Thank you maya! If You don’t plan and you move to Ghana, you would complain like “bitter anna”.

I tell you Accra stay by plan
@@kofisam4106 she is talking about the security man that takes 300 cedis and has to take everyday to work. The banker that takes less 3000 cedis etc let’s face the reality
@@mariam9977 Wode got where he got complaining about he was treated in china. Maybe he should of planned better before he went there?
We shouldnt forget our humble beginnings, everyone has to start somewhere and nobody knows all the answers.
Shes opening the conversation.
I just came back from Ghana just 4 days ago. Accra is tooo expensive. I spent more money in 2 weeks than what I spend in Germany for 3 months it is not easy.
😢
@@frostnelly45 since when?
@@frostnelly45 foooolish comment
I have lived in Accra, Ghana all my life and I can categorically state that it takes a lot of brevity to live in Ghana. Diasporans got to give it to us in that regard. An economy where things are paid for in cash and in full without any form of government assistance!
If you eat at expensive restaurants of course you'll pay for it.
If you eat at a fancy chop bar you can spend at most Ghc25
Why are people in the comments with their “whataboutism”??? It’s annoying. She’s talking about Ghana for people who are interested in Ghana. Yes, we know about the global economy, but people are interested in or thinking about going/moving to Ghana WANT TO HEAR ABOUT GHANA!
Thank you Anna for having the courage to discuss such a sensitive subject matter.
Facts
The whole world is connected as we saw with Covid. If a developed country sneeze Africa and the rest of the world catches a cold. Inflation effects the whole world. Nothing wrong with people saying that.
@@eileenwatt8283 yeah sure. But she’s talking to people in Ghana and being attacked. Every country STILL has their own unique experiences. People should “search” their country of interest/preference and comment on those channels if they don’t like what she’s saying about GHANA.

Westernising an African economy like Ghana's without taking into account of likely impact on d locals, is like a time bomb waiting to explode. Ghana economic policy makers must not comprise only of those that had western educations, quite often they aren't in touch with reality. Currently Ghana's economy is too westernized, that means hardship for d local ghanaians isn't right neither is Infrastructure development that result in hardship for locals = 0. Let there be a balance.
Infrastructure developments can't be an excuse for never ending hardship and Opening up of Ghana to d world should be a blessing not a curse if d people in charge knows what they are doing. Govt must be able to cater for local needs in balance with diaspora community, expatriates and foreign investors needs & expectations. Whatever happens govt must make sure local Ghanaians must not suffer period.
Definitely a ticking time bomb for the policy makers. They are completely disregarding the locals. The govt will be overthrown in the coming years and i hope it doesn't lead to a civil war.
Time Bomb for real
Good work Mrs Acheampong. I see a very strong Woman Warrior.
I am currently in the U.K. but plan to come to Africa next year to start implementing my plans to create jobs and development opportunities for the youth in Nigeria and across africa
Thanks for bringing us to the streets of Accra. Accra is becoming expensive for foreign nationals also. What can we do?
I’m determined to stay in Accra until the dollar drops back down.
I’d love to stay in Accra but how the prices are 🙈
" A man who is deprived and only cares about his survival is a dangerous one"; I hope Ghana can implement/reinforce laws to give all citizens access to the basic necessities.
YES, we must go beyond survival and be more focused on ensuring that our people THRIVE.
@@malakiamen facts
Inflation is global and ghana is no exception. We are suffering in the UK too. Are we not humans?
I wonder
Do you pay rent in 2 years advance? Do you have water shortages? Does the UK government not give you child allowance ? Do you have manholes on your major highways? Come again ! People like you are the reason Ghanaians in Ghana are suffering. You want us to remain poor forever. Do you know what it takes to pay for things in whole and cash ? Thank God I left Ghana! I hope you experience healthcare at the Korle-bu Teaching hospital one day. Your mindset will certainly change for good!
Ghana is not falling apart, this inflation is global and it started from the U. S, if you go to the grocery stores everything is triple the price. You’ll be lucky even if you find something to buy because some stores are empty, we’re just praying it doesn’t get worse.
You lack basic education to enable you to analyze facts, other than that, you a tribal biggot who won't dare speak the truth .
If there are things in the store , can you buy? It us the US you are talking about, there will be stuff in stores , maybe a visible differences in some places on shelves, but are they really bare, honestly?
Oh really, do you listen to the news. The once fastest growing economy in the world and now the Cedi is the worst performing currency in the world. The irony is Ghana is not at war and it’s Government has not collapsed. How did it come to this!!!
@@sarahashun1180 you sound bitter, what’s your problem? The recession is everywhere. Moreover Ghana is not the poorest country in the world! Aboa ba!!!
Yes ooooo,I just returned from Walmart and a lot of empty space that I have not seen before,Ghanaians don’t know what is going and don’t understand,everything are up here in the state but still taking the same pay so think
Until Ghanaian start to appreciate what Ghana produced they get nowhere 😊
My cry for yearrrrs!! We have too much taste for foreign and imported goods leaving our locally produced goods to waste!!
Over reliance on foreign imports
. Ghana needs more investment in agriculture for local consumption..manufacturing and raw materials processing
Anna, please follow this up with a sit down video, sharing what governments around the world have put in place to assist at this time of global hardship. People are not getting it because they just want to defend Ghana and to them that is paramount, even over accepting some realities. Instead they are accusing you and want to make you the enemy. Its clear you actually love Ghana if they watch your other videos.
Anna, Ghana is not falling apart.....
the crisis is everywhere but unfortunately some greedy and selfish people are taking advantage of the situation to manipulate, hording/ hijacking the currencies and inflate prices to achieve their interest.
Your caption is a bit harsh.
Facts
Do you live in Ghana? Do you earn in Ghana cedis? Do you access health care in Ghana? If not you're talking Bullshit! I blame the embazzy for giving people like you visas. You would have been very useless in Ghana! Do you know what it takes to gather money to rent in 2 years at a go?
Government please stand up and take care of your people 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🇬🇭
Thank you Anna for addressing such impotant issues!!
Thing is, Ghana had the fastest growing economy in 2019 till mid 2020 until we were badly hit by corona and its repercussions just as our government were trying to get back on their feet then the russian war started with Ukraine. Fact is, Ghana is a heavily import driven country which consumes almost everything imported. Now the government has come to the realisation of being self dependent. We are now building mega factories and facilities which would produce almost everything we used to import and then ban importation of those goods and consume what we produce. Ghana is not poor, we are just facing challenges and we'll come out of this. I like the fact that all these are happening cos we are now getting the reality of seeing how important it is to be self reliant. Looking at it from a certain angle, when Ghana comes out of this we would be a greatly industrialised country.
The recesssion is a global thing. Ghana isn't the only country facing it. We would come out of this stronger. Together we can! #sikampedede😊
The world is becoming expensive at this moment
Global😂
Keep dreaming. Ghana problem is world problems but Ghana glory is Ghana glory. Ode! Ghana is suffering alone don't mention the world
This is a world wide issue, not just Ghana.
Yes we understand but why are we the ones most affected? Are we part of the Russian-Ukraine war? A country like Somalia and Sri Lanka that are facing instability isn't facing currency depreciation as Ghana does. We borrow too much and can't even account for the money. Why won't the dollar keep rising. Corruption everywhere.
@@markacheampong8823 "We borrow too much and can't even account for the money", well said.
The Papa who was seated, made an excellent point. The people who are equipped to handle the situation aren't being consulted.
The closing scene with the fisherman was amazing.
The situation is worldwide 🌐👏 not just in Ghana.
Thanks for interacting with the locals people in the street and thanks for sharing this beautiful video with us
Well done for being so humble and encouraging to your interviewees
Anna, great video...much needed update considering the worldwide economic down turn.
Well done Anna, thank you for this informative video

@@eever6545 do Ghana also have the same systems those countries you mentioned have? Do Ghanaians pays more taxes like those countries you talked about? Answer this question and think again
Yes inflation is happening everywhere. In the U.S. things have gotten rough. However, in my opinion, the rate of inflation in Ghana is even more alarming. I was there a few weeks ago. In the middle of buying rice the price went up 5-10 cedis, at all of the shops when I was at Madina Market. My friend contacted me a week later and said the rice we bought for 540 went up to 830.
Thank you for reporting on this!!!
Anna what about engaging the public in the world wide economic challenges ongoing so they can benchmark Ghana's progress against neighbouring countries in Africa and beyond. Some developed, emerging and undeveloped countries are also struggling.
In UK now 5kg rice is selling at 13 pounds. That's about 190 cedis. Currently, 5kg sells at 55 cedis in Ghana. Electricity, water and gas tariffs are all up over 50% in UK. France is facing serious fuel supply challenges.
I am one of the people who were the first citizens of Ghana post independence. There has been worse struggles than what we are now experiencing. What about the rampant coups those days? It was unsettling.
During university days we had to carry cocoa beans from the farms in the hinterland into towns so they can be exported and foreign exchange reserves raised.
Early 80s there were real food shortages, prices were up, fuel shortage, locusts attacks on foodstuff. The only food that one could get hold of was yellow kenkey and for GA dangmes it was unheard off, but no choice. Furthermore, yellow corn which was normally used as poultry feed was what was available. No choice. This went on for 4 years there about.
There was almost 4 years drought which led to meat shortages. As cattles died. Poultry too was seriously affected by bird flu. No importation of goods into the country because of low foreign reserves. At that time most people lost weight so their Adam's apples were so visible. Hence, the nick name 'Rawlings chain'. Bread was scarce too. Let us be thankful and also pay taxes. If only 33% of citizens pay taxes then it is difficult to have a comfortable headroom to mitigate circumstances like this. Please try and educate. Even use Netherlands as a case study. Showing how each citizen pays tax, which is then used to develop the country as well as support the under privilaged. Encourage the public to use more local products. We have to stop enjoying perfume rice and more of the local one. Those struggling days we were taught to tighten our belts. Then we used to eat once a day and that stayed as a habit. The good Lord who took Ghana out of the drought, food crisis etc in the 80s will do so for us now. Keep praying and be patient. Not easy, but if we the first Ghanaian citizens sacrificed our comforts and pressed on, then, it shall be well. Walking was a norm and must then. We nick named our legs AD11. Stay bless.
Thank you.
The difference is that the governments in the western world actually create responses to hard times. They will help in other ways to deal with increasing prices outside their control. This includes rent freeze policies, tax freezes and additional welfare payments even to help with higher price of petrol, help for small businesses. Also, in the UK, US etc people pay rent monthly, not yearly or for two years in one go. How can people cope with that? When you consider it all, it's actually not the same thing in reality.
I live in Nigeria part of the year, but I'm from the UK. I visited my family in the UK over the summer and I definitely saw a price hike of usual things. My sister in London saves by buying in bulk and buying online. In the UK, you can shop around and maybe eat a different brand of rice. If you go to Amazon right now, you can buy 10KG of Tilda broken basmati rice, its £13.89 for another brand for 20kg its £21.95. If you have Amazon Prime the delivery is free. So, you can actually save on fuel too. These times call for flexibility and being creative. People can get more for their money if they team up with others to buy bulk and split it. The price hikes in Nigeria is also ridiculous and I think it will get worse due to the floods. I have advised people to buy bulk now (if they can), before there is scarcity and price hikes. I went to the market yesterday to check the price of bags of rice and beans etc so I can buy bulk. I also am looking for ways to grow food at home, in plant pots. I always buy Tomatoes (fresh and puree), pepper and salad pepper, spinach, herbs, garlic etc and these are things that I can learn to grow myself and after a while I will get them for free. Anyone can do that, even indoors or on a window sill.
There are even how to videos on CZcams, including food storage techniques. I may take this up as my hobby, actually.
@@sylviasworld9397 the developed countries like UK have tax policies in place that ensures most of the population pay their little or big tax contributions as calculated by the tax man. Eg those employed, businesses small/large, occupational pensions, council tax for all households, churches/charity taxes, corporation and capital gains property taxes. Proportion of these taxes are paid into chest and distributed through the budget heads such as welfare to support the needy, education, health and local/districts/unitary/parish councils and indeed NI, Scotland and Wales. In GH minority of 33% pay taxes. Property rate collection is low neither is business rate collection great. So how can a good welfare support be established? The citizens also need to become patriotic and start supporting with their widows mite. As one of the first Ghanaians our times we were all made to pay land poll tax including indirect and direct taxes. The tax tickets ranged from 20 pesewas to higher denominations. You the individual bought a ticket that you were comfortable with. Interestingly, there was good support across board from hawkers, market women etc. Nobody rejected the scheme Honesty and integrity was visible and present then. The tax collectors were honest and paid the money collected into the government chest. The officials were honest and as such the money was available for the purposes intended. Today, people who can afford to pay taxes do not do so. Our days there was free education too even in Accra my home town. Free school uniforms were provided to those whose parents were struggling. Free bus rides for all school going children on government run OSA buses. Price control was enforced by government and complied by the market women and traders. Today greed has pushed us where we are. Our days, price control was enforced by Ghana Food Distribution company which was dismantled early 80s. All farmers sent their crops to GDC to be weighed and paid on the spot. The GDC had retail outlets across the country in all regions and their townships. Hence, most people shopped from these retail food stores. Products were affordable and also at controlled prices in the local markets. Ghana Meat board and fisheries had the same model. Ghana before the 80s produced local rice, tomatoes in paga, Nsawam canneries, sugar from asutware. We all have to dirty our hands and start growing our backyard food to be self sufficient again. Acheampong time it was mandatory all homes should grow basic food stuff, have a small fish pond, poultry etc for rainy days. This scheme worked well under the supervision of Ministry of Agriculture. Even private and public schools had farms not mushroom ones, proper large farms. Hope this history which I'm sure most of were not aware of will bring out the best in all of us to go a further mile to be part of the solution.

@@benbo7042 bro, you’re a liar!!!
Serious interviews,well done…….cheers.
Anna this interview of yours has brought some good thoughts and vibes. Well done.
You may find this historical information I'm sharing interesting.
We had some good set ups post independence through to the latter 70s.
As one of the first Ghanaian citizens at that time, all citizens mandatorily paid their widows mite into the 'land poll tax' pot. The tax tickets ranged from 20 pesewas to higher denominations. You the individual bought a ticket that you were comfortable with. Interestingly, there was good support across board from hawkers, market women etc. Nobody rejected the scheme. Honesty and integrity was visible and present then. The tax collectors were honest and paid the money collected into the government chest. The officials were honest and as such the money was available for the purposes intended.
Today, people who can afford to pay taxes do not do so. Hence, low tax collection revenue, which could assist in establishing a welfare support for those in need.
Our days post independence there was free education, even in Accra my home town. Free school uniforms were provided to those whose parents were struggling. Free bus rides for all school going children on government run OSA buses. All because patriotism and honesty were visible, and the collected resources were used as intended.
At that time, price control was enforced by government and complied by the market women and traders.
The citizens of today, must take a fair share of the blame too. Today greed has pushed us where we are. We are all chasing after expensive material wealth. So we are all non compliant in different ways.
I remember the days price control was enforced by Ghana Food Distribution company, which was dismantled early 80s.
The system was such that all farmers sent their crops to GDC to be weighed and paid for on the spot. The GDC had retail outlets across the country in all regions and their townships. Hence, most people shopped from these retail food stores. Products were affordable and also at controlled prices in the local markets. Ghana Meat board and fisheries had the same model.
Ghana before the 80s produced local rice, tomatoes in paga, Nsawam canneries, sugar from asutware.
We all have to dirty our hands and start growing our backyard food to be self sufficient again.
Late Col Acheampong's time it was mandatory all homes should grow basic food stuff, have a small fish pond, poultry etc for rainy days. This scheme worked well under the supervision of Ministry of Agriculture. Homes were provided with seeds and support from the ministry. The assistance also applied to setting up fish ponds if you had enough land space in your back yard. Even private and public schools had farms not mushroom ones, proper large farms. Those of us who were in boarding schools had the joyful task to help tend the farms. Hope this history which I'm sure most are not aware of will bring out the best in all of us to go a further mile to be part of the solution.
Chale sometimes summarize your comments so that we can read wai😂
Lol. I hear, but difficult to summarise history. It has to be told in detail.
I'm glad you're focusing on more meaningful issues affecting the people. The inflation problems are worldwide. We're facing the same inflationary issues in the US as well. China's reduced manufacturing and Russia's war in Ukraine are making things worse globally

Um that's what THE GOVERNMENT WANTS! They want Accra to be only for the foreigners/ppl with money.

Ghana was becoming overpriced back in 2019. Some homes were for rent at $2000-$4000 per month, in a 3rd world country?!?! Never!🙅🏽♀️ That was an indication that inflation was coming.
Greed was, and is the culprit!
Unfortunately, people were exploiting the #YearOfReturn festivities. Little did they realize or accept that price gouging other Black people is not a good strategy. It’s also unsustainable. A lot of our African brothers and sisters falsely believe that all Black people from the US, UK, etc…. are rich. 🤦🏾♂️

Luv this video keep it up
Same case to kenya 🇰🇪...it shall be well
Thanks for this video Anna! I hate to see my people struggling like this. Ghana is no longer for Ghanaians anymore. Seems like it’s for outsider/foreigners. Yes it’s nice to have foreigners come to Ghana and explore BUT our people shouldn’t have to suffer cause of it!
you are very correct.
I noticed that too when i visited Accra.
Things are so expensive. your currency has value..but has very low purchasing power.
even the house rents are not affordable for the natives there...how can you build houses that only foreigners can pay for?
some houses are ecen as expensive as housesin the UK and in the US, but come on!! these people don't earn in dollars..they earn little in ghana cedis and some are average earners.
In a city, or in a country, at least, some places ahould be known for affordable house rent for the low earners and some expensive places for middle class...and some luxury places for the very high class people.
This is how i have seen it, in most places....i just pity for the citizens.
So many people are now willing to leave and work outside.
Thank you so much for this Anna.. You've grown so much in personality, confidence and interviewer. I remember watching u and ur family's first video washing clothes outside when you moved to Ghana.

Ghana or the world isn't going to get cheaper, is only those who act swiftly and invest in something valuable who will smile at the end tougher times awaits us. that's my piece of advice.
Herrrrhhhh, you said a little Twi and it was perfect. You are trying. We like that.
Im acctualy oke in Twi im just scared to speak and make mistakes. But i can understand alot 😎
@@AnnaAcheampong what I heard your pronunciation and accent was on point. I was impressed! And this video capturing the economic hardships of the average Ghanaian was excellently done. Thanks for doing this.
My dear, the economy is bad everywhere. Here in the US a bag of rice that use to cost $9 dollars is now $22 dollars. A lot of people can’t even pay their rent and many people are homeless. This issue is a global issue and has nothing to do with the government or president. The youth must look into farming because that’s the future money making business.
Rice bought from the dollar store is not $22 and was never $9. Let's be real, you can go to different stores that are in fact cheaper.Maybe you change the brand or rice, instead have pasta or couscous or potatoes.
You better tell the truth. Rice is the cheapest food in the US, and mentions Africans who can't pay rent in the US unless they are lazy. If the US is as expensive as Ghana, you can fly back to Ghana and start a new life.
I think Akans are in denial that their president has failed! I blame the US embazzy for giving you visa. You would have been so useless in Ghana. Do people get food stamps in Ghana? I wish you'd ibe day fall sick in Ghana and be rushed to the Korle-bu teaching hospital to see what healthcare looks like.

Facts😂
Ghana is falling apart? Please be sensible about the information you put out. Is it cheap living in Holland? Living costs are rising everywhere. It is a worldwide crisis. Prices in London have gone up three fold. The UK government is even supporting citizens with their fuel bills etc. Although you are reporting what people say make sure you also educate people at the same time. In a country where almost everything is imported from overseas, inflationary pressures overseas will be imported too.
Do your homework before your venture out and make videos like this because videos have the power to mis-educate.
Thank you! Responsible reporting is needed. Accra is hard but living in london at the moment will make you cry. Never downplay the problems but it’s important to give the story with both sides telling people in africa life is difficult without telling them what’s happening in Europe or the west is dangerous people risking their life to get on unsafe boats coming to a country which is experiencing exactly the same problems you are experiencing without documentation will be hell on earth.
Does the Ghana government give people child allowance? Rent subsidies? Food stamps? I wish you'd come to Ghana, fall sick and visit the Korle-bu teaching hospital just to see what people go through. A lot of you are in Europe and telling us Ghanaians living in Ghana to shut up! I don't blame you .I blame the embazzies giving out visas to illiterates like you who would have been otherwise useless in Ghana
@@eever6545 Have you spent a day in the Uk and experienced our health care system or the so called welfare state. Let me educate you i’m not talking for the USA but the united Kingdom and Europe. All of these systems were developed in 1945 when the England and Europe had control of the commonwealth all those African countries did not have independence, before 1945 The united kingdom had no support system and then they went through a war to stop the spread of communism the poor over throwing the rich something had to be put in place. These systems where put in place supported by 2 factors zero unemployment so tax contributions and due to Europe rebuilding they had to even beg for migrants to come and help from their colonies and money being stolen from overseas. We are now in 2023 we have high unemployment so no money coming and African countries waking up the last hold was on the francophone countries France is at the moment terrified that this may happen soon. I cannot speak for USA but i know for a fact except for Germany welfare systems in Europe is coming to end. The news does not inform Africa what’s happening here at the moment since November in London Doctors and Nurse have been on sporadic strikes I don’t blame them over pay The welfare state already declining nearly collapsed over covid. Deaths that were unheard of a few years ago are happening due to no immediate access to healthcare. Malnutrition thought of as and African problem is now here in Europe
People are not just moving to Africa because they are stupid some may be stupid because they fail to plan their exit but if done now you can work with the remnants of what’s there this so called system you think is wonderful is in its last days. another question that no one is thinking about or addressing the situation is so bad in Europe how do you know Europe won’t look to recolonise it because they are desperate, the African governments are not yet ready to protect themselves so I think we need to be there to protect it.
@@nanafrima5522 I've lived in Europe and currently live in Ghana. I won't debunk your reality but I'm comfortable because I earned in euros which is to my advantage in Ghana. The Ghanaians living in Ghana are suffering and it's a reality we've got to talk about. Hustle in Ghana and Africa can never be compared to hustle in Europe! No credit score system,social housing... nothing! Terrible sewage infrastructure, roads. It's too much do deal with!
@@eever6545 I m not saying the hustle in Ghana is not bad, you have lived in Europe so you know what life will be in Europe without the correct documentation. Also you know the picture africans have of the west is not accurate. you yourself are living in Ghana earning Euros, would you be as comfortable in Europe earning those euros working and living. Life is hard in Ghana living and working using cedis. live is hard in the west living and working with western currencies. If you take western money to africa of course you will have an easy life. The only advantage the western world has over Africa is access to healthcare yes it’s a big thing but that advantage is dwindling. Even with western citizenship you have lived here have you not seen the homelessness and the hardship be honest. The west is difficult however you can manage with documentation if africans do not have documentation they have no chance i am not going to feed my brothers and sisters lies about where they are coming too especially when it’s going to be extremely difficult to succeed. my uncle’s who were successful abroad and now are in Ghana came in the 70s and 80s when you could work cash in hand and papers were easier to come by will they come now definitely not they also have the privilege of joint citizenship and see both sides of the story and they are urging all the nieces and nephews abroad to come home as they have better chance of success of course we have the added benefit of foreign passports but once established we would all gladly hustle in Ghana.
price is up everywhere even here in America in New york rent is 2000 for a one bedroom you go to the supermarket you have to pay for the bags you putting your grocerys..smh am sure in Holland it get expensive to.
You can also reuse bags for free.
You are obviously not too smart.
@@benbo7042 odwan, you’re not smart either!!!
That’s what I asked a few months ago. How is there no violence worth the increasing prices. It will ultimately result in anger and anger leads to violence.
Great reporting! It was great to see Ghanaians talk about inflation. I hope you do more reporting on the citizens of the country.
You need to go read a book and stop displaying ignorance here.
Anna i think you should interview some intellectuals too. I guess they'll also have a different perspective of what's happening and their opinions on how to solve them. We've heard from the streets, let's hear from the scholars too.
She just showed you a video of you idiotic politicians and scholars. Look at them behaving like wild animals trying to run a country 😂 Accept the truth and stop blaming Ukraine because you’re country has been corrupt before,during, and after white peoples 😅
Ghanians to my experience will always praise Ghana even when things have fucked up... And that is good and being panafrican....keep up ghana....😜😜😜😜😜😜😜 Even akkuffu Addo will always go to mzungu countries and dance with them even when things back home are bad... And still smile as Europeans play with Ghana gold and cocoa
You have a problem with us right?
@@frostnelly45 not at all... My husband is a ghanian but the competition in the house of how Ghana is sooooo nice..and Kenya sooo bad. 🤔Makes me sometime wonder but why!!!!!
We love you dear keep it up
Things aren't too gud now buh its not jux Ghana,its happening everywhere its a global crisis
Although that is true, can you explain why Ghana's cedi is the worst performing currency in the world right now?
You guys need to come to America, and see how expensive everything is, a loaf of bread is 4.00 dollars, gas is 5.00 dollars a gallon, this is going on all over the world, it call inflation, we don’t even get any pay increase in America
If you think America is difficult to live, move to Ghana to experience what they go through.
Don’t mind them my sister, now a tube of plantain is $1.00 and it’s not even big like the ones we have in Ghana, a bag of rice has jumped from $13.00 to $21.00 and that is if you buy from Costco, a wholesale price so I don’t know how much it will cost if you buy from the retailers. I always tell my people that if have a spare land grow your food because it’s gonna get worse.
@@estheroppong4782 Egyimie. Move to Ghana then. Why are still in the US if , according to you, villager, the US is worst off than Ghana. Egyimie, you get child benefits, child tax deduction, rent allowances for low income families, food banks, etc. Do Ghanaians get these free stuff that you get? Village girl.
@@benbo7042 ofui ba, aponkye ba, kwashia bulu!!!!
@@benbo7042 it's obvious you're not a Ghanaian and you're seen everywhere under comments sections on CZcams trying to shame Ghana. You won't gain anything from that..... It's wegyimi or gyimie not egyimie. Tnx
SALUD Ana, Very good live Interviews. The local people voice was necessary.
I agree, their being overlooked too many times
@@AnnaAcheampong luv from Ghana 🇬🇭
Ghana is not falling apart
And it never will.
Sweetheart, l love your vlogs but your questions were out of context. You asked about price increases without asking if they know the impact of current war in Ukraine and Covid on prices
The solution may be for investors to resettle in Accra and bring in resources and business opportunities. I'm currently in UK, recently submitted for voluntary return to Accra...hoping to hear something back very soon 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾.
What is voluntary return?
The video was good.
This is a global thing the difference is that if you are unemployed in the west the govt gives you pocket money.this pocket money is also affected .for the thirds world is worse.the govt should trim the ministers it's too large and use the money for health and other things they must stop filling their pockets. Where did the money from the covid testing in the airport go? ?
Good job my dear
That’s right, rent control is important. Here in the states my rent went up $900.00 in two years. What will happen next year? This craziness is all over the world. We need to pray to God on each other behalf. God bless.
They want to beat Putin on our backs whereas the guy has unlimited energy and natural resources in addition to bad ass guns. We have idiots running the world.
Rent control will only destroy the real estate market
Wow
Almost at 80k🎉🥰🥰
What about leaving in Europe and America,have they told you how expensive it is now
When are you coming to South Africa? It will be great to have you.
Im working on it ♥️👍🏽
@@AnnaAcheampong Great! Good luck.
Looking in from the outside, it seems that 1. There are no structures that are implemented and carried through. What I mean by that is wholefoods prices. Housing, etc. This isn't a fast solution, but several steps if taken can now help with food and housing prices. A regulatory board needs to cap rental prices, I understand that the government has set up a trade initiative to buy the crops from farmers to be able to stabilise the prices of goods being sold at the market. But I'm unsure how that is going with the farmers selling their goods through them. I think 1 of the problems with that is they don't like change. They very rarely like to change how they do things. With regards to the fuel prices. I know with the previous party in power, the pipelines were not managed updated or working, so that was running at a loss. Lots of money has been invested in updating the infrastructure, so that they can sell fuel etc, which costs a lot in that investment. With the market sellers one suggestion that might be useful. Why not pool their resources and buy in bulk if they can to try and offset some of their costs. Lots of them sell the same goods but don't have to sell them in the same part of the market. Also change their wholesalers, go and negotiate prices. Also use the train to move the goods. It's cheaper. There's so much more I can add, but this is a start. Also the people need to pay their taxes. That helps the economy if the money is being used correctly. This is why e-levy on mobile money transaction was introduced too, to give the government a new revenue of income.
They have to give u post to educate people abt sanitation bcos i can do more on that
Same in Dar es salaam/ Tanzania in general
There is inflation almost everywhere in the world , the government need to reduce the suffering of the people.Also in Nigeria, prices have skyrocketed, the crisis in Ukraine is also a contributing factor coupled with Corona crisis affected the economy this year.
When a ship at sea needs to stop or change directions, it can’t just immediately stop and turn. It already has a lot of momentum to overcome first. If Ghana didn’t want what they have now, they should have changed course years ago.
What shows that ghana is falling apart?isn't Netherlands going through the same thing?
Thank you. Ghana 🇬🇭 will never fall apart.
Shis in Ghana doing vlogg on Ghana not Netherlands, I Ve heard her say what she doesn t like about Netherlands when shis in Netherlands.
If it was the same, would she have moved back to the Netherlands and be staying there? Would she not have already moved back to Ghana? The school fees she had to pay in Ghana for her kids, is she paying it in the NL?That is a saving her society affords her and it's a significant saving. She does not have to pay rent for a whole year or two in one go in the NL, that is a massive consideration too. When she or anyone else in her family gets sick, how much does she pay in NL as opposed to Ghana? Does Ghana have a welfare state to help the poorest or most sick? NL does. In fact they have a whole package of assistance IN RESPONSE to the higher cost of living and inflation affecting their citizens. Which is a global situation.
Sometimes we have to be honest with ourselves. We are saying 'it is a global issue', yes and it is, but compare the responses and you will see its not the same and because of that, we should not say it's the same, because it is not.
Even during covid lockdown there were responses by governments to the people. We were ALL in lockdown around the globe, but check the responses. That is how you know if you are living in a society or just a geographical area.
Thank you.
@@sylviasworld9397 gyimiee we don’t have welfare, but we family!!!
Hi Anna. Inflation is biting hard here too. Not seen anything like it. I live in Nottingham, UK. The global crisis is real. Coming out of Covid and the war in Ukraine. Yes, Government policies have an impact too of course. What is life like for you in the Netherlands right now? Here the cost of living in the UK is just crazy!! People using FOOD BANKS to survive.
Tell her or tell the Ghanaians some people in the UK can’t afford to pay their rent, fuel etc.
These modern CZcamsrs will do any damage to Ghana to earn a quid.
In NETHERLANDS most people don’t have a pot to piss in that one it’s kept in the butt
@@bash2268 She’s aware of these things. But in Europe there’s a safety net. The question you should be asking is, why is the Cedi the worst performing currency in the world? Ghana isn’t at war with anyone. Moreover, why is Ghana such an expensive country to live in, it’s hardly Switzerland.
@@sarahashun1180Yes, of course people who live in Ghana can't deny how poorly the Cedi is performing now. I think some have issue with these CZcamsrs coming here for a week, taking lots of footage, going home putting together a bunch of videos as if they are really here and experiencing it. People are having a hard time all over the world, maybe she can highlight issues in Amsterdam as well, since she doesn't live here.
@@sarahashun1180 I personally can’t stand these freaks content creators they know exactly what they doing.
Some countries in Europe it’s harder than Ghana. Accra it not for squatters and party freaks who don’t have a pot to piss complaining all the time
The point is, there is such a thing as food banks that people can access. Does Ghana have food banks where people can access free food? In their stores are people able to buy an extra package for people in need? They do that at Sainsbuy's, Morrison's etc in the UK and they have done it before the price hike. When you are shopping, you can purchase an extra package to help people and those packages are often just a few pounds, and you see them piled up ready to go out to people in need. The issue is not the worldwide struggle, its a lack of response that is the issue. In Western countries the response is not just from the government, but also from concerned citizens that are able to feel for others and empathise. The mentality is often a little different in developing countries.
Living in every country is getting too expensive for everyone.
