Watching the chaos in the market alone and still have relatively small Corona cases.. Africa is really blessed
Please watch the commercials too, dont skip. Acheampong family are doing amazing job, support them please
🥰
The African women is a machine. She is mightily created by God, God created her excellently with strength. Amazing, extremely strong.
Kevin a challenge for and your family want you to start a crusrade on plastic because it has blighted the land escape of Ghana cities, towns and villages as you plastic takes over 5to years to decompose at least a little part.will start something your know.
To be honest they are really not machines, and no stronger than women of other communities, but for the sake of keeping it short they're often in circumstances where they have to persevere regardless of how vulnerable they are feeling, whereas other women have some level of protection/ shielding/people willing to relieve them. So rather than see them as "machines" and power houses we must see them as women who make the best of what they have.
So all the more reason why they should be given a break and doted on - let's make this an aim to consider resting time for the African mamas in our communities rather than see the struggle and somehow see it as a badge of honour, for husbands to offer to cook and let the wife rest when he sees how tired she is? I wouldn't want my own mother to have to work too hard and don't wish it on anybody
@@chasingthesun90 well said, but a greater honour is for us who are blessed beyond this level of existence to go there and be a blessing to them. Lets build our people because our people are a reflection of us.
We should not go there and be bargaining with them especially when we have the means rather we should be a blessing to them. Buy whatever you want ro buy from them and give them a gift of 200 cedis or 500 cedis. That amount could move that person a step up the chain. She can start her own business with that small to us but very significant amount to him or her. Nobody will ever build African but us and until we do that when we travel outside and we say we are Africans, they will never regard us as human beings. Lets kill the selfishness and begin to think beyond ourselves.
@@chasingthesun90 I agree, how can we make her rest? Suggestions? In the western world she could be helped but in our world how?
@@cheendo7400 to be honest that's a big question that can be answered on different levels, I'm not sure I have all of them. The quick item is by putting them as the centre of attention regularly, investing and believing in them. As an African or black person how do we respond to the pain and vulnerabilities of black women in a culture that may not necessarily encourage counseling for example? And for men? So kindness, respect and compassion on an individual level. At the same level or more than what we offer to those different to us. As with the comment above about freely paying a premium this may not always work as with the hustle mentality they've been brought up on, it may be better to put the spotlight on this by providing better opportunities than throwing cash at them; so encouraging initiatives that promote women being financially independent and how to scale your business? Encouraging and sponsoring attainment of a higher level of basic education (up to 16-18 years ideally) - a lot of NGOs are on the ground doing this. So there can be some finesse and upgrading of the products and services they come to the market with, so they know their rights and they can protect their ideas, innovation - to know they can file a patent or trademark? To be confident to look beyond today and know that should she be resourceful she can dominate her industry like the women on this list www.delish.com/food/a19578168/women-owned-food-businesses/?
So short term for those already in the circumstances, as a customer - patronizing of business (maybe through long term contracts). Teaching and connecting them to NGOs who can guide them in scaling and protecting their business, product refinement/development.
As a loved one, knowing they're unlikely to ask, so proactively taking some of the load off - cooking, cleaning, washing. Do not ask just do it.
Long term, having ambition for the girl child (and our boys too) . It's not normal for a child to be selling at the market on a Wednesday afternoon. They should be at school. Initiatives to outlaw child labour, holding our government accountable, more investment and care for quality of education provided in state run schools, to have ambition for the next generation. A big conversation as I said - this needs a think tank and a conference 😂😁👌
The bearer with her baby in the back. 👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾.
"If wealth was the inevitable result of hard work and enterprise, every woman in Africa would be a millionaire".
True indeed.
Sometimes fate and destiny take toll on ppl's live, that's why hard working isn't a guarantee for success and affluence.

Well said
Sweet baby 😘
Ghanaians are so peaceful and friendly! Much love from America
oo
p
Hard... working... ladies
Nothing is different from the markets here in Trinidad and Tobago..I love going to market! also wow...the lady carried a child on her back and load on her head effortlessly..wow, wow, wow!
Kevin’s beauty instantly causes the price to be raised lol. Thank God auntie was there!
You think so? Mostly it's where you buy the foodstuffs. There are places that are expensive no matter what and vice versa
yeah I heard they called him obroni
Exactly
@Rashaenka it’s not based on his skin colour it’s based on him being a foreigner you can be a dark skinned person and speak with an accent and they will call you an obroni
@Rashaenka that is how Ghana market is. You can ask for reduction but if you are a shy person you will just pay and go. This isn't racist. You can go to different places and the price will be very cheap. They create their own prices
Love this The lady carrying the child and all the items brought tears to my eyes they are such hard workers I can’t wait to be there in Ghana🙌🏽🇺🇸✈️🇬🇭🙌🏽❣️
Hardworking people indeed.
Love how she introduced Kevin as her Son😊😊
In our culture your siblings children are your Children also.
@@africasfinest52 Yes In the Pacific Islands too
Ttgg
This channel should pass 50k by end of the year
Amen 🙏🏽
Omg I cannot even stopped commenting on how cheap everything is in our beautiful country 😋😋😋
Your aunty is a very wise woman. In the West people would prefer to drive to the market even though it’s in walking distance - all the creature comforts make us lazy and reliant on things like cars when we should be exercising instead of choosing the easy route.
Things are unbelievably cheap compared to many of the markets in the West - I wish I could be there soaking up that natural vitamin D. I hate the cold and the lockdowns within my city. The people seem much more happier than in the West, even they’re dirt poor! No one
hardly smiles here - you have to know a person really well before they will let you into their inner circle so to speak.
Thanks for sharing your latest video blog of life in Ghana 🇬🇭 I would love to meet you all and your family one day.
❤️
Where are you? Whoa! Sounds damn depressing 😫😒
@@andromedab902 In England where it is cold, dull and grey!
@@Dirtyvinyl23 exactly the same thing here in the 🇳🇱 Netherlands! The people are so depressed while they act proud. They are scared or "worried" bout any single thing. The people are also verry distracted from others, not so helpfull
@@jaxtrax7173 I know exactly what you mean! Everyone seems so individualistic and caught up in their own little world to even notice what’s taking place outside their front doors 🚪
I miss Mama Africa I'm from Ethiopia 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
Can I say Auntie is so gorgeous. She look just like my aunt. 💕
❤️
I love the way the women in the market are so happy after all their hustle. I can't stop laughing
So much peace in Africa,no Gun violence,no racial tensions,no need for hashtags.
I really love my people. Proud to be African.🇬🇭my motherland
We love too, from Tamil Nadu, India.
Awesome people 😍
This is what make Africans unique and exceptional ..much love from Uganda🇺🇬🇺🇬
Wow. This brought back so much memories. My mum never went to the market without me and I miss the way the market women used to call me their husband or tell my mum they'll give me their daughters if they had one.😂
My God! Ghanaian women are very hardworking. I couldn’t believe that lady carried such heavy load on her head at the same time carrying a baby on her back. May God bless them in their everyday struggle to survive.
Struggle to survive, yet 'God' should bless them in their Struggle to survive.... which 'God'?
@Queen Shamera: Whatever God or deity they believe in. They are very hard hardworking.
In Zimbabwe its the same,young girls are taught how to balance a load on their heads without touching it.When my sister was young,she could carry a gallon of water on her head and walk without using her hands to balance it.Its good to see that we are not abandoning our culture in favor of Western styles.
Lol...ladies were so proud of Kevin speaking Twi when he told them "medaase (thank you)...their smiles😊
And everything is ORGANIC!!
Wow the lady is very strong, I want to donate small money for this lady, I’m so sad to watch her carrying this heavy load with her child at her back. Pls find this lady for me. She is super women
Agreed
Good thought from india
One reason why the women age well averagely than the men. Every fibre of muscle in the body is strained and fit.
A 50 year old is as strong as a 30yr old here.
You find a lot of them here...usually you can just give them something to support whatever they re doing.. the problem is they are many
OMG I use to go to this market when I was in Ghana 😂 and I saw someone I know
As as child growing up in Jamaica I used to carry things on my head from the farm and bucket of water. This Bearer is strong, she is earning money for her family. When I move to Ghana I will have a trolly to pull, I would feel right having someone carry my things.
KEVIN THESE WOMEN WANT TO BE ON THE CAMERA SOO BAD ITS FUNNY 😂😂😂
They are just friendly 👌
Here in Ghana, radio & tv stations in Kumasi come to the market every week to interview the women for economic news... it's normal
🙏 MAMA 🌍 AFRIKA
Love this video....authentic Ghana life! I lived in Ghana for a year, but been away too long! Brings back memories
Come home aunty !
Salute to the lady with her baby.👏👏. A mother can do anything to feed good to her baby.
Wow! That's alot of plantains at the market.
I enjoyed just hearing the lively background sounds of a vibrant Ghana market...Africa ASMR ❤️ Thank you.
Oh yessss!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼♥️♥️♥️♥️
They happily pose for pictures because they know your auntie and don't feel threatened or stiff. Lesson for those RUclipsrs who say people don't like to be filmed. It's all in the approach.
Very true
@@AnnaAcheampong They should allowed to be filmed it will bring them more buyers, Al's we gets to know each other. I satisfy with a video something good to watch
@@imongwaniipindiid-korttiso6726 how will it bring them that..? People are gonna order from Ghana to the Uk? I don’t understand
@@KathleenEd just deleted your comment! If you travel to Ghana buy own food from there! Yes Africans can sell their own goods even to Eulope by themselves 🖤💛! Southern Africa also will starts selling own meat with in Africa and everywhere they can buy! In UK don't you have African restaurants? If you have then their orders from African continent! I could order from Namibia and pay got it but there is no plane now
@@imongwaniipindiid-korttiso6726 you changed your comment tho..I mean that’s a reason but I thought you were talking about people in the diaspora
This fam needs more subs
Togther we will get there 😊
I pray u will get there to be able to earn enough money so you wont wish to go back😍😍😍
Let me just do that🛎
Kevin is blessed with good looking family genetics
My brotha ✊🏾Man this changes the game right here!! Aunty, Madasse! 🙏🏾
African women keep Africa going. Hard working people, just like all black country in the Caribbean.
Achampong family you make me cry today to see my mother back home and how they are happy trying to earn the day Mel. Thank you
mother's thankyou
❤️❤️❤️
I spent $56 dollars today and got 1/10th of what Aunty got! She even has my fav Bofruits!!!
Hmm this video put me in tears 😭 my mum used to sell in a market like this. She passed away exactly two years ago this month
Im sorry kwame
So sorry for your loss. May her soul rest in peace 🙏
My deepest condolences
May she rest in peace
Hmmm 3y3 Asemoo paaa ooo God strength u bro
This is making me so nostalgic, I can’t wait to go back home to Kumasi 🥰 Acheampong family keep them coming we love them ☺️ 600 years of blessings for you
Our African cities have a level of energy and life that you can only find in cities like New York, the best is that we don't need sky scrapers and stuff ...Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience in Ghana !
Those women are so strong. Carrying all those goods in the heat as well!
I’m a Kumasi girl, missing Ghana 🇬🇭. Nice video
This reminds me of the market in Jamaica , I tell you man the apple dont fall far from the tree
It sure doesn’t 🇬🇭 🇯🇲
But there is exception to that if that falling apple was hit by hurricane it may fall miles away too🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
After watching the video I was just about to make the same comment. It sure reminds me of market day in the Caribbean where you can get everything you want.
I just said the same thing
Great filming! It gaves a cinematic feel. 👏🏾 And, that woman was able to carry ALL THAT FOOD on the top of her head. My goodness. That's strength for real. Whew
Such an amazing market of distinctiveness of Africa! I have never been to West Africa, but that region seems totally different from the rest of the world. Keep up the good work, mate. Cheers from Tokyo, Japan!
I love the authenticy of your channel, the education you are giving to the world and genuine live you have for your African heritage. God bless the Achampeong family!
Sorry I spelled your name wrong 😃
Admired the woman,she hold kid on back and bore food stuff on head.
How wonderful !!
Earning money for family she have to patient.
Love their food stuff are so big size natural and cheap price.
Like to see the way of real life in Africa,thanks for uploading this clip explore ...👍🌾🌿
Cheers fm Thailand 🥰
❤️❤️❤️
She is not earning money for her family but to survive, she left the village as a girl because of poverty and ended up in the city looking for work, many of these girls work at the markets and have babies whilst still young
At least in RUclips I can see the other side of the world stayed safe everyone/from US Here
Hahahaha those anuties were super crushing on Kevin. Your wife better watch out. But that lady carrying the goods as her job is wonderful. Doing that with a baby on her back. African women are truly the hard workers in Africa. The foundation and backbone of the continent. I seriously salute them.
So true.
Now I miss home Nigeria...all market setting is the same...between you must buy puffpuff when you go to the market after the shopping things 🥰...I miss that.
The African women works so hard to earn a living, God Bless them with long healthy life
African women are very strong! I enjoy watching this video. Thanks Kevin 🙏
Kevin am not sure if your aunty knows the lady that carried groceries for her, well if she does is there anyway I could donate money to help her? Doing that kind of hard physical labor while carrying a baby is absolutely incredible and I think she deserves all the priases and help she can get.
Hi Fred contact me Acheampongadventures@gmail.com
Wow Africa market look at fresh food
I MISS AFRICA SOO MUCH
😂😂😂....your aunt’s pidgin is on point “ sugar dey inside “
Actually I've tried it. Carrying stuff on your head is easier. You don't feel the weigt as much.
Hmmm it's not as you think dear,
I would like u to try it in the market every day from morning to evening as she is doing as work for about one week I bet you dear, you will feel it. Even though she is old and carrying a child too.
@@davidasamboaatanbire8652 I hear you but here the comparison is between carrying a load on your head and carrying with your hands. I do not dispute that what she's doing is tough.
And the smiles on their faces
All is fully organic the natural fruits oh my ghana i love it ❤️👏👏
Ladies are so friendly!
Pure, innocent and natural life human as it started at the beginning of society. Very lovable to watch.
The lady said Yeee ye3 ko abochiree🙆♀️🤭🤣😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Yiee yɛɛkɔ Abrotsri" means, Hey we're travelling abroad. Happy 😊 people.
Beautiful people, healthy good natral foods, strong women, the vendors seems happy🍌🍍🍊🍇🍈🙌
Africa is a blessed continent.Look at how happy all our mothers in the market are you can never see this in the states.
Simple people with simple living style. No credit card, no debit card. No complications and no tension. You can see, people are smiling. This is the reason, people are happy over here.
@Stefi unfortunately every one believes that his own religion is the only true religion and other are not true religion..
🇬🇧Wowwwwwww.....she carried all that food on her head with a baby on her back!!!!!
It happens all over Africa,in Zimbabwe they balance loads on their heads without using their hands.
@@lemigod4475 amazing
Somehow normal to them
Thanks for taking us along. I am enjoying the family experiences. I hope to one day visit. Maybe I will get to meet you. 🥰
Kelvin please next time only capture our market women, the way they really want to be captured is heartwarming. By the way I miss micah pls show him in ur next videos. Thanks ❤️❤️
You guys really bring back a lot of childhood memories. Thank you for all you do
@7:34 The women selling the onions and green pepper said you are taking them to Europe 😄😄😄
🤣🤣🤣
Amazing... beautiful culture. Your aunt reminds me of my grandmother. The strength of an African woman is unmatched❤️ I can’t wait to visit.
Wow. To carry all that on her head was amazing. Love the market. Something we don't have in north America.
Ant is very beautiful. God bless our Mothers
Your auntie is so beautiful!!
Wow,this was an excellent vlog Kevin.Its your most watched video to date,its shows authentic Ghanaian life and culture,Yes Ghana is developing,building and modernizing,but its also great to see that other parts of the Country are retaining their traditional ways,food and culture.This was an excellent video,great job Kevin.
My childhood came flashing in my eyes. I l know this market place very well. My mom used to send me there to buy stuff for the family by mainly walking on foot.
Going to traditional markets like this is a lot more fun than the place in the supermarket
I heard the market women calling Kevin obroni meaning Whiteman . the food is more cheaper than you think but the beauty and white nature of Kevin rob the market women of words. at one point they increase the price for his aunty. his aunt would have bought them even more cheaper. the market women want to come inside that whitemans camera. very interesting and funny.Kevin is charming and attracting the market women. their attention is not specifically on His aunt but on Kevin.
It simply means a Westerner,even if you are Black and you come from the West they will call you that term.In Zimbabwe where I am from,they call me ''Mukaradi'' even though I was born there and moved to Australia as a teenager.Each time I go visit they call me that term,even though I am black like then,it has more to do with living in Western Culture so I am no longer in loop with my culture,so they call me ''Mukaradi'' It means a mixed race person,or someone who is Black,but not Black enough lol!
I wish to go there one day! I would like to buy everything so that they can go home to care for their kids. God bless us all. Amen🙏
I love this VIDEO! It shows the authenticity of every day life.
African Woman really healthy and Physically very strong 😀😀😀😀❤❤❤
I love the back to back content... amazing

Salt fish 🐠 is a way of preserving fish before the arrival of freezers.
Hausa Koko is a Grey Millet porridge, it's spiced often with Ginger, Cloves, Soh aka Negro Pepper, aka Selim and other spices. It's called Hausa Porridge because it was made popular by the Hausas.
It's not "BOFRUIT" it's African doughnuts, locally called BOAT FLOAT, because of the way it floats on top of the oil when being fried, Nigerians call it puff puff.
Did anyone notice the Aunty bought two different types of plantain? One is called "Apim" which is mainly boiled and eaten with stew, but can be fried, baked/roasted/grilled and it's tastier and slightly more expensive than the other that is called "Apantu" that is used for "fufui/fufu, but can also be fried, grilled, roasted, baked, and then with other ingredients turned into plantain fritters, = Tatare, or Kaakro, Asaanku, or Ablongo or Bodongo = Plantain Bread, and
Asaanku = plantain cake and other plantain dishes.

Omg see how cheap these foods are and the sellers are even begging auntie to buy it ☹️and we buy 3 plantains for £1 in England 🏴
They ship these to the uk so it’s still cheaper than other European countries. During Spring/summer, you often get a bowl of 5-19 plain tans for £1
It's even £1.50 for 3 in Manchester but some of Ghanaian's want Mr JM to come back ooooo y3wooooo😂😂😂😂
In Dubai its higher

They're looks so good. Always smiling. Perseverance. Happy women's month all of you.
I just love market vlogs,Aunty and Kevin you both did a fantastic job.
Just came back last week and I’m homesick already can’t wait to go back again next year 😩
Consider relocation. Consider a small business that will make you money and allow you to be a blessing to mother Ghana. God bless you.
My dear it took me 6 months to somehow get over being homesick and wanting to pack up and just appearing in Ghana 🇬🇭. I don’t envy you at this point but I wish you quick recovery. Our Goal is to put up something fast and return back. Much love ❤️!

Normally, Kumasi is less expensive than Accra. Everything in Accra is expensive, that's why. Don't compare Kumasi to Accra
Praise God for strength... love Africa. When I visit.. got to go the market. Strong woman
I enjoyed this video so much. The market women were so funny 🤣🤣
