I did not get to watch this live but I did watch today and felt I had to respond to the critic by the person who said this group was 'opportunistic' and only trying to take advantage of people. NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER from the truth! I do my vetting and when I first started considering a trip to Ghana, this was a channel I happened upon. Both my husband and I appreciated the specific details about travel and the honesty. When we actually had a plan to travel, it was Tony I reached out to. I will share that I was still a bit anxious (taking his caution that in Ghana people say not to trust anyone completely:-) but as my plan progressed and then came to fruition, I learned more about this group, the company and the people in it. We spent our first day in Ghana with Mr. Ben who escorted us to church, took us for a brief tour of Accra, took us to one of the few market stalls open on Sunday and took us to a beach hotel for a restroom break and a brief visit at the beach. THIS WAS FANTASTIC!!! He was extremely kind, personable and reassuring. We shared some of what we knew or had learned in other travels and he helped us make the connection to the experiences of life in Accra and Tema. It was a FANTASTIC first day! So -- just let me reiterate what others have said -- Expat Life Ghana is trustworthy and reliable and any suggestion to the contrary is a falsehood. Second, I would say that Tony and Ayo, on this channel, have been extremely honest about sharing their lived experience - which makes them an expert in their lived experience! Will everyone have the same experience? No. But everyone comes with their own set of baggage and preconceived ideas, and financial constraints (or not) and expectations from a country that may be extremely unrealistic. I had not been to the continent but I have traveled in the Caribbean quite often and have learned the difference between a 'tourist mentality' and a 'local mentality'. Tony and Ayo have stressed the difference between the two which is extremely important! Third, I would like to emphasize strongly something that Tony says often but it will sound strange coming from me -- a white Italian-American woman. I traveled to Ghana with my husband (who is African American) for the first time last August. I was concerned about how I would be received and I was concerned about how WE would be received (as a couple). I was reassured by people on the facebook page that in Ghana we would be accepted for the most part (although we would both be foreigners in the country). This was true. The only people I found challenging were some of the other people from the U.S. we encountered during our travels. I would also like to say that after I got over my travel anxiety (which I get no matter where I travel), I felt COMPLETELY at home in the country. Was it 'just like home'? No. But I will say that the feeling that Tony describes is exactly how I felt even though as a white person I was really not entitled to feel that way. When we got off the plane, my husband was greeted by a Ghanaian with "Welcome Home" -- he has shared that story numerous times because he DID feel like he was home in so many ways even though, yes, we were definitely foreigners! We didn't take anything for granted - we were guests in a country - we tried to always be respectful and patient and express thanks for any assistance we were provided. I learned a small amount of Twi to be able to say a few things if I needed to -- the most important being Medaase - thank you. The ONLY concern we had was access to good health care -- we weren't concerned about getting appointments with qualified people, but we were concerned with emergency treatment as we both have underlying health issues. Watching the traffic jams in Accra did not reassure us that we would make it a hospital quickly and hearing about ERs we had concerns about receiving proper treatment quickly. Other than that, we would have done a deep dive into at least a semi-permanent opportunity to live somewhere away from the daily stress oif U.S. political and social issues. I will take this opportunity to thank Tony and Ayo for helping us on our journey and for enriching the experience for us! We may not be moving, but we are hopeful for a return to Ghana in the near future!!

I hope that Ghana continues to grow. But, I have no interest in moving back.

Hello, You guys never talk about the large slums in Ghana.

Tony & Ayo can you post another video on the cost of living in Tema, Ghana. You posted one 5 years ago, however, I understand it’s gotten more expensive since then

Tony I will be in Ghana later this month for 3 months.

Will be there August through late.November needs a place to stay for 3and1/ 2months🇻🇮🇻🇬🇬🇭⛱️

If one looks up where America ranks in the most dangerous/violent/dangerous countries, it may just shock you. The ranking is extremely high sadly compared to other countries including the mother land.

Ghana once worked until the soldiers came to taste politics and Ghana has been toast ever since. These days, opportunistic lazy minds have taken over politics. Unfortunately, everything has gone south with Ghana. We have no leaders. Our leaders are doing the bidding of the West to keep Africa stalled.

Thanks for sharing!😊

There's definitely neighborhoods in the US with cages on ac units lol. The exact same things you see in developing nations can absolutely be found here

Can u join if ur already there?

Hi Calvin: I am Gertie and is responding to your message. I would love to know how we are related . Your living appears exciting. Thanks for contacting me.

Do you all fly to the park? It’s far from Accra.

Watching from Texas USA

There's always opportunity for those who dare. 45yrs in America, you can't pay me a billion dollars to go back there. Enjoyed my time but the future is elsewhere, certainly not America.

"You speak so well" The lady on the clip indicated she used to be a teacher and knows "bad" English has no color so perhaps can say the lady saying that your son speaks "so proper " didn't mean it in a racial context

It's not hate, it's sheer jealousy!🤕🤕😲

I'm left handed and I've never had to apologize.

I will be in Ghana in August 2024. I planned to make initial arrangements to move to Ghana, but I do not believe Ghana wants the Expats in Ghana. They are making everything so difficult! This includes the leasing of land rather than being able to purchase. Why move from the US to Ghana and be treated as a foreigner? Might as well buy more property in the US. The immigration process is insurmountable.

What 0:41 excellent perspective & information & feedback from both of you. Thank you

Ghana was established in 1957. NATO launched a coup to oust the first president for his Pan Africanist views, pushed the nation into military rule & coups. J Rawlings in 1996 decided to set Ghana right and it has paid off but the colonial struggles are still there and issues with governance too. I'm not Ghanaian but I respect their poise.

Ghana is being taken over by the Chinese. In fact, the greedy ghana government is allowing the Chinese to buy what they want. As such, the people are suffering because the Chinese is there for a profit and only taking care of their own. Not interested in living in Ghana.

It's hard times wherever u go,so u just have to make sure u have an income,learn to adapt,there's coming a time when ghana and anywhere will be better than those big countries that u have ongoing light,running water tru taps,we will soon be saying we wish we had gone to ghana or africa,ghana is not the only African country that's not well developed ❤

I don’t know what it is but it’s actually some Ghanaians who run Ghana down without comparing like for like. They seem to think Ghana is the worse place ever and it’s just not true.

The only thing that surprised me about Egypt is 99% of Sub-Saharan African women are prostitutes. I was shocked. Although i never get mistaken for an African. I went into the police station to show my passport. And into a bank and open accounts to verify my income. Now, there's not a chance i will be mistaken for African or a h00ker. Same in Dubai, they have a bad global reputation i am not tying myself to based on skin color politics.

I've been in N. Africa 2 years on cruise control. There is nobody trying me or trying to swindle me. I'm relaxed and stress free. They tell you when and how long power will be out.😊

Ghana is peaceful.

Ayo is special. Full of humor and common sense.

Majority of the countries I’ve been that has markets will price gauge with a foreigner. They see All foreigners as a come up for the day. We don’t know how to navigate the system and they take advantage. Just like the same 2 liter soda will cost differently at different stores in the states but you buy it anyway.

Sure ghana is not eazy, but its still worth it! It takes time to have your right people around you but ghana is great!

I was literally told they think the black people live like The Housewives of Atlanta. All I could do was laugh. If you know, you know.

I met Chuck at a restaurant last year. Glad to see he returned He can be an ambassador for African Americans linking back😊😊

No. It’s government is under western influence, still a slave to IMF which equates to stagnant growth.

Tony I live in Stafford surrounded by Indians I’m virtually holed up in the house .. you say hello and get walked past like U R a piece of stone then when they need some help they come knocking…

My college son born and bred in TX working in the NY/NJ area in a corporate job has be literally told to cut off the “yes sir” “no sir”… if it happens to the unsophisticated black person “African or American “ in ghana or any African country it will be seen differently

I was price gauged in TX buying a house through a black lady real estate agent she was as incompetent as they come …those in US jails for breaking into homes flew into the US from Ghana and the corruption is small town or even some big city police departments in US towns is outrageous

I wonder why they don't do like this other country that built this system to burn the garage and from the heat, it keeps the lights on, and then they took the ash , and some how used it to make these bricks. I'm building in Ghana, but while I'm still here, I just got a rent increase of over $200.00. definitely worth it. Go to the grocery store and every other week, the prices are sneaking up.

So are you two Freemasons? Tony mentions the Lodge

I am a Ghanaian living in the States. I don't blame Kwame for criticizing Ghana. I used to feel that way a typical and an average Ghanaian don't see what's happening to Ghana as far as tourism and infrastructure, even if they do, because it doesn't benefit them , they don't really care unfortunately

The Ghanaian government has a $2 billion partnership with South Korea to improve the grid. I think Ghana is going solar. And also Elon Musk also has partners with Ghana to extend interlink satellite internet to Ghana, which is currently in operation. I am ordering one now from Amazon to my house in Ghana. The speed is amazing. You guys should consider that option

Im a Ghanaian American. 30yrs in the USA. just return from a vacatio in Ghana this February. For no reason I've been depressed since. My mind reflects always back on Ghana. I'm well established in the USA. Owns 4 multi family rental properties ,fully paid off. Runs my own electronics service shop. I need help with my depression.

Hey yall

I love Ghana.

I'm an expat and the people of Ghana are following the example of the politicians. The government keeps increasing the price of things connected to the coming of the diaspora, like the Visa and fees for extending your stay. They are even trying to force some ridiculous mandatory public insurance on visitors. Anything to pull in foreign currency prices without the infrastructure or quality. The Ghanaian people also suffer and have learned grift from the government. As far as the lack of customer service is concerned, that is tied to a lack of proper training and apathy/anger at low pay or no pay. I was shocked to learn that some companies have withheld payment from employees for "months"‼️😮 ... You know that could never happen in the states because people would riot. But Ghanaians employee like nurses and even store employees have experienced working for no pay. Like the hosts say, you have yo be built for Ghana, it's not for the weak.

You doing a great job for Ghana am so proud of you. Greetings from New Jersey

Tony Ghanaians are destroying their own country and not the government in power

Tony is correct outsiders are going to see the niche and take over. That comment was so insulting you guys are not even on You tube that much, and certainly don't come across in that manner. Your content is greatly appreciated.

I’m really looking forward to visiting

She's running that relationship. 😂😂😂

So I love you guys but 😮...So yall take separate vacations???? Are yall really together or do yall have a business relationship 😅😅. Just kidding 😂..but separate vacations.
