the market is so neat,and the things are really affordable

[@anuoluwapo7996]

I agree, there should be more of these markets and clear the hawkers from the pavements and the streets. Ghana will look neat.

[@MsAnimosity4u]

People would be healthier eating food Ghanaian style but I couldn’t handle the fact that nothing is tagged. I think that they raise the prices if you are a foreigner.

[@gloriachinebuah]

No. I don't think it's personal. I think that the lady didn't want to be filmed and she was in her right to not want to play along. I think that one cannot just go around assuming that it is okay to film everything and everyone without first getting consent! People have the right to exercise their right to not want to be filmed. So, the next time you pull out your camera to film people, strangers, especially, you may want to first ask for their permission and to get their informed consent before filming because it is not okay to just film people for whatever reason without checking first whether they would like to be filmed!

[@MsAnimosity4u]

Some people are born with attitude.... or maybe she wanted to be paid for being filmed ....

[@MsAnimosity4u]

I could never survive shopping in Ghana but the fresh food would make everybody healthier!

Thanks again for this amazing vlog about shopping back in Ghana at a typical tradtional market! I couldn't help notice the number of plastic bags you picked up along the way to hold your buys! At the same time I couldn't help to think about how one shopping day at a tradtional Ghanaian market does so much harm to our "One Planet" and to the environment as a whole. Could you please take your own recyclable plastics or paper bags to the market next time to reduce the number of plastic bags you would otherwise be served to bag your buys? I love your videos! Keep them coming ... Keep them real ... Keep beaming those deep dimpled big smiles! They make all the difference!

I love the market and stuff but the only thing I would be concerned about or the animals!!! And the reason being I don't know if they're sick not sick have been sick how would you know???? Because if you're growing up in your own land and you know what they're eating what's going on with them what kind of water they're drinking!!! So I just thought about that cuz usually we just go to the store and buy fresh meat !!! would be a little difficult I would be hesitant to myself I'm just speaking for me until I knew the history and even then I would have to grow up myself in order to eat it... And with a beautiful land is there you can get a few!! but then again I just thought about it if you get a animal from somewhere you don't know if it's healthy or not so I guess it goes back to the beginning again LOL 🤣
