Wonderful video. The Kumasi International Airport will be a game changer and give that city the credit it deserves. Also, the Asante monarchy with its checks and balances is top-tier. Very fascinating culture, history, and people.
@benbo7042 Within that political arrangement or framework labeled as a Republic also exists a Kingdom of, by and for a people. That Kingdom has a Monarchy. You may choose to delude yourself but the reality is immutable and immovable.
The British were amazed about and intrigued by the intricacies of the checks and balance systems underpinning the Asante Kingdom's Monarchy. Based on that system, one of the British Generals then proceeded to declare that the Asante Monarchy was more accountable to the people than their own. And surely, the international Airport is going to be a game changer. How that was not done 20 years ago even solely as a means of an economic engine in that region and afar, is just unbelievable.
@@edmcgeman5084 I think folks forget that the Asante Kingdom existed before the British and colonizers. If we would give compatible democracy a deep dive maybe Africa would not be the basket case it is now. Every system has its flaws but our system of government designed by us, for us works better in my opinion and observation than an alien form of governance.
@@edmcgeman5084 Let me ask you villager this question. Why does your Chief travel with a Passport on which it is inscribed : THE REPUBLIC OF GHANA? There is no where in the world where you have a REPUBLIC and a MONARCH at the same time. Google tells us that Africa has only 3 monarchies and they are: The Kingdom of Morocco, the Kingdom of Lesotho, and the Kingdom of Eswatini ( formerly known as Swaziland) You bush people should do more research before you expose your ignorance.
This is the absolutely BEST video I have watched. The talent and skill and knowledge is so amazing. The cocoa plant is truly a gift from God that it supports 80% of the economy. Who knew every part was useful.❤
In Asante the woman is the ultimate authority because they practice the Matriachy system. That is why the Queen Mother has so much power and revered even by the King.
After the Kente session - I went off on a tangent and read about Nkrumah's wife, his daughter and watched a couple other videos about Dr Nkrumah and also his daughter, Samia.🙃
@@moretodela For real…it would be most helpful. My friends and I are readying ourselves to move to Ghana and are in need of cars. We haven’t a clue about Ghana made vehicles and would love a segment produced by your show. We want you to do it because we know you would ask the right questions and talk to the right people.
What does the Black and Red color-cloth represent in Ghana? I had a dream where an elderly woman was sitting on a stool at her front door-she knocked my front teeth and outlined my facial-bone before she allowed me in her house. This dream caused me to visit Africa 6 months ago-The Gambia. 2025 I am going to Kumasi-Ghana to seek the meaning of the dream from an elder. Stool. Percussion. Geometry. These techniques that elder used to vet me in that dream means something very important. She was wearing an outfit wit head-wrap made from RED and BLACK CLOTH.
Girl this was a great video and I love African black soap. I have been using it for years and my skin is nice from it. Even the part about what men can take to be strong in bed. Love this episode. Thx sweetie
I am always fascinated with the way they weave the Kente.... you must be very intelligent to do it mahn. They have the same thing for Aso-oke in Nigeria as well. @Dela you need to go to the Cocoa board in Old Tafo(less than 2hrs drive from Accra after Koforidua) for the history and details of Cocoa. Been there a couple of times and was still there in November. All those chocolate are produced over there and also al lot of other things like show polish, Rum, Whiskey, Cocoa spread etc
Dela: when you have good info such as this, try to make it worthwhile to us watching, and the people who take the time to make your video interesting. That poor man could have made money from those natural products. IT'S A WIN-WIN SITUATION DEALA
Why, should that mall be in Accra? Kumasi deserves it too, Accra is all hype😊very soon you wouldn't want to be in Accra you will relocate. Ghana is just not Accra.
Nice work and thanks. The part about a UK lady stating with alacrity that it is freezing cold in Kumasi under any weather conditions is yet to sink in.😆 Or may be, i have been away for too long?
@NaturalGhanaGirl If you are not backing down but reaffirming that, it ought to be credible, and I accept that in good faith. I am marking the date of the video and that will be the season I would want to visit . Don't like the heat.
@marthacmd Take an econ 101 class. Macro economic problems do not mean economic collapse. While you at it, check Japan's debt to gdp, also its gdp gowth rate in the past decade. Ghana's gdp grew by 4.2% ( one of highest in the world) in the first quarter. You are such an alarmist!!!
Really? You don't know what you're talking about. Don't let the old town fool you. Kumasi is very beautiful and there are many beautiful areas. The old part also make it better. It tells a story. And Kumasi is a business center. Buy a ticket and go expirience for yourself.
@@Ghanadiaries do you like those unkempt buildings in the video? Although the buildings are old,they should be painted and renovated. That’s typically African when the owner dies, no one takes care of their properties
@@Head_Onthose old compounds buildings are over 100 years old. Unfortunately they are moving those people to new sites to build businesses. Those are original Kumasi architects.

Used to swallow the cocoa seeds as a kid in Jamaica. Using the restroom used to be an experience.
More is to come.
Major arts and crafts are in Kumasi. What a beautiful performance by the musicians and dancers.
Yes major arts and crafts

I know right! New beginnings lol
Dela, u should meet with Wode Maya to show u around Takoradi too. So much there to learn.
Thanks Dela. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode ❤
Thank you 😊

That wood-bark reminds me of the method we used in the countryside to make floor-dye back in-a dem days! Coconut brush , dye and Genie floor polish.
I am a proud Ashanti
I'm Clarence, live in Republic Of Belarus . But from ghana and like watching ur videos❤❤
Thank you

OMG, after 9 years first time in Kumasi? I'm surprised Dela, you didn't try.😁
😂😂😂. I always said I was special lol
No need to be hard on a sister. At least, she finally made it 😊.
I let her off in a later comment, as I watched the video.🤣🤣
Wow! Interesting in Kumasi, good to know!❤️
Really enjoying this video, Dela!
Thank you
Oh wow, I am so excited to watch this video.... I saw our family house in this video.... Thank you for sharing.
Oh really? Wow
@@moretodela yes! I saw our family house where I grew up before traveling to the USA.... So excited... Thank you
Now I know why Kente cost so much. It’s labor intensive.
My hometown
Can you share where they were weaving the kente. I would love to visit.
great trip
Akwaba to OseiKrom. I hope you will visit again.
This was wonderful!!
I was wondering if you could do a video on the Ghana car Kantanka…would love that!
I’ll try

I don’t know
Good to see Kumasi. I need the raw chocolate powder. I’ll try get some from Jamaica. The yellow bike Taxis are called Tuk Tuks. I want one lol.
I am always fascinated with the way they weave the Kente.... you must be very intelligent to do it mahn. They have the same thing for Aso-oke in Nigeria as well.

Hmmmm that’s really interesting. I might have to do that.
nigeria is zoo
Your friend did a great with the dance!! Great and fast learner
Good job showcasing our rich culture.
A question.....where is Adinkra and Kente Weavers located in Kumasi, and can I have their contacts? Thank you.
I don’t actually know. The whole thing was arranged ahead of time for us.
Village Bonwire
check them on the internet
Thanks Dela, well done!
I really enjoyed this video. I want to go there when I come now.
Thank you for the trip, very interesting.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Dela, please ask the gentleman if they export that last product...asking for a friend 😝
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love you Dela❤
❤️❤️❤️
Asante "Because of War": Asa(war) nte ( because). The Kingdom was created through wars and alliances.
Wow. This is beautiful.
Havnt been to Kumasi ever, 😂😂 and am a Ghanaian. So Dela u are not alone.
Thank God for that 😂
Your skin, is skinning.
Thank you 😊
Girl Kumasi is ghana 🇬🇭 Accra is just the capital
Accra, kumasi, Cape coast etc is all ghana. Ashanti people should learn to come of their high horses
@@mabelnortey5329 how do you know I’m an Ashanti stop your tribalism ok have mentioned your name or your tribe
Hi Dela - why did you not list the info for the gentleman that sells the shea items?
I didn’t have that information.

@@moretodelaI think you should inquire about those numbers and share with you viewership, it’s all about helping the economy in our beautiful country
I just don't get the whole tourism bit, concerning our "return to the continent "...
"Wonderful, "Wonderful, job. "Dela.😀.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I thought she was off to Britain ! Dela 😅
Hahah nope!
Kumasi needs to paint their houses....all the paints are old making the city not looking good.....😅
Those symbols is what they copy and create emojis
Siano look good on you.
A one hour video?! Ok, Dela!
😂😂😂😂. I didn’t know how to cut it down lol
I’m wondering if you’ve been to your home town. You’re Ewe right?
Yes I’ve been plenty of times. Yep Ewe
Dela where is the location of the printing tour please? Thx.
I don’t know. I failed geography in school and I didn’t organise anything personally 😂
@@moretodela eeeiiiii Dela! You failed geography and you can’t follow Google direction? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You should have driven to Kumasi instead of taking a plane nice hand weaving materials 😊
I had to be back home the same day
Dela you should've zoomed in to the symbols. I want to know what the Aya one looks like, the one on only the king is entitled to.🤣
Ahhh sorry, I was engrossed at the same time I was filming lol
This place is Ntonso
Kumasi is clean than Accra
It’s great to see you exploring other parts of Ghana. We should call you Dela the explorer 😂
😂😂😂😂
I love that 😂🥰
😂😂
I wish you'll change your caption and write something different
Why?
She dropped at the Kumasi airport and immediately concluded that Kumasi is a lot smaller meanwhile you had not even entered the city 😂.
The airport was small
The airport was smaller than expected.
Why, should that mall be in Accra? Kumasi deserves it too, Accra is all hype😊very soon you wouldn't want to be in Accra you will relocate. Ghana is just not Accra.

😃😃😃
🤣🤣🤣And here are the Kente cloths Dela made earlier behind her🤣🤣🤣🤣
Exactly. 1 for only $2000 😂
❤️🇬🇭
First to watched
Dela, you're excused for your 9 year absence in Kumasi. This educational video and coverage makes up for your absence.🤣🤣
Lol thank you 🙏🏾
Absence
❤
When they are doing the dance are these men the chiefs
Yes correct
But Ghana have a lot of gold to koffer their expenses!!
Asante’s matrilineal hence the ‘power’ lying with the females
💞💞💞💞🇧🇧
It sounds like: Min-She- yah ok I might have heard wrong lol
I think that’s right
This video is too long. What will cause Ghana's Economy to collapse please?
Akufo Addo
The economy already collapsed
Ooooo 😂😂😂
@@moretodela no disrespect at all... that is why the government borrow 3 billion USD from IMF,, and other loans from different sources

@@frankbediako1372 ok
I am a Ghanaian but to be honest I'm not impress of Kumasi, looks very old and poor to me...I have never been there though.
Really? You don't know what you're talking about. Don't let the old town fool you. Kumasi is very beautiful and there are many beautiful areas.
The old part also make it better. It tells a story. And Kumasi is a business center. Buy a ticket and go expirience for yourself.
@@Ghanadiaries do you like those unkempt buildings in the video?
Although the buildings are old,they should be painted and renovated.
That’s typically African when the owner dies, no one takes care of their properties
@@Head_Onthose old compounds buildings are over 100 years old. Unfortunately they are moving those people to new sites to build businesses. Those are original Kumasi architects.
@@ammaluv2 but those old houses could be renovated to become attractive.
They don’t have to break them down
@@Head_On i agree with you. Some of those who inherit the properties only cares about the money.
I really hope Ghana's economy doesn't collapse. Might happen soon tho, unfortunately.
