Thanks for sharing this video my brother is preparing to travel to Ghana from Lagos. His final destination will be Sierra Leone. This video at least will prepare him from Lagos to Ghana and then Sierra Leone.

Ghana is fun

[@edidionguk5267]

Ghana isn’t fun at least when I visited , I almost ran mad with boredom

[@user-cp1nb5ry4l]

Africa still things are stressful

[@brendafleming7951]

I want to do the trip from Accra to Lagos, but the immigration officers scare me because some want bribes.

[@RebeccaEkwuruke]

I don’t know if they took any bribe because I didn’t give any officer any money. But I wasn’t involved in a lot of the immigration process though until I got to Ghana where I had to fill a paper form. The driver was more involved in the process since he collected all our passports.

[@edidionguk5267]

I plan to go to Ghana by road, the journey looked very stress free from your videos, but please didn’t they had AC in the bus? Your window was down

[@RebeccaEkwuruke]

The AC was switched on. I opened the window because I could perceive the smell of petrol. I complained to the driver but he didn’t do anything. Not to suffocate from the smell, I opened my window.

[@user-qr7nk9bk1e]

impressive, you have one enthusiastic subscriber to your channel. So getting to Accra, you need to pass Benin and togo.. is that correct

[@RebeccaEkwuruke]

Getting to Accra from Lagos by road, you need to drive through Benin and Togo. Thanks for subscribing 😊!!

[@user-qr7nk9bk1e]

@@RebeccaEkwuruke Rebecca, do you think that a brother from Canada will less complications to do what you did, Given holding a foreign passport.. thanks

[@olivelanguagespace]

Great video😊, I learnt a lot. Please how were you able to book for an Air bnb from Nigeria? Or did someone help you from Ghana? Also what is it GIG you use for your trip. Thank you.

[@RebeccaEkwuruke]

I booked the airbnb from Nigeria but we used the GTbank dollar card to pay on the Airbnb website because we couldn’t pay with the naira card. GIG is the short form for GOD is GOOD motors. It is one of the biggest logistics company in Nigeria.

[@olivelanguagespace]

@@RebeccaEkwuruke thank you.

[@oyinloyetosin6677]

What a Very insightful video. Please how much does it cost to get a moderate hotel for 5days in ghana?

[@RebeccaEkwuruke]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Honestly, I don’t know because I stayed in an Airbnb but you can check online though

[@ladychi8870]

Great video. I have never travelled to Accra by road, always by air. Your trip have given me courage to go by road. How much did the coach cost and do I need to pre-book or just turn up at Cele as early as possible? Where exactly in Cele and what is the name of the coach? Please what was the name of the Air B & B you stayed at in accra? Was it good? Thanks for this information. I appreciate. I have subscribed to your channel and looking forward to more videos.

[@RebeccaEkwuruke]

Hi, I’m glad this video has inspired you. I paid 64k for the trip from Lagos to Accra. It is always better to pre-book the coach if not the chances of you going that same day is very slim. GIGM have coaches that leave twice everyday from Lagos to Accra. For the airbnb, I stayed here: www.airbnb.com/rooms/21360791?check_in=2023-06-01&check_out=2023-06-08&guests=1&adults=1&s=67&unique_share_id=c2139382-7deb-449d-9aec-452f0eb55710 The host was very nice, though the appartment itself wasn’t so nice. However, the location of the appartment was very good.

[@julietijeoma5466]

Hello please what transportation do you use and is this travel recent

[@RebeccaEkwuruke]

Hi, This travel was done first week of this year 2023. I used God is Good Motors (GIGM)

[@dili1951]

Please what is the full budget to Ghana, accommodation feeding.

[@RebeccaEkwuruke]

We paid 63 USD for 3 nights in an Airbnb. We spent about 1000 cedis the whole time we were in Ghana (2 full days). This 1000 cedis includes cost of feeding, fees for tourist sites we visited, transportation within Accra, and souvenirs. Transportation (Nigeria to Ghana) cost 64k NGN per person to go, and 58k NGN per person to return (Ghana to Nigeria).

[@charityozymadu]

How many hours from Nigeria to Ghana and how much is the total cost. Thank you for this video I didn't think it was possible to travel to Ghana by road. So I can go ahead and get my passport.

[@RebeccaEkwuruke]

Yes please. Go ahead and get your passport. You can also get the ECOWAS passport. There were some passengers in bus that used the ECOWAS passport. The trip cost 64k NGN per person. Though I reserved my bus 2 days before the trip. If I had reserved a week before, I would have been cheaper with as much as 10k. Thanks for watching !

[@user-cp1nb5ry4l]

I will advise you to get your passport and travel by Airport to Ghana to avoid stress, in 1 uhr you will arrive in Ghana

[@Sample-ns3zq]

Did you also stamp when you got to the Ghana border?

[@RebeccaEkwuruke]

Yes we did stamp. At every border, we stamps when entering and exiting.

[@etinosaomozusi783]

Nigeria to Ghana is like Benin City to Abuja??

[@RebeccaEkwuruke]

Probably. It might even be shorter to go from Lagos to Ghana than from Benin to Abuja. We could have arrived earlier if not because of all the stops we had at the different borders.

[@charlesottin5440]

Pls I don’t know if you’ll reply to this but “ How much was the T-fare and as at what month did you travel ?

[@RebeccaEkwuruke]

Going to Ghana cost us 64k naira each. This trip happened on 02 Jan, 2023.

[@stabingy]

Ghc65.00 won't last both of you half a day in Accra

[@RebeccaEkwuruke]

Yeah, you’re right. I exchanged more. I only captured 65 cedis on video.

[@Realbuzztv.]

How much from Lagos to accra?

[@RebeccaEkwuruke]

I paid 64k naira per person. I paid 2 days to the trip. If I had paid earlier, it would have been cheaper.

[@Realbuzztv.]

Okay thanks, the exchange rate is quite tricky oo you said 14.5 per 1000 but they gave you 65 cedis for 5000 that means 5000÷65 is 76 per cedis that means dollar is a bit cheaper in Nigeria than in Ghana next time go with dollar instead.

[@Realbuzztv.]

Please how can I reach out to you ? On Whatsapp?

[@RebeccaEkwuruke]

@@Realbuzztv. I never calculated it that way 😅. Dollar rate in the black market depends on how much you want to buy. If you buy a small amount, the rate is higher, and vice versa. Dollar is also not so easy to come by in Nigeria. Naira is just a good compromise. But thanks for the tip 😉.
