Do you know what you guys have done with this video? You're promoting made in Ghana products. Furniture in this instance, and the economy at large. Great job, keep it up.

[@blackhannahofficial]

This video just flowed 'like butter' 🧈 You guys are becoming Naturals 🤗 ...And those handsome African sons are growing so fast. Blessings.

[@evelyngolden2272]

My daughter shopped at Orca in Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire for her home there! Loved it!

[@davidatchison1793]

The Orca Decor's layout gives me Ikea vibes, but the furniture looks like it's of better quality.

[@tmobiletemp9832]

What about using a step down for your blenders and other electronics. Also attach a fridge guard and a TV guard to prevent malfunction

[@sistaluv1357]

Thank you both for being so informative, You are definitely very helpful, Tony and Ayo you are a blessing. Your children are so handsome.

Is Ayo back with you? Great video. Ghana has timber in abundance and they make the strongest furnitures I've seen anywhere. Shipping furniture should be the other way round for business!

I agree with you Tony about the china mall I don’t shop there either…even if they are the last store on earth

[@704nc]

I must agree in China mall they do not treat their employees or customers very well, but I think the Oregon mall is way too expensive. I like local furniture and crafts.

I had a lot lot my things shipped to Tanzania because I didn't have time to sell everything and the things that I had were of better quality. I'm very glad that I did but the people who were to bring my things to my house but a lot of things were stolen, damaged, spilled out all over several boxes and completely broken to pieces. Very heartbreaking and as soon as I am able to get some kind of compensation I'm out of this terrible country. I say terrible not only because of that but there's many disappointing things that I thought I could kind of deal with but Tanzania is a NO for me.

[@Eddyke]

What things are those?

[@BeeBee-wu1fz]

@@Eddyke you shut up, none of your damn business, I've had too many supposed to be professional people take money from me for a service and never delivered, I'm totally fed up with you people and want nothing else to do with any of you. Some say that happens all over Africa but landing here from being in three other countries is the absolute worse, with your fake ass repressive religions. I can't wait till I leave this filthy dirty city. Why don't you all clean this place up and even out your roads, oh that's the gov. job right. You people have nothing but lies and excuses for every damn thing. I got 3 mo to go and I'm out of this pitiful country.
