Why We're Moving to Ghana | Living Abroad - Expat Life

[@princelahad4637]

Lived there between 2008-2010 best experience and I gained much experience that gave me master energy ancestral power. Plan to go back soon.

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

Awesome! And thanks for pointing out that you CAN move there for a time to have a deep experience and grow yourself. Moving to another country does not have to be a permanent decision for everyone. Thank you for your comment! ❤️️👍😊

We’re moving back to Ghana from London next year. It would be great to link up and meet some returnees. I lived in Ghana as a child but my wife was raised in UK. We’ve been back but are getting a one way ticket in 2021.

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

So scary to get a one way ticket! But so worth it ❤️️!!! There are so many people who have commented that they are trying to move soon I feel like we should start a private group to make some expat connections... would you join in?

Them calling you obroni (white) is not just by the skin colour, noticing the western culture in a person can also trigger them to call you obroni. The way a person speak in terms of accent can also trigger the locals to call that person obroni. A dark skin person with with an accent or traits of western culture can trigger the locals to call that person obroni. Growing up in Ghana, my friends from well off family are still called abrofo ba ( white kids) With your accent, light skin and western culture you will not escape from some locals calling you obroni but trust me, they don’t see you as a minority at all.

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

We take no offense being called obroni... but thanks for that perspective on how the term is used and reminding us all that it is not meant as a put down. ❤️️

[@mercyfrost288]

Yes we Ghanians are very warm,,,kind,,full of respect for others,, friendly and warm.👏👏👏

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

[@floreedith4667]

Obroni in this instance means westerner because they subject me to that too because I'm light so it does not always mean white person!!!

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

Totally... I've been hearing it so long. I guess you and me both 😉💕!

[@blackheritagerehabilitatio4301]

Ghanaians are strange sometimes there are many light skinned Ghanaians some mixed race living in Ghana who have never left Ghana. So you would think they would stop this Assumption that light skinned is Obroni. Mind you I also get called Obroni although I am dark skinned they do this because I live abroad. Obroni literally means someone from abroad a foreign land. So it is more than skin colour.

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

Agreed... as soon as they hear the accents there's no denying it. Either way, I'd rather be called obroni than some of the other choice things I've been called here in the states 😶. Thanks for the insight!

[@LemoneAid19]

@@ExpatLifeGhana isn't that strange? To be called a name by your own can be almost... welcomed compared to the derogatory names for you here in the states.

[@carole2270]

In Togo, they call a person with light skin, yovo. You don't have to be from a broad. In school, some of my teachers called me da yovo( Miss white ) Da means Miss, never bother to call me by my first or last name. My friend nick name is Dayovo, until this day most people don't know her first name cause that's what she was called since she was little.

"Obroni" generally means someone from abroad... People will call you obroni just by your accent for example....it doesnt directly refer to ones skin colour.

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

Thank you for that. I guess I will have to work on my Twi!

[@nakofitv]

To be honest obroni means white man ..

[@georgebaafi5655]

No my sister,I am also an Akan like yourself,if Obroni means a person from abroad then kindly explain what Obibini also means,call a spade, a spade.

[@a.konadu4010]

I returned to live in ghana at age 12 and spoke no Twi. I was called obroni and I can assure you I'm not. Both meanings are correct but in her case...it was definitely her skin color. With me I was called that by only people who could tell I was a newcomer as well as when I spoke.

Love your videos! I traveled to Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania in Feb 2020, got back to the states just before all hell broke loose. I would love to visit other areas like Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Liberia. These are the African countries which showed up in my ancestry DNA report (44% of the total African 73% ancestry), hope this makes sense. Trying to gain as much knowledge from you as I can. Blesslngs to you guys in this move to a better life! I found life was less stressful and people very accepting and helpful in the areas I visited. I also found that if they saw you were trying to learn the language they were more apt to assist you in whatever you were trying to do. We had the most fantastic guides and driver's, they were prearranged by a Rwandian relative of one of the ladies I traveled with. Thanks for this informational space.

I know things are crazy, but I hope you guys change your mind. I find traversing underdeveloped countries is a taxing experience. Everyone cheats you if you are not savvy. All those little things start to feel like a weight around your neck. I feel for you. You said you don't feel at home here and you won't feel at home there, but with God you can be home, no matter where you go. I pray for you guys. I do not want to leave or travel out of this country ever again. I hope things improve here eventually.

Great video.....content is spot on. You are a great couple that complement each other.....you both could blend in Jamaica!! Have to slow down at sometime in your life and enjoy the surroundings, build relationships (get to know your neighbour)...the sunset, walking on the beach early in the morning and watch the sun come up from the east and just slowly take in every minute of it......that’s living! Living in the Caribbean is also similar to Ghana .... a slower more fulfilling quality of life. I’ve always maintained that it’s not where you live, it’s the quality of life that matters. Life for some in the states is far too hectic, constantly rushing here and there and not having any downtime is a recipe for disaster....working, working, working .....I only visit .....I prefer a slower pace....makes perfect sense. After all this pandemic has reminded us that it’s not much we need....your spirituality, food, a roof over your head and of course WiF!!! Stay safe please!

I can't wait to follow your journey! I'm curious to know, how do you plan on earning a living there? And will you seek dual citizenship? I am researching parts of Africa now. I plan to visit The Gambia first but Ghana and a couple of other countries will follow. Ayo, I hope all it'll take is 1 visit for my hubby to get on board with Africa as well. Any advice? He's "interested" in maybe visiting while I am totally committed. We've also brainstormed on entrepreneurial ventures on the continent. I hope you both are staying healthy and safe out here ✌🏾 Dee

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

Dee, this is Ayo. Hey👋❤️️. To be honest, Ghana and African living sold itself to Tony. He was hooked three days into his first visit. I think the make or break of it all is the disposition of you and your husband. If y'all are easy going and okay with some simpler living, then you'll love it. When you want 5 star everything and only like Western things, it can be more frustrating for you. As advice, eat local, see the sights, stay in some different areas if you can to see the country's diversity. Also, talk with other expats (share our videos with him) and get a sense of the community there. Finally, really talk about what life would be like (not on vacation). As far as money and financing, we are working on that video and an interview in the coming weeks. I hope that will help you come up with ideas and really think about your options. Finally, yes, we will be seeking dual for me for sure and the boys. Tony's may take mine being completed first. Thanks for the great comment and questions!❤️️

Do you have Nigerian connection?

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

Yes, I have family in Nigeria and my Father's father is Nigerian. Are we cousins?

[@Uncommonconversation7220]

@@ExpatLifeGhana Not that I know.. intuitively I have a great feeling that you have Yoruba ancestry. I might be wrong. Do have a wonderful time with your family in the motherland. Welcome home.

There's another African-American family on KZbin who moved to Ghana from the north east a couple of years ago and I've followed them off and on (I believe that they're now stuck in Thailand due to Covid-19) and have learned quite a lot watching them and other vloggers to where I'm going to visit Ghana soon and then contemplate (methodically) my move to Ghana as opposed to leaving right away despite my wanting to do just that as I hate this country which isn't ours, we're clearly not welcomed nor wanted here, we're hated, oppressed, harassed and murdered by the police. I'm sorry that I didn't get out of here thirty years ago when my son was six years old and while I was much younger. I want to live where I'm truly free as we're NOT free in this country. I want to live where we're the vast majority and where those who run the country and police it look like me. I want to live where I no longer have to painfully listen to some of our ignorant and self-loathing people tossing around the N-word at each other as though it's a term of endearment and that respect shouldn't matter. Nothing is going to change in this country and we've been far too tolerant, patient and pathetically asleep for far too long, so it's time to go. I've been to Jamaica twice since 2018 and loved it because everyone looked like ME (figuratively, not literally lol) and the government is run by Black people and best of all, I had absolutely zero qualms about the police as I felt safe and it would be the same in Africa and particularly Ghana I'm certain. One cannot beat that feeling of worry/stress-free living. I have many questions that I'd like to ask of you both privately regarding Ghana if at all possible. I see that KZbin has done away with the ability to message others as well as receive messages. I care not to publicly offer phone number or my email address, might you also be on Facebook or Instagram? I've subscribed of course and will follow you religiously as you're on the path that I intend on traveling. It's a big step for the better and it must be done correctly. It will not be the same as moving from NYC to Florida as we did thirty-three years ago as of Wednesday the 15th, we're talking 5,400 + miles. Thanks and I hope to be able to communicate with you somehow in the near future. Kindest regards and all of the very best to you!

Even if you are fully Ghanaian but speak with American or British accent people will stil call you” obrini” lol

lmao the irony of you being ghanaian and being treated like a white lady because you're light skinned that made me laugh because i have a similar experience as a light skinned mixed person. in america i'm not white, so it was very weird for me to be called white abroad.

My elders I hope you enjoying 🇬🇭You shouldn’t take any notice of idiots that go over the top by calling you Obroni which means white.

[@jaypremp]

Lol OBroni is the term they use for anyone who's lighter skinned or a foreigner. I'm 100% Ghanaian and brown skinned and they still call me obroni lol

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

#Truth Jackie. My 11-yo gets it too, but not the 5-yo. I guess ppl just call it like they see it 😉.

[@jonesagyei1384]

Obroni literally refers to 'one who has come from beyond the sea'. It was used to refer to Caucasians or people of light skin; that is "foreigners". The meaning now loosely refers to people who's accent is "foreign" as well. In your case, it is certainly your accent that qualifies you to be called obroni.lol

Right?!? It is interesting to see how my relatives in Ghana are able to parse out where someone is from and even their tribal ancestry when they look at people. I guess I don't strike them as a local (but white?!?) IDK...
