Why Ghana? Why NO Lights!!

[@jenniferturkson278]

Ghana is sweet, but it will teach you patience. When you build your house, go off-grid, which means solar, generator, and borehole. I live in Minneapolis building in Accra prampram. I use solar sensor lights, solar everything. I was the one who tapped electricity in my area (ECG) Ghana national grid, but i don't depend on it. Focus on building your own house even if it's a tiny house, and make sure you go completely off-grid, grow your own food, and be happy and peaceful. That's what i want to do

[@Mz.BahamianGoddess]

Thanks for the tips! It’s my plan.

People thought they going for greener pastures in Africa that is Ghana 🇬🇭. A country that you don’t pay taxes do you think you will have everything like you did in your home country? Nah sis nah….will teach you patience and tolerance and appreciate where you come from.

[@Mz.BahamianGoddess]

I didn’t think that. Just didn’t think about monitoring my electricity, but I know now🙏🏾

Praying for you

Listen! Learned, I have no doubt that you will adapt to your new environment and always thanks for sharing.

[@Mz.BahamianGoddess]

Thank you. You’re welcome ☺️

[@jastelle45]

Conserve energy and save money 😂 I was cracking up hearing you advise yourself. Sounds like you got it figured out. 👏

[@Mz.BahamianGoddess]

Right!! 🤣

[@andrewstadeker7679]

Be sure to add solar to your home build. And be sure it's enough to power your entire home. Expect to pay about $8K

[@Mz.BahamianGoddess]

Thank you received 🙏🏾

[@williamgamelisenaya793]

Sis Ghana with all the great people & food has the tendency to humble you. I know you'll overcome all obstacles. Nuff respect. It's nobody's fault, it's a learning experience. Bless up. Watching from the land dowunder Sydney NSW

[@Mz.BahamianGoddess]

Thank you so much 😊

[@shellywest6717]

Sorry but you have to go through it to learn. Yes in the day time you keep window open and utilize fan at a minimum. Night time AC is best time to use cause its a little cooler, less energy being used. Its like that in majority of the islands/ continent. Lesson learned, but you caught on fast. It take time just do what you can one day and step at a time. There are many more you will face, just live and learn. Just keep pushing through it all; cause at the end you will find your peace and joy. Have a bless one.

Take it easy auntie, you'll be fine,try manage till you get your own place ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@richardakomeah5368]

Sister u should go get yourself a fun which is like 450-500gh so when your room is cooler u switch off the a air condition that will safe you half of the cost monthly, Start to leave the Ghanaian way❤❤❤❤

[@Mz.BahamianGoddess]

Thanks. I have one coming just don’t want to buy something I already own.

[@ttinkert77]

If you from The Bahamas, you should be used to the power going off🤣🤣🤣

[@Mz.BahamianGoddess]

You would think right? 🤣

[@ttinkert77]

@@Mz.BahamianGoddess lol I hope you have power now. 😆

[@MarjoriePope-w9f]

Wowww this is def not the US lol. I’m so sorry. We from the Bahamas, we know when there’s no power

[@fradoline]

Wishing you all the best!

[@Mz.BahamianGoddess]

Thank you!!

[@herregalness7461]

Sis you cracked me up but put that sign right on the exit door as your reminder. When I was in Gambia I would have it on at night to cool the place down then run the fans in the day unless AC was needed while I was at home. You'll get it soldier momma.

[@Mz.BahamianGoddess]

Thank you 🙏🏾 for me to instantly blame Ghana lol all long it was me.

[@Jennifer-it6tr]

You will pull through, try to only use the ac in your bedroom at nights, put on the fans and open the windows during the day. That's what I did while living in Panama for the past two years. When you build get solar, please.

[@Mz.BahamianGoddess]

Yes ma’am. I’m on it like white on rice.

[@iamonlyoneme]

This was too funny🤣🤣 Lesson learned🤭

[@Mz.BahamianGoddess]

The struggle is real but worth it 💜

[@Mogul_Heiress]

So sorry to hear! I cant wait to see how you decorate the apartment.

[@monihollingsworth1870]

Solar panels will be a must. How long do you have to wait for reconnect?

[@Mz.BahamianGoddess]

It took like 3hrs in the hot building cause the network was down

[@mznaturaldiva67]

Tori girl i feel ya am visiting too and I have to monitor my AC usage in my house. Electricity is expensive in Ghana 🥵

[@Mz.BahamianGoddess]

Tell me about it.

[@BlairsNGhana]

Tori, you're still fresh out there. You'll master it soon.

[@Mz.BahamianGoddess]

Just pray for me plzzzzz.

[@bowgate3817]

​@@Mz.BahamianGoddess You can top up your electricity from your phone 24hrs. No Need go to a top up shop/kiosk.

[@gbexodus24]

Chin up you,re doing well. See if you can get the ECG app on your phone to top up your electricity.

[@Mz.BahamianGoddess]

Ok. Thank you. I’m doing it now ❤

[@CollinsCollum]

[@mli6861]

Hmmm 🤔 roughly 300 dollars a month, sounds like you got a leak somewhere or a poacher 😢. Unplug everything to. You can buy portable solar for where you are ❤

[@Mz.BahamianGoddess]

🤔 I’m going to look into that. I really just need my stuff to get here too. Because I truly planned for this.

[@jenniferturkson278]

​@Mz.BahamianGoddess Truth is that man proposes, but God disposes my dear. We might plan A but ultimately B is in his hands. Take care, calm down, keep hope alive and depend on God's ability. I became your subscriber because I saw the energy and your faith in God. If you keep the faith, trust me you will pull through without an effort. One last advice for you dear. Reorient your priorities to help you integrate and be happy.

[@KK-if3un]

Your ac is the quickest way to finish ur electricity in Ghana. Purchase a fan and alternate between both cause a 1000 cedis should be well enough for a month and turn off everything but ur fridge when u leave the house. 💯

[@Mz.BahamianGoddess]

Thanks for the tips!

[@LotusSolespot]

Make sure you talk to your manager who your renting from ask them how you should manage your utilities so you won’t run out of the 1000.00 cedes also my sister in Cape coast gate man was stealing her utilities she found out after she moved out when he ask for the card saying he didn’t have utilities without her card… Sis just please find out he was using her utilities the nerve! I know you said you’ve be leaving your air on but just find out Sis prayers up

[@Mz.BahamianGoddess]

Ok. Received 🙏🏾

[@kevinmaden5572]

No wonder Ghana keep asking me can she come to the United States and live !

[@Mz.BahamianGoddess]

Lolol. Oh tell Her she can go…. But she’ll be back. 😄

[@estrellitastewart8872]

😂😂😂

[@MissNadine-23]

Living in the States made you wasteful in a sense. Who leaves their AC and lights on when they are not home.....that can't happen here in the islands. Electricity in theses islands are to the roof. So be very mindful next time.

[@Mz.BahamianGoddess]

I can agree to a certain extent. 🙏🏾
