@EMAN67 (Movies,politics,commentary) they have an army what they need is a army with leadership that put Africa and its interest first
@@arushanioshaka5600 we need nukes...Africa don't need a big offensive force but a medium size highly technologically oriented military for defense and offensive tactics if needed
@EMAN67 (Movies,politics,commentary) Facts they need a stronger military that can take on hold their own against Usa,Russia England north and south Korea and China if Africa can build a military like this it would be amazing they also need special forces.

U are a true African❤️🌍
To all those saying this is a Chinese project.....It's all Ghanaian..infact, there is nothing foreign about this project.....funds where raised locally via Public Private Partnership & the project is being constructed by a local construction firm fully owned by Ghanaians...this was publicly made known in 2017 when the president cut sod for commencement.....we need start believing in ourselves & stop attributing every mega project to others.
Edit : The companies (All ghanaian) involved are Adjaye Associates (AA), ABP Consult Limited, the Consortium and Ghana Tourism Development Company (GTDC).
Can African Americans invest in the project?
That makes me happy cause it is time for African people and diasporans to work as a whole and stop relying on foreigners and their money.
@@arpthirteen6713 Sure.....There is a new type of bond starting with a $3bn bond currently being prepared by the Government.....Unlike other bonds in European markets, this is specifically for the Diaspora or people of African descent who are willing to benefit from Ghana's "Right Of Abode" (I Suppose, stand to be corrected).....Last month May, the Finance Minister said it will be issued this year...it will go into capital investments such as infrastructure & trade......when it's time, I'm sure it will be well documented & better announced.
@@delirous8 Right....working together is the best & only option for us all moving forward.

💯
God bless Ghana, love from Sénégal. We need more investments in education health, water, energy and transport infrastructure
This is really great. We need to modernize our capital city, Accra.
However, we shouldn't neglect our second capital, Kumasi. The city of Kumasi needs more modern, enclosed markets like the new Kejetia market at every major location to prevent the problem of people putting containers by the roads and selling on road pavements in the city.
The fact that we are now about to have an international terminal since independence has put us in a disadvantage..
These mega buildongs are not for ordinary peoples ,we need factories industries good schools and hospitals .One Love Africa
And proper Drainage and Sewage system....
Yes, I was confused because I was expecting to hear also hospitals, schools, factories etc, instead I heard casino, theater, hotels...let see
Fran Wern ... How can you have more hospitals and schools without proper GDP?? It looks to me that they are choosing to invest in tourism to increase Ghana’s GDP.
If roads, hospitals and factories were built, people would still be complaining on the effect on the environment, the traffic, more crowed populations etc. Instead of always finding fault with everything sometimes see the positives, like the income tourism will bring.
@GENTLE Not neccesarily!!Just look at Singapore!!There are the digital industries and if entrepreneurs are allowed to grow their business, then Ghana will be the richest country in Africa and one of the top ten economies in the world!
I am of Indian origin. Really love seeing African countries advancing. Great show Ghana!
Developing
I wasnt aware of this project, but will watch with interest. I love to see Africa improve itself
Wow! Ghana is on the move to prosperity
Maybe, Nigeria's "Eko Atlantic" is still unfinished after over 10 years. There's the "Silicon Valleys" that were planned for Kenya, Congo, and Ghana that were never completed. Let's wait and see...
They don't have investors.
So the projects have stalled. Nothing has even started.
@@naywahn Ghana silicone valley is done
@@mustaffda lie ?
When ?
Ghana to the world
The skyline mega project in Accra is truly a world class can't wait to see these wonderful project . Keep it up

Great job Ghana! Keep growing. God bless 🙏
The 2020s will be the decade Africa is taking off, with lots of building projects going on in Ghana, Senegal, Rwanda, Ethiopia and other countries, and the 2030s will be the start of the African Era.
africa era already started in early 00s
I would love to be a part of this. I live in America and was born and raised here. I served in the US Army and after all that the racism and the high cost of living and the judicial system here that just wants to incarcerate black people I'm sick of it. I can paint, weld, operate a forklift, do insulation, demo work all kinds of trades. I would love to move to Africa. I've never been but I want to move there especially Ghana. I've been feeling it in my heart to move to Africa and live out the rest of my life there. I just don't have the finances to move right now plus I'm concerned about being able to afford a place to live there and find ing a job. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Ghana and Africa in general looks like Heaven on Earth.
U have skills so u can easily move to ghana . Ghana is nowhere as costly as the USA. U can leave like a king with 500 dollars trust me bro
@@kennykross3306 Wow it's that cheap to live there? Yeah I need to look seriously into moving there.
Some parts of capitals can be quite expensive
Africa must make sure to build the people also. Dont make the same mistakes those powerful nations of today made and are now paying the consequences. Financially, ecologically and morally. Material and spiritual things must grow togather. Man must seek the equal attainment of both. For only then can he attain that inner calm needed. Words of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie i the first.
Amazing. Good hygiene, great architecture, and a brighter vision of the future.
How can Ghana change leadership? It's better Nana Addo Danquah continue what he has started. Thank God for bringing you back. Do the best. May God protect you, give you good health and long life. Wisdom to liberate the nation. Amen
YES I MEAN "LONG LEAVE THE BLACK STARS NATION "
your research on this is unmatched
God bless mother Ghana
We are going forward small small. Forward ever backwards naver long live mother Ghana 🇬🇭 🙏
Where have they ‘resettled’ the occupiers of the area?
That's my question and how will this affect their business?
Thanks for checking out our video. Our report didn't take much into consideration about resettlement. However, our research revealed that the occupiers were compensated (~8 Million Cedis), which apparently wasn't enough.
The Jamestown demolishing exercise is also over and the land was handed over to the Chinese partner last month, for the commencement of the fishing harbor.
We believe for Ghana to move forward and have a clean and world-class city, these are some of the sacrifices the country must take on, as in the case of several mega projects found across the world. With that said, care must be taken dealing with those involved in the resettlement.
Thanks once again and please don't forget to subscribe to our channel.
Some were taken to kanda kawukudi park then Accra mall area the also OSU area.... They return back to do their business because of the year of return, so they will go back to where the government settled them
Omg venessa kanbi is here
@@TheNewAfricaChannel In Ghana compensations for expropriation is always paid in excess to avoid affected people from seeking redress at the courts. So don't claim is not enough. Go back and do your research well on the compensation package that was offered
When tourists come in it can be a blessing and a curse as well......Oftentimes these tourists are treated significantly better than the indigeneous people and tourists also bring their sick pedlphole tendencies with them...Jamaica is a perfect example.....The local residents say that they are not welcome anywhere near the tourists areas....this includes the beaches.....This development also means that housing prices in the development area will rise as well.....People of Ghana make sure u are well represented in this project to the fullest extent...
the project is funded and it will constructed by a ghananian firm .plus no way we will allow a racist western to tell one of a citizens that they are not allow in a beach that shit would not fly here in ghana
What are you saying about Jamaica?
I do not understand your point?
Nagging like a bitch. Put your money where your mouth is. That place was underused for centuries, somebody decided to raise money to bring development and you are still complaining....
Thank you keep promoting Africa the right way
we africans love be decieved by these mega project please let us think into industrialism creating manufactorying so that we the youth
can earn good think of the better future with hope ,these mega building are for ordenary peoples please bare in mind.we factories industries hospitals schools etc.not disney parks.love afrca
Very true... But it works both ways.... Factories are being built....
this is amazing proudly Ghanaian
This is beautiful
Ghana government must to build smart cities with high skylines and good roads and bridges
Smart cities are being built
God bless Ghana 🇬🇭 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wakanda manifested into reality.
Eko Atlantic and Akon City are the Wakandas (whichever gets completed first).
Wow I'm moving
@Dad Man none of your business
Wow that's amazing
This is nice. Up Ghana

Super project
Very good idea.

Cool .....
Congratulations Ghana
Good project Ghana
They really should spend all that money fixing up and painting businesses downtown, which is way cheaper. You'll help local businesses and attract more tourism. With 1.2 billion you wouldn't just be able to help downtown either, but you could instead of building a bunch of towers and gentrifying the center...you can actually give the citizens the tools to have de-centralized gentrification of existing infrastructure. Let the people of Ghana self-gentrify their own city instead of forcing it upon them.
Useless idea
How many businesses are for the government
Reason dear
This project is long over due and transcend several regimes, even the former government cut sod for commencement before they were booted out of power, but happy the current Gov't is seeing it through.
When he has six month left tweeaaa we need a development plan where any government that's must follow that line
@@Myworld-of2lk Exactly!
Ghana belongs to Ghanaians not these so-called political parties.
I pray for the day where all these educated Ghanaians wake up to realize that. Wake up,wake up,wake up people!!
We need a National Development plan for everyone to follow in order to Develop the whole country to it's full potential.
All the regions...
@@Myworld-of2lk Since giving us a National Development Plan was one of his campaign promises I'm sure he will implement it before his 8 year term comes to an end. I wish he could be like Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew and be President for a long time tho. He's the Best we've had Since John Agyekum Kuffuor
Ghana government must to build smart cities with high skylines and good roads and create jobs for the people of Ghana
God bless our homeland Ghana
Wow always want to see change
I hope it comes to fruition. we've seen this before. When there 2020/2022 vision from Atta mills. here we are 2020 boboo. I hope.
Talk am again bro's.... Audio project, we know this leaders of ours. So so talk talk but zero action
wooooow awesome , my homeland Ghana
i am going to live there
I know most people are going to say that this project is for the high class..and most of it is right..but
1- This can create more jobs
2- It can attract the wealthy diaspora to created businesses in the country
3- It can help improve the face of the country and ease movement
Do I need to go on?
Yes yes go on
black is universal colour of beauty
The question is, will this decision taken by the leaders in the Ghanaian government eventually lead to a shoreline which is enviromentally friendly or not ? Will there be a large numbers high rises ? Will the development, great as it is to grow the economy, be less like the industrial and business developments seen along the shorelines of beautiful scenic Bali, where buildings cannot be higher than 15 metres (not taller than typical coconut trees); or, instead, will the shoreline and miles of beautiful beaches, in the end, be hidden behind a long wall of new buildings, such as seen in Miami, Florida ? Good luck to the beautiful people of Ghana.
Long overdue. Nevertheless I’m excited for Ghana. They should be doing more of these infrastructures to attract tourism. Clear all the slums from the city centre and utilise the area
Where are u from
Go Ghana
Beautiful Ghanan/Chinese "Las Vegas" type project. My question is where are all the customers coming from when there is no industry or infrastucture to support it
possibly through this we can build other stuff
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Cool presentation it gets investors interest and makes we proud but the question is are the implementors really for the project or for themselves but for this this project would have moved from drawing board to ground long ago
This is amazing!! However, I hope Ghana will get to the point where primary necessities (a good home, clean water, electricity and good paying jobs) are extended to the WHOLE of Ghana, so one doesn't have to travel to Accra to have a decent life!
I also hope we will one day connect ALL our cities with a train system and have good transportation services.
Oh and let's not forget, make Ghana safe again!!
Armed robbery, theft and all that jazz will not stop until the Government provides GOOD paying jobs to it's people!!
To the people at the top: Let's think more of the people and less of our expensive and unnecessary travelling!
If all of this is put in place, NOT one Ghanaian in their rightful mind would leave Ghana to build a better life for their families abroad!
*I even forgot to mention the most important thing: Hospitals and Good schools!!
👍
I want to be part of this development
Can't there be other major projects in other cities in Ghana,why always the capital getting all the opportunities of a civilized and modernising society?
Infact to some foreigners Ghana is just Accra.we have come a long way to ignore other cities in our country,the spontaneously and simultaneous development is what can actually get country to where it's going...
Marine Drive Tourism vs Akon City vs Diamandio Lake City vs Eko Atlantic City.
Which project finishes first and when?
Hello, I have a question? Is this project under construction or not?
Started in 2019
Ghana government must to build smart cities with high skylines and create jobs for the people of Ghana
at least they are not reclaiming land like Lagos.
Accra needs more high skylines and good roads
Ghana is working again thanks to NPP and Nana
I think this project was Kwame Nkrumah''s vision or? It's good NPP has finally started with it. However, the country must have a national development plan which must be respected by all political parties. This is the only way we can move ahead.
@@biologic9081 other political parties will come to power and destroy whatever Kwame nkrumah plan to do. This government is combining all the good projects of the past governments and put it place. Though is not easy but will be done
D J BLACK I doubt it when you say the current government is combining all the good projects of the past government when there are a lot of unfinished projects by past Government waiting to be finished by the current government but nothing has happened . I’m talking about essential projects like hospitals , roads and schools . Even some hospitals that where ready for use was still abandoned by the current government until the covid-19 surprised us. It’s sad how Ghana is being developed with shallow thinking . Parties always want to claim ownership like the funds came out of their pockets . God help us all.
Oh here they are everything is by politics
@@biologic9081 Exactly!👍🏾
After visiting Ghana, even I know how to pronounce Accra. Did anyone proofread or review this video? I'm not impressed. What a shame!
#makeitauthentic
This and Wakanda would attract 20 million African Americans in a matter of years as a new homeland, being an old homeland, if it would receive the media and political support in the U.S..
We would be on top if we put our intrest in our continent first ,
Hopefully they found more adequate housing for the people that they displaced.
Any update on the project?
I do not believe such a hug project only cost 1.2 billion, 10 times would be possible.
This mega project is good, but we want production and industrial companies to move along
It will create tourism and a source of job opportunities for Ghanaian citizens
It's all talk
I hope is not an Audio project, because we've seen it been, not the first time. African leaders so so talk talk but zero action. Which crime Africa committed at all wey our life dey so🤔 huh. Still Jehovah Bless Ghana
This is not a chinese project.When ever there is mega project in AFRICA some foreigners tend to say its the chinese
I hope that Black investors are being actively courted for investment in this project. We need to own stuff not have everyone else make money off us.
Also build Ghana Tomatoes Factorys, fund Farmers, Better Sanitation, better schools
What kinda stupid statement is that fool
And how has the COVID-19 virus effected this project.
That’s all good, I hope that you provide free education and affordable healthcare to all of your people, so that all Ghanaians can share in this rebuilding, it seems as though you are only targeting foreigners to come and participate. Don’t be indebted to foreign investors who’s only interest will be their own first, invest in your people especially the ones with no running water, electricity and a proper sewage treatment system. Education first.God bless Africa.
Great comment!!! Re-building of Ghana/Africa should come from within and there's the need to improved health care, water, etc.
With that said, the Marine Drive Project is being done through public private partnership initiative. From our research, there's no Chinese loan for this project, rather most private companies (mostly Ghanaian) are being given various incentives/tax free breaks to facilitate the needed capital and smooth take-off for the project. Here's the official page for the project for more info: www.marinedriveghana.com/
Thanks once again for commenting and please don't forget to check our other videos :)
Madam ghana has free education and healthcare .mist Ghanaian can access water and lights. They are more sewage treatment plant being built in the country
Like seriously
Did I hear him saying Accra is the biggest city in Ghana?
Or I'm having ear problems..
Accra is the smallest in Ghana or?
Accra is the capital City in Ghana, but the smallest City in terms of size. Kumasi is the Biggest City in Ghana.
Accra is 40 miles by 20 miles, biggest so far.
Everything about this narrator is wrong
He was speaking in terms of population.
You need more than 1.2 billion to build a marina
2:28 Interruption of continuity and foot traffic in center.
Ghana is selling its assets to other countries while it's people are suffering
Marine drive did not start in 2019. The planning started way back in 1995. Do your research
Can provide the source please.
I think it was one of Dr Kwame Nkrumah's agenda, which never materialised. It's a very good step the current government took it on. Ghana must have a national development agent, which must be followed up and respected by all political parties. Projects must be implemented and continued regardless of which political party is in power.
I wish black Hollywood stars and black millionaires in America will invest in this project.
They will never fo it most black American hate African very much
Tyler Perry should build his next studios in Ghana and Nollywood.
Please pray for my country Grenada. People are dumb and are opposing the Government for Development in the Country.
Dont let this decieve you. Africa will still be africa✌️
U wish
Government has acquired any land. The land belongs to the Ga people.
So the beauty of the beach will be blocked out by the buildings to help businesses. Why should the buildings be on the beachfront? Aren't everyday people entitled to go to the beach freely?
Ghana can do better, I don't like the shape and design of those buildings they are dated , they need to build like Dubai, not going back ward, that land is so nice , you guys should take your time and do the best,
They are spending 1.2 billion not 20 billion
I hope we dont become like Dubai in uae.
Ghana why have you left this project
