[@sherriebumbray1748]

I really like Natasha and Clinton. I was just at their shop yesterday for the fish and chips. Their jerk chicken is also very good.

[@ODANANETWORK]

Sounds great!

[@kedeaihie5129]

Have you thought about adding yam chips to your menu, as a substitute to imported potatoes. I visied Ghana in March/April this year. Had a very wonderful experience in Accra (Great get together 60th birthday party for a friend at Lambadi beach hotel, nice lunch at Movenpik hotel, got some nice art and carvings from the art market, brief tour of independence square), Cape Coast (Elmina Castle, Cape Coast Castle), Tema (African Science Academy, a school for gifted African girls).

[@EugeniaIsSaved]

Absolutely loved the innovation and transparency of this couple! Can't wait to try their restaurant one day soon! 👌🏾

[@ODANANETWORK]

You should!

[@kwabenajacques4735]

Great podcast! I’m in the US and I registered my business there back in October 2021. I’ll be back within the next couple of months to buy a house and setup the rest of the business. I would be interested in the couples checklist to support their employees. Great ideal!

[@traceyeffah4251]

Ghana is Paradise for the SOUL.

[@sharonawunor6557]

Dentaa, Nana Yaa mentioned that she struggled taking care of her kids by herself when her husband hadn't come to Ghana at the time. I feel its a good business opportunity to open a place for the diasporian who have kids to get a babysitting institution at a fee so they can go and do their errands during the day without worrying about their safety. Both those who wants to come stay and those who come for visit. What do you make of that. By the way I loved the interview. We Ghanaians are good people.

[@ODANANETWORK]

Yes great idea. There are loads of opportunities in Ghana

[@DanceWithKandake]

This is definitely needed

[@lilacer6841]

I just love the honesty of this couple, they walked us through the process, can’t wait to visit their chip shop, massive big ups to you guys!!!! Well done !!!!!

[@ODANANETWORK]

We agree!

[@beckyfereira5701]

So happy for Clinton and his wife on this journey, may God continue to guide them because I know they will expand. I just wanted to say thanks to both the interviewer and this lovely couple for sharing their story, it is such an inspiration and encouragement for me to do what I need to do. I pray God’s blessings and protection over them and their family. Lots of love 💗 from the UK 🇬🇧 and Grenada 🇬🇩

"Liked" The concept of having people that would encourage you. Negativity is a Killer of vision. Empowering! God bless you ODANA Network and the wonderful couples.

[@TWUMKWAME5]

The biggest problem we have in Africa is not lack of resources is lack of not knowing what we have, and those who know what we have don't know what to do with it, simple things like time management we are still struggling with the concept of time., solutions to problems are also a big missing link. Every difficulty and challenge will be mystified.

[@Kof_Believer]

Very true bro. You hit it right. Because of that, most of us have travelled to live outside Ghana. After, we realise that we have a lot of untapped opportunities. Our problem is that we have been brought to always complain about everything in Ghana. What we were not brought up to know is to every pro blem, there is a solution and those who find the solution wins with a financial reward.

In Nigeria, Plateau State is the major producers of Irish potatoes. Other places with high altitudes are Mambilla Plateau, Taraba State and Obudu, Cross River State. Irish potato can grow well during harmattan when the North is generating cold.

[@majidagadu5958]

that was exactly what was thinking as well, they should try and import Irish potatoes from north Nigeria, like, Jos particularly, even their sweet potatoes are also good 🥰🇬🇭🇬🇧

I am Spewing!! Wait for it, bad pun alert, Spittin Chips!! I was literally staying up the road from the street they are in, and I missed this gem! Well I will be back guys for sure, and working on this year, I have to admit, I was probably biased and trying to eat local Ghanaian food, but when that much research goes into the right potato and chip, fresh made sauces, thats something I can seriously appreciate.

[@ODANANETWORK]

Thank you for your support.

[@OdopaFoods]

Contact University of Development Studies (UDS) in Tamale - they were giving funds to start planting Sarpo potatoes in 2019. Sarpo pototoes is also great for fish and chip business.

[@jcn908]

Why import the potatoes?There is a huge potato farm in the Volta Region.Check out IVY PROSPER KZbin Channel.She got a video about the farm.

[@Africanrose515]

It may not be the best potato for the chips. But they could mention it to the farmers and see if they can grow them if that is the case!

[@reneea3343]

This guy is Ghanaian, even that gap in his teeth 😅 ✌🏾. All the very best guys. I can’t wait to come and try it!

[@Bonitaymorena]

Alot of Grenadians have it.. My mum and my sister have gap too :D!! And my mom grew up sharing Anansi stories with her friend the 1950s so there's definately some Grenadians who are of Ghanian ancestry.

Kwahu maintains weather is the best place to grow Irish potatoes. Check the old school people of Kwahu - they will direct you to the best people. 😎✌👌Uganda is also good in farming Irish potatoes. Contact the Uganda agribusiness guide to buy Irish potatoes for food and Seed tubers for planting.

[@yaw.kdouglas4047]

Oh my god, you always! bring positive impact, God Bless you moree

They really need to look within Ghana and Africa for the source of that Irish Potato. Build that brand and replicate it all over Africa.

[@lilacer6841]

not every workmen in Ghana are laid back. it depends on who you get. some are very serious business men

[@esson7994]

Thank you for saying this! It’s unfortunate that the narrative always seems to be Ghanaian workers are lazy and laid back . Whilst it’s true there are some lazy and unprofessional workers, that’s not always the case and I personally have worked with people in the building industry whose knowledge of their trade is top notch and can rival any workers abroad. I think the main problem is that in order to save money, people tend to employ people who’re not very well versed in their trade so they end up having problems.

[@prisoner_of_hope8386]

This is one of my favorite episodes!! I am always happy for African Americans who take the leap, but when a fellow Caribbean/West Indian person makes the leap I get so excited in my soul! Usually it's Jamaica, but I am happy to hear Grenada this time and in a previous episode. I am from Guyana (US based) and I can't wait to hear about Guyanese making the move. I agree with what Clinton said that the similarities between the Caribbean and Ghana makes the transition a bit better in that we feel at home more quickly. I wish Natasha, Clinton and Claude all the success in the world. Their generosity and kindness are shining through and I know that God will bless them and enlarge their territory, because I can see they have the heart of a servant - make a profit of course, but at the core they want to serve. God bless you all.

GREAT FANTASTIC Interview

[@ODANANETWORK]

Thanks for listening

[@kofitwum6858]

Regarding service levels, most people don't want/can't pay UK prices, so why do we expect UK service levels 🤔? I wouldn't survive as a builder in Ghana because day rates are really low compared to what I'll get in Europe. It takes time for service levels to rise. The few who provide excellent customer service/workmanship should be celebrated and paid well for that culture to take off. My 2 cents.

[@muchit3629]

I hear you but at some point people should take pride in their work. You go to a supermarket and the person serving you looks angry at you. Do we really need to be paid to be pleasant. Good thing customer service is a win for diaspora people and they can steal customers from bad businesses and hopefully offer better wages. Sometimes it is worth to put effort and worry about the rewards later.

It’s always hardest but most rewarding for the pioneers it also inspires others Some will wait for development but the reality is then your trying looking harder for the assets the pioneers have accrued.Also 100% agree about changing and reshaping the narrative we do that by raising standards to a consistent level that it becomes second nature to offer and receive such standards.
