A Day With My Ghanaian Brother-In-Law In Takoradi /Ghana

[@veronicaannahasford6743]

Is true what Maya was saying about the milk! We were all sipping small small 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

[@simonaflo7804]

I can relate to this

[@MissTrudyy]

Damn! Am sorry o. But God is good. I know things have gotten better

[@mauriceharvey1084]

Yes Fresh Cow Milk was our Breakfast in our young days ❤ Who Agree ?

[@eve954]

It’s normal oo miss trudy. It’s not poverty. We still do it😀

[@lily.9802]

The type of milk we’re talking about is different. Kenyans produce milk. Fresh milk so you can easily have a glass. In Ghana, we use evaporated milk, ie they evaporate some of the water in the milk so it’s very concentrated and so you don’t use a lot at a time. It helps to make packaging and transportation easier, since Ghana does not produce milk in large quantities and a lot of milk is imported. If you have had it, you realise evaporated milk actually tastes much sweeter than fresh milk. So no one drinks a glass of evaporated milk world wide. You’re supposed to reconstitute it with water in case you want to have a glass of it.

*❤Thanks For Showing Us A Rooftop View Of Maya's Takoradi Village❣️ I'm So Super Proud Of Mr. Wode Maya For Several Reasons & I Pray Success In All Of His GODLY ENDEAVORS, AMEN & AL🌺HA❣️*

[@tn3123]

Your brother-in-law is so inspiring! His village cannot go hungry. Food security is a must. Plus, his laugh sounds just like Maya.

[@dzifahbethel1745]

Awwwww 🥺🥺🥺 It beautiful watching this❤❤❤

[@Kira-n3i3h]

The content of the video that you have made with your brother - in law,is educacional and inspiring, it has tought me a lot.good job sister. 🇬🇶

[@eunicenakhayali8659]

The brother bond is beautiful

[@hisholiness1123]

The plant your brother was holding is called pak choi

[@whatsmyname787]

Beautiful garden. Small and compact and very well manageable. The Fish Farm looks perfect, small so that it can be easily maintained. I love the advice he gave at the end: If you don't know anything about farming or gardening, don't even try it or act like you do. Thanks for sharing Miss Trudy.

[@simonaflo7804]

I really enjoyed this vlog, very educative. Big ups Trudy

[@earlybirddove]

Enjoyable video. I love fresh organic stuff. Trudy remember your big in Volta Region? Make use of it girl. You could also do a little kitchen garden somewhere at your backyard!

[@MissTrudyy]

Great idea!

[@TheRoxyB]

You andyour sister in law cooking and Maya and his brother farming is fun to watch

[@ronaldcuieii8639]

Hi Ms. Trudy!! Beautiful vlog very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!

[@MamaC98]

I saw somewhere that more than half of Ghana’s population is lactose intolerant, so maybe that's why they don't consume that much fresh milk.

[@quamiguy]

2:36 it very true about the milk 🥛 it is still going on

[@CarlaRFowler]

♥️ we learn so much today

[@uchembonu2736]

The Demonstration Farm is so lovely ❤

[@MissTrudyy]

I thought so

[@eselecrown]

Your brother-in-law is an interesting man. Very creative farmer. You should update us in a future video.

[@MissTrudyy]

I will soon

[@josephinebrevig8748]

Great content Gertrude…..love it ❤

[@mariamasipa4197]

[@MissTrudyy]

[@joanbambury421]

[@MissTrudyy]

I Know , right?

[@spiritualjoy3485]

His brother won’t go hungry that’s for sure. I admire that he uses all kinds of containers and the plant are thriving. I love it. I agree Ms Trudy it’s inspiring because oftentimes we think we need this and that according to what other people say, but here we see who is willing, he is able. Thanks for sharing.

[@oseniajayi51]

Trudy, when you married to west African's person, you married to the whole family, that is why we refer you or call you our wife. Please be patient with our brother 'Wode Maya', patient will helps you overcome any thing in life and much more so, you will enjoy the family you married into because, you are loved and they adore you. Your husband brought his mother to spend some time with you during your last birthday celebration in Nairobi, Kenya, he is doing this for you to know and understand his mother well so that two of you can get along very well. You should by now know and reflect back to some of the discussions you have with Maya when.he always said that three women in his life are his mother, Miss Trudy and, his sister before she got married.. Maya is mother boy, and men that takes care of their mother always take care of their wife.aswell. You're dad's girl because you always talk about your dad as well and that's the way is suppose be.. Some people might have issues, why I'm saying all this because some of the empty and hollow noises out there on the social media on your one year wedding anniversary. Wishing you many years of celebrating wedding anniversary to come that will put your haters to shame.Amen!! Great interaction with your brother in law and seeing you all together including your husband was heart warming and, refreshing or reassuring.Please have more of this in future. Have a nice week and best regards to your husband and, to everyone in the family.

I like your interaction with your brother in law. Good video and Maya was telling the truth . When you grow up in West Africa, using milk in tea or porridge is a luxury . Thank God for how far he has brought Maya and the family

[@MissTrudyy]

Oh! Wow! God is great.

[@Joliembaku]

👌💪👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 thank you Mayas for sharing this with us 🙏🏾

[@Balanced3645]

It's fascinating to watch your interactions...the differences in culture are eye opening. I'm in the Caribbean where our islands are separated by miles of ocean, but I see that whether it's miles of land or water, the differences exist all the same, but I think the colonizers have left their imprints all over.

[@monicamacharia1014]

Watching from Nairobi as usual,say hello to your in-laws.Lovely indeed

[@MissTrudyy]

Thanks for watching

[@nnennadike2440]

Thanks so much

He did a great job 👍

[@idwinner9517]

Am here too, I sip the evaporated milk from the refrigerator too as a child.

[@MissTrudyy]

Hahaha

[@mantseyes843]

Hehehehe, Trudy the milk stuff was serious, up to now I still don't understand. It's not poverty though, we saw it to be a normal thing by then...

[@betitolove]

I love growing my vegetables. Trudy you could give it a try😁😁😁

[@MissTrudyy]

I totally will 😀

[@gracezagini3703]

We your brother Inlaw in your channel more often , he’s such a vibe ❤❤

[@angelawambui1468]

Trudy please keep some cows for milking. There is enough food for cows in Ghana. YOU CAN DO IT. Give maya that idea. It was hard to get milk in sunyani too. START A DAIRY FARM MAYA AND TRUDY PLEASE. WILL COME TO SEE IT. The milk was imported from Europe to Ghana.😕

[@MissTrudyy]

OMG! Great idea! 😀

[@angelawambui1468]

​@MissTrudyy please do it. My hubby is from Ghana and all I saw was the potential to keep ngombe za maziwa. The farm will boom. See you in Ghana one day.

[@arodiboyi]

That type of rooftop farming is called Aquaponics...

[@Frank-Bediko62]

Aquaponics is more than ordinary rooftop farming. My former college roommate does that. He also trains people who want to do it. It is more capital intensive so it requires more money to start with.

[@arodiboyi]

@@Frank-Bediko62 Actually you are right. It's about sustainability using elements contrary to normal farming practices.

[@tash-tae]

That's condensed milk, usually for baking. In Zimbabwe, we use fresh milk or powdered milk like Nespray, nestle. Wode Maya's brother looks more like their sister.

[@vivianneciani3096]

Happy Sunday ❤

[@MissTrudyy]

You too

[@selormde-souza9152]

Haha ...Trudy not wanting to offend MAYA after saying this is another form of poverty 😂😂...God has been faithful.

[@veronicamensahmensah2297]

Evaporated milk always used in tropical countries a lot there’s fresh milk in Ghana not every family can afford it , super market or shopping malls.😊😊😊😊

[@MissTrudyy]

Thanks for sharing

[@ladysafari01]

I live in the US and I noticed that my West African friends use Nido ( powder milk)or evaporated milk for their "Tea" which is not tea... it's really cocoa, coffee etc 😂 In Kenya that is unheard of regardless of financial status we use fresh milk. I'll probably attribute it to availability... maybe there's less dairy farming in the region.

[@florenceladzagla388]

Miss Trudy you making my day with laughter 😂😂😂its not poverty period 😂😂

[@MissTrudyy]

😅

[@Queen_Amenarina]

Wode Maya, nah measuring teaspoons of milk, & stealing sips, I never heard of such a thing, Lawd !! B1👊🏽❤🖤💚

Ms. Trudy let me tell you the French eats it, yes a dish and it’s called Escargot pronounced- es car go. So in case you ever see it on a menu just know that it is snail.

The name of leave is bok chow not cabbage. In Ghana, you can find it at Agbogloshei during raining season

If you have had it, you realise evaporated milk actually tastes much sweeter than fresh milk. So no one drinks a glass of evaporated milk world wide. You’re supposed to reconstitute it with water when you want to have a glass of it, but people just pour the quantity they need straight into their beverages or porridges which is also fine. Fresh milk is available (but not easy to find) and it’s really not as expensive as evaporated milk, however, the fresh milk in the tetrapaks found in the supermarket is expensive. If you find a dairy farm you can have fresh milk at good prices, but they are very difficult to find. Easier to get some on the university campuses that have farms as well.

[@magimagi234]

Growing up, fresh milk was one of the cheapest things in Kenya because every family in the rural either had a goat or cow for milk production.

[@MissTrudyy]

I now feel very educated… thank you for all this information.

[@lily.9802]

@@magimagi234 that’s so beautiful to hear! 😍 I have lived close to a university with a farm so I have had access to fresh milk and fresh yoghurt here in Ghana, but never in my life have I imagined making my own milk! Sounds just lovely.

[@lily.9802]

@@MissTrudyy you’re welcome, Trudy.

[@Frank-Bediko62]

Evaporated milk is produced in Ghana, eg, peak milk. Ghana imports powdered milk as the raw material for the production of evaporated milk.

Trudy what Wode Maya is saying is true. People still buy milk in teaspoons. Like Wode Maya said poverty is a state of mind but what one needs is to be shown the way to take the opportunities around them to come out of it. I recently discovered how to come out of it by reading and watching videos on investments.

[@MissTrudyy]

Very well said

[@mimon5569]

I remember we used to pour milk on the ground because there was plenty in Kenya and here people were buying milk in spoons. This life no balance. We were given two pack of milk in schools dqily for .free
