    I worked with a gentleman from Ghana in the South Bronx about 27 years ago. He had the best reply when I asked him how it was going. He said, "Chief, we are just ordinary people doing extraordinary things." Always had a smile.

    "Hausa koko" is a spicy millet porridge which originates from Northern Ghana. Millet is a very nutritious grain. The GaDangme people of the Greater Accra Region also grow millet. The Akara or Kose donut (doughnut) made from black eyed beans flour (skin is removed before the flour is milled) is also very nutritious. The beans flour is mixed with spices and then fried. The peanuts add protein, and the Akara (Kose) beans donut also has protein! This is a nutrition packed vegan breakfast and it's mildly spicy and delicious! 🙏🏽😊🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭

The fabric area has pretty patterns!!!! The prices are reasonable what's not to like!!!

      Your tour guide wasn’t that informative either. He kept generalizing. The sponge for bathing is just one of what we use to bath. There’re other forms of sponges. He was taking you to almost all the poor places in Ghana. There’s so much in Ghana. I’m sure there’re lots of poor places in Brazil also but the tour guide in Brazil took you to some very nice n exotic places. It was more balanced. There are so many beautiful places in Ghana.

    Wow awesome video....my dad is a onion seller in that market and you were close in his zone, between 7:45 and 7:51. This is a good coverage I think about 30% of it, there is more to this market.
