Ghana cost of living| Must know information moving to Ghana| Ghana Vlog

[@shaniekae]

In the central areas of accra, you get water from Ghana Water Company and you get billed monthly. And you either pay at one of their offices, at certain banks or through their app. It’s mostly in the outskirts that people have boreholes, I think because Ghana Water is either really unreliable in those areas or they’re not present at all. As for the Polytanks (it’s the common brand of water tank we have here) everyone has them, whether you get water from Ghana water or not, cos sometimes they shut off the water for maintenance or to fix a burst pipe or something.

This was EXTREMELY helpful! I have family in Ghana but was born in the US. I’ve visited a few times but have learned a lot more just watching this video. We are experiencing dark times here in the US and while I know there is no perfect country I am really considering moving to Ghana.

Everyone having to watch the same shows on different cable boxes in different rooms is the way cable used to be when it first came out. Nobody could watch anything differently even if they had cable hooked up in different rooms. DSTV shouldn't still have that archaic option.

Great Job you forgot the mention how much is the cell phone cards monthly?

[@tvs9978]

There aren't monthly cards here. You pay as you go. You can buy credit for 1,2, 5, 10, or 20 cedis and when you use up your credit, you top up.

[@redcurtain6851]

Thanks 👍

[@tvs9978]

@@redcurtain6851 UR welcome, I should clarify though you can get a monthly service from MTN only where you pay at the end of the month. The other networks only allow monthly payment for established corporations with a certain revenue threshold. However with MTNs postpaid service, you have to deposit a sum with them (in case you default) and obviously your service will be cut off I think 5 days after the due date if you fail to make payment.

[@josephquaye5155]

Vodafone internet service is very good

Greetings. Glad I found your channel and I subscribed! I saw a suggestion that diasporans should not come to Ghana looking for work. What do you and your mom do for work? Thanks

[@nyscorner806]

Greetings sis! Thanks so much for all your support, there are ways to make money here in Ghana you just have to find them lol. I will be posting a video soon talking to different people here from the diaspora that have business and means to make money. My mom and I work online and we are resume writers, we acquired that job before we left. So you can make it work. MUCH LOVE!!

[@kwasiglobal4286]

It depends on your skill set. I'd say diasporans coming to Ghana should know what they want to do because the wages are not comparable to what pertains in the States. For instance, a taxi driver in the states may make about 3x what one would make in Ghana. However, some other professions may earn you wages close to what is in the States. That said, opportunities abound in Ghana since the market is not as developed. It's all about coming down with a plan.

[@quanitathompson6994]

Are you able to access Netflix/Hulu/disney+ etc. There in Ghana

[@nyscorner806]

Yes I think you can, there are ways that you can stream things like that here.

[@fredqwequ2909]

Yes you can access Netflix and others in Ghana. Once you have their mode of payments they require you are good to go.

[@mpalmer7800]

Why not just go solar straight?

Peace Sis💗 Beautiful Video!!! What's the name of the place where you and your Mom moved to when you first moved to Ghana?

[@nyscorner806]

The place is called Legassi Gardens. I would say it was a good transitional place for us. It had it's drawbacks lol but it had it's pluses to and the staff there is really nice. I alot of expats stay there when they come here. I will be doing a video on Legassi Gardens and I will also interview the owner Nana Kwame soon.

[@roberteshun1376]

With the gas situation it is better to have a spare tank , so whenever you run out of gas you can replace it with the spare.

[@nyscorner806]

Hey! That has ran across our minds before the problem is storing gas could be a possible safety hazard without it being in a special container or tank to store the gas. We have not found one here yet, do you know of any containers or tanks here like that we can purchase?

[@roberteshun1376]

@@nyscorner806 I haven't lived in ghana in a long time so am sorry am not able to tell you where you can get one. however bk in ghana we always had a spare. The container is the same as the original one you probably using in your kitchen. To be pricise same as the one you showed in your video with the gentleman pushing towards the gas station. You just need two of that, one in use and the other as spare.

[@nyscorner806]

Thank you so much for the information I will definitely tell my mom so we won't run out of gas as frequently lol.

[@Catsndeen]

Buy an extra gas tank and keep it full so you dont ever run out while cooking

By the way Rent is paid for 1 to 2 years in advance. So with rent of 400.00 USD 4,800.00 for 1 year.

[@wendelsr7203]

How many rooms?

[@myrtisallotey8928]

It would depend upon the neighborhood. 400.usd a month should get you a decent place however it is not uncommon to pay 800 a month in exclusive areas lived in by westerners and high civil service workers

Thanks as always for your info. Can you share where you are renting from. The back ground seems so nice and peaceful. Is it an apartment or house. In which part of town. Thanks

[@nyscorner806]

Thank you so much for watching! My mom and I are renting from a really nice man who has pretty nice properties. He is actually in the process of building another complex around the same area we live. We live in a flat in the West Hills area of Accra. If you would like you can DM me on Instagram or FB if you would like his info.

Ny's Corner great. I will. Once all of this stuff is over, can get the mind back on track. Thanks.

[@positivevibes2406]

Why don't you get a solar panel?

[@nyscorner806]

I wish we could lol, we are renters so we don't own the place we are in, also solar panels here are not up to date and they cost so much money.

[@positivevibes2406]

Will you buy land and build your own house? Regarding the solar panels, you should reach out to an African American brother called Amtasiyahu in Egypt. He is based in Cape Coast and he knows all about solar panels. He has a KZbin channel. He is very helpful and I am sure he will be sn excellent resource for you and your mum. One love my dear❤❤

[@nyscorner806]

Thank you so much for the information! I will definitely check him out and reach out to him, we haven't decided if we are going to buy land or build a house here, we have to see what happens.

[@positivevibes2406]

Sorry Ny, I gave you the wrong name: Amatsiyahu in Eden m.kzbin.info/door/YM1zDzYqVHD_FDzlb9tD-g That is his KZbin link above☝🏾 Stay blessed my dear x

[@antitonysmith]

So it seems like the cost of living is relatively cheap, but how much money does the average person make? This is good information!

[@nyscorner806]

Thank you so much Etta, I'm glad you found it informative! It is cheaper compared to American dollars but Ghana is not the most cheapest country here on the continent, when you live here for a while you have to look at your money in Ghana Cedis and that money adds up lol. But according to our friends we have met here the average Ghanaian makes between 300 to 400 Cedis a month which is $52 to $69 a month.

[@antitonysmith]

Ny's Corner oh wow. Would that imply that Ghana is a very impoverished country? I’m sure it’s rich in culture and other things, but now I’m wondering are there wage gaps? Pay inequality? Or not so much? I’m so used to America, now I’m wondering if other countries have similar experiences.

[@nyscorner806]

Don't get me wrong lol. I would not say that it is impoverished you have some nice parts of Ghana as well. You have people here who have money too, it depends on your reality and your circumstances. There is poverty all over the world even in America lol. Of course it seems like not that much in American dollars but in Ghana Cedis it can stretch. I think it is really important to show all parts of Africa because coming from a western point of view we have been fed all kind of negative propaganda about Africa as a whole and there are a lot of beautiful, scenic places here not just in Ghana but all over the African continent. I can definitely understand being curious about other countries if you have never been there, I know I was lol. That's why I feel it is important to make these videos to show all sides.

[@nyscorner806]

To answer your question about wages and inequality, do you mean in terms of gender, race, educational background...?

[@antitonysmith]

Ny's Corner all. Lol. Like certain countries I know they have those issues. But I guess I’m feeling kind of hopeful that things are different there! I really hope to visit some day.
