I really loved all the beautiful things you are doing in our lovely country Ghana. ❤🙏🙏
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much 😊
Been living in Ghana all my life and I can tell you... Ghana is not for the faint hearted.! I'm still here because an engineer with 7 years of work experience cannot afford to own a home,afford a new car etc. Broken dreams and people is what Ghana can do to you. Like she said in 10:15. It's about who you know rather than what you know.One step forward,10 steps back! Reality of Ghanaians living in Ghana. Not all of us want to or can afford to migrate so how about working to make things easier for ourselves on the political level. It's a general problem with West Africa anyway.
Ghana is a good travel destination anyway and that's just it.
The introduction alone😂😂😂
🙈🙈🙈
But that is the same with every place you choose to go. You have to plan. You just can't jump into things without doing your research.
Planning is soo important!
I wonder
Waaaw

What would it take to build the needed infrastructure to "get the stuff" quickly?
But she sounds more ghanaian than a south African..
She is Ghanaian born and lived in SA for some time
The credit system in why SA has the highest rate of unemployment rate in Africa and why SA can’t solve its dumsor issues
I disagree. Millions of foreigners work in SA. It's very easy to get a job in SA anytime if u prepared for low paying job according to SA levels.
@@mzerk9324 it’s the same way many foreigners work in Ghana and it’s easy to get a low paying job and that’s the case everywhere in the world, but i spoke to facts so you can go check, SA has unemployment rate of 31%
@@kwamescratch6727 do you know the unemployment rate in your home country Ghana? what is the percentage of households in Ghana with access to electricity?
@@dokotelam7207 infact if you don’t know how electricity coverage is more than SA go check, you have a phone that you can easily verify issues so know before you come challenging lazy SA citizens
@@kwamescratch6727 Then why more migrants come to South Africa especially from African countries than South Africans who move to their countries? Again the living standard of South Africa is way better than in Ghana. For a fact Black South African middle class is the second group of Black middle class in the world after African Americans, so i dont understand why are you saying we are lazy. The thing about South Africans is that we are not lazy we dont just want to work slavery jobs like these African migrants who move here. Again why Ghanians move to South Africa compare to a number of South Africans moving there, i dont even think Ghana is one of the place they think of relocating to. In my country we have free access to housing, social grants and education reason you wont see any South African child not attending school. South Africans of all races build our country they way it is now, your country is the first to gain indepence but its not even on top 5 wealthiest and developed in Africa, Accra to us is in the standard of a small town in South Africa.
Why do most Ghanaians who move to other countries end up having identity crises?, I do not know whether is common in Ghanaian or even other citizens of other countries end up having identity crisis ?, if she claim her Ghanaian root then confusing end, I follow South African CZcamsr with UK citizenship however I do not think she view herself as British, on youtube she general identify herself as South African, the reality is that UK will never be her real home, she will always feel like foreigner, if she do bad in UK they will refer her as south African migrant, even Elon Musk do experience that, do you think many Ghanaian in diaspora are proud for been Ghanaian ?
I don't know why they are not proud. we AA wish we knew who we are. I would be proud to say iam ghanaian or any other african country.
We are most definitely proud Ghanaians, we just have dual citizenship and thus options, the problem is being an immigrant in the place you consider home. Like my father in-law said, we are a lost generation, think about it, do you have any idea what it’s like to be told by your mates all your life that you shouldn’t forget that you are a foreigner. The “identity crisis” starts when you realize that you are not Ghanaian, South African or Swazi in my case but a Global Citizen. Some may see this as a handicap we see it as an advantage because we can live anywhere in the world and thrive
@@paaniiquaynor70 global citizens is just another myth, I do not think if I migrate to ghana from SA and live in ghana for 30 will ever be Ghanaian enough in 30 years, the reason for that is that my root will always be in SA because all my external family are in SA, it does not matter whether you did move with your close relative, you have chance to go back to SA anytime, which real Ghananian do not have, the guest of today episode went back home to ghana and South African like me we do not that option, elon musk mom spend over 30 years in SA and still went home to Canada, in SA during the holidays , many South African still move from big cities to their root, home, when they die, they buried in home not big cities most of them,
I believe that problems arise when people move to new countries and don't feel proud about their original, real country, if I'm botswana and move to Togo, it will be easy for me if I'm proud of botswana side because in Togo, I will always be different, the only similar thing will be skin color
I don’t think it’s not being proud about where their from it’s more not being accepted that’s what we were discussing
Like myself for example I was born And raised in Uk so I am British but I know my roots I am Ghanaian
But when I come to ghana I am not classed as Ghanaian I’m classed as British
When you have dual citizenship it’s not an identity crisis it’s the society and environment your in that treat you a certain way to make you feel that you actually not from here just because you sound different which is the essence of the whole series to explain to people that we are all Ghanaian even if we don’t sound or look like your traditional Ghanaian
Hope that helps a bit , thank you soo much for watching really appreciate your time 🙏🏾
Do Ghanaian really eat dog 🥩?
I get outraged when I hear you guys say the market women charge you a little more than the locals .. that's a palpable false and misconstruing. Bargaining power is what you have to possess to live in Africa. The fact that a price was mentioned and you didn't bargain doesn't mean u were cheated. The same way guys from down Africa get shocked why they can't bargain in Europe and other parts of the world.
But why are you outraged though? My experience had nothing to do with bargaining power. I went to the market in Dome, carrying my then 7 month old son. Got to the avocado lady, greeted her in twi, she even called me “obroni mami” (because my son is light skinned). I asked her how much the avocado was and she told me 15ghc for one. I asked her to give it to me for 10ghc she said no. We eventually settled on 12ghc. When I got back to the car my husband said I should have used the word “pear” and not avocado. Long story short when he went back and asked the lady how much the pear was, she told him 8ghc.
She gave me a higher starting price before we even started bargaining.
And yes, it may be that when you travel as a tourist in different parts of the world, they do the same but I was sharing my experience of what happened to me here. From then I was told to always go with someone to the market until I learnt how much prices of things really are so I don’t negotiate blindly.
Again this is not something to be outraged about. It is something that happened to me that I am sharing.
@Victoria Asante I guess the person feelings were hurt. It made it seem that everyone was scheming to make a dollar.
There’s no need for your outrange
There’s a difference between bargaining and judging an individual on their looks
If a person knows the worth of a product but you see someone who you assume has enough money to your judgement and you quadruple the price it is not bargaining that is needed because clearly that individual is trying to make extra money off you which is not genuine which is sadly the terrible mindset of some of the people in not just ghana but Africa!! It’s a character flaw so if you’re outraged by this reality some of us experience im rather confused
@@MzDruTV what are you doing in Ghana, with all the good things you claimed to be enjoying here in the UK? If you are not trying to also get the best out of Ghana? Everyone is literally trying to make the best out of any opportunity in this world and you do not fault them either. What am I doing here in the UK with this cold weather If i am also not trying to make the best out of here?...clearly all of us one way or the order seeks the same purpose. Also that is not something peculiar to foreigners alone it does happen to the locals too. There's a local slang everyone knows find out what's the meaning of "kwasea ba dwaso da biaa. Afei wo sika hye obi botom agye se wani bre. Get a proper Ghanaian to translate it for you
