- Why Ghana is so rich?
Ghana is one of Africa’s rising stars, the country doesn’t fall far behind the big economic players on the continent like Nigeria, South Africa, and Morocco and it is the only African country whose entertainment industry is giving Nigeria a run for its money. Ghana is a beautiful West African state situated in the center of the Gold Coast of Africa, with a population of over 31 million people, and has a 535-km-long shoreline that includes breathtaking lagoons and lush mangrove forests.
The country’s tropical climate varies from a Sudanian-type climate in the north with a short rainy season to the high rainfall regime of the forested Guinean and Guinea-congolian Regions in the southwest.
Ghana has become one of the richest countries in Africa because of its numerous economic activities and its ability to attract foreign investors to come and invest heavily in the country. Ghana has thrived especially in sectors of Agriculture, Mines, and Tourism. In this video, we are going to take a deep dive into the different reasons why Ghana is so rich.

Ghanaians are learning how to hype their Country; unfortunately, in the process hype out a joke out of themselves, hahaha!
Ghana is rich😂😂😂😂😂Am gonna stop taking Africans serious no
So in that context,we can call any country rich
I'm a Ghanaian Africa is rich but our leaders are foolish 😂😂😂😂
I agree. It does not say Ghana is the richest. One of the richest does not mean richest.
Ghana is so rich but our leaders have not had the wisdom to harness it for the benefit of its people and that’s a shame.
Leaders is the problem
Sometimes if you see the structures in East Legon .... Wealth in the country is amassed by our leaders
@@roygarbutt829 the leaders come from the people . The problem is the system . We change leaders every fours but does nothing to the system which is the software the whole country is run on. It’s easy to say the problem is leaders but for me “our leaders are a true reflection of who we are as a people” until the voters clout for a serious change of the whole governance system it will take forever . Politicians won’t change cos the current system benefit them . It all starts with the voters(the people)
is it true? I heard that president of Ghana is one of the best in Africa, if not the best
@@bowser3017 lies
I have been to Ghana 🇬🇭, I lived and worked there. The majority of the people are NOT RICH. most resources leave Ghana and make others rich.
V Norm - So true. Sadly, so many people are pleased to point out how rich in natural resources Ghana is, even it benefits everyone else but them and other Africa. Make it make sense.
That goes for all African countries
@@charlesscott4722 - Absolutely.
Eritrea 🇪🇷 has freed itself from the West, and Mali 🇲🇱 and Ethiopia 🇪🇹 has just freed themselves also. InshaAllah this is a trend and more will do the same.
A big yes
Every African nation is rich. They just need good leadership.
Not true! When your population is just 2M you are not rich. Not when you are in a desert. The real rich countries have water and pasture in abundance like in Europe and America!
@@kocc7966 Bro what do u mean I don’t understand
@@akosuadiamond2731 We are mislead by this idea that minerals are riches of a country. Not true! To get to those minerals, you need technology. That technology can only come from education. Education requires investment on people and investment on infrastructures. In other words, you need a government with big resources to educate the children in science and tech and at the same time build big projects that will employ those educated.
However, when you have a small population, you can't gather enough fund to build big projects. When you can't feed your children because you have drought and poor soil, your main goal is not big projects but food safety.
Agriculture is really the gateway to progress. When people are fed, they can think and research. Europe and America have the most important natural resources: water, fertile soils and they are able spend their time on education.
For example, do you know why Ghana or Ivory Coast are richer than Mali or Senegal? Look at their Agriculture and population! And you know Mali has gold, uranium and many other minerals, but it is a barren land, underpopulated.
Even Nigeria's power is because of population size and Agriculture.
@@kocc7966 OMG u answered this so maturely unlike some people 😔 TY for clearing up what u said!!.😃
@@akosuadiamond2731 Indeed I should have elaborated more.
It’s about time we the youth of Ghana (Africa)raise up to hold our leaders to account .
Ghana just tal talk talk bla bla nothing more
Love from Poland to Ghana ❤❤❤
Yes we're rich with regards to mineral resources but currently bankrupt with no clues to what the future holds.

With hard work Ghana is on a path to becoming a great power economically and politically. All the dreams of Ghanaians can be achieved with better governments that put the natives and residents first in future which is what all of Africa should do to put Africans out of poverty. Well done Ghana.
Which hardwork? You can prosper from hardwork when politicians and relatives constantly loot the nation's wealth.
Put Africans first

What was the value of all those natural resources last year?
Yes

Thank you, this was very informative.

Ghana is rich in mineral resources but "poorly" poor when it comes to leaderships! Our resources are feeding other continents but Africans are hungry, jobless, and deprived beyond measures...I pray one day LEADERSHIPS will turn to the RIGHT YOUTHS and no more the old men.
In America we are told ghana is the safest country in Africa with the best leadership and the least corruption and a thriving economy one of the fastest growing in the world is this not true
@@elvangulley3210 it’s a lie. For safety, we are the best. And no wars here.
@Elvan Gulley Democracy is killing us. We could have a great leader for only 8years term in office and then the next is a corrupt baboon like the current one we have now. Ghana is safe, YES but struggling a lot. The government has created a bureaucratic system of governance that makes it impossible for transparency and accountability.
@@elvangulley3210 That's 💯 % true. Those who are saying it's not true have not lived in other African countries. They only try to compare Ghana to European, American and other well developed Asian countries. Ghana started its latest development only about 22 years ago and the results are clear. The country has changed completely. If you look very carefully, the hardships on Ghanaians is self influenced, largely caused by the people themselves and not the government. A large number of people have moved into the main cities where there's no job opportunities for them instead of staying in the rural areas where farming, fishing, gold mining and other means of employment can easily be found. This has created a large number of unemployed workers and thus created an imbalance of the economy. Most of the people think the sales of the raw natural resources in the country should automatically bring money into their pockets without a job. A purely African way of thinking.
@@elvangulley3210 Within Africa, most of that is true, but that's not saying much when you look at the rest of Africa. On a global stage all of that means nothing. It's time for Ghana to stop being satisfied with mediocrity and actually be better.
WELL DONE
God has really blessed Ghana 🇬🇭 …. and am soo proud to announce am a GHANAIAN..🇬🇭I really love my country, I was born in Ghana and grew up in abroad well to my knowledge Ghana has really come far , and woow really proud of my country… All love to our president Nana A addo. Best president ever… more vim ..
As relating to natural resources;historic sites; social and political stability with a few great exports of the most beautiful minds from Africa; Ghana is still far behind to realize it's full potentials as the eyes and heartbeat of Africa...I understand per capital income;GDP and production statistics we are still babes as much as many African countries rich in natural resources
I am proud being a Ghanaian
BRAVO
The New Tourist, a job well done!
Looks clean
May God continue bless you Ghana and make you richer than ever Amen
5:32 Colonized for 2000 years?
Aside from a few coastal Forts, occupation of the area that is today Ghana was essentially 60 years. (1896 - 1957)
Lol that's what I'm saying. Colonialism didn't last in most African countries for more than 60 years. A lot of people lived to see it start and decline.
RICH 🎩IN RESOURCES ✊🏾
Ghana:my congrats...👍👍👍
Ghana love💘 Nigeria 🇳🇬please 🙏
It looks really nice
It is
Its interesting how you failed to mention their huge electronic pollution so they can sell copper from the wires. There are shantytowns filled with electronic waste dumpsites where they work
I'm hearing it for the first time that Ghana is so rich 🤓
Same as me Hahaha.
That is the reason the area now called Ghana was once called the Gold Coast and it is the reason Ghana is the number one producer of Gold on the continent of Africa.
@@jakebaba2149 the Nigeria is called oil coast 😂.. Gold Coast but you have the most debt In Africans.. a country of 30 million ☹️💀

We are a growing economy so much opportunities are available to us to become a robust economy. We are rich as every Africa country in relation to resources
Resources but not leaders who make use of the resources.
which resource you mean the E-levy?
Ghana is a great our people love visitors
Can I please have some of what you were smoking when you made this video......???
Ghana is the best country in Africa by far!
Notice the people suffer while the elites get richer. Ghana isnt rich. the elites of Ghana are rich.
Am Nigerian🇳🇬🇳🇬and I believe ghana is the richest country in africa but with good Gov't policies and good president like the akufo addo they can go far.
ma guy shut your mouth der in Nigeria...you know nothing about our current presidential traitor...shut up and let real ghanaians tell you
Who owns the mining companies in Ghana for example Asante Gold is Canadian so I doubt that Ghana gains anything. Mining companies the world over are notorious for exporting at a loss to avoid paying tax.
Ghana rich
Ghana is making Africa look good and I am proud of what's going on in that great country. I am proud of our senior brother President Nana Akufo-Addo for all he has been doing for this beacon of hope for Africa.
I think you're beating about the bush as to the initial firing rockets of the engine of Ghana's economy. It is " Flight Lieutenant Jerry Rawlings." This great man worked tirelessly on the extermination of corruption. I think it is being ungrateful not including him in the conversation of Ghana's successes. Then came great leaders that continued to ensure good government.
Thanks for the video.

Ghana started in central region first capital city in Ghana is( Gold Coast) in central region,after independence they changed it to ghana meaning,God, has, appointed, Nkrumah, already
Oil and gas capital takoradi Western region,Ahanta land
The country may be rich like any other African country but the problem has to do with leadership and good governance.
Ghana and Nigeria lead west Africa in terms of economy and wealth it can only go up from here to my Ghanaians out the countries that are most likely to be west Africa superpowers in terms of economy and cultural hobs are ghana and Nigeria can not wait to see the future
Leading West Africa is nothing to be proud of since West Africa is the poorest region in Africa
I was bron in Ghana
It may be rich but as with many other countries,this wealth does not seem to have benifited the very poor.I have made 6 visits and am about to make my seventh in June and I continue to be appalled by the poor conditions under which many of the people live.The boom in real estate has not changed their lives and many still lack basic amenities such as a toilet and running water.The presence of expensive mega churches in poor neighborhoods is also disturbing.and only seem to enrich the various pastors,apostles prophets and bishops.Marx was right.Religion is the opium of the people .Ilove Ghana and Ihope that it prospers.To be honest,I see similar problems in my native country Jamaica but that is a discussion for another time.
That is story of a lot of African countries continue to travel around Africa and you will find same story in most societies. We've long way to go
Thank you for this honest reply. As a born and bred Ghanaian, this video feels more like a pitch from our foreign ministry to foreign investors than an actual discussion of our wealth.
If you compare Ghana to other African countries ; including your own Jamaica Ghana is doing very well; the comparison is not with Western countries; it may come to a shock to you; but majority of Americans are poor who live pay check to paycheck.
5:39 over the last 2000years I don't think so just the 500years
We are rich in peace
Let's think about African

Ghana was “Colonized over the last 2000 years”?
That’s quite an unforgivable blunder coming from a historian.
Ghanaian colonization was from 1831 (Southernmost area) / 1901 (all of Ghana) - 1957
Nice video overall!
You know it comes from a westerner. Expect anything!
As of 2021 top 10 African countries ranked by GDP Ghana is ranked 9th richest in Africa. Still a rising star in Africa.
Is true gh is rich more rich no lie we have money
Which Ghana is he talking about; the one where sick patients sleep on cardboard sheets, the one where road accidents are no news and civil servant payments are over six months in arrears? Good trial but propaganda will no provide hospital beds, nor will it fix the roads.
Are you serious you compare Ghana onto the us be proud even in the us there are people on the street sick and poor they have to pay for health insurance be happy ghanian don’t have to pay Ghana has the best healthcare sistem in west Africa have you gone outside? Please stop talking
@@estherkanga6684 - Where in his/her comment did she mention the United States? What are you talking about. I’m not even Ghanaian and I know that what he/she mentioned are issues in Ghana. In the U.S., in the case of emergency care/urgent care, you cannot be denied treatment because of you don’t have health insurance, which is available to poor people.
@@MrOu83 am just saying that he shouldn’t judge the president because there are some countries that are even worse than ghana
@@estherkanga6684 - He pointed out some of the realities of life in Ghana. If the president is responsible for correcting those issues and he has not done so, he, along with parliament and other leaders, is responsible for that. No president (prime minister) is beyond reproach.
Just because there are other countries that are worse off than Ghana does not mean Ghana should pat itself on the back, turn a blind eye and be satisfied with not being as bad as some other nations. That is a very low bar that no country should aspire to.
@@MrOu83 thank you for articulating my viewpoints loudly and clearly. Esther forgets that I have the right to express my views, which may not necessarily agree with hers.

The meaning of the word rich has a new meaning, lmfao. Anyway, thank you for a government of Ghana promotional video.
The United States is soo rich, i mean filty rich yet we have very poor people in the U.S as well,so ghana could be rich but if the fiscal,economic is not managed well th then it's people will not enjoy the riches.Yes Ghana is rich but do we see this in our society??no
Ghana is rich as the President said and with good governance, we can make good use of our resources. The trouble we have now is the current opposition party that seeks to destroy the image of Ghana to the outside world for its political gain which is very stupid. Because if by destroying the image of your country to foreign investors then when coming to power how will then encourage the investor to come because you are in power.
The leaders are not rich in thinking so in an actual fact we are rich but we look very poor
Very rich in mineral resources but still very poor cost of living is very high
1 dollar is about 7 cedis now gee
Ghana is the gold coast and not situated in the middle of the gold coast. We had so much gold when it rains gold falls from the skies to be picked up, gold were found on the sea sand and rivers. We didn't have to dig deep for gold and that is the name gold coast
So Ghana is who emptied Equatorial Guinea’s Coco farms? Washington has an old chocolate Fabric that mainly depended on Ghana and Equatorial Guinea Agricultural goods.

Ghana was not colonized for 2000 years. Colonization in Ghana started in the late 19th century. The bond of 1844 gave the British control only over states along the coast. Ashanti was defeated by the British Britis around 1889.
Yes, Ghana is so rich that some school children lie on their bellies to read and write in schools because the government can not provide furnitures for the school. It is also so rich that it can't build make shift bridges and some students have to walk in a river to get to school and wear the wet uniforms in school the whole day. This is how rich Ghana is.
