A WEEK IN MY LIFE IN GHANA PACKING TO LEAVE | GHANA VLOG | LIVING IN GHANA

[@lanawallace2964]

Vanessa YOU DO WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, that’s all that matters. And WELCOME HOME, honestly Scotland is the best place to raise children and they can have AMAZING holidays in Ghana once you complete your holiday home there. I’ve a holiday house in Tobago and my kids love spending summers there. When I retire and my kids grown up, I plan to spend my summers in Scotland and winters in Tobago, and you and your husband can maybe do the same with Ghana….we are blessed to have the BEST OF BOTH WORLDS 🥰💝

[@jonathansk5608]

7 months ago i saw 4 beautiful ladies travelling together Vanessa, Anna, Marintia and Nubuke. Now they are all abroad, UK, Netherlands, US and UK. That was not expected.

[@blackstar2688]

Really? It was expected.

[@josephinebrevig8748]

All is not what you see on vlogs….apparently 😂

[@emmaafriyie5170]

Yep Dela is the only one standing and even with her who knows? Maybe her husband is gone to grind over there in the UK for some money to support them. It is not easy as you think in Ghana. Young people stop wasting the young age and work this time in abroad and invest in 401k so that you can have cash flow in Ghana when you come to retirement age. Abandoning your corporate jobs and moving to an African country with no source of residual income coming in every month is not smart.

[@brownbabygirl]

@@traceyeffah4251 I think even with dela it hasn’t been easy. Remember a couple of years ago she went offline and also had to fundraise to get fees for her child? Hmm

[@Katarina23]

@@emmaafriyie5170 Dela and her husband are getting a divorce, thats why he left. Also, youtube pays good money. You can build a house and open a business easily in Africa without debt as compared to wasting your youth on debt in the west. The rat race in the west is a lie. The youth are breaking the shackles.

Thanks for sharing, Vanessa. I'm looking forward to watching your new content from Scotland. I subscribed years ago when you published your Agbogbloshie video. Take care. x

Huh? It doesn't mean that what she is saying us not true. It means she made the move, that YOU yourself haven't, and now she is making a decision for her family to move back. Oh AND she purchased land in Ghana....so she has choices. Learn from her, be flexible, try it out and decide what's best for you. Instead of standing in judgement.

[@denniscasely-hayford3245]

Wrong my friend!! She explained exactly why she is leaving Ghana. She is pregnant and wishes to have her baby in Scotland for personal reasons. If she wasn't pregnant, she will continue to remain in Ghana. In point of fact, she bought land in Ghana and readying to build a house.

[@selassietetevie4966]

@@denniscasely-hayford3245 Ghana is not for weak people, so if people are not ready mentally, its better they stay in the cold and 9 to 5,we will build this country with the right people, for the people who get influenced by you tubers into making important life Decisions, they are weak minded, the commentor was ready to MOVE !to Ghana based on the opinions of others without even coming themselves, and now is ready to abandon that idea, because Vanessa is returning for her personal reason.

[@bf1822]

I thought about moving to Ghana, but have since changed my mind, perhaps I will move to The Gambia or Tanzania..

[@kathyt3076]

Looks like half the people commenting under that video are not really following Vanessa... She explained why she is TEMPORARILY going back to Scotland in her previous video. She had been showing the difficulties you can face when moving to Accra, Ghana. She has shared stories of other people doing the move and talking about their experiences and giving advices. If the only thing you can do in here is judging someone's choices in their PERSONAL life, just go take care of your business. People are way too comfortable being disrespectful kmt

[@tightbrotha1]

I was getting emotional just watching you. Ghana sure gonna miss you and your wonderful family.

Best wishes Vanessa, I wish you a healthy and successful life in Scotland and hope you will be back in Ghana in due course.

[@smd4751]

I used to shop there (at the A&C Mall Max Mart)! Yeah there are just things I wasn't willing to buy for those prices.

[@beneficialfrequencies8907]

My dream and goal is to spend 6 months in the homeland in winter and 6 months in UK for summer. . Everyone who moves permenantly usually come back. Always best to have your base in the country you were born in. It may not be perfect but you will eventually miss it and want to come home. I say this from experience. I rented my London home out to travel and within 3 months I wanted to come home. Have elderly relatives that sold up and moved to Jamaica. All of them either regretted it, moved back or died within a few months of being there. Half and half is the best balance. 💯

[@mobrown7594]

No some people move and don’t move back but each to their own

[@larsstougaard7097]

True or try to live there for a longer period before moving permanently, but of cause having homes both places would be best solution , best of both worlds

[@francisgodmanntv5937]

you need a proper business in Ghana, they live beyond their income. you can never survive in Ghana without multiple income.

[@sarahashun1180]

My late parents retired to Ghana. However, they made frequent long trips to the UK. Ghana is not an easy country to live in especially for the young. If you’re born or have lived in the the West for a long time you realise how deficient Ghana is of so many things. Good healthcare binging one of the main factors. Also, someone needs to do a documentary on why Ghana is so expensive, it’s absolutely ridiculous and simply doesn’t make any sense. It’s hardly Switzerland. There are far more developed African countries that are much cheaper. Kawme Nkrumah, would be turning in his grave. In fact there was a recent report, with the following headline, ‘’Why is Ghana one of the most expensive countries in the world.” I have a love hate relationship with Ghana. But needless to say, one day I intend to make the country my home as well as the UK.😂😁

[@revelationat2g1]

Ghana becomes expensive depending on the individual choices. Banku N tilapia is GHC 40 but same thing sold at labadi beach at GHC 120. Renting at east legon for $1500 - $2000 a month, same amount can pay for 6 - 9 months in kwabenya, lakeside, tema. Using uber, bolt etc will cost, it will be better getting yourself a small car with 1000cc - 1500cc for your rounds N not ford F150.

[@Mrlondonboy4life5367]

@@revelationat2g1 exactly

[@sarahashun1180]

@@revelationat2g1 That’s not true. I frequently send money to relatives so they can buy the basics. All staple food has increased in price and that includes products that are produced in Ghana. Ivory Coast is much cheaper. Housing, food etc. Petrol is also expensive because Ghana doesn’t process it’s own oil. It’s about time the country showed a bit of foresight. This is what the Asian countries did after independence and they’ve never looked back.

[@revelationat2g1]

@@sarahashun1180 that doesn't make Ghana expensive. The whole wide world is currently experiencing economic recession, it's not a secret.

Vanessa, is your sister still here in Ghana? How is she still able to live in Ghana

[@richardbyarugaba1365]

Seriously Ghana businesses import yoghurt and butter from the UK!!! There are some things that don't make economic sense to import especially if they can be produced locally at a cheaper price and with plenty of local raw materials available. Even the impact on the environment to ship or airlift tonnes of yoghurt and butter from UK to Ghana is unnecessary. All that is required to make butter and yoghurt is milk and there are plenty of cows and plenty of milk in Ghana. Making butter and yoghurt in Ghana instead of importing will create more businesses, give money to diary farmers, create jobs in small scale industries, save the environment and also guarantee affordable butter and yoghurt. So that was interesting to see brands like clover butter and yeo Valley yoghurt on a supermarket shelf in Ghana. Thanks Vanessa for the great videos.

Dear Vanessa, I wished you would stay in Ghana. With all that is happening and is going to happen, you have a better support system there in Ghana. I live in the United States and know it is going to be harder here because of the people, they are not used to doing without and being supportive of each other during hard times. Fuel, food and other things will be more limited in the West. Ghanaians know how to survive during hard time, Just an fyi.
