When I saw Tony and the boys, when he put the shirt on the oldest son, I became emotional as a dad. This is cute to see the kids growing up in Ghana. They'll be amazing adults

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

Thanks so much for that @@obidobabue1175, really appreciate it 😉!

Hello I’m doing a live on Friday on tictok talking with a lady that moved from the US to Ghana

[@ktay1114]

Hello Tony and Ayo, it was a pleasure meeting your beautiful family. My mom called me from the states earlier today and said "Tony and Ayo have my products on TV". She's always calling me telling me Tony and Ayo said the weather is going to be bad or Tony and Ayo said there will be a lot of events happening in October. She knows more about what's happening here than I do, lol. I really appreciate you all featuring my products in this video and thank you so much for your support. I hope to see you all again at another one of the Green Butterfly Market events. Take care.

Interesting idea @@winluvwinluv3734

[@bearpolar90210]

Don't forget to mention snakes! When I was there in the 80's, you couldn't walk out into your back yard without stepping on a snake egg. There were snakes everywhere and all the big mansions that they are building are not talking about sewer construction (i.e. sceptic tanks) and snakes crawling in through the toilet and windows.

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

@@blueindigo8024 - The 80's?? Things have changed and thanks for the comment 😊!
