I need help finding connections to get proper help to visit Ghana. To buy property to move permanently
I put moving on hold for a moment, but I'm now looking heavily at moving there.
What type of checklist should I start with and what should I prepare for
I moved from Houston to North Carolina and now I'm trying to prepare myself to move to ghana just don't know were to start
Some ppl romanticize Ghana as being cheap and easy economically. However, that is only true for the average person if you are making a U.S salary from a U.S job. That holds true for any place that an American goes around this world. It's so easy to boast about how cheap and easy it is when a U.S salary is being brought to the table. If it's so easy to live in all these other countries then all their citizens would be living easy breezy. However…… we can not deny the freedom Tony has.
I was in Ghana june and july and august and could not find expat lodge in tema and no contact numbes no one knows where it is can you explain
Geez, a little horrifying to hear Tony rip the mask off and let his racism against hardworking, industrious Chinese and Korean entrepreneurs run wild. Bad look chief, maybe pray on that one.
How is physical/rape, mental, verbal, starvation, kidnapping, no water, no electricity, no food, eat cold food abuse, monetary theft, bribery to an Afrikan woman who is birth and born Amerikan, a Diasporan , how do I approach and seek protection so that I could return to Kumasi Ghana to divorce him and reclaim ALL of my sanity and personal items and all items belonging to me? Which is everything I had cargo shipped or purchase before a disastrous fake ceremony of embarrassment. He didn't even have a bed for me to lay on when I arrived. What advice or direction could you assist me with to get help? I have been so sad and depressed. What advice could you help me if any? Please 🙏
I think the ghanain economic collapse is a definitive indicator that the the bubble has bursted
I'm trying to find the website for the Lodge.
Wow. Expat life Ghana is absolutely the best. Very secure and loving.
I agree with you Tony the feeling of PEACE total PEACE is unbelieveable
If the establishment are charging in dollars then they are aiming to atract the American customers if that is so then their standard has to reflect this. Ifrther more you leave America because you were not happy so stop comparing Ghana with America Please if you want Chick fo Lay sandwiches with Ghana sandwiches I live in the UK been to the US several times and I still don't know what a chick fo lay Sandwich is my friend. People in the US and the UK move to Ghana/Africa and want ALL the convenhences of the US .UK. Start a business and train your staff to brovide Good western services but remember if you ask people to do ,ore then you have to pay more.
Thank you for all the information you share. You both are a true blessing to us in America that's thinking about going back home to Africa.🙏🏽
Sorry mam I love your man ❤ he is so positive
Ayo you look beautiful. Love that jacket.
ITS THE SAME AS BEFORE
I love that u guys are just as excited abt ghana today as u were 4 years ago
Tony looking extra Ghanaian today
The light off is because of the upcoming elections this November yall should not worry. Is all politics
Ghana is the best west African country you can ever stay at. Their democracy is top notch.
Thank you for the update
In Ghana it can be all day worries as opposed to the U.S. big spot worries. It’s worries about land, renting and home building and maintenance in Ghana, oh and general services fair pricing, which can be tedious and exhausting. In America you have the big bad events but aren’t a concern if you stay out of the way for the most part.
Ghana has gross economic disparity. And the illegal mining in the North is problematic and is poisoning the water supply in the Eastern part of the Northern Region. There is a chinatown in Northern Ghana. Lastly, the music now has the N-word in it…..smh. I now have mixed feelings about going.
You are right about the lack of quality service which is due to countless reasons. One thing we should keep in mind is that service workers in Ghana make very little which affords them a much lower standard of living than their counterparts in the US. We would encounter similar issues in the US as well under similar circumstances. Thanks for keeping us updated on Ghana!
As a matter of fact, Ghana does not owe Nigeria $300 million. That is palpable false. Ghana has never owed Nigeria $300 million ever in the history of Ghana – Nigeria gas supply transaction. The biggest amount Ghana has ever owed nigeria is $160 million only, and that was in 2021 That was not even the reason they cut the gas supply to Ghana, they were doing their planned maintenance work according to ECG and Gridco. And everyone living in Ghana knows that the exercise did not affect Ghana in any way. Ghana has rather had constant power supply since that time till now despite the gas supply cut by Nigeria. I don't remember the last time my light went off after the Release was made, at least in my area. This is a fact that everyone living in Ghana can attest to.
As far as Investment, vacation and retirement. If Im wanted or appreciated that matters. Its unreasonable to expect to be welcomed in Ghana?
Good evening to you both, I've always considered living abroad for my retirement years. Have you met anyone that is 60 or above that have made that transition? Its almost seems that I've may have waited too late? Your opinions please, thank you.
I did not get to watch this live but I did watch today and felt I had to respond to the critic by the person who said this group was 'opportunistic' and only trying to take advantage of people. NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER from the truth! I do my vetting and when I first started considering a trip to Ghana, this was a channel I happened upon. Both my husband and I appreciated the specific details about travel and the honesty. When we actually had a plan to travel, it was Tony I reached out to. I will share that I was still a bit anxious (taking his caution that in Ghana people say not to trust anyone completely:-) but as my plan progressed and then came to fruition, I learned more about this group, the company and the people in it. We spent our first day in Ghana with Mr. Ben who escorted us to church, took us for a brief tour of Accra, took us to one of the few market stalls open on Sunday and took us to a beach hotel for a restroom break and a brief visit at the beach. THIS WAS FANTASTIC!!! He was extremely kind, personable and reassuring. We shared some of what we knew or had learned in other travels and he helped us make the connection to the experiences of life in Accra and Tema. It was a FANTASTIC first day! So — just let me reiterate what others have said — Expat Life Ghana is trustworthy and reliable and any suggestion to the contrary is a falsehood.
Second, I would say that Tony and Ayo, on this channel, have been extremely honest about sharing their lived experience – which makes them an expert in their lived experience! Will everyone have the same experience? No. But everyone comes with their own set of baggage and preconceived ideas, and financial constraints (or not) and expectations from a country that may be extremely unrealistic. I had not been to the continent but I have traveled in the Caribbean quite often and have learned the difference between a 'tourist mentality' and a 'local mentality'. Tony and Ayo have stressed the difference between the two which is extremely important!
Third, I would like to emphasize strongly something that Tony says often but it will sound strange coming from me — a white Italian-American woman. I traveled to Ghana with my husband (who is African American) for the first time last August. I was concerned about how I would be received and I was concerned about how WE would be received (as a couple). I was reassured by people on the facebook page that in Ghana we would be accepted for the most part (although we would both be foreigners in the country). This was true. The only people I found challenging were some of the other people from the U.S. we encountered during our travels. I would also like to say that after I got over my travel anxiety (which I get no matter where I travel), I felt COMPLETELY at home in the country. Was it 'just like home'? No. But I will say that the feeling that Tony describes is exactly how I felt even though as a white person I was really not entitled to feel that way. When we got off the plane, my husband was greeted by a Ghanaian with "Welcome Home" — he has shared that story numerous times because he DID feel like he was home in so many ways even though, yes, we were definitely foreigners!
We didn't take anything for granted – we were guests in a country – we tried to always be respectful and patient and express thanks for any assistance we were provided. I learned a small amount of Twi to be able to say a few things if I needed to — the most important being Medaase – thank you.
The ONLY concern we had was access to good health care — we weren't concerned about getting appointments with qualified people, but we were concerned with emergency treatment as we both have underlying health issues. Watching the traffic jams in Accra did not reassure us that we would make it a hospital quickly and hearing about ERs we had concerns about receiving proper treatment quickly. Other than that, we would have done a deep dive into at least a semi-permanent opportunity to live somewhere away from the daily stress oif U.S. political and social issues.
I will take this opportunity to thank Tony and Ayo for helping us on our journey and for enriching the experience for us! We may not be moving, but we are hopeful for a return to Ghana in the near future!!
I hope that Ghana continues to grow. But, I have no interest in moving back.
Hello,
You guys never talk about the large slums in Ghana.
Tony & Ayo can you post another video on the cost of living in Tema, Ghana. You posted one 5 years ago, however, I understand it’s gotten more expensive since then
Tony I will be in Ghana later this month for 3 months.
Will be there August through late.November needs a place to stay for 3and1/ 2months🇻🇮🇻🇬🇬🇭⛱️
If one looks up where America ranks in the most dangerous/violent/dangerous countries, it may just shock you. The ranking is extremely high sadly compared to other countries including the mother land.
Ghana once worked until the soldiers came to taste politics and Ghana has been toast ever since. These days, opportunistic lazy minds have taken over politics. Unfortunately, everything has gone south with Ghana. We have no leaders. Our leaders are doing the bidding of the West to keep Africa stalled.
Thanks for sharing!😊
There's definitely neighborhoods in the US with cages on ac units lol. The exact same things you see in developing nations can absolutely be found here
Can u join if ur already there?
Do you all fly to the park? It’s far from Accra.
Watching from Texas USA
There's always opportunity for those who dare. 45yrs in America, you can't pay me a billion dollars to go back there. Enjoyed my time but the future is elsewhere, certainly not America.
I will be in Ghana in August 2024. I planned to make initial arrangements to move to Ghana, but I do not believe Ghana wants the Expats in Ghana. They are making everything so difficult! This includes the leasing of land rather than being able to purchase. Why move from the US to Ghana and be treated as a foreigner? Might as well buy more property in the US. The immigration process is insurmountable.
What 0:41 excellent perspective & information & feedback from both of you. Thank you
Ghana was established in 1957. NATO launched a coup to oust the first president for his Pan Africanist views, pushed the nation into military rule & coups. J Rawlings in 1996 decided to set Ghana right and it has paid off but the colonial struggles are still there and issues with governance too. I'm not Ghanaian but I respect their poise.
