As Black American woman I notice that African men are straight forward about their feelings which are different from American men. It can take long before they really know how they feel. So when I met my Ghanaian Husband it was a cultural shock about how he didn't play about he's feelings about and he wanted me all to himself. I had to learn that also about the left hand my husband had shown me because I'm Left handed I do everything with it . For I used right for #2 not my left 🤦🏾‍♀️. This was hard for me to learn. Ghanaians are nice and very friendly. I went shopping at local stores myself and I felt safe and felt at peace. Ghana is now my second 🥈 home Welcome me .

[@nanapinkra]

A Ghanaian who grew up in Ghana but currently live in the states here 🤚🏿. I love it when content creators or tourists have an open mind and immerse themselves in the places they visit. First time here and i subscribed. Sorry for the long text ❤🤒 1. About the billbords: You're even lucky you didn't visit next year, which is an election year. The billboards are crazy nuisances which needs better regulation. 2. The left hand: Culturally, using the left hand doesn't show respect. I don't know where that came from but as a child i had school mates who were taught to use their right hand even if you're left handed. You'll have to apologize when you use the left. So being out of Ghana for years i always need to restrain myself from apologizing for that. It isn't as bad for the younger ones as it was for my generation. I'm a millennial. 3. The twi language is the main language of the Akan ethnic group or tribe, who are about 70% of the population of Ghana. And the main occupants of 8 to 9 out of the 16 regions. So it's kinda our lingua franca. I've been to some very remote non Akan places and they still can speak Twi or at least understand when you speak it. The Asantis are a subset of the Akan ethnic group. So example of you traveled by road from Accra to Kumasi. As soon as you left the greater accra you started the tour of the Akan regions till you go to Asante region. There are variants of Twi though. 4. Saying please is part of us. You're taught to even say please when you greet as you said. The Akuapims (another subset of the Akan tribe in the eastern region) a groomed to even say please before they insult or diss someone. It's part of us pr a stereotype 😂. It's those things that make us laid back and oit of trouble because the level of politeness is too much. 😂😂 4. Religion: We are mostly Christian, I think the last census put Christians at around 68% or so. But we are very accommodating of various religions and ethnic groups. That's one thing I'm super proud of Ghanaians for. I think the boarding school culture from high school inculcated that in us. 5. Funerals di3 don't go there ooo. Please we the asantis and Akans will renovate our family houses when someone dies so the house will be nice for visitors. We commemorate the One Week of the person's demise, a weekend of funeral, 40days and 1year. It's an Akan thing and the other tribes also have something similar but fortunately not as flamboyant 😂. There used to be wake keeping the night before the burial but our chiefs thankfully canceled those.

[@VictorineBihTakwe]

Thank you for taking time out to explain all of these. I laughed when you said people will say please before insulting you😂😂😂

[@brightatabeso583]

I know the Akans are many, but 70% is too much...😂

[@nanapinkra]

@@brightatabeso583 Hi Bright 😁 🫡. I don't know if you're in Ghana or Ghanaian. I'm open for corrections anytime on the percentage of the Akan population in Ghana. Akans include Akyems, Akuapims, Asantes, Guans, Akwamus, Bonos, Ahafos, Kwahus, Nzemas, Fantes, Ahantas, Sekyeres and others that do not come to my mind now. All of these tribes are occupants of the Eastern, Ashanti, Bono, Ahafo, Central, Western, Western North, some parts of Oti regions. So yea they could make up about 70% of the population of the country. But pls teach us if I'm wrong I'm always happy to learn especially about cultures and my own at that and I think that's the essence of the video and my comment. Thanks.

[@Churchgirl_Fiona]

I love Ghana! My stay there was so memorable. A really beautiful nation with very nice peaceful people. I also loved the aura- to me it gave off “Christian nation”. I also didn’t witness the lefthand thing. Or maybe because I was a foreigner they gave me a free pass. One of my fav dishes there was Kontumreh (i’m not sure if i spelt that right). They even taught me how to cook it & I did when i returned to my country 😄 Overall Ghana is one country I could gracefully settle in. The Akwaaba vibe was 💯 %

The left hand is reserved for picking dirty stuff and washing and wiping your unclean parts. It is seen as a sign of disrespect to use that hand to extend anything to anyone. If the right hand is occupied and the left is the only hand free, you have to apologise by saying "sorry for the left" in the process of handing out anything with your left.

Regarding religion in Ghana, everyone respects each other's religion. Christian's, muslims and traditionalists respect each other. And in actual fact, we live as one. For example if there is a national events, all religions are given the opportunity to pray to whatever higher power they believe in before the program commences.

[@TWUMKWAME5]

In the Ghana Constitution, you can practice any religion you want, with no religion being superior to the other.

Aside the clan, they also name according to birth positions. Like first born, second born, third born, in that order... As well as multiple births and other situations surrounding birth

I beg to differ. It’s not only Ashanti’s that’s name according to days of the week. Ga’s, Ewes, Fantes also do same. Eg. Monday (Adjoa,Kojo) In ewe/ga its (Adjo, kojo( k)jo) So it’s not limited to only Ashanti’s I’m Abla ( Tuesday born ) which Is Abena in twi and Araba in Fante. Pls kindly get your fact right 😊 And yes GA’s have way of naming depending on clan and depending on whether u are the first born ,second etc Eg. Tetey (1st born boy) T3t3( 2nd born boy) Mensah (3rd born boy ) etc Also Dede( 1st born girl) Korkor(2nd born girl) Mansa/Kai ( 3rd born girl) Tsotso( 4th born girl) etc

Yes, Ghana 🇬🇭 is a beautiful and peaceful country, "the gateway to Africa," as reminded by the Blackstar monument when entering into the country. 2. Ghana 🇬🇭 is a Christian nation ✝️ based on the population of Christians in the country. Because we are a tolerable people, we accept and live in harmony amongst ourselves. Simply put, we have three(3) major religions here in Ghana, i.e., Christianity, Islam, and the African Traditional Religion (ATR). We also have a lot of ethnic groups in the country, with the major ones being the following: Akans (language: Twi), which is widely spoken in Ghana because they're the biggest ethnic group and also because of the role they played in historic Ghana during the British colonial era, Ga-Adangbes (language: Ga), Ewes (language: Eve), Mole-Dagbon (language: Dagbani), etc. "Twi" is not the official language of Ghana but rather ENGLISH! Twi is widely spoken because of the migration of Asantes to the various parts of the country. 3. Lastly, it is true that Ghanaians are hospitable and polite people. That is why foreigners or visitors feel at home whenever they visit Ghana for vacations. Also, there are other local delicacies you should have tried apart from the "Fufu" and "Waakye," you mentioned in your video. Some of these include: "Tuo Zaafi" (people of Northern Ghana), "Akple" (Ewes), "Banku" ( people of Southern Ghana), etc. NB: It is an undeniable truth that Ghanaian men are very romantic and straightforward-minded in general when it comes to love (i.e., going for the woman we like and hence marriage). Thank you! ❤ #ILove🇨🇲 #ILove🇬🇭 #ILoveAfrica🌍

Damn you got everything on point congratulation you earned a new subscriber. you are welcome to Ghana

[@shotostonero]

Okay so a day to feel proud as Ghanaian! Me after insulting my politicians rn rn😂😂thanking you for making me feel good about this country once again...

[@VictorineBihTakwe]

Hahahahaha, when you travel to other countries, you’d know Ghana is doing great. There’s always room for improvement 😃

[@SuperMike_]

Twi is widely spoken in Ghana because, three Akan groups(Bono, Akuapem and Ashanti) speak Twi and they can be found at the middle of the country so it easily spread to the North, East, etc. The second most popular language is Fante; which is spoken by Fantes and are located at the Southern and Western parts of Ghana. Fantes are one of the major Akan groups and the language is mutually intelligible with Twi; meaning a Fante speaker can communicate with a Twi speaker. Example is British and American English. The only difficulty will be the difference in vocabularies.

[@VictorineBihTakwe]

Thank youuu

The Akan tribes name their kids based on the day of the week they are born. The people from Accra, the Ga people, our names are synonymous to where we come from; the suburbs of the Ga state.

[@obedasamoah3880]

I like how you are mentioning the Ghanaian words

[@aberba]

The naming after the day of birth is traditional by the Akan tribe (along with some few other tribes...but with names in their own language). Now it's becoming a less tribal unlike it was innthe past.

[@krahebenezer]

We are humbled and romantic

[@VictorineBihTakwe]

Yea you are🤗🤗🤗. Thank you for watching

[@roynique5218]

It’s a nation of every religion. We respect any religion. Do you and don’t worry others. I am a christian who grew up in zongo( muslim community mostly hausa) We lived in peace alongside the ga people who practiced vodoo. We grew up experiencing each other right from boarding schools ( which is very common in high school) to living amongst each tribe and religion. Eating from each other’s tribe etc. i am a born christian who can mingle with any other tribe or religion. We have few shallow minded people amongst us but it’s not regular Ghanaian norm. We are not perfect but “ uplifting the good name of ghana and defending it” as it says in our national anthem means much to us because we love peace . I am proudly Ghanaian where I go because I know my respectful upbringing takes me places when I am out of ghana. I don’t encounter much hate because of the calm respectful peaceful culture I was raised with. We can live amongst every nation because we are calm and peaceful peaceful until you bring it on😂

I LIKE YOUR HAIR STYLE. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@VictorineBihTakwe]

Thank you🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️

[@greatmolass1543]

I don't know what the ladies observed, but I think the hair style may be a wig lig B. Beatrice does. It looks nice though...

[@VictorineBihTakwe]

@greatmolass1543 it’s a wig😃 yes🤗

[@onthegrindwiththabitha]

I was there 3 weeks back and i loved my stay

[@VictorineBihTakwe]

Awesome 😊😊😊 I’m glad you did ❤️

[@Nerickgh]

Correction: The names according to the days we were born is not for the Ga's. Is the Akans which consists of the Fanti's, Twi's, the Akuapems, the Guans, The people from Brong Ahafo and alot.

[@peachessubz]

Gas have day born naming, very similar to Akan except a few like Friday girl is afua not efia like in akan

[@josesilvadelima9379]

[@johnmark9604]

First time watching your channel and I am staying… I just love your eloquence and the fact that you really know your subject… sending love from 🇬🇭

[@dreamboyalfa]

Ghana is a place for all either Christian,Muslim or traditional you can do what you do it’s no offense as far as you don’t go against the law

[@VictorineBihTakwe]

Thank you for the remark

[@francesnoye8662]

Homowo is a traditional festival but not fetish. It means ‘hooting at hunger’. Historically, the ceremony was held to celebrate a bumper harvest after a long famine. And since then, the ceremony has been held every year to celebrate abundance of food.

[@esthergrace6466]

From my understanding, in Ghana (as well as in Nigeria), fufu is a specific type of “swallow” However in Cameroon there is more than one type of fufu: fufucorn, waterfufu (cassava), achu fufu, coco yam fufu, etc.

[@VictorineBihTakwe]

I never hexperretit 😃.My favourite is water fufu😀

[@lily.9802]

It’s very similar in Ghana, but plantain and cassava is the most common. We also eat yam fufu, cocoyam fufu, plantain fufu.

[@kojobadu5615]

My registered school name is Blessing Baidoo, but you can call me Akosua becuase i am a girl born on Sunday, these are our compulsory names, you cant avoud it,these are based on we the people of Akan tribe, the largest, and other tribes also have these compulsory names in their language too 🎉

[@dennisamankwahboateng4549]

The funeral part got me. It’s funny cause it’s so true😂😂

[@whitneyphilis]

The naming thing was shocking to me as well when I first learned of it. But if you think about, it sounds orderly😂

[@VictorineBihTakwe]

Hihihihi it’s very orderly 😀. But there’s going to be many Mondays in one class😬

[@afrobasenetwork]

​@@VictorineBihTakweyes if there are many Monday borns in one class, that's why you add their first or last name so you know who you are addressing

[@afekuangela-ld4qv]

Even as that we have Christian names as well

[@adjoa-anima]

They are automatic names and like the star signs every day born are believed to have some characteristics, we mostly dont officially use them as we have other names.

[@felixobiri313]

Nice experience from Ghana 🇬🇭 dear! Am heading home soon from the white man’s super cold country! Thanks 🙏 for an awesome experience! Stay blessed!

[@ruthandruthabel]

Loved this content ...laughed so hard😂

[@moseskoomson217]

With regards to the left hand, there are leftees like your sister who sometime get away with it, but gradually the Gen Zs are changing that notion of the left hand can't be used in greeting or handing over something to your fellow.

[@Darkjnr5]

The interesting thing about Ghana is that almost everyone at that Festival also goes to church on Sunday. We see such observations as culture, it must be done, exclusive of your religious identity ( Indigenous religions also exist). I will say colonization really took a toll on us Lol. We find it hard to draw the line between our culture which is a religion in itself and our preferred religion practice. So at our weddings, we have the "cultural" type and the white wedding. Naming ceremonies, we have the "cultural" one which is done first where we even pour libations and right after we go to church to observe the "Christian" type and thank Jesus.😂

[@VictorineBihTakwe]

Hahahaha wow, ok. Thank you for explaining for me to understand 🤗

[@fnkapraku]

Exactly bro.... Most of them are Christians and Muslims partaking in the traditional festival 😂

[@huistiepersol2430]

You nailed it hands down

[@pearlbambi8093]

The day-born naming is from Akan not Ga by the way. Accra is full of all the ethnic groups in Ghana Glad you loved your visit Do visit again😊

[@peachessubz]

Ga and Akan day born naming are similar. But there are day born naming in most if not all tribes.

[@appiahdaniel9507]

This girl is very intelligent articulate and sharp.

[@VictorineBihTakwe]

Thank you 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@wisdomseed4206]

The question on Ghana's national religion. Ghana is a religiously diverse country, with over 70% of the population identifying as Christian, 19% as Muslim, and the remaining 11% adhering to traditional or other religions. We respect and allow all practices so far as in not inhumane. We all agree the traditionalists are the custodian of the land so we give them all the respect. Besides we are all of a traditional belonging before the intervention on other foreign religions

[@VictorineBihTakwe]

Thank you Wisdomseed

[@akutamsilvernus]

Please check your %. Traditionalists are more than 1% moslems are less than 19%.

[@HAMSTERCOMBATUPDATES309]

you should make more content like this vic it mustn't be travelling experiences it could just be life experiences i say so cuz ur really funny and and really good story teller

[@VictorineBihTakwe]

Hahaha thank you 😃

[@afrobasenetwork]

Hey 👋 I remember when you touched down in Ghana. Interesting comments. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. Like any other place, there are bad people in Ghana too who prey on people, especially foreigners. As Ga people, we have unique names and they are so orderly

[@VictorineBihTakwe]
