Ah Madam Dela, see how you're boosting Ghana's economy. Well done, may your good fortune continue to grow.

[@moretodela]

Thank you

[@bhat_ysrael]

I love the interior design content. Also, I like elephants and people in paintings so I'll need to mention that when I hire your and Bailey's services.

[@moretodela]

For sure 😊

[@SherrieBumbray]

You and Bailey with the good good skin. ❤

I saw the interview with Dre. That is a beautiful property! I loved the decor shopping vlog! Those were some beautiful products.

This is great love when you went to the market and meeting local artisans. Keep this app as you will meet many designers/carpenters/furniture makers who can make them more bulky items, probably at a fraction of what you are paying in the stores. Always good to cultivate these kinds of professional relationships. but when you do you have to go to the furniture stores, could you not call or ask to see the manager to get their permission to film, especially as you make it clear that you will be advertising their shop on your channel you may even be able to negotiate a discount. you’re a personable person cultivating good relationships is the key. How’s it working out with your PA? I hope she is able to lighten the load. keep up the good work.

Am so Proud of you Dela she is the one who introduce me to Royal Kingdom Estate and I bought my 2 Plots thru your videos Girl you are the best . I wish you no how you make me Love Ghana with your videos, Well Done❤️❤️❤️

Can't wait to see local artisans featured. Street art was off the chain. Bought several pieces back with me. Ghana-centric design. Like you know you're in Ghana Africa when you see it.

[@PatriciaChavers]

It's through these videos that we get to know these stores even exist. They don't want publicity then....Now, which business doesn't want free publicity.... Weird for a business.

[@kehindeemiabata4032]

I can bet its nit the store, its clueless security.

[@cicelysoulsojourn0101]

When looking at artist artwork , it’s not like looking at pictures in a store, we must critique with less emotions and said statements and appreciate the hard work and efforts put into the pieces to share with others. I’m saying that because I am working with global artisans now and I can appreciate how they bring the imagery and place it on canvas etc to share with us. Happy you are going to the local artisans. Salaam

[@TheBelchersApprecitiveEye]

Maybe a new approach! Go at it by talking to the manager, saying you will share their business on your KZbin channel.

[@moretodela]

We were just looking for a particular feel. It’s not that the art is bad it just didn’t fit what we were looking for.

Hi Dela, if you are both furnishing those black houses with tan and terricotta brick don't use too much Gold and bronze and black, bring in something a totally different colour that will bring the colours already part the the building. Go for various shades of light grey, blue, cream, off-white, mustard yellow, sage green, this will create balance. don't use tables with gold trim . try something different. Good luck,💕💕

[@moretodela]

We have a plan for the place

[@kehindeemiabata4032]

A lot of the artworks are from kenya and South africa. These people who are selling the artwork didnt produce the art . The ghana art shops you see around have been selling the same art for the last over 30 yrs. The art has not changed.

Even if you ask to film they say no. I wasn’t even filming for KZbin. It was for my own person use. My PA quit, she had some family issues.

[@pramaccra3106]

Oh Dela! Please, when they say it is their policy, don’t do it. It is their property and they decide what is allowed and what is not allowed there. It is like your property, it is not a public space. We love your vlogs.

[@moretodela]

Hmmm I find this really funny (not you) the fact that people don’t understand I wasn’t recording anything for public consumption it was for me. It was only 3 seconds on each item at best. It was literally for my own use so I could go back to buy it. As a customer there shouldn’t be anything wrong with that.

[@moretodela]

😂😂😂 so regular “customers” should not be able to take pictures of things they want to buy for their own reference. Got it!

[@myrnajames1460]

Sorry Dela, why does diaspore want special treatment, if you were in the UK and went into a bhop and they told you that you could not film their products you would accept it and walk away but because you are in Ghana or a black country you portray an entitlment attitude, Please stop it and dont fall in this catergory. enjoy your new progress.

[@Icanfly70]

I don't see it as "special treatment", I see it more as Ghanaians not understanding how we shop. Ghanaians are all about grabbing your money and go. Westerners, as consumers we are accustomed to having choices, unlike Ghanians. We like to touch, feel, sit on, try it on (kick the tires) before we make a purchase, and most retailers where we come from understanding that. Trust me there aren't many Ghanaians out shopping like this, if these store want our money then they must learn consumers shopping behavior to sell to us. Foreigners are most of their customers.

[@bash2268]

Don’t mind them their just a piss taking freaks

[@sofori7210]

Nonsense. There's no shop (public places) in UK or Europe that you are not allowed to take pictures or videos. That silly mentality you guys have in Ghana makes you look like a super villagers. Grow up

[@denniscasely-hayford3245]

​@@sofori7210 Would they have allowed if she had taken pictures and not a video? I have taken pictures at Furniture City before (bar stools), without any problems.

@@sofori7210 I have lived in the UK for 62 years, I will still stand by my comment, but will not have a dispute with you. Have a blessed day

[@xdmooo]

No store anywhere in the world permits filming on their premises; this isn’t unique to Ghana. I understand the desire to capture images for reference, but the reality in Ghana is that you could take a photo of a price today, and by tomorrow, the product might either be unavailable or the price could have changed due to inflation. However, if you had asked for permission in advance and explained it was for a mood board, I doubt they would object. I’m assuming you’re aware of this, as it’s likely not the first time a store has asked you to stop filming or leave. 😊

[@moretodela]

It wasn’t that I was trying to hold them to the price I just needed to remember where I saw what. It wasn’t even for a video. Just person use. Also fyi, I’ve told stores plenty of times that it’s for a promotional YT video and they still say no

[@xdmooo]

@@moretodela I get it, you were just trying to keep track for personal use, not to hold them to the price. But many stores have strict no-filming policies, regardless of the reason. Even when you’ve said it was for KZbin, they still declined, so they’re firm on this. As a public figure, you probably understand that stores do this to protect customer privacy, prevent competitor access, and control their brand image. It also helps them avoid security risks and potential misrepresentation.

[@T-Richrich]

“In the world”???? Uhh you must live in a different universe because all stores actually do allow camera usage where I come from!😂

[@kehindeemiabata4032]

​@xdmooo that is so not true. They do allow in uk. Shops are public places and wgen in a public place if you want to, you can take pictures. The law states when in a public place, three of no expectation of privacy. You are wrong.

[@xdmooo]

@@kehindeemiabata4032 Please visit Marks & Spencer, take a walk around with your camera, and share your experience with me afterward. You can legally film anything in a UK supermarket if the management approves it. In most cases, you would need to write an email and obtain proper permission beforehand.
