If I didn’t read the caption. I would have thought it was downtown Kingston Jamaica. Love it. I need to visit Africa and Ghana in particular.
Ha yes thats what I thought! Made a video comparing Ghana to JA on my channel
Do so dear
Soooo true, I was thinking the same. I had to post a link above!
It does look like downtown Kingston,Jamaica. It also looks like Coronation Market.
Riri Travels Gh vs JA! Lol.
I watched your Jamaica content before going to Jamaica and now you are in my homeland I’m so happy ❤️☺️
Thank you! I loved it in Ghana!

@@RiazPhillips like want you are doing
Jamaica living in Ghana for 20 years
Wow so happy for this series
I was there for a month Jan-Feb explored Accra Cape Coast volta region and Kumasi, I'm Jamaican born living in London.I must say it was a great experience definitely returning also plan on visiting other countries on the continent. Peace bro
cool same! Im UK/JA. maybe we crossed over I also did Accra, Cape and Kumasi. Also looking forward to going back and also seeing more countries. Thanks for watching
Wow I was just scrolling through CZcams and saw this 😍😍😍. I love it
Thanks you for sharing this wonderful experience!!😥 Just beautiful and heartwarming. I'm Jamaican, living in Canada, but its in Ghana that I really want be.
Amazing. If i could live anywhere that wasnt Africa or Caribbean it would be Toronto or somewhere else in Canada
You are so smart, you understand nuances and culture, you knew it was better to tell you are from Jamaica, you truly know how to blend in !
Ha thanks! well its technically true now so I'm just getting used to saying it!
Why’s that Shirley? Are you implying that he would’ve experienced bigotry based on his country of origin?
@@parsnipfingers no Ghanaians absolutely adore Jamaica and know we are also poor and disenfranchised and also that we were both under British Colonial rulership ... Saying he was from UK he would be charged higher prices and tbh Ri just got his Jamaican citizenship .. so he’s actually more British than Jamaican.
@@shirleyharris1585 I understand now, thank you for your reply 🙏.
If Riaz has some wealth I’d like to think he’d overpay voluntarily to these people (and indeed, Jamaicans) if he is in a position to do so. From the videos I’ve enjoyed so far he comes across as a gentle, respectful man in any case.
Best wishes to you.
Such a colorful country😁
The open market is often the best place to get a quick immersion into another culture, IMO.
Thanks, Riaz, I learn something new from each of your vlogs👍
Bless!
Thanks for always watching!
Beautyful country and culture, my friend told me its one of the safest and friendliest country in Africa, we are going to go visit his family once this whole c19 thing is over
Yes it felt very safe even at night.
I like the high life music in the background! happy you enjoyed your trip to Ghana. Next time you could join the Citi FM heritage caravan. It will give you the chance to visit almost all the regions and and experience the diverse culture.
Interesting! I will look in to that Caravan trip
Those are really amazing, hardworking and dedicated women, queens i have seen in my life.
Thank you for showing my motherland Ghana👌🇬🇭🇬🇭💞
Thaks for watching x
Thank you. Beautiful seeing our family enjoying their work. How third world can they be, with so much food and other resources just like in England.
Remember when they only showed tumble down old houses/shacks and children with ripped up clothing? No one knew Africa was the same as anywhere else; affluent areas and deprived areas. Thank God for.the mobile/cell phone with camera. God Bless Africa.
I said the same thing. Its so great we have mobiles and affordable travel now! They cant hide the truth from us! 1st world/3rd world nonsense is a myth!
Africa headquarters Ghana 🇬🇭. God bless mother Ghana
This sauce with the fried fish is the tastiest omg !!! Accra Restaurant in Bronx NY!!! Yum
Ah wow. I didnt know there was African restaurants in the Bronx. I will check it out next time!
Riri Travels yes Burnside #4 train stop
M Palmer yup! That the location 👍🏾The Bronx is my Home
Lady ghana wow !!!🖤🖤🤣
Omg. I see your comment.am was on another comment with when a fake black girl tried to come for you. Am ghanaian btw
Africans from Ghana and Jamaica are with each other soulfully, culturally, consciously and ethnically 🇬🇭🇯🇲💯Our Makola Market in Accra full of things such as peppers, palm oil, yams, ripe plantains, green plantains, sugar cane, cassavas, fishes, chickens, rices, bananas, oranges and peanuts.
Just found your channel and its giving me LIFE! Im thinking about moving to JA or Ghana from London so this is perfect, I ve been ignoring my chores all morning and watching your vids instead hahaha
Would be my dream as Jamaican to go to Accra
Hope one day you can make it!
No visa requirements btw 👍
AWESOME!!! Thanks Riaz. Have many Ghanaians in my church and they have their own churches in London, Reading & Luton as far as I know. LOVELY hospitable people. My brother visited Ghana a few years ago and said he felt so at home. Can't wait to see more🙂🥰👋
Yes amazing people!
I'm Jamaican and I must say that their Market place (streets) are much cleaner. Loving the vibe, must visit.
This place is full of life and prosperity. I can't wait to visit. Thank you for such a great video. The people there are so beautiful and so are the colors everywhere around you.
The market look like downtown Kingston.So much similarities.Nice👍.
True! Thats what I thought. I made another video comparing JA to Ghana check it out

Thanks for watching!
Hi Riaz! Just chanced upon your vlogs today. I didn't know Ghana was so much like Jamaica! I'm a Ghanaian and have been in Ghana most part of my life. I really like your videos. Greetings from Kumasi :-)
Thank you! It's beautiful and everything is still out of tradition and culture! The food is extraordinary! You can eat something all day long something different! You look like a local guy know won't know who you are! Lol 😆
Thanks! Ghana is amazing!
Colours in this video look awesome.
Thank you
Loved this
Thank you!
Thanks Riri for reply. Sounds really nice. Can’t wait to get to Ghana. I’m uk born with Jamaican parents but am soo connected to Ghana. I have Ghanaians in the family through marriage so always want to go but can’t get the chance yet. I’ll look for that drink for sure when I get there. I was trying to look up ship documents but the archives i came across are paid for. Was this the case for you or am I looking in the wrong place. I went onto the gov.uk National Archive site.
One family one love APTTHM.💯🇯🇲🇬🇭
one love!
Love this been watching a lot of videos about Ghana I’m originally from Jamaica would love to go there can you tell us about your accommodations while you were there thanks mate keep the videos coming
Thanks. next time i go ill do an accommodation but I stayed with friends this time so I didn't want to put their private place on CZcams.
Hi Riri. Nice video. Keep up the good work. What was the brown iced drink from the market called please? And what does it taste like.
Its called Asana/Asaana. Its like a natural cola or root beer. It was really nice when cold!
Oh you switched it up this year - Ghana is a nice choice.
ha yes. well i wouldve been in JA now but theres the lockdown now sadly
That KuliKuli looks so good.
Some of the street foods were wrongly named, you had roasted plantains not baked plantains and you also had peanut (nkate cake)cakes and not kuli kuli
Cool video. Thanks for sharing. Question. Did you stay in contact with anyone there? I saw something I want to purchase in the market.
O my O my, it is so Amazing
Yes accra is amazing
You are inspiring me to visit!
You should! wont regret it
I can't wait to be in Ghana come July for 7 weeks, I want to go to Jamaica as well.
What I love most of all is your photography, you do this all on your phone?
Yeh iphone or gopro
Welcome to your motherland The promise land The gateway to Africa black stars Ghana 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭✊
love my people..
same!
@RiriTravels i couldnt get over how similar it was to Jamaica. You should def visit Kenya too. People are always surprised when i tell them that kenya feels so much like Jamaica
Id love to visit Kenya and that side of east Africa one day!
@@RiazPhillips I hear a british accent. Are you jamaican jamaican or do you have jmcn parentage?
Hello Riri, what time of the year did you go to Ghana. Agree with you, went there a few years ago and I loved it. Had plans to return there this May 2020; but with virus its no go. We have left our deposits with Airline etc and hopefully we can arange another date. Good luck with your ventures. Peace
I was there in late february. December and January are too expensive! I already had plans to return in May as the flights were relatively cheap but same I had to postpone
@@RiazPhillips Thanks you. I am from JA livinging in UK, pity I missed so much living in another country. Good for you to be doing instead of pondering. Good luck with your next stop.Peace
Nice one love you frome ghana
Thanks for watching!!
I'm just about done with all of your videos. I love the culture
Ah thanks for watching them! Really appreciate it
You're welcome! Can't wait for more
The Hustle is real
I was looking hard for the Jamaican flag which is usually prominently displayed in Ghana's market scenes. Didn't see one, but at 3:45 "you're from Jamaica, welcome" handshake. Many of our less informed try to distance themselves from Africa, but from my observation, Africans always express love for us, their kin.
Ghana is so much like Jamaica, but without the guns and political tribalism. I beg for those days to return.
U would normally see the jamaican flag in Kumasi among the Ashantis. Jamaican flags are very common in the Ashanti region on the backs of cars. Ashantis also have their flag that has similar color as Jamaican flag too
Ah if the flag isnt in this one you will def see it in some of my other ghana videos!
I enjoyed traveling with you 🌍
Glad you enjoyed!! Like your gardening videos!
@@RiazPhillips I'm just now seeing this as I'm watching your video for the second time. Thank you!
Welcome to Ghana
Thank you
I got it, thanks😊❤
Nice video 👌👍
Thanks
At least it's CLEANER than Wuhan.
ha ok
Hi brother, im in haiti righ now and I'd like to visit Ghana soon. Please, can you tell me the stopover from Jamaica to Ghana. Thank you 👍

i wish you would talk to the people more, more verbal thx for taking me to ghana respect
Ok thanks! Next time!
❤️❤️❤️❤️👌👌
Damn it Jamaicans are really Ghanaian .
Ha yes! Thats why I made the video comparing the two places
Some of us 🇯🇲 jamaican Need fie know our History or do Some research
African women are so majestic and beautiful
True. and strong as well
WHY IS THE GUY SAYING THE HEAT,JAMAICA HAVE ALOT OF HEAT AND THEY EAT THE SAME FOOD,JUST THE PREPATION IS ALIT BIT DIFFERENT
All Africans in the diaspora better come back home and establish,you have nothing to lose,you will still have access to land in the diaspora while living the dream in Africa,Mama Africa wants you back
True!
That’s what I’m about to do tho back to my mother land love you all .
Just can't handle watching the eating with the hands; especially in public. I can't even eat a slice of pizza without knife and fork.
Africans are not lazy--thank God there is no welfare system there. Africans have entrepreneurial spirit--they always have something to do.
True!
Did you ask permission to all of these people before taking this video?
