    That guy in the green sweater was seriously so down to earth. Truly puts your life into perspective when you see someone like him being so positive even under the circumstances.

Thats why I support you Indigo Traveller, every single place you visit you seem to leave a long-term positive impact. You don't just forget the people. Sean from Haiti has 365 patreons right now. The orphanage YOU built in Nigeria. Seriously Nick, when I can't see the good in this world any more, I just think about you or put one of your videos on.

      I follow both creators for many years. YT and IT are different when it comes to content and story telling. Nick is a one person journalist and goes to places where many don’t go and talk to locals and share their stories. The Yes Theory team is inspiring to seek discomfort and I’m curious to see what other Africa content they will push out as I love Africa. Yes theory could use their platform to help the locals they come across in Africa and maybe they are in a different way like inspiring people to travel to these places… I think they are just seeking discomfort while story telling. Both channels are inspiring but Nick is using his platform to help the people while spreading awareness on what’s going on in the world. Love both channels.

    Great video once again, Nick! It’s eye-opening to see the stark contrast between the lives of these wonderful people and that of government officials. This theme of corruption is common across all of Africa as those who have the ability to develop their homelands into very successful nations decide to not do so because of self-interest. I believe that one day, Ghana and Nigeria, especially, will be the pride of Africa once more.

      I don't think it is only government officials, there is a lot commerce as well. Tourism is also a major thing in areas and owning a property in the right place changes everything. I also think things are going to get better but they (most African countries) need to watch out for the debt traps from other countries including the US, UK, China and Russia. It is my fear that these African governments may take the short term gains and lose all the resources they have.

    When I lived/visited Ghana, I remember seeing Teshie. I lived in Ashaiman for six months. Even though the living conditions weren't ideal, I remember how many people would still have massive TVs, stereo systems, laptops, and iPhones in these compound housing. Such a surreal experience for some people living in these conditions, but they still had all the most recent up-to-date gadgets. Very different from what people would've pieced from countries like Australia. In many ways, Id compares Ghana to how Americans think everyone in Australia has a pet kangaroo. There are many things about the country outside the assumptions of Africa having just poverty. Great video Nick

I have a couple friends from Teshie, told me the exact same thing regarding day/night safety. Generally true, but they made it clear that Teshie is no joke at night, which is why they often couldn't get a ride there when it was round midnight.

    At 21:30 when you said that it is one of the funnest places you visited, I was thinking that this is one of the best videos I've seen of yours. The Ghanaians seem like warm and welcoming people. I've met a few through surfing that compete in the ISA World Surfing Games, and they have always seemed like genuine people. They fit in well with Latin Americans at the surf competitions. This video actually made me want to travel to Africa, specifically Ghana, when I'd otherwise be apprehensive of traveling to African countries. Thanks for all the great work you do brining people together. It may sound corny but I get emotional watching your videos. I hope someday all of these people can live prosperous lives in their country and not be forced to migrate because of corrupt political leaders and whatever factors cause them hardship.

    This is my first time watching your video and I must confess I’m very intrigued. I just recently started vlogging and I’m doing the exact same thing but going farther into town. I’m Ghanaian and I was born and raised in the same slums you shot this documentary(Teshie). My first school is even really really close to where the fisher folk shack is. I’m lucky to have been part of the 1% that are able to excel and make it outta the slums. The secret? Education (School). It’s the only deciding factor. I mean there are other factors like being very good at sports or maybe a talent in music. But that’s super rare. Anyway, great piece of work. From a Film Maker’s perspective, this was very well executed and I need to commend how well planned this production was executed. Im pretty positive you had to grease a few palms to make these happen but the end result was absolutely worth it. I’m motivated. Next time you visit Ghana. I’d love to host and collaborate.
