I have lived in Ghana for over a year and a half now ... the people are great.. for the most part super friendly .. however .. on time is not in the plans, things are planned for a re-active experience, not a pro-active. When building, it is done close to good, electricity, plumbing, floors, doors, almost square walls, etc. However I am living in Accra as a expat, retired from the USA and it is still interesting to be the only white face in the area... lol .. I still like living here, and will continue to get used to not so cold winters.
@MelaninisaSemiConductor lol, a long story.. I was looking on a Religion dating site for my Nephew as he was 28, living at home with his folks and not dating. figured I would help him and was taken by this photo and small story of a woman living in Accra Ghana .. then said to myself, she is too good for my Nephew. clicked the page and moved on as I was thinking to myself... dang it.. I hate being more mature and single. a small voice said go back and just send her a message, let her decide. by that time i had to go back two pages and then sent her a small note. *nice photos and profile* I, did not think much more about it but 2 days later I got a reply of about 3 paragraphs and we ended up becoming friends .. we talked for almost 4 years before we met and after arriving in Ghana after 8 months on the island of Grenada, we really got along and got married in Dec of 23. So, for me Ghana is different, I grew up on a farm, worked as a Fruit Tramp, *means following the harvest* worked in Arizona and California, both states in the USA. Did not always have a room to sleep in but did have a car and got a paycheck every week when working. Sometimes I feel like there is a white tax, that I am charged more because I am white and I suppose that it means I have more money, my retirement is very good, tho major medical will have to take me back to the US for the important things .. in 4 years it will be time to get a new pacemaker. thank you for your reply back and the questions.
@MelaninisaSemiConductor interesting questions. Retirement income for one, it is good but not that good and the exchange rate for Dollar to Cedi means that I can afford more here in Ghana than I could in say .. Switzerland. I help out Gramma, an Auntie, a sister, a brother.. lol, I don't mind it but do have to keep things in control. having things too easy is a curse, you don't appreciate the things that you do have and look at what you don't have and want more and more. bigger house, fancier car, upgrade the wife or husband. Me, I have always tried to be humble, not full of the I am so great... LOL . I am great.. but prefer to be one who just is kind and polite. I probably should have gone to a South American country but as a kid going to the movies .. Africa seemed more adventuresome and I am too young to put away adventures ... I turn 73 next month, have out lived my younger brothers and feel like I will make it to 84 or 85. I try to be a good man, make good decisions and help others to do the same. as too why more white people don't move to Africa ??? ... too afraid to throw a stone in a glass house I suppose. I would like to get to Kenya and a few other countries in Africa, but Ina got typhoid about 3 months ago and is still suffering the effects of that. May God bless you in your coming week ..
I’m proud of you Jasmine. You have come a long way. I just remember watching your channel before you even considered moving to Ghana. You are passionate and you continue to encourage, educate and empower others. God bless you 🙏🏿. Keep on flourishing 🥁👏🏾🤗
When you say Bring your own comforts I have heard that customs is a nightmare. Such as small appliances (ie. Coffee makers etc) what is the wattage age 110 or 220 does everything need an adapter? What about water pollution for dtinking? Have you done a video about what to look for in renting a good apartment for a year? Do you have to pay for the year in advance?
It is important that you discuss, wifi, water and the electricity. These are all things that you must get use to. It can be a turn off, if you do not know any better.
How bad are the roads actually? I’m in the African diaspora in America and looking for a new place to call home someday. I know times are tough over there but I am praying they will improve for everyone and there will be a bright future. Where I am in the USA, which is pretty urbanized, there are still a lot of dirt roads once you go beyond a certain point and it’s not the worst. I have been to other countries where they were a nightmare like in Cambodia. It once took 10 hours to go 100 KM.
Thank you for being very honest and realistic. We need to stop over hyping things in Africa. The biggest problem is Africa in General infrastructure for the population. Private properties is not national development. #danceless,read more
Hi Jasmine, thanks for the tips, I really need the advice. I am planning to move back to Ghana after living abroad for so many years. I am retired now and would like to rent an apartment for a yr. Can you advise me of where i can find a decent place to rent and their prices.😝🥰
I personally think Africa is more suitable for people that really want to get into homestead living.Live on the land,chase your chicken and goat in the backyard, have a garden rather than looking to be high flying city boy or girl.That way,people won't be too disappointed with the lack of what they might be used to in the west.The people that are disappointed in Africa are mostly those that still want to continue the rat race but in the sunshine,then they quickly realise mama africa does not roll like that,she takes her time!😅 Talk of bad roads,it baffles me why more Africans dont use motorbikes,especially Adventures,(ADV) bikes? Looking at the bad state of the roads in most places and the beautiful,sunny weather most times,motorbikes would make sense.And it's even cheaper to run and maintain,compared to cars with bigger engines.. I hope and pray African leaders would come to their senses and do the right things for the love of motherland and consciousness. Always a pleasure🤸 to see you beautiful queen jasmine. Sending you love!❤🙏
@@a.konadu4010 You have to learn to be comfortable on it.😀 Or pay a lot higher in import duty,car tax,road tax and fuel.lf l were a president in Africa l would make cars so unattractive by higher taxes people would have no choice but to embrace motorbikes.
Ghana is over priced for no reason. I don’t even get it😂 So many people have visited Ghana and they can say the prices don’t make sense for what you get, I think the mentality there is too low and greedy. But the Ghanaians say all their problems is the government. No, it’s you. Sorry 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
If you live in a country where everything is imported, that's what happens. If you want to live in the village or town where things are mostly locally produced, things are cheap. Ghana isn't all about Accra and Tema.
@@Ghanadiaries The price of Jollof rice in Kumasi is sometimes more expensive than accra. What re you telling me. I know ghana well. And it’s not like the jollof taste good at that expensive price too.
@TheChariot99 In Kumasi? Which restaurant? The only place I went to, which had crazy prices, was jofel. I walked away because I wasn't about to spend unnecessary. Kumasi has lower prices compared to Accra, so if it doesn't sit right with you, just don't buy it.
Ghana is a beautiful country. In fact, all African countries are beautiful. The US isn't a beautiful country anymore. But, they're trying to fix that now. But, Africa is way beyond the Americans on a lot of things
Ohemaa Fɛɛfɛ, I disagree with some of your statements. I assume you were born in Ghana or visited the country a few times prior to your immigration, so living in an advanced country doesn't mean you should forget about the local lifestyle and customs. Furthermore, if you are unable to adapt to the infrastructure in certain areas of Ghana, you should consider purchasing, building, or renting in a location that better suits your preferences, such as your previous country of residence. Even here in the U.S., life is hard, so give Ghana a break. By the way, you are a sweet person, and I do not intend to disparage you; I am simply being forthright.
Happy for you to share your opinion Phillip. However, most people cannot afford to live in the areas in Ghana that match the infrastructure in the US or other countries. Things that are available to everyone in the west you may have to pay for out this way.
Hi Jasmine how is life in Ghana currently, compared to when you first arrived. I ask because I haven't known a time when I've heard more people wanting to leave Ghana than now! Everywhere i look, everyone, youth and adults alike, are saying "Kuro mu ayɛ hye" or "nneɛma ayɛ den"
Jasmine is living her best life here..those people who are eager to leave are mostly struggling with daily upkeep because of the rising cost of living..Especially the youth who are unemployed
Please rent a car Diasporans. Taxi drivers will suck your money dry. Dress in cotton. You will sweat like a pig😂. Get solar back up light 😂. Drink lots of bottle water. Come with a cheap unlocked phone. I was lucky my IPhone worked with what’s app here.
Madam showcase the reality here in Ghana. Do not promote propaganda all in the name of promoting Ghana. Ghana is deadest habitat on planet earth these day. People are suffering to even have basic necessities like food, shelter, jobs, and good healthcare. Project this for the politicians to know that they have to do better.
at least she has an option of leaving. What options do Ghanaians have but to tolerate the bad conditions. Thats why as soon as the GH professionals get a visa they head for the airport and leave others to face the hardships. She is NOT saying NOT to come. She is encouraging people to set their expectarions properly but still come.
@connistantoine - and then you will wonder why you people are suffering, instead of listening and taking the advice, you will rather write primitive statement, no one is forcing you to watch or listen to her, you too stop be negative and adjust or move on to other videos which aligns with your mind

Talking of consistency, Jasmin is unbeatable. Beautiful house behind you ❤.

I am indeed 🥰
Great advice. Thanks🌷
Great vid. Thank you for advising people about the in and outs and upsides and downsides of Ghana.

Thank you Jasmine. The roads are a problem for me. I want my life easy, not harder.
Stay where you are
@@giftylarbi1347 Shut up I already live in Ghana.
I will be bringing my JEEP Wrangler with me when I move to Ghana
Ghana is not for you. Go somewhere else. Good luck
@@elisobais Fool I have three homes in Ghana and I am from South Africa, shut up.
It is important that you discuss, wifi, water and the electricity. These are all things that you must get use to. It can be a turn off, if you do not know any better.
I have in alot of my other videos thats why i didn’t repeat xx
Understood but it goes hand and hand with the "what I learned". The roads, transportation, getting a Ghana card and etc...
How bad are the roads actually? I’m in the African diaspora in America and looking for a new place to call home someday. I know times are tough over there but I am praying they will improve for everyone and there will be a bright future.

Tip tip tippy tap on your way to make life easier. 😂
Are you still living in Ghana. I thought you moved back to Australia ??
U must’ve been away from my channel for a long time!
How do you know What we think ?
Don't sound like a Nigerian
Is this free shs
Every where is hard stop complaining
Did u watch the video??
I'm a Indian... Ghana is very hard to live now... nothing move on... ghana is going on their one of worst times
For you,it moves on for others
Because they are chasing the dollar whiles wages stay the same. That mindset is hurting the locals
Which part of the world is not going through worst times now? Tell me.
No one is forcing you to live in Ghana, you can go elsewhere
I I guess India is easy to live 😂😂😂😂
Please rent a car Diasporans. Taxi drivers will suck your money dry. Dress in cotton. You will sweat like a pig😂. Get solar back up light 😂. Drink lots of bottle water. Come with a cheap unlocked phone. I was lucky my IPhone worked with what’s app here.
