includes food.. unlike nigeria where people don't tend to be "flexible" ghanaians for good or bad tend to want to "negotiate" and want to make everybody feel "good" even when they are doing you "bad". You are young but in the old days every ghana blackstars team had about 4/5 nigerian boys born in ghana on the team.. they were fully integrated and no one really checked where they came from... in nigeria if a ghanaian played somehow ibo boy or the yuroba boy who didn't get a chance will complain... so again the mostly hausa traders who came primarily for cola nuts and other things brought wanke/waakye ..it was modified in ghana ... since it was not even in northern nigeria when i was there in the 70's
Yes u are absolutely write the waakye is an Hausa food brought in to the Gold Cost by the Hausas.
There are a lot of Ghanaians like him in Nigeria due to the migration back in the day
Yes, so true.
Acquah - AKWA IBOM 😂
Yeah you are right
Hmmmn! Is it because they sound similar? 😃
Eboyi state has similar name
Oh! I seeee.
Interesting!
No foreign black person is seen as a foreigner on the streets of Nigeria. Nigerians would not even know you are a foreigner. The Nigerian equivalent of "Aquah" would be "Akwa", from Akwa Ibom State: meaning "big" or "Mighty."
You are 100% correct.
True, seems Akwa Ibom sounds closest.
Alexander =Alex Joseph = Joe
Jollof and beans stew together? We don't do that combination.
Shock me self, who does that
@@abigailnajombe5936 it's pure ignorance
Jollof and beans will be a healthy combo
You just have to like alexyawacquah 😂 surviving ajegunle is only by the grace of God 😂😂 and mothers are really sweet 😊 if not for my mum am sure I won’t understand anything in Igbo language and the environment we just force pidgin and Yoruba into my whole system 😅
Yes o, you have to like him o. 😂.
Yeah, that’s why we need to keep encouraging mothers (and fathers too) to keep speaking their native languages to their children especially if you aren’t in a place where it’s spoken often.
God bless our mothers o.
💯💯💯💯
Rexxxxx! I see you!
Ooooh this yoghurt seller's
You can tell 😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
You can find waakye wherever you can find Ghanaians are.
were you feeling some way.....mehn....
He's still a newbie wait till he blends very well.
Eiii, after over a decade? 😂 That’s an oldie already.
@@TheJumzTVA decade is not in enough.😂😂 He doesn't appeal to Ghana for me 😂
Ghanaians like to shorten names
You think so?
Are you Ghanaian too?
Hmmmmmm
I wrote GCE through Weac in the 80s so I am confused when you say you wrote GCE and not waec
Oh! He said he wrote both + 80s is a while ago, things have changed since then. They are 2 different exams now.
Madam get your facts right, please. GCE is owned by WAEC. It is recognize all over West Africa. General Certificate Examination (GCE) is for private candidates, the one you write in your secondary school school is called Senior Secondary school Certificate (SSCE). All are conducted by WAEC.
Ghana have GCE /WAEC O level and A level I don’t know if it’s changed now . Bcos i wrote this exams in 1989 for O level and 1991 for A level😊
Oh! There’s GCE in Ghana too?
@TheJumzTV GCE O and A levels are more popular at Ghana International Sch, the school I attended because the high population of children of diplomats and expatriates and tend to attend universities abroad. We even write International baccalaureate exams.
This guy's story doesn't add up at all. How can one grow up in the same house with his parents and not know that both of his parents are Ghanaian? If the parents are both born in Ghana, that automatically qualifies him as a Ghanaian regardless if he was born in Nigeria. Sounds as if the parents abandoned their culture and family all together. This is just for thought.
How do you expect him to know that he's from Ghana if he was not told by his parents as he was growing up, moreover his parents are not visiting Ghana regularly not to talk of bringing him to Ghana as a child or as a youth?
The Nigeria igbo, yoruba, Hausa etc cultures are very strong and can easily 'displace' one's original culture. Even the Nigeria pidgin is more or less a complete language, to tell you how immersive it can be. Can't blame him
Hmmmm
Why do most, if not all Nigerians, call their country NANGERIA??? I get sort of confuse many times hearing NANGERIA. Again, l thought the interjections were too many. Hope you allow your guest(s) to talk more, it would allow your listeners to follow your interviews well. Aside these few observations, I think its a nice video. Positive criticisms are good for growth. Thank you.
It’s funny how this is actually my first time hearing/reading this. 😂 It could be because we pronounce it fast and remember we have a variety of tribes, people have their accents as well.
So, I doubt that’s what you are hearing.
It is in the Igbo accent.
You are the one saying it
Truth is you cant pay the same school fees like a Ghanaian,when you visit someones home you dont sleep on the same bed
That’s also true.
We should reduce the high dollar charges for international students, especially west Africans/Africans. Ghanaian universities go to Nigeria to woo their students to come study here. We should charge them reasonable amounts so they're not overburdened.
Kenyans, southern africans are beginning to school in our schools. Universities. Let's charge reasonable amounts so more international students come here. Universities the world love to have international students to show their diversity etc
In fact the interruption is too much.
Okay noted.
Pounded yam is popular in northern Ghana. We beg stop calling that Fufu. 😂
In Nigeria we call it pounded Yam too but I noticed quite a number of people call it Yam Fufu here so I stuck with it😂.
I still wonder why Ghanaians pronounce 13, 14, 16 the way they do. No disrespect.
Same here. 13 to 19 is pronounced in a funny way.
I always laugh about it with my Ghanaian classmates back then in Europe.
We also wonder how you pronounce thirty as taaaati and 100 as hondred
@@Ayimwaa Ye, that's what makes us different. We joke so much about it. I poke my Ghanaian friends then too to say the word Digital and Genre. We used to joke paaa.
@@Ayimwaa😂😂😂 So true I used to laugh back in the days when I started watching naija movies. Funny they think we rather pronounce some words and figures wrongly 🤔
@@ekinematics ask your dictionary, Google speech engine to pronounce them and see whose is closest to the original
Bluecrest was home for Nigerian students 😂😂😂😂😂😂
You don’t say?
What was it about the school? Please share with us o.😂😂
I guess it just felt like home, I was mistaken for a Ghanaian on my first day there. School was fun, and flexible fee payments helped to make it easy for foreigners to pay especially Nigerians. Bluecrest is actually home for all
@@okohannette4400 I like that flexibility idea. Oh! Do you look Ghanaian or sound like one? 😀
@@TheJumzTV I guess I look like them 😂😂😂😂 now Bluecrest made me sound like them too 😂😂😂😂🤭
😂
But what do u expect a foreigner to pay equal fees as the indigenes. Go to the rest of the world is it not the same foreigners pay more than the people in their country. Aberg make we think
Don't mind him, His parents pay taxes in a foreign country n he expect to pay the same fees as an indigene.
Your Acquah name is purely fante ask your father well
It's an Akan name not Fante
Who told you
Do your research Nana
@@ebenkayghmedia3646 fante is akan
Ghanaians are generally cliquey …we did ape every english character however bad
Here in the States, they also don't say Alex but they use Al instead of Alexandria
Al?? Really?
Pounded yem in Ghana is for the northern part .
Oh really? I didn’t know this.
Even in the oti region they eat pounded yam
