On my goodness, it's so gorgeous. This is not the Africa that was taught about in school. Thanks for bringing us along on this splendid journey. Can't wait to learn and see the work of this organization.
linda b 👏💯👏💯👏💯👏💯
Thank God for social media it's exposing a lot of lies
linda b the school system and the media are intentionally designed to paint Africa very badly, poor, and dirty.
You have to go yourself.
The media and the school system is all lies to keep y’all away ( separating black people)
They fear the coming together of black people so they start to plant false images in your heads in schools.
@@manuinc that's true. They are afraid of the African unity because we can do magic when we became ONE. When am vlogging i share beautiful story of Ghana to the world the African way
@@jaxsonpierre2363 that is the main reason I start vlogging to tell our own stories so no one will say it for us the wrong way
I'm happy to see my brothers and sisters coming back home.
I have been to Ghana 3 times and this video make me want to go there again!
Im going their in a few months so excited to see my BLACK BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE 💕💕💕
Great to know dear. I'm in Ghana. Hit me up when you arrive. +233265390614 is my whatsupp no. Thanks
Wow!!!! Just speechless!! Okay imma need to visit Ghana real soon!!! That view from the hotel is gorgeous!!! That art work!!!! So glad that every thing worked out!!
It is refreshing to see people understanding how things are in Africa especially Ghana. People needs to go out there and experience things themselves. The media will never show you this. Because it undercuts their efforts to solicit money for the poor, which never get to the intended targets. People don’t live in a shithole. Someone might not have everything in life but people are responsible , courteous, clean and respectful.
Wow. Thank you for taking us along on your trip. I didn't know Ghana was so advanced.
Ghana is all over the map...like Queen Mother said: from 5 stars to No stars but one thing that is consistent is the awesomely friendly, polite and gracious people of the land. I hope the videos in the next upcoming days can showcase a little of al of that :-)
You are right. Google about Ghana n it's history.
Dang Ghana look kinda lit. Might have to add it to the list now.
Omg I just booked my flight I am going In 2 weeks for MONTH!! This is sooooooooooooooooo needed! Thank you
Wow...so cool!
Wish I were going as well. Have a wonderful trip!
Hit me up when you arrive in Ghana. +233265390614 is my whatsupp no.
Kobby Kobby sure I will! I’ll arrive with my friends over here in the USA as well, in 2020 winter
Devonne Jackson you're welcome my dear Ghana is waiting for you dear
Right next door to Ghana is the country of The Ivory Coast, another beautiful nation. It is like going from New York to New Jersey.
Ivory Coast and Ghana are basically the same people. they have the same or similar ethnic groups. it was the English and the French who separated them with a physical border
I’m a Ghanaian but I can’t hide the big love I have for that beautiful country Ivory Coast,i will be going in 2019 to visit IVORY COAST 🇨🇮
Yes ,The Ivory Coast is very beautiful and we are related to each other since those colonial boundaries must not define us if we are to unite.
Who would have thought it all that salsa dancing in Ghana! The pool looks like a lake--it's so huge. A great welcome to the motherland. Just a few weeks ago I watched some of Mark Wein's video he did on different food dishes in Ghana. Look out for Banku made from fermented corn and cassava dough cooked in water into a consistent whitish paste served with okra soup. stew or pepper sauce with fish. Looking forward to the series, and maybe we get to see some local food.
Great video you really did a good job showcasing Ghana to the world. What y'all see on TV is not the totality of Africa they dont show you the real beauty of Africa.
The only Continent black skin people will feel at home
"Salsa/Rhumba music" is of African origin as is virtually all music of the universe with "Soulful Rythme".
It is most commonly played by musicians (people) from Congo, Angola, Senegal, Cape Verde and Gabon.
Thanks for sharing your experience in the Motherland.
Our music.. bet
I visited Nubia and the people started singing and clapping for President Sadat birthday. I would have cried if it wasn't the fact that people were around me....I thought I was in a Baptist black church. They double clapped, danced stumped their feet like they were black Americans.
Thanks for taking “us” with you... I felt like I was a part of your journey ❤️ the content and thought that you put into your vlogs... simply amazing 😉 Safe Travels 🛩 always!
Awwww thank you!
I visited in mid July. I fell in love and can't wait to go back. We went as far north as the Volta Region to Wli waterfall and as far along the coast to Cape Coast.
I can't wait to go back either...probably next year. We did Accra (of course), Cape Coast and the village is in the East Region. So beautiful.
THE NEXT TIME MAKE A VISIT TO THE " ONE AFRICA" PLACE OF SISTER IMMAKUS. AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN WHO LIVED IN GHANA FOR 30 YEARS. SHE GOT A BEAUTIFUL RESTAURANT NEAR THE BEACH.
Am an ewe from volta region. Sogakope is alos a very chilled place you can relax. Accra is too streeful for my liking.am Accra born and raised who loves nature. Abuŕi gardens and other chilled Regions in ghana are my hiding place when i need meditation .
Damn! Randy's story got me emotional.
Thanks so much for sharing I want to go to Ghana now!!!

SALSA originated in Africa, which was made popular by Afro Latina from Cuba Celia Cruz The Queen of Salsa. In Angola its called Kizomba ! :-)
Jazz c Kizomba is actually the Angolan version of Zouk music from Martinique and Guadeloupe and Compa music from Haiti
Preach Becky👏🏿👏🏿
What? I was not aware! Thanks for the knowledge.
Very nice video. I was there in August and we had an amazing time. We were in Accra, Kumasi and Cape Coast. We can’t wait to go back.
Renee Johnson I am so jealous of you guys can’t wait to go to Africa
Renee Johnson Ghana is waiting for you dear you're always welcome
Get a land in small town which is so cheap and build your home. You can go to Ghana anytime you want. That's your motherland
I love this!!💕💞 Ghana is in my future list of travel plans.
Oh my goodness!! This made my heart swell! Accra is my late husband's home town his father was a diplomat for Ghana my marriage name is "Mawudeku"!
I teared watching this !! I miss my motherland. Glad you can show the world what a beautiful country Ghana is !
NANA ADOBEA II IS REALLY A HAPPY SOUL WHO IS HAVING A GREAT TIME BACK HOME WITH HER PEOPLE. NANA, THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO FOR YOUR PEOPLE AT KONKO VILLAGE AND GHANA. WE SAY TO YOU AYEKOO(GHANA'S WORD OF SAYING. "WELL DONE").
I could watch this for hours, just awesome.
United would have taken you there direct. glad you took all the medical supplies. Wonderful indeed!! I salute you.
I am sooo glad I found you! Love this!!!
Thank you for sharing your trip!
No matter what you go through as an African always remember a beautiful continent awaits you!
Exactly no matter wat we go through in white mans country Africa awaits for US
So proud of you 👍🏾
I am in awe... Outstanding!
This is beautiful!!!! I cant wait til i can travel with you!!! ❤️
Awww look at you traveling to the Motherland with me...this was such a fun series for me and the trip was practically free.99 thanks to my wonderful friends.
@@FunandBudget yeessss thats the best part! Well besides the experience lol
Y’all KNOW that’s our people how they jumped in and easy followed the dances!! Come onnnn Oh WOWWW!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Btw at 22:30 Queen Mother reminds me of Macy Gray when she is drunk a little 🤣🤣 but my people are so BEAUTIFUL!! You, her, and all the women and men are so muscular and strong and BEAUTIFUL!!!!! ❤️❤️ i love my people oooooo I love y’all!! And they carry the heavy items on their heads!!
Why didn’t you take South African Airways (SA210) from Dulles International, Washington, D.C. (IAD) directly to Accra, Ghana?
This ticket was purchased about a week before I left. Since it was so last minute the difference between the 2 airlines was $2k...and the ticket I had already cost over $2500.
The Fun and Budget Act - WOW! I now understand. I am fortunate in that I booked a round trip ticket from Washington Dulles International Airport to Accra, Ghana in late August for $895.00. I’m scheduled to depart on January 10, 2019. The flight is 10 hours.
Ghana is the most woke/ connected to us. All other countries within Africa you have to convince them you're not rich or lazy! Lol
Not really honey. As an African woman living in USA, I know African Americans are not lazy. You are doing your best but the system here is in a way harsh towards pipo of color. Much love to all pipo of African descent in USA. U are all welcome to Africa. 🙏🏾
@@lionofjudah7627 Thank You so much for welcoming us back home.
Education and knowledge. Don't cry down your fellow Africans. If they don't know, they don't know.
Am ghanaian. I know AAs arent lazy. I understand system racism and many other stuff that keep your people down. Never been to the state but am very much aware of black struggles globally.
Wow beautiful video love all of your energy and spirit especially queen mother
Great video it looks like you had a good time, glad you made it there and back safely.
Beautiful ladys, such a fun party!!! Dance babes 🌻🌺🌻🌺🌻🌺🌻🌺🌻🌺i wanna go there too. I think they have the best music.
I love your videos! I’m looking forward to the rest of your trip.
Come back to Ghana soon
Beautiful Queens👸🏿👸🏿 and kings🤴🏿🤴🏿❤your smiles are priceless ❤🇬🇲🇮🇹
Thank you for the passion and the effort you put into making these videos irresistible. I love seeing you in Africa.
Thank you and I certainly hope to travel more of the continent in 2019. We'll see what happens :-)
@@FunandBudget go ivory coast Abidjan it's a beautiful city yep it's right next to Ghana. Anyway u have long way to go lol it's 54 countries on the continent lol
Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventure, sister.
Every African American needs an opportunity to go to Africa. I wish most of them would just relocate back home. Africa loves you, you have no idea.
Love you all welcome home. Sitters
the queen mother said her name is
NANA ADUBEA 2
Wow
Awesome 👌
Wow, I am so with you for this whole trip! I miss Querin though.
Looks like you're having a lot of fun! Awesome vlog!
Thanks! Just watched your video earlier today too...was sitting there like, I wish a dealership would try to hold my license hostage...LoL then I started daydreaming about one doing that and me just walking out and leaving my license with them and then suing them later...loL - I was at work with too much time in my imagination...LoL
🤣🤣🤣 definitely fun to imagine sometimes!
@@FunandBudget The trick everyone should know is to make a copy of DL and SS when going to dealership so they can't trap you
Amazing, thanks for sharing!
Thinking about writing a movie called '' Coming to Africa ''-- a response to Coming to America.
She reminds me of Tachina Arnold (PAM) in Martin
May I ask. Do you have to do anything special with your Tesla to ensure when you get back to US It won't be completely dead?
Nope...sitting in the garage, it didn't loss any range from when I left. Depending on the weather (too hot or too cold) it could use a few miles of range a day but I've never noticed. Good question tho.
The Fun and Budget Act cool 😎
Afrochella 2019 here I come!
I found this video as well preparing for my trip.
Youre lucky there were no screening or heavy volume boarding issues because you are supposed to be there 3 hours before hand.
I know right...I was a little nervous but so happy everything worked out :-) I cut the part out about why I was running late...LoL My ride was exercising in the rain so was running a little behind...LoL
I would of been all on the dance floor. Looked like fun. I need to find this in DC
Next time do Delta Airline. From JFK straight to Accra Ghana is the way I go. You can also do KLM to Amsterdam Amsterdam straight to Ghana.
My plane ticket was a gift to me...so it was free for me so I had absolutely no complaints...LoL
Watching in 2022 💕
So cool
Woow nice one sis
Kumari is where I am from too.
Beautiful video!
Good
Remember British was there before they take it from now so called White dance salsa.
Lol Your phone case matches your shirt and earrings
I am a retired school teacher, how can I donate my children's books to your program?
💓💓💓💓
Lol you don’t have to say no thank you all the time. Just wait for them to go😂👍
LoL
God bless you
Wow nice place
Very beautiful
Please excuse those of us in America, for 400 hundred years of being stripped of our history, beaten and forced to forget!! Many didn't know, or care to connect... But God is awakening a " Sleeping" people!! Please if you are African in Africa ask " Us" our story, don't take someone who has not walked in our shoes opinion.. If you know nothing of slavery, of this American discrimination try to be sympathetic to our plight!! Slavery was " HELL"!! And that's putting it mildly, and many still suffer from it, it's been passed through generations... Many here hate that side of them... Many are settling for the division of America, because they have no hope... And America is telling it's people now, did you not know your own people sold you to us... Please! Be more understanding of those who can't afford to come and see the " Beauty" of the " Motherland"... Instead keep praying that God will open their blinded eyes
Like 34
Will watch the rest at work lol
That salsa comes from us dear...
Its origins is in angola. A Portigueess speaking african country.
I couldn't believe its Africa am am still thinking if its a hoax or real
Oh...it's real
The first time I travel to Ghana and ivory coast I was wow it this Africa lol. Very beautiful cities I was like western media lies to us about Africa lol. They was like welcome to west Africa.
😕😕😕thats my country.it is not a hoax bro...hahaha
It’s real. I am Diaspora Continental African in UK. Surprisedly majority those who lie about Africa go to Africa for vacation and shop in local markets. Pay a visit,and if you’re African American, Ghana offer easy dual citizenship. I think also Nigeria.
Ford Hanson you can’t believe because you and like so many Americans are brainwashed for so long.
please tell me about the five-star price and the name of the hotel.
The name of the hotel featured in this video is Movenpick in Accra. Check out their website for pricing.
You don't have to be in a 5star hotel in Ghana if you can't afford it. There are many lesser star hotels in Ghana I mean 100s of hotels just Google it tells you the price. That one was Movenpick Hotel Ghana
movenpick
excuse me. is the woman driving you married?
weew......please let me know
thanks
I’m happy that our brothers and sisters has come home. But to us African were use to this it’s not new. Most of us that came from working class or middle class families in Africa leave like this. I’ll be honest when you said this is “Africa guys” I was offended like what did you expect. Then I had to remember I cannot blame you as many have been brainwashed and thank God to social media now you see why the white folks can’t stay out of the continent.
Actually...this was not my first time in Ghana...it was my second. So when I said 'This is Africa, guys'...it was for my many viewers who have not been and believe that Africa is what the American media shows. You shouldn't be so easily offended. I went to the the friggin sand dunes in Oregon and said: This is Oregon, guys. And let me say I have friends from different parts of Africa...and when they came to America for the first time they were in grocery stores posing in the soda aisles because it was the first time they've seen anything like it. We all laugh about it now. There is a first for everyone, everywhere on this planet. My channel is about exploring and showing my audience my view of the world...because believe it or not, but some people never and will never have the opportunity to leave the state they live in.
How are u going to tell us on a video they made u dance and we didn't see a video of it
Its the world of vlogging...someone doesn't always have my camera at every single moment
Hold on they got those little girls at afrkiko club , what?
With their parents always near... and it's kids friendly!
We love to dance ❤️
What’s with the y’all and wannabe southern drawl???
where is the real ghana ? not the tourist site, at least show us the slave spots.
This is not Africa,this European hotel is in Africa!!!
That's fine. Movenpick is a Switzerland brand and as a traveler of the world I have no issue with that. Keep in mind, trade and exchange makes the world go round. Are not African people gainfully employed there? Do Africans not socialize and patronize that business? They are and they do. All is well.
@@FunandBudget If we are about building the economy of Africa, we can not continue to patronize these Europeans business that come to Africa and suck the blood with high costs and low low wages!!!
I'm tired of all the help talk westerners or Americans like to talk about... Invest don't help. It doesn't help.
Invest means what? It's a form of helping, right? Oh yeah we do that too. But in the meantime, what do you and yours do. Contribute rather that criticize the people who are DOING and not just talking about what 'should' be done.
@@FunandBudget actually, your doing a good job... I was rude and just trying to propose that Africa is a business opportunity not a charity case like westerners have thought for like ever...
@@FunandBudget I was rude and on apologetic. It's this whites, chines and other...as shockingly African Americans too. It has been going on too long. Africa needs a new narrative.
I totally understand what you are saying...I see it all the time. But we are actually investing in a village (mainly the lives of children) without a business tie attach. We do this work because these are our children and this is our village and God has linked us up in the most organic way. I do see people from China who stroll through the open markets around the village with their high tech cameras taking pictures of the art and sculptures without permission so that they can go and make exact plastic replicas. I say even when people 'seem' to be investing into a country, we have to be cautious becuase let's be real, that's what got Africa in this mess to begin with. The whole slave narrative was the biggest 'business deal' we know. We are there to help...no strings attached.
@@FunandBudget I finally understand! Now I can say I'm sorry...
Lol stolen from Ghana now you wanna return so they can sell you again hello no. Every video of Ghana I see I keep seeing the house of no return and I can tell from the size of this house it was built legally and to last for the selling of their own brothers.
What?!
You are so confused
Listening no body sold any one oka thay are change the story. The trout was thay took people by force after that thay said African sold there people's to them that is not true. A ware great great mother and father thay were loverys people thay were even want more people how cam for them to sold the little they have that ia not true ok.thanks.
so if they did not sell their own why did they not destroy the house of no return. Its like they did not try attack the house of no return and Destroy the white man slavery base. Am still trying to see how many times was this fortress attacked @@rrymondocthere8765
@@thebestoflondon Would you equally say thesame of Americans celebrating Thanksgiving?🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
If you're part of African history was the real African history, you would've known that while others were plunged into slavery, the natives were left to struggle through wars of resistance and with weapons like spears, daggers, knives, they could absolutely do less like Ethiopia did to resist colonization.
In all, if it makes sense to you, these are artifacts, kept to remind us about history, sometimes, sacrifices are offered in these places (not human sacrifices ) in order to remember those taken away by slavery and those who died in the high seas. We do have the slave trade market in Man O' War Bay (Bimbia) in Limbe , formerly called Victoria in Cameroon.
During canoe races , the inhabitants of Bimbia village and localities always offer sacrifices and prayers before the canoe race. An indication that the lost ones are all in our prayers.
So I'd like you to understand that ancestry means a lot to every African tribe, village, ethnic group, and keeping these facilitates the ritual commemoration of ancestors
2019,year of return
Wow wow can’t wait for 2019, thank you for sharing
You are welcome my dear Ghana is waiting for you dear
Looks so fun!! Get it! That line dancing looks like something I would definitely be doing!!! LMBO!! And the club is open 24-7??? Love it!! Yes I was very surprised to see the Salsa dancing in Ghana!
You got this vacation as a gift????😱 Wow, talk about gratitude! You got some good friends!!!!
Yes...and it was even better than I could have imagined.
GHANA
Dancing is a national pastime in Ghana.
My husband's father is from Accra Ghana. He hasn't been able to back to his homeland for over 40 yrs now. His name is Carl King, just checking out if someone can help us trace his relatives there, we are currently in the Philippines.
If we can know his Ghanaian family name and tribe it will be easier
Love it! I have been to ivory coast never Ghana. I must visit there next. Tfs
Ivory coast is beautiful yall Abidjan
