An Asian guy I know told me yesterday that "Ghanaian people have the best smiles." I thought that comment was very sweet.

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

Yeah, the best smiles are Ghanaian smiles

[@MrOu83]

They may have the best smiles but those smiles drive me crazy sometimes. Lol. When I tell or ask people that I am engaging in commerce with to put on a face mask, he or she oftentimes will smile. When I ask them why they’re smiling, they never give a verbal reply. It’s actually quite endearing at times, though. I think it’s done in order to avoid a hostile confrontation. Most Ghanaians seem to detest confrontation (which is necessary and unavoidable sometimes. They also believe in saving face, rarely wanting to offend you. They might even tell you a lie or remain silent (and smile) so as not to offend you.

[@Noooomihj]

I love 💕 the level of RESPECT, Ghanaians have for anyone older than them. Especially you can’t call anybody older than you by their names, you go like if he is between 17-40 you say Bro Jame, or Sister Jasmine. 40-70 you start with an auntie or uncle. 70+ and above dad or mom, or grandma 👵 or grandpa. 🇺🇸✈️🇬🇭

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

Yes! ❤️️! I love how much respect is infused in the culture. Leaps and bounds over the US!

[@youandme9569]

That stems from the fact that everybody has been a child before, but not everybody gets to reach an old age. Achieving elderly status is something that cannot be promised. And as result, you have to respect your elders for actually seeing the world longer than you have and gaining a bit of wisdom on how to survive this world. Nobody can promise you longevity on this planet no matter what you do in life other than by the grace of God. So basically it's just cultural consideration we afford our elders, regardless of their status in life. Surviving long enough on Earth is something to be proud of and it ought to be respected by young folks.

[@holyghost709]

This kind of respect and reverence are found in all over Africa. I'm from DR Congo and can easily relate to this fact. You do not address your friend' father, Mother, Aunty, Big Brother or Sister by their first names. No! You address them as Papa(Father), Maman, Aunty(Tante), Uncle, Big Brother(Yaya...followed by their first name, e.g. Yaya John, Yaya Isabella, etc...). May the Lord bless Africa.

In Ghana she was driving and she slowed down and a taxi driver jumped in front of her and then another taxi did the same. She put the car in park right there and said F..this, you drive hahaha.

I hate the driving here in Ghana, especially Greater Accra. I have never seen such madness in my life. It’s actually dangerous, in my opinion. Motorist gave the right of way here, not pedestrians (that’s what’s practiced anyhow). On top of that, Ghana is not a seatbelt-wearing culture.

[@killdungeonclan3605]

@@MrOu83 but still there not that much road accidents and I always wonder how, I'm Ghanaian turning 18 soon I'm so reluctant to learn driving because driving here is soo crazy and overwhelming. commercial drivers like to intimate you

[@MrOu83]

@@killdungeonclan3605 - I know it may seem that way because we don’t see them personally (I have seen several in just over 9 months), but Ghana’s fatal vehicular accidents resulting in death, ranks #23 in the world. This is according to World Health Organization (WHO) in 2018. It is based on number of fatal accidents by population. per 100,000, a percentage is taken from that. Being that highly ranked for something like this is not good. I am frequently told by taxi drivers that Ghanaians don’t like to wear seatbelts. Sometimes we have to do things we don’t like, especially where it involves your health, safety, life. Seatbelts could probably have lowered the fatality rate in some of those accidents. A cultural paradigm shift is needed.

I've been watching Ghana, videos like this help encourage my thoughts of visiting.

Being more natural products is what I like about Africa. That must be the reason Africans have such Beautiful skin complexions. I Pray you all have a very Blessed and happy life in Ghana.

Greetings from Oakland, California! In 1990 I visited Ghana and had a beautiful time. Accra, Cape Coast, and Kumasi were among the cities I experienced. THE PEOPLE are loving and gracious , so much so that I came away hoping my ancestors were from Ghana. However, in 2016 I learned my maternal ancestry (via African Ancestry.com)-Fula people that now live in Guinea-Bissau and the Temne people now living in Sierra Leone. Ghana has a warm spot in my heart. I’m a Sunday born girl, Akosua. 🤓

[@marciamann2945]

So glad I came across your channel!so useful as we are thinking of moving to Ghana too from the UK

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

Awesome- Glad it was helpful! And I hope we continue to inspire and entertain you 😉! Welcome to the channel ❤️️!

[@francisekowdeheer4400]

Very helpful comments. I think a few are not quite correct but most are. I really respect the spirit in which they were made. I'm very passionate about re-linking our brethren in the diaspora, and in my small way I am try to help. I wish you the very best. We need more of the brethren to come and join in making our homeland great

Thanks for sharing @Francis! We appreciate every contribution that moves to connect those in the diaspora with home ❤️️ 💛 💚

Enjoyed your vid very much (and subscribed) Im white and from the UK and have been three times and recognise SO much of what you say. I long to return to visit my many friends there. All you say is true but for me No1 it has to be the people, they are just wonderful. I have never been not made to feel very welcome. They all want to chat with the obruni. To have the kids come up to you (there is no fear of the stranger in Ghana) to try out their 1950s style oh so polite english on you is a joy. To anyone reading this and considering going (be you black or white, it doesnt matter) you will not regret it, its an amazing place on so many levels

You've got that right @Mark Roberts! Everyone is welcome in Ghana. Thanks for commenting and subscribing ❤️️🇬🇭❤️️!

I'm not gonna lie ppl being havin so much fun on the beach in ghana compared the beaches over here in the U.S. because when you go to some of these ghana beaches they have food, they are playing music you see alot of ppl having fun compared to the beaches you go to in the U.S. where everybody is just sitting down at the beach and watching other ppl swim and looking bored 😂😂🤣

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

Haha! The beaches have a lot to offer in Ghana and that is why we love being in the coastal regions so much. 🏖💕 Great point Abby!

I know people want to talk positively about Ghana, but the beaches are dirty and polluted. It really saddened me. I would be afraid to get in that water. I had a hard time sitting and eating at a restaurant on the beach because it was so dirty. There is so much potential.

[@anthonyamoakoh3846]

This is very interesting. My joy in listening to you guys cannot be overemphasized. I'm a Ghanaian living temporary in US and I'm about to come home. So my interest in your program is very important to me. I left home almost 15 years ago and I love to learn from sojourners like you to enable me know the facts of the current situation as compared to when I left home. I will continue to follow your program and, probably give my suggestions/ contributions when the need arises. My suggestion now is to encourage you to find where you can help straighten the wrongs, especially the old "canker" (bribery). Thanks for your good hearted intentions to make living in Ghana work.

[@kishakyler5313]

I went this time last year. I believe my favorite was the Slave Castles, like you mentioned. Every Black American Needs to experience it.

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

So, so true! There is no textbook in the American education system that can teach you as much as that trip does about the slave trade. I hope more black Americans can make the trip. Thanks for the comment @Kisha 😉!

[@tifipaul5686]

I agree , but I would say that the entire Diaspora should experience it. As Americans we often think of slavery as an American thing when America actually received less enslaved Africans than the tiny island of Jamaica. It's the separate and unequal aftermath that is still present today that sets us apart. Brazil was the largest consumer of enslaved Africans. When I visited Brazil a few years back, I was super impressed at how they were able to maintain customs although they are hundreds of years removed. It reminds me of the Gulla Geechie community in America.

[@judyotway9479]

Not only Black Americans, but Caribbean people too. I’m Caribbean and I’ve been there. It’s horrifying.

Yes! The natural food.. such a difference even the soda in all the great natural tasting favors. No corn syrup. I actually feel better at the end of a trip. By the way. I am speaking of Malowi. But everything you mentioned about Ghana 🇬🇭 in your videos sounds same. Only Ghana may be a little more developed. Lol the fresh chickens on the bikes. The goat heads at the street stands. The cows, chickens, Goats, and other animals taking there time to cross the street. But i love it.

Thanks for watching and thanks for the shout out, whoop whoop!

[@l.t.a.lwithcomfort4097]

I love watching you guys. I can't wait to move back myself. It's been 26 years. So it's about time. I'm truly excited. Yes, the food is less processed. We don't like sugar like the west do... so they make sure to reduce the sugar, in the food that they import... otherwise they won't get a good market. But soon and very soon, by God's grace... Ghana and eventually the whole of Africa... will produce and build more factories. That will help the economy grow, as we better our health. Because, our sources are being trafficked outside of our Countries, to make the goods that they ship back to us. So in other words, we are being used and cheated. I've read comments elsewhere about our food being heavy. It's actually not that heavy. It all depends on the portion you wish to eat, based on how long you plan to go, without eating again. Those who walk miles to work ect. eat heavy in the morning, so they don't get hungry during the day. Some prefer to eat the same food repeatedly, because it's their favorite. Then you have people like me... who like change. Those who like change, can cook many dishes... spicy, mild or regular. The food can be light, heavy... from breakfast to lunch and dinner... desserts, snacks and appetizers. You just have to know your way around, just like you would... when you move to any new place. Where there's a will... there's a way. If you have the mindset to make any environment work out for you... then you'll do good there, too. "Where God guides... He provides." So if God guides you to Ghana or any other African Country... then, you'll do just fine. All you have to do... is to trust & obey Him. He has the Will, what's left... is for us... to just make the way. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
