[@OscarTurner-lc7xo]

Hi Jasmine

[@hahaha70263]

There's so much to explore in Ghana. The food, the cultures, the traditional architecture, traditional attires, the savanna region biome, the rainforests, the pretty women. 😘👍 Ghana has a lot to offer to tourists and/or immigrants.

[@JasmineAmaa]

Completely agree 🙏🏾🥰

[@Afrikaislife]

I keep leaving seeds in the hopes someone will get inspired. We should have an annual carnival where all the various cultures of Ghana come together to show music, fashion, food and creativity are celebrated together.

Ghana is one country that has always been on the top of my places to go and you just seal my intent.

[@warrior1657]

I have shared your videos along with other tubers about Ghana with my co-workers. I am surprised at the amount of them who are researching the prices of flights and hotels who want to visit and possibly relocate there. They are surprised at the beauty, and the warmth of the Ghanaian people. My wife met a young man at her church today who's family is Ghanaian, and his mother is there on vacation. We look forward to chatting with this family as we prepare to relocate to Ghana. Jasmine, your videos are very informative and provides lots of answer to questions that one may have about Ghana. You have definitely turned us on to Ghana and we look forward to making her our future home. Keep up the good work because you are making a difference in the lives of others around the globe. One Love!❤

Jasmine I watched a VLOG about living longer and the vlogger interviewed people around the world living into late 90 and 100’s. One component mentioned was community to combat loneliness. I’m moving to Ghana in January and I was concerned about making friends in my 70’s. Your video addressed this concern right away. Thank you. I’m a writer and KZbinr so I won’t be idil, thanks hopefully we can meet next year. My name: Professor Wize

[@Attah57]

The thing is in Africa/Ghana we live open life whereas in the west they live close life, that's why in Africa/Ghana you get help from anybody expecially if you are woman/single.

[@markntiri8251]

It may not stay so forever. The west too were open like us until they 'developed'. As we develop, we may become like them, especially if we don't consciously protect our 'openness'

[@gloriaaddae]

​​@@berthaacquah3598the problem with Ghanaians is we don't rush in life as there's no hurry in life, the west created this hurry hurry culture to do business and get stressed out and die quickly and everything goes back to the government why rushing when the world will always be there just as we came to meet it,even after death😢 it will still be there😊 so we don't rush to do things and that's why there's no stress in Africa 🌍 ❤😂

Work-life balance seems to be how life is like in Ghana, I had a small glimpse while I was there for my short visit. Looking forward to going back in the future... I could say it is the same for many countries in Africa. I live between Cameroon and England and Cameroon sounds like Ghana where life is really different and slow paced.... 💞

[@michaeladuski3015]

Wonderful perspectives and very important to present the many positives of Ghana and Ghanaian cultures. Let's just not forget that there are also profound negatives depending on your perspective. Good for those planning to relocate to have a very balanced view to avoid misleading them. Many have relocated only to leave a few months, years later due to a range of very serious reasons.

[@JasmineAmaa]

Yes definitely, i share all experiences i have had here in Ghana. Its definitely not one sided. Its just that in this particular video i am sharing positives of my experience 🥰

[@markntiri8251]

The high cost of living, especially for Accra/tema is a major reason people pack up and leave. International students are suffering same fate. We should work on this. We want more people, from diverse backgrounds to have some Ghana experience. We should cut down on the greed especially in the real estate sector, we should remove some taxes from fuel to make it cheaper, we should reduce duty at the ports, ECG should collect more of their bills and reduce the high tariffs they charge, we should produce more food etc etc

[@donnbiggie]

Ghana is not a one stop country for everything and everybody, but it is a country that offers a lot of peace, prosperity, culture, community and love. People would come and some would go for many personal reasons but so it is for every country in the world. People have different needs and expectations. Not all can be met by Ghana. But for the many whose needs and expectations matches that of Ghana, it is one the best places to live on earth.

[@itunu_e]

You know the beautiful thing about Jasmine is that you’re so positive! Mehn! There’s absolutely nothing Jasmine wants to tell you that she’s not going to leave you with some sort positivity. For instance, talking about the lateness, when I lived in Accra, being a Nigerian I had a problem with the laidbackness of Ghanaians. Omg! I’m always like, can you take life a little more seriously 😂 but I’m met with oh kakra kakra ohemaa 😂. It used to annoy me so much that at first I didn’t see the patience lesson it was teaching me. I’m back to living in Nigeria now and I’d have people ask me why are you slow? 😂 and guess what? I’m almost always late for everything now 😂.

I just want to contribute something about the time everyone is on about,its only in the west that rush rush was created, we have all the time in the world to do things,why rushing, there's no hurry in life afterall the world will still be here even after death, thats why the west has this issue of stress mentally and imotional killing people too much rushing to work and other things too much stress, but hey in Africa we take things easy and thats why no stress in Ghana 🇬🇭 take it easy people ❤😊everything you said is true 😢stress is killing us in the west with working and no play 😮i cant wait to come back😊❤

I think we somehow managed to have brought the not-on-time thing across to the Caribbean with us, we call it "Island-Time" always about an half hour late. We will be there in a few minutes or will be over soon doesn't really mean what it says...LOL

🤣🤣🤣 same in Ghana xx

[@bowgate3817]

In Ghana it's called GMT..........Ghana Maybe Time. Like say, 10AM GMT appointment. The Average Ghanaian would arrive 1 hour late or not at all. A play on Greenwich Mean Time.

[@iveniaa]

That's true. I'm from the Caribbean living in the USA. A lot of what she says such as the men willingly extending help to a woman especially if you're single without ulterior motive is also true in the Caribbean. I'm planning to visit Ghana soon.

All that you said is right but one important aspect that is killing us is poor conditions of work in respect to income and standard of living where most people are struggling. A good case here is how we hear news about nurses leaving Ghana to UK to enjoy good salary and income. These are things that need to be changed although we in hard economic times. That is why most people leave Ghana to oversees to to better their income.

The way to handle people being late it to plan ahead. If you need the house painted just add in time for lateness by booking earlier than needed. If they don't show up it's not a big deal because you needed it done the following week.

[@JasmineAmaa]

Yess great tip Eileen 🥰

[@markntiri8251]

We can also talk about lateness and how bad it is in our media etc. The more talkshops we do, eventually we'd start doing better. It's already happening. Ghanaians have bad customer service. As more people are talking about it, we're beginning to do better.
