As a Ghanaiana l am so pleased to listen to you say good things about Ghana. We Ghanaians always have a good heart. You are always welcome b ack to Ghana.
Get in touch with Ghanaian RUclipsr Wode Maya, he could be your best plug. But there are other Ghanaian youtubers that can also make your trip really enjoyable. Best to go in December also where all the action happens.
In Ghana, you see christians and muslims waiting anxiously for each others holidays. We celebrate all the religious festivals irrespective of one's beliefs. Food is food and we move
@@ruthvincent-sy2hh Things have changed in Nigeria because of jihad and islamisation. There're cities where Christians and Muslims don't share the same neighbourhood. The jihadis push their cows into people's farms to destroy them and you have no one to report them to. This is why there's hunger in Nigeria today.
Ghanaian here, we love you too Nigeria! Lol, sometimes I wonder why we have other counties separating us on the map. If only Ghana could share a direct border with Nigeria!😂😂
I am a Jamaican, living in the USA and recently took an amazing trip to Ghana, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana. My favorite country was Ghana because I felt most connected there, but during the tour, learned that most Jamaicans are from the Ashanti tribe who were slaves shipped out of Ghana. Hakim, I appreciate you sharing and hope that others will admire such beautiful culture as well!
I am an Afro-Bahamian 🇧🇸 I really appreciate this, I do believe that most Caribbean people ancestors were shipped from Western Africa mostly Nigeria/Ghana is what I’ve come to learn.
Go to Seirra Leone next if you get the chance. They speak crio which has an underlying semblance to patua (I may get the spelling wrong). I think you would be nostalgic there. It’s very revelatory 😊
Well I agree with you Cos im Jamaica there's this should I called them tribe or settlements that speak what almost sounds like twi from the Ashanti tribe here in Ghana .. even eat kenkey/dokonu and it's so surprising the Jamaicans don't use the kenkey but the dokonu and it's the same thing we eat here .. no wonder Africans are one .
Hello from Georgetown Washington DC. My mom from Montego Bay Jamaica, Dad from ODA, Ghana. I was raised in Eastern region Ghana, Akim Oda, and studied at ODA SECONDARY SCHOOL. Ghana is such a great country. I have invested over there, got married to my high school girlfriend, we will be there the 2nd week of December. I really miss home, we can't wait to be there. BIG UP HAKIM. Thank you so much for sharing
As a Ghanaian, honestly, I usually feel jealous of how we treat white/other races. We treat them so nicely, with such respect and love, it's almost surreal. We don't make them feel odd. But when the tables are turned, and we find ourselves in the space of the white/other races, we don't get it that way. And it's honestly sad😢
Because you guys idolize the white men so strongly. You guys treat other blacks like shit, especially the diaporans. Most Ghanaians women bleached their skins to look whites. Africans love to kiss the white men asses.
@@CB-vn9lq why must he get over? Black Americans alone have the rights to protest and complain about their treatment? I am black Caribbean and in my country we are treated racially bad by South Asians who are citizens of our country.
Il est vraiment FIERE DE parle de son grand pere, son grand pere le manque aussi nous Africans nous AVONT L'AMOUR DE TOUS HUMAINS, IL EST JUSTE FIERE D'ETRE GHANA 🇬🇭 ❤❤❤
I am 59-year-old Ghana currently living in the U.S. Hakim, I am so glad that you have seen and valued the discipline you received from your grandfather. Oo how I wish my stepson will see and appreciate the discipline I try to instill in his life.
Don't give up hope, it's nothing like having my grandkids call me up and saying " granddad you were right"" . Sometimes I'm not exactly sure what they're talking about. But it sure good to know that they were listening. Keep giving him an alternative to what he'll hear from someone else.
This is really good and special for all Africa countries. Nobody is called White Africa, Asian Africa, or Spanish Africa. We are all just Africa. Love from Tanzania 🇹🇿
I am from cote d'ivoire am Ghana is our neighboring country. It is nice to see for once someone who values so much Africa in general and west Africa in particular. Thank you!! And thank to your grandfather. May he rest in peace.
I’m South African and my little brother is half Nigerian and Half Zulu, I’m Fully Zulu by the way but I can relate I feel part Nigerian because of being raised by a Nigerian Step Dad so we ate Nigerian food and incorporated Nigerian culture and lifestyle in South Africa. So seeing tell such an amazing and beautiful story just got me teary I’m 28 male by the way and Zulu so just know it’s touching in the Zulu culture a man has to be strong and not show any weakness, but such story’s get you a bit vulnerable because it’s like as a World we’re evolving slowly but surely where cultures are integrated and stereotypes become abolished because of those interracial experiences. Keep it up guys your story is very special and beautiful.
@@naughtyfishrecords1736 Mwofethu, you could have told us what ethnicity your brother's Dad hails from . Nigerian is too vague especially since they have Northerners that are as different from half of the nation. Now i am willing to be your little brother is much taller. i could never understand why Zulu men are stockier
Hakim, tu es Ghanéen et Africain, pas besoin d'avoir de sang pour l'être, tu as grandi avec cette culture, que l'âme de ton Grand-Père repose en paix 🙏🏾❤
Hakeem,we as Africans and Ghanaians are wildly proud of you for seeing the strength and resilience in you through Africa and beyond Ghana.You actually realise your value through your grand Dad.He is proud of who you have become!❤❤❤❤❤🎉
This just goes to show that a person's outward appearance is not the whole story. People are more than their skin color, so be open and more accepting. As an African ftom Cameroon, i approve this video and its message
You guys do discriminate. Unfortunately, towards other black people, the diasporans. You guys love to idolize the white men. Well, ya, just bleach ya skins. Show love to other blacks as well
Gambia is waving love and respect❤🇬🇲i was living with Ghanian in the same room for almost three years in Italy, but we all taught each other in life, he also said he can't forget Gambians in his life, his older than me, his Christian, i'm muslim, his more older than me, but he listing to me a lot and i do too, we are all one, is just evils separated us😡
Ghanaian indoctrinations are the best though tough to bear and understand your parents but when you grow to understand life then would realized how blessed you are.🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
I agree too...I thought my parents were suffocating me and not allowing do what I want. But now that I'm older....oh Grace! I thank them for putting my future interest at heart and raising me and my siblings well.
I came to London at age 21 knowing no one in London and i must say i only survived and did well due to my strict upbringing of my grandparents,,,thanks so much grandma.
I love this ,I am a Nigerian, but I love Africa and Africans,for instance, the weather in Africa can't be compared to other continents, God bless your family.I was disciplined and taught to do the right thing always, my dad made sure we learnt the African culture and dialect and respect and greet your elders, love your neighbors and learn to mind your business ,not everything you hear ,see and talk about,be focused and patience. Above all, hard work makes you a better person.
Such a powerful account Hakim. I’m a Ghanaian and to me you’re a Ghanaian. Full respect to you for what you have achieved. Salute. That upbringing is powerful and yes that’s typical of a West African home, very similar to South Asian homes. I had the same upbringing at home in London and my dad would set us homework to complete evening morning and would expect it completed by the time he got back from work the next day. Love conquers all and clearly you loved your grandad very much. He loved you too. I’ve been to India and I’ve actually got more friends who are Asian than Ghanains or even white. I must say I was in Indian for 3 weeks and it’s just like Africa. Everything is literally the same. Please hurry and holiday in Ghana and I promise you you will go there every year. Ghana is booming, vibrant with youth and class. It’s super fun, lots of rooftop bars that makes you feel like you’re in New York but with the African vibe and weather. Honestly is modern too and so multicultural in Accra you. I met lots of Asian Ghanaians in a bar called SkyBar in Accra and they spoke my language Twi, their heritage has been in ghana over 100 years and they would tell you their Ghanaian not Asian. I thought I was the most Asian African in UK but Chale in Ghana I was pleasantly surprised by how multicultural it is and how everybody is so free. I would love in Ghana any day. In fact about from the pound sterling, there’s no comparison when it comes to personal freedom. Ghana is the life ❤
Proud to be a Ghanaian! These are transferable skills and values passed on from generation to generation. We love you Hakim and sincerely and warmly welcome you to our community and our homes.
December in Ghana is now the new pilgrimage to be celebrated by all lovers of positive influence, true African culture and the love for life. You will never forget the experience. December is a great time to catch real fun but be mindful to book your accommodation ahead of time since most places get fully booked by October. Ghana loves and misses you Hakimi and the crew.
It’s the fun time of the year especially for tourists. But for anyone who wants to stay or live there must visit when life is back to normal so you can appreciate the challenges as well as the opportunities that may be available to you.
He learned so many valuable lessons from his grandfather 👴🏾 🙏🏽 😌... These are the lessons and pride that were taken from Africans who were taken from African and relocated abroad. 😢
Hakeem, I am Liberian and so proud of mother Aftica. Hearing you speak your truth about Africa WOW. I am very proud of you and I know your grandfather is smiling down on you. Thanks for being earnest. What a beautiful journey in your life.
I am proud of you for speaking well of your grandfather and your love for him . I am also a Ghanaian, and I have raised my children and other children with the same values as your grandfather did. The good news is that each of these children has excelled in University. Thanks and Praise be to God Almighty.
Wow this such a beautiful story and kudos to your Grandpa for raising you to be such a fine and respectable gentleman. Ghana 🇬🇭 is such a great place and the people so peaceful and well mannered.
Wow very inspirational story indeed.. I live in the UK, Northampton to be precise.. although I was born in UK, schooled in Ghana growing up attended boarding school there but been back for some 30+ yrs so I can very much relate. My experience in Ghana made me resilient!Appreciate you sharing your story.. just shared your channel with my daughters who were born and bred here in the UK. I think your story will motivate them more as they always say I am too pushy and they don’t like the pressure so now they can understand me.. I just want the best for them.
We love you, man. Ghanaians are happy to receive all humans. Our doors are always open. 😊 Be part of this year's homecoming in December.❤ Watching from Ghana
Thanks for appreciating Ghanaian culture and values and that of West Africa. Let love lead worldwide.Am proudly Ghanaian and currently in the UK. Thanks guys for this channel.Ghana to the world.
Your late granddad is still proud of you behind the grave. Be blessed for showcasing your late granddad ✊🏿.. Burst into tears listening to your story about your granddad, very emotional.
Hello brothers and sisters I am Ghanaian proud African, right now I leave in Canada 🇨🇦 growing up my Grandmother is my hero, I just want to say to the world, Ghanaian mothers are the heroes, they raised us to be the way we are. Thanks JAH BLESSINGS 🙏
This was refreshing to watch. How you narrate your experiences with your grandfather pulls us in and it’s so relatable to our own experiences with our Ghanaian parents. All through the video i kept smiling and thinking about your grandad and imagined him beaming with smiles and pride over your achievements and how well you speak of him. ❤❤🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
Oh wow 😊I'm very touched hearing Hakim speak of his upbringing and embracing of all the beautifully mixed cultures he was blessed to have grown up with. Y'all just gained a new Subscriber🇭🇹
I am so happy Hakim that you got to experience that part of your Ghanaian West African world. You are such a fine young man and I am proud of you for telling it as you experienced it. ❤️
This is touching to listen. Ghanaians love you right back, Hakim. Thanks for highlighting the great values and virtues from West Africa. You are really blessed to have had an African grandfather. I’m a Ghanaian and the training I received from home has transformed my life.
As a Nigerian, this is the most beautiful testimony of an African/Ghanaian influenced upbringing. It really does need to be exposed in this world. This experience of Akeem's is so similar to my own in so many ways. I thank you for the broadcast as it is so identifying. 💯🔥
I am not Ghanaian, however I have been to Ghana and will definitely be going back to visit and be engrossed more in their story and culture. Awesome interview. Blessings
Black, African American here (43% Ghanaian & 18.3 % Nigerian, etc). It is good to hear your story, brother. You honor your grandfather, Ghana, and all children of Africa with your gratitude and respect.
Soooo beautiful and wholesome. As a teacher I cannit wait to share this video wirh my students during Black History Month 2025. I come from Cameroon and evety single thing you shared also resonates 100% of my own upbringing
This podcast brought me to tears. I am so PROUD to hear about a positive black story. I am Ghanaian 🇬🇭 and most of my friends in College were from Pakistan 🇵🇰 We shared our culture and food. It was beautiful!! Please claim your Ghanaian side as well. We love to see this… your grandad sounds like mine 😂
Ghana loves you so much, Hakim❤. I tear up listening to your story- how connected you're to Ghana and west Africa and speaking proudly of our humanity. I wish i could meet you when you are here.
Damn this guy is explaining clearly the african identity. Being black does not depend on the colour of your skin but of your heart. His heart is black african. I have to give respect to his speech. The way his grand father influenced him is genuine. The little ghanaian accent is nice. We can be all blacks but different. Don’t think we are the same cause we have many identites cultures way of life. As west african i feel closer to a ghanaian than to a jamaican or an antillan.

Sometimes I think you Africans deserve to loose Africa. History has taught you nothing and you deserve whats coming.
I love it! Grew up with my Sierra Leonean grandmother who left us at the age of 97. Grandparents are treasures💞

Value yourself. I dont worship or prioritize people based on color. I am well of that

From 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Wow very inspirational story indeed.. I live in the UK, Northampton to be precise.. although I was born in UK, schooled in Ghana growing up attended boarding school there but been back for some 30+ yrs so I can very much relate. My experience in Ghana made me resilient!Appreciate you sharing your story.. just shared your channel with my daughters who were born and bred here in the UK. I think your story will motivate them more as they always say I am too pushy and they don’t like the pressure so now they can understand me.. I just want the best for them.
You have a good point, but try bring them to Ghana for holidays. Let’s them know their roots and culture ❤
I am a Ghanaian and l live in us. Your grandfather behavior reminds me about my dad. One of the best gifts from God is my dad.
Ghana is a beautiful country. The people of Ghana are amazing, and I am a proud Ghanaian.
We love you, man. Ghanaians are happy to receive all humans. Our doors are always open. 😊
Be part of this year's homecoming in December.❤

Out of the millions of platforms on RUclips I love ❤️ this platform more than any other platform ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Much love for u from Ghana 🇬🇭
A beautiful man with a beautiful message. Thank you for platforming him.
This was refreshing to watch. How you narrate your experiences with your grandfather pulls us in and it’s so relatable to our own experiences with our Ghanaian parents. All through the video i kept smiling and thinking about your grandad and imagined him beaming with smiles and pride over your achievements and how well you speak of him. ❤❤🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
Long live Ghana 🇬🇭, long live Africa. Im proudly Ghanaian and Hakim, Ghana loves you ❤
Oh wow 😊I'm very touched hearing Hakim speak of his upbringing and embracing of all the beautifully mixed cultures he was blessed to have grown up with. Y'all just gained a new Subscriber🇭🇹
I am so happy Hakim that you got to experience that part of your Ghanaian West African world. You are such a fine young man and I am proud of you for telling it as you experienced it. ❤️
Nigerian and Ghanaian rivalry just exist on the internet
Just for the clouts😅
We love them. They love us.
We are one and we love each other no matter what jollof will cause😂😂😂😂
Facts💯👍🏽 🇬🇭💖🇳🇬
This is touching to listen. Ghanaians love you right back, Hakim. Thanks for highlighting the great values and virtues from West Africa. You are really blessed to have had an African grandfather. I’m a Ghanaian and the training I received from home has transformed my life.
As a Nigerian, this is the most beautiful testimony of an African/Ghanaian influenced upbringing. It really does need to be exposed in this world. This experience of Akeem's is so similar to my own in so many ways. I thank you for the broadcast as it is so identifying. 💯🔥
I am not Ghanaian, however I have been to Ghana and will definitely be going back to visit and be engrossed more in their story and culture. Awesome interview.
Blessings
Get in touch with me and I will take you round
I love my African culture.🇨🇲 🇨🇲 🇨🇲
Black, African American here (43% Ghanaian & 18.3 % Nigerian, etc).
It is good to hear your story, brother. You honor your grandfather, Ghana, and all children of Africa with your gratitude and respect.
So inspiring! you are most welcome Hakim. Hospitality and discipline is what we are as Ghanaians without any prejudice!
Soooo beautiful and wholesome. As a teacher I cannit wait to share this video wirh my students during Black History Month 2025. I come from Cameroon and evety single thing you shared also resonates 100% of my own upbringing
Love conquers all. Ghanaians do not care about colour. We love people wherever you come from.
I know WE ALL needed to hear that. You guys don’t know how you reminded and rejuvenate the power within us. Thank you 💜💜💜
Am watching from Ghana and I love this podcast. 🇬🇭
Not Ghanaian but this really hit home hard for me. Much love my brother , drc Congo
I am watching you from Canada. I love your story. I am a Sierra leonean I have been in Ghana many times
Awesome, I really enjoyed this interview, I teared up at the loss of your Granddad. Kudos to you both🇳🇬
Ghana 🇬🇭 is wonderful west Africa gateway to Africa,great people and very friendly peaceful and welcoming,great story from the brother 🎉🎉
This podcast brought me to tears. I am so PROUD to hear about a positive black story. I am Ghanaian 🇬🇭 and most of my friends in College were from Pakistan 🇵🇰 We shared our culture and food. It was beautiful!! Please claim your Ghanaian side as well. We love to see this… your grandad sounds like mine 😂
I smiled throughout, it was so nice hearing you narrate your story. A beautiful and interesting life journey
Ghana loves you so much, Hakim❤. I tear up listening to your story- how connected you're to Ghana and west Africa and speaking proudly of our humanity. I wish i could meet you when you are here.
As a Jamaican, I really enjoyed this ❤. One love brother ❤️
Damn this guy is explaining clearly the african identity. Being black does not depend on the colour of your skin but of your heart. His heart is black african. I have to give respect to his speech. The way his grand father influenced him is genuine. The little ghanaian accent is nice. We can be all blacks but different. Don’t think we are the same cause we have many identites cultures way of life. As west african i feel closer to a ghanaian than to a jamaican or an antillan.
Wonderful! The voice of Reg lives on! Such a great man. RIP Reg we all loved you. Thank you Hakim this is so great! love from aunty Lucy
I love how you advocated for us❤❤ thank you
