    As Black American woman I notice that African men are straight forward about their feelings which are different from American men. It can take long before they really know how they feel. So when I met my Ghanaian Husband it was a cultural shock about how he didn't play about he's feelings about and he wanted me all to himself. I had to learn that also about the left hand my husband had shown me because I'm Left handed I do everything with it . For I used right for #2 not my left 🤦🏾‍♀️. This was hard for me to learn. Ghanaians are nice and very friendly. I went shopping at local stores myself and I felt safe and felt at peace. Ghana is now my second 🥈 home Welcome me .

    I love Ghana! My stay there was so memorable. A really beautiful nation with very nice peaceful people. I also loved the aura- to me it gave off “Christian nation”.
    I also didn’t witness the lefthand thing. Or maybe because I was a foreigner they gave me a free pass.
    One of my fav dishes there was Kontumreh (i’m not sure if i spelt that right). They even taught me how to cook it & I did when i returned to my country 😄
    Overall Ghana is one country I could gracefully settle in. The Akwaaba vibe was 💯 %

  • @nanapinkra
    @nanapinkra 5 месяцев назад +58

    A Ghanaian who grew up in Ghana but currently live in the states here 🤚🏿. I love it when content creators or tourists have an open mind and immerse themselves in the places they visit. First time here and i subscribed. Sorry for the long text ❤🤒
    1. About the billbords: You're even lucky you didn't visit next year, which is an election year. The billboards are crazy nuisances which needs better regulation.
    2. The left hand: Culturally, using the left hand doesn't show respect. I don't know where that came from but as a child i had school mates who were taught to use their right hand even if you're left handed. You'll have to apologize when you use the left. So being out of Ghana for years i always need to restrain myself from apologizing for that. It isn't as bad for the younger ones as it was for my generation. I'm a millennial.
    3. The twi language is the main language of the Akan ethnic group or tribe, who are about 70% of the population of Ghana. And the main occupants of 8 to 9 out of the 16 regions. So it's kinda our lingua franca. I've been to some very remote non Akan places and they still can speak Twi or at least understand when you speak it. The Asantis are a subset of the Akan ethnic group. So example of you traveled by road from Accra to Kumasi. As soon as you left the greater accra you started the tour of the Akan regions till you go to Asante region. There are variants of Twi though.
    4. Saying please is part of us. You're taught to even say please when you greet as you said. The Akuapims (another subset of the Akan tribe in the eastern region) a groomed to even say please before they insult or diss someone. It's part of us pr a stereotype 😂. It's those things that make us laid back and oit of trouble because the level of politeness is too much. 😂😂
    4. Religion: We are mostly Christian, I think the last census put Christians at around 68% or so. But we are very accommodating of various religions and ethnic groups. That's one thing I'm super proud of Ghanaians for. I think the boarding school culture from high school inculcated that in us.
    5. Funerals di3 don't go there ooo. Please we the asantis and Akans will renovate our family houses when someone dies so the house will be nice for visitors. We commemorate the One Week of the person's demise, a weekend of funeral, 40days and 1year. It's an Akan thing and the other tribes also have something similar but fortunately not as flamboyant 😂. There used to be wake keeping the night before the burial but our chiefs thankfully canceled those.

      @@brightatabeso583 Hi Bright 😁 🫡. I don't know if you're in Ghana or Ghanaian. I'm open for corrections anytime on the percentage of the Akan population in Ghana. Akans include Akyems, Akuapims, Asantes, Guans, Akwamus, Bonos, Ahafos, Kwahus, Nzemas, Fantes, Ahantas, Sekyeres and others that do not come to my mind now. All of these tribes are occupants of the Eastern, Ashanti, Bono, Ahafo, Central, Western, Western North, some parts of Oti regions. So yea they could make up about 70% of the population of the country. But pls teach us if I'm wrong I'm always happy to learn especially about cultures and my own at that and I think that's the essence of the video and my comment. Thanks.

    The left hand is reserved for picking dirty stuff and washing and wiping your unclean parts. It is seen as a sign of disrespect to use that hand to extend anything to anyone. If the right hand is occupied and the left is the only hand free, you have to apologise by saying "sorry for the left" in the process of handing out anything with your left.

    Hi Victorine!👋
    I loved❤ your video presentation on the 10 things you loved about Ghana🇬🇭.
    Please, I would like to clarify some things based on your observations and statements made in your YT channel:
    1. Yes, Ghana 🇬🇭 is a beautiful and peaceful country, "the gateway to Africa," as reminded by the Blackstar monument when entering into the country.
    2. Ghana 🇬🇭 is a Christian nation ✝️ based on the population of Christians in the country. Because we are a tolerable people, we accept and live in harmony amongst ourselves. Simply put, we have three(3) major religions here in Ghana, i.e., Christianity, Islam, and the African Traditional Religion (ATR).
    We also have a lot of ethnic groups in the country, with the major ones being the following: Akans (language: Twi), which is widely spoken in Ghana because they're the biggest ethnic group and also because of the role they played in historic Ghana during the British colonial era, Ga-Adangbes (language: Ga), Ewes (language: Eve), Mole-Dagbon (language: Dagbani), etc.
    "Twi" is not the official language of Ghana but rather ENGLISH! Twi is widely spoken because of the migration of Asantes to the various parts of the country.
    3. Lastly, it is true that Ghanaians are hospitable and polite people. That is why foreigners or visitors feel at home whenever they visit Ghana for vacations.
    Also, there are other local delicacies you should have tried apart from the "Fufu" and "Waakye," you mentioned in your video. Some of these include: "Tuo Zaafi" (people of Northern Ghana), "Akple" (Ewes), "Banku" ( people of Southern Ghana), etc.
    NB: It is an undeniable truth that Ghanaian men are very romantic and straightforward-minded in general when it comes to love (i.e., going for the woman we like and hence marriage).
    Thank you! ❤

      I beg to differ. It’s not only Ashanti’s that’s name according to days of the week. Ga’s, Ewes, Fantes also do same.
      Eg. Monday (Adjoa,Kojo)
      In ewe/ga its (Adjo, kojo( k)jo)
      So it’s not limited to only Ashanti’s
      I’m Abla ( Tuesday born ) which Is Abena in twi and Araba in Fante.
      Pls kindly get your fact right 😊
      And yes GA’s have way of naming depending on clan and depending on whether u are the first born ,second etc
      Eg. Tetey (1st born boy)
      T3t3( 2nd born boy)
      Mensah (3rd born boy ) etc
      Also Dede( 1st born girl)
      Korkor(2nd born girl)
      Mansa/Kai ( 3rd born girl)
      Tsotso( 4th born girl) etc
