Try a cold shower to get to sleep. It helps me. You start warm and gradually get the water to cold. Stand it for like 5 mins, knocks me out everytime. What is the weather like? Is it cool or hot? I can see that its clear. And that ocean is awesome. I love water.

Yes !! We have to write our own history and you are doing just that. Enough of the polluted history, His Story. You are changing the story. It is now your story, the true story which is organic. Africa is blessed, the true Garden of Eden.
Chakeydo……...nice nickname. I am from that area but has never been to Otuam or Dago. As a cultural researcher, I know the Otuam Asafo is one of the best in the region.
There is a Mexican -African 3 hours from Acapulco, and they told me welcome home sister and embraced me.

The beach rites is called LIBATION, a form of traditional prayer that uses liquid ( alcohol or non-alcoholic beverage or even water) to communicate with God via the ancestors and the deities. The beginning statements are invitation to the almighty God to come and partake in the ritual and bless it. It is followed by the pouring of the liquid to the ground calling on the name NANA ASAASE EFUA, denoting that the Earth goddess is a friday born ( and God is born on Saturday-Twerdeampon Kwame) and the 77 deities of Otuam to come and partake in the simple ceremony. Such rites are necessary in every traditional home to get the ancestors and community deities to give their blessings. The King is a physical representative of the ancestors, the deities, God and the living. He appoints, where there is no permanent linguist, a wise and culturally endowed elder during such events to pour libations or have a traditional priest do it. Structure in the community is very important. Rich culture, beautiful country.
Her title is King - there's is an entire book about it and Ghana has had 5 female Kings at the time that the book was written. Her book is called King Peggy.
Christians go to Africa and let Hamites pray to deceased ancestors for them. The Bible says not to pray for the dead. Once a person is dead there’s no prayer to help them. Remember Hamites didn’t like Black Israelites because they prayed to only one God and they prayed to many gods. As Black Americans we must think about what we do regardless of where we are. Sometimes we go to Africa or other countries and act like we can’t think or something. Always know what you’re participating in or with.
What are you talking about? Where from all these your theories. Live your life and let others live theirs.You don't have problem with all the black on black killings in America ; and over here worrying about the pouring of libations in Africa. Those that brought the bibles brought the chains and the shackles, remember that.
@@powerfullaudmarcus2455 I’m not a Christian and I definitely don’t believe in the New Testament. I don’t believe in praying to dead ancestors either. I don’t believe in Jesus and all the crap that comes with Christianity but if you’re claiming to be a Christian there’s things you shouldn’t be doing. Our ancestors couldn’t help themselves here so are they supposed to be able to help us in the spirit realm?
@@MI-vn4tp you are obliged to your personal credo. Also nowhere in my statement do I make reference to, or claim Christianity. The call to the Ancestors or pouring Libations to them is not only to seek help, but an Invocation of their memories, spirits and force to manifest certain end results. How that connection works, mortals may never understand, but it works for me and some others.
I traveled and worked from 20 to 73, so now in my 79th year, I am enjoying virtual travel, so thank you.
Hiiii, finally I am in Ghanaaaa.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

The weather is hot but a dry heat...not humid. I noticed I wasn't sweating the way I was in places like Cambodia and such. So it felt very good to me.

If English is the only language you speak, will you be okay traveling in Ghana or is it necessary to learn short phrases that's native to the land?
English is a primary language in Ghana (along with 10 others)...so you will be fine...mostly everyone speaks English.
Come with any language u speak and we will still understand you❤️
Awwwwww
Is the lil boy rolling a blunt?😂
I seriously doubt it. I didn't witness anything of that sort while there.
Peggy was a female, but why is she called King instead of Queen?
Her title is King - there's is an entire book about it and Ghana has had 5 female Kings at the time that the book was written. Her book is called King Peggy.
@@FunandBudget Thank you, you look like a Queen to me
These villagers could at least clean the beach a bit. This is a disgrace.
Soon true poverty is not an excuse to get filthy
Don't you have filthy places in your own country
🤣🤣🤣🤣
