      Typical last century Ghanaian.
      Sees only the worst of his own environment that he help create and advocates for someone else or the government to fix for him. I can see you don't live in Ghana. Stay where you are. We'll continue to build the Ghana WE want, DMo.

    • @PeeperSnail
      @PeeperSnail 3 года назад +4

      I wouldn’t really hold them against them for the trash on the beach. It’s not like Ghana is the only country with filthy beaches, and I bet that they definitely have stretches of clean, well-kept beaches for conservation and tourism purposes.
      It’s hard to keep the beaches of a major city clean, or any body of water for that matter. The river that runs through New York is a toxic cesspit, for example, but that doesn’t mean New Yorkers should be ashamed of trying to get tourists to go there.

Most people were rather cold, almost unfriendly and speaking the local Twi every where. One evening on my way home along with a colleague, we were assaulted by two armed dudes on a motorbike. It was in 2015, at Adabraka not far from the Trust Towers. Much love from Cameroon!
