as a black american i can't wrap my head around a shopping mall where 90% of the people look like me... its blowing my mind... that has to be the most beautiful moment to experience that for the first time
You...hit the nail on the head. As a black person from the UK going to Africa for the first time was a life changing experience...for the the first time in my life I felt like I was somewhere where I belonged; it felt like home. I could walk the streets and was no longer a minority, everyone looked like me. I have visited several countries since and it is my ambition to one day move there permanently. I think everyone of African decent should visit the motherland at least once in their lives...it my not have the same impact it had on me, but it will change you forever.

Selendria Muganogo I'm from amerikkka too. I will make my 1st trip to Ghana in October. Arrangements are made. I'll likely come back to the u.s. & cash out & move to Africa for life. I'm divorced, so hope to find a wife in Africa & start anew. Hope U make that trip. From the midwest, my fare thru S.African Airlines was only $1450 RT & an AirBnB can be as cheap as U need & plenty to choose from.
poor or rich ,we are still happy and have a very peaceful land,we dont need to be rich to be a great Nation,
We ghanaians are naturally blessed with good and friendly citizens .
you all haters are just being ignorant and envious ,but we still appreciate your comments thanks.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE VIDEO
much love from Nigeria
potassiumb1 Yea with that attitude, good luck being the doormat of Europeans. Asians understood that you need power so that your nation can decide it's own matters, without western inteference. No wonder there are rarely women presidents lol. Unless she is like Merkel or the South Korean president, most women presidents would ot their nations in danger of being economically colonized.
tell them Girl, it is time for the new Ghana, a new Africa and noBody is stopping us..
@@ReactwithRandy much love from Ghana..🤛
Keep up the good work Ghana... I'm from Los Angeles, California and my first international trip will be to Ghana.... BLACK POWER!!!
Cory Brown good choice
Cory Brown Come to Ghana bro, you are always welcome back home.
Be there to go Ghana love the people , cultures I had so a lovely time.
please go very nice people there. looking forward to going back there.
The background music is very nice. Ghana, to me, a country awaiting to be flourished through its natural resources and cultural heritage. Especially, their football amazed me. May God bless Ghana.
How d'you mean its "cultural heritage"?
+Sadhan Basu Not only Ghana, but most if not all African countries.

I have a friend from Accra Ghana who's taking me on a vacation to Ghana in two years! I can't wait I'm so excited! Ghana Looks Like a very nice place!
Something Nice did you go on Ur trip to Ghana and what do you think
well, both segments are indeed Ghana. I didn't see anything particularly demeaning about the first part, neither was I in awe with the second. Ghana is a great country that I travel to at least once a year, and I embrace all of it. But the real wealth of Ghana? it's people...
You said it just right!
You are SO right!
Thank you for show us another side of the story that never appear on TV. Greetings from Spain.
you are welcome
Why would it appear on tv though
My first trip to Africa was to Ghana. I thought I would see some huts and lions walking down the street. I know, stupid of me. I was amazed at this place. I went to 2 comedy Plays at the National theatre. I went to the Mall. I saw some houses at Trasacco Valley that will simply amaze you. I saw nice hotels. the food was great. Restaurant were classy. It was very exciting. It's still a 3rd world country but, I could easily live there.
oh gosh! so you tryna tell us you were expecting your flight to land in the jungle??

You worked there to rob our people of their resources.

I feel like Ghanians are more reserved and friendly than Nigerians, Nigerians are more loud and outgoing
Africa is on the rise and there's no stopping us now
keep going brother love from the Hawaiians and Pacific islanders.
I don't care how western countries see Ghana their opinion means nothing to me.
That Goes DOUBLE For Me Bro! I'm With Ya On That One!
That goes triple for me too!
But the thing is, it means something to most of the western population. That's why we need to do something about this that will benefit Ghana.
I know a Jamaican brother that moved to Ghana from England he describes Ghana as "The land of gold and diamonds beautiful in its features, generous in her kindness to her children who were taken from her" I agree with him. I am sorry I don't agree with you; why should we waste time begging these people to like us? I really don't care what white people think of Ghana again their opinion means absolutely nothing to me, if you don't believe me take a trip to Ada Foah its near Afloa and you'll see what I'm talking about. On the way plenty of wild edible plants Ada has good beaches. There are allot of rich whites living there and I don't see them packing their bags and leaving anytime soon..
Without the inventions of white western nations, Africa would still be stuck in the stone age.
Not bad Ghana. Greetings from Honduras
I'm proud to be a Ghanaian.
Africa is beautiful and Africans are very friendly and adorable people
God bless you my brother
Not africa, Ghana
Ghana... I said. Ghana is doing much better than the rest of Africa. They have embraced capitalism, a much better system. Any country will do as equally as good with the same level of economic freedom. The rest of Africa does poorly with economic freedom. Botswana, have done well because of economic freedom. South Africa has done well because of the Boer Tribe but heading in the wrong direction because of the commies.
Read my comment above, i'm seeing things from a completely different perspective,, one that is proven worldwide,, you are delusional.
@@reverendbluejeans1748 😆😆😆😆
Just returned from a trip to Ghana. Have been there for almost 5 weeks. It is good to be proud, but hey, the're are really lots of lots of challenges for Ghana to cope with. Not a small Accra Mall and some roads around Accra are enough to promote your countrey. Sea pollution, an overcrowded Accra, and only few (too) rich people.Bad plumming, lack of water, lots of broken houses. Very bad infrastructure. I hope the new Government will change for the best! So many things are just worn out, need to be repaired. So lots of work can be done. Good healthcare though. Congrats for that.
Every nation has it own challenges. We will do our part as youths of Ghana to solve those challenges. Government cant solve all problems
Yes, it is great, that young people are not just sitting and waiting for better times. GOOD FOR YOU! As I heard on the radio and saw billboards, there will be elections, I think May 28, so this is why I hope, people will vote, it might be helpful. Embrace you talents! Whishing good luck and prosperity!

Let us have in mind that most African countries, like Ghana, only had a chance to start developing their countries after the Colonists were done looting and oppressing the African people and, at their sweet time, decided to grant independence in the mid 1950s to 60s. We Africans know that we have a long way to go to catch up with western countries, afterwards it took the so called developed countries hundreds of years, including killing, looting and exploiting native Africans, Americans, and Indians (India) to get to where they are today. So yes, the "two half-way decent malls" mark a development for a country trying to heal from the wounds of colonialism and still fighting the up hill battle against modern (economic) colonialism and multinational corporate vampires.
***** Although Ghana is younger than the former colonial masters, so is Singapore, Malaysia and Hong kong, but they are far mor developes than Ghana? Explain?
akay You got it wrong. Former colonies are not undeveloped because they were colonized, they were colonized because they were undeveloped. They would be undeveloped regardless of colonization.
I just came back from Ghana a month ago and honestly IT WAS THE GREATEST PLACE EVER! It is richer than the US both in appearance and its people.
karen morales you r really beautiful
U joking right?, I am not doubting the beauty of Africa and her people but u r exaggerating, especially against a developed country like America where things work and people can actually make a change with their voices.
Ghana is nice, I am nigerian American, but I gotta tell u there is a long way to go in africa, anyone who has eyes can see that.
nice people without infrastructure, electricity and good schools not to mention hospitals both children's and regular hospitals. The list goes on. like someone said, if the USE can do it we can too but we r not ready.
MajorrBison Thanks for your comment, however please understand my post wasn't at all to be taking literal. I am very much aware that Africa is an under developed country that has begun to take steps to improve their country, which I think it is amazing. I said that it was richer than American in appearances and in people because after living here all my life, I have encountered first hand some of the most ignorant, horrible, cold people. In Africa I did not see anything like that, all I saw were people helping each other, children excited to learn and communities uniting to help a person out. So yest Africa is under developed but it is in act richer than America. Yes, America is amazing and I am blessed to be here but because we are socially broken down by race, gender, sex and religion sometimes we forget that at the end of the day we are human. This is where I was coming from. Hope I helped you understand were I was coming from.
GB!
+karen morales got ya!
Ghana is on my bucket list to visit one day when it is safe to travel with the pandemic still going on. Beautiful Ghana
👌
This is the first clip I have seen that at least shows both sides of the story.One either gets all Accra Mall & luxury hotels etc or the poorer side of Ghana so well done guys thanks for being honest.
Very accurate portrayal of Ghana. LOL Apparently, all it takes for a country to be considered economically and socially developed are two half-way decent malls.
Ghana is NOT a developed country. We are a developing nation and have to be proud of what we have and try to make it better. We cant cant call someone's else country our country. Together we build!!
KingRich Entertainment
Ok...my bad. I should have said........Apparently all it takes for a nation to be considered developing are two half-way decent malls.
If you said so we will take it like that...LOL
Lmao 😂😁💀💀💀
Thank u I am Arabic man greeting from Dubai mama Africa
i thought great video.honest & nice relaxed delivery.i could tell you gave good thought & balance to each fact.thank you
Ghana is 100 times beautiful the Jordan
I love the images that you showed in your video. Thank you.
Oh gosh, the footage at the beginning just drives me nuts. Thanks for showing the side people don't see :) I just made a similar video, but I didn't include any of that stereotyped poor footage because I feel like posting stuff like that doesn't help the country in the long run. The best way to improve the Ghanaian economy is to show the good parts, which will then encourage investment.
The problem with your theory is summed up in one word "corruption" sure one gets investment but how much goes into the pockets of the corrupt.After all Ghana,s favorite son was not named Mr 10% for nothing & Mr Rawlings who is a very wealthy man still refuses to disclose the source of his wealth.That said I love Ghana but she can be a hard mistress.
Esi Magic TV I agree with you ,their are two size to every story. I have looked at the housing development in Ghana and I am just curious who are they building these new homes for because from what I have seen the average American could not even afford to buy one so how are the people who live there going to buy these new homes that from all appearances are very expensive. I have inquired quite a few times in the comment section on property in Ghana and the prices of the new homes that are being built there and have never received a answer.
Newsflash: Ghana is very poor
Esi Magic TV
For yu just showing the good part not the poorest part to impress investor . Anyway, I know why whiteman said yu don’t have brain and without them yu’r nothing. Africains leaders dont strive to take good things from
White then blinded with its culture but rather coping them with lack of judgment. They live in cool environment and yu foolish live under the hot environment 360 days. Yu can’t eat like them, build house like them etc.
Philip Lewis I knew Mr corrupt when he was just a flight leut. I knew how much a flight leut makes not enough to be a multi millionaire as JJ is now. Thanks to the stupidity of Ghanaians but no more. We have learned from our mistakes hopefully
From being in the United Snakes oops I mean states all my life. Almost 40 years...the US has become a dangerous place for the future of Black people. Any African country is a better outlook, It's time to invest in Africa, weather it be Ghana, Togo, Eithopia, Nigeria, Gambia etc. We have a promise to keep to our beloved ancestors to return, and get to know our beloved African distance relatives. The time is now...
You won't be treated any better in an African country. You will be seen as an American foreigner.
USA Stands For Union Of Socialist Assholes!!
Lol
Arch Linux stfu. Pathetic of you to even have mindset. Ghanaians are very hospitable
@@analyticshub9615 whatever your opinion is, insulting someone isn't any better
very nice! definitely on my list of places to visit, although the places and atmosphere in the beginning of the video is just as, if not more appealing.
When I travel, I want to see and talk with real locals.
What a nice video... just goes to show there are a lot going on in Ghana... I need to reach over there.
Great video. It definitely show a different side of Africa. More videos should be made for all to see.
I can't wait- love the video
Nice positive promotion of Ghana #africa #ghana #tourism
Both parts are true. But what strikes me most, thinking back of my trips to Ghana, are the amazingly friendly and welcoming Ghanaians
Me and my black family just moved to Ghana, and honestly... it's so much better than living in England. Everyone is really nice and there is basically no crime or racism.
Enjoyed the images and video clips of the mall.
I want to go to go Ghana :)
come!! my dear, it will be my pleasure to take you around
i can take you around just let me know Ghana is my homeland
eddie b stupid boy
U are warmly welcome to my house
I will appreciate if you would like to come and I will make you feel better in Ghana I just drop your number
Love and respect from india 🇮🇳❤🇬🇭
I like the video, but i think much was focused on the mall. You should do a second part and focus on our residential areas such as Dzorwulu, Regimanuel, East Legon, Aburi etc, and add the hotels too. I live in Washington and when i talk to friends, all they see if the hungry and dirty roads etc. Thank you
Thanks and well noted
Thank you for your advertising Ghana to the world God bless you.
Proudly Ghanaian :)
Good balanced view, liked the video, and recognises the gulf between wealth and poverty, good job..
I don't go to Ghana to experience luxuries I already have over here in the states. But the luxuries I cant have here. Hearing the rooster crow in the morning, the pleasant folks, the local taxi, the simple things. I hate going back home where people try to take me out for pizza and kfc. No, how about we hit up the local chop bar. I avoid that over priced mall. But its nice to know its there when you need it.
NDC people you have come again
Am proud to be a Ghanaian therefore I have toured the length and breadth of Ghana more wonderful places to visit we very friendly and nice.
This is a great video showing the great country of Ghana ...medaase.....
Want to visit Ghana like now...love from Jamaica
M. A. Williamson Ghana is your home and you're always welcome
So cool. I never knew this.
the only american fast food restaurant I know in Ghana is KFC which is in the marina mall. The last time I had saw that DC-10 (which is in front of the Marina mall) it was just in the normal Ghana airways livery.
My motherland Ghana ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A good showcase of Ghana. The title should however read " How western countries SEE Ghana (Africa). Thank you.
Well done trying to promote Ghana and to bring it to the attention of the World.
THANK U!!! this is ghana and more :-)
Looks pretty much like Accra. I only spent a few days there. I lived in Takoradi for 6 weeks. (which pretty much looks like all the beginning part of this video) Are you showing anywhere else other than Accra??
Who owns all of those places shown that looked upgraded? Are they Ghanian owned businesses or was it showing consumers only?
nice to see my homeland like this
I am not being bias here but majority of these scenes are from the nation's capital. Not a fair measure I believe. However the country has great promise and the ability to reach greater heights.
+Israel Agyeman-Prempeh SUNYANI is a cool city, kumasi is fabulous, so is most other ghanaian towns
Love it!
Are you from Ghana?
thank you hope to be there soon!
Ghana is getting there...don't let any obstacle stop you. Such as bad governance or corruption. With hard work and honesty one day you will be there. Bravo
I'd looove to visit Ghana.I see Ghanains as lovely souls.Very friendly people
I hear a lot about Ghana lately. Is it a safe country to visit as a tourist? and is the modern sides of Ghana - as they are portrayed here - really representative image of the country?
I Love it! It's Beautiful !
Ghana is a beautiful country, been there and I was amazed
Most of us people from western countries can't even differentiate between the many countries in Africa, it's all one country with nothing but poverty and war. The ignorance is mind blowing.
Wow Ghana is really nice. Hope to visit one day!!!
i went to konongo,kumasi,even peyensa,Accra and agogo
Lovely music
thanks
good view of africa
Great video. Thanks! Anyone know what the first song is??
if they think or not we are still Africa
I love my country Ghana
Ghana i miss you everyday i will be back!
whether Ghana is poor or rich, it doesn't matter the truth of the matter is that we love nd chrish others like our own family nd most of all we have peace, we should learn to appreciate that.
What plans are in place to alleviate the problems of the first part of the video Or is it ok for the impoverished side to remain as is as long as there is an affluent side to compare with other developed countries?
Good job
Honestly, this was the reaction I got from classmates when I told them I was visiting Nigeria(birth place of my dad). The school made did their best to convince me otherwise, and made sure I took all the 'necessary' vaccines and medicines. The trip turned out quite well, had no idea Nigeria was that developed! I really think Africa should be potrayed more positively by western media.
Straight love
There are a lot of beautiful country in africa they will never show you unless you visited yourself.
Ghana! Even the peace alone is enough God bless Ghana
I have been to Ghana and volunteered in one of their villages. The people are very friendly, they just don't have the same resources.
100 percent right!
rich culture and friendly behaviour is what matters..not someone's opinion..beautiful.
It's not about the mall.
It's about the people.
As an African myself, there is no people I respect more than ghanaians. Your country is one of the safest, most prosperous and most business-friendly in Africa.
As soon as I can, I will come and help you build your bright future.
Nice video is there any how I can contact you in private??

thanks you for showing this I have made the trip to ghana many times and have loved it each time I spend more money at Disney world then in Ghana lol not to many places in the world where you can eat a good fresh meal for about two dollars I will say since eating pineapple in Ghana every time I have it here in the us it never taste as good smh but big ups to the motherland do explore the volta region
Shopping malls do little in terms of more happiness though, having enough to live simply with a rich life of family; friends; connection to inner heart/soul are what truly can fulfill a human being.
I hardly think it is praise worthy to aspire to a paradigm that is not efficient, isn't organic and may be an input to environmental degradation. The worst thing that could happen is Ghana or the rest of Africa is start seeing things like Westerners do.
Beautiful
I love Ghana!
YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN, TO HAVE PEACE IN YOUR COUNTRY AND A SAFE ENVIRONMENT, IS SO IMPORTANT, AND ESSENTIAL TO OUR LIVELIHOOD.
i live Ghana,iam from cuba but have my girl there and i going to visitt her its good to be there it is?
See! African Americans!!! This (among other African countries) is our beacon of hope. Stop hanging on to the idea that we can/will fully integrate and assimilate into white American society. That society was meant for us to be on bottom. We are and have always been a great people and it is time that we come together now! and invest in our own people and development rather than a Nike shoe. Peace.
***** Dude Liberia was fucked from the start. Anyone who wanted to go there was too naive to see it
NubyTuesdays how was Liberia fucked from the start the slaves were the elite class for 160 years
thegigadykid1 Liberia never had the resources or the geological positioning to be economically viable as it's own state
NubyTuesdays the hell are you talking about Liberia has rubber gold diamond and oil . Liberia was rich and development before the war. SO ? YEAH
African Americans love going to Brazil or Europe
what do tha houses look like? neighborhoods etc.
wow! Ghana my happy home
nice but you still failed to add the tourist attractions ,life on the beaches ,Universities ,night clubs,estate developments,safaris etc etc.But hey,thanks
looks amazing same thing in Mexico only the northeast part is bad filled with cartels killing each other.but then thier real nice and pieceful places like Guanajuato,oaxaca,baja California Sur, Baja California norte,some parts of Sonora and Jalisco.aguascalientes is also very nice,
God bless our Homeland Ghana and make it great and strong again black stars of Africa gateway to Africa 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
Well done Ghana. More grease to your elbow. Continue to rise.
God bless our homeland Ghana and make our nation great and strong, bold to defend forever the cause of freedom and of right, fill our hearts with true humility, make us cherish fearless honesty, and help us to resist oppressor's rule with all our will and might for evermore, and help us to resist oppressor's rule with all our will and might for evermore.
I'm very proud of Ghana and all of the Western African Nations. I hope many Black people who lives in American and Europe will travel and one day invest in Ghana.
nice song is cool 😍🙌
GHANA: people are very nice, but the infrastructure is quite challenging due to shortage of electricity, water...security: many thieves, and the police is corrupt....its very expensive, don't bother going to a hotel: very expensive!!! people are quite religious, the culture is very rich: food, music but that is changing since the people are becoming and want to become more like Americans: blame it on the Nigerian influence in Ghana: its all about the money and any means necessary to get it. Although the people of Ghana don't like to be criticized, they have no problems to criticize you....lol..its all about their pride. Overall Ghana is great. the country is better than nigieria since Ghana is more laid back, people are very friendly, while Nigeria its all about the money and showing off material gain!
This is the truth
