Beautiful Kumasi. We have also area called "Koumassi" in Côte d'ivoire🇨🇮
Watch out for video of San Pedro. Beautiful city too

🎉
Koumassi in Cote d I voice is beautiful too
Ghana is beautiful. Must love from senegal🇸🇳
Thanks for voting for the young president for Africa
African countries are beautiful. Love from Nigeria.
Nigeria is beautiful too. Greetings from Ghana
Greetings from ivory coast,Very clean and calm,I love it, this is what's called a developed city, very beautiful 😍,
I grew up in Kumasi in the 80’s and 90’s. It’s a great cultural city and seeing so much development lately. Miss it so much! I’m due a visit after being gone for so long.
I think we are in our early 40s
Due to your video, my family and I will move to Kumasi.
I am considering it too to base my wife and daughter
That's where my house is
Baoula tribe same people migrated from here in Kumasi the Ashanti tribe to form the majority in Ivory Coast. One people
Kumasi is a very beautiful city, I love it there
Can’t wait for the construction of the airport city in Kumasi we will get there
Kumasi is beautiful
That was awesome!! All your videos about Africa portrays good image of our cities and cultures....
Kumasi is nice and neat, considering its size
I can humbly say that Nigeria and Ghana are the only countries in west Africa that spread development in all their cities the rest only focus on their capital cities so u guys should stop comparing the rest the rest of west African countries to these two countries
Peace out ✌️
@franrichroday8663 people like you make unnecessary comments any how. How many cities in Ghana have you visited, have you ever been Takoradi, Cape cost, Koforidua, Tamale or even Ho, useless comment
@@kwadwoagyepong1782Dont mind these nigerians. Sunyani is also very nice.
@@franrichroday8663what are you talking about? Even Nigeria, as big as it is, it only has just 3 fine cities. Abuja, Lagos and Port Harcourt. The rest are all trash. Lagos is even becoming trashy and trashy everyday.
You're right
@@franrichroday8663Nitwit! Ghana is the most urbanized country in West Africa.
i prefer to live in Kumasi than Accra
I like the way he mentioned Tanoso Bantama and Ahodwo
Kumasi City So Exzellent nice
Very nice Kumasi
I love the greenery of Kumasi
It had more trees 🌳 in the 70s and 80s, that's why the Queen of England dubbed it "Garden City." Unfortunately, the trees have been cut down for development. Sadly, there has never been an effort to replant them.
@@christiandanso8335 oh so the queen tagged it garden city?
@@markntiri8251 yes when she first visited Ghana.
Nicknamed "Garden City" for sure
I need to visit kumasi
Another great video my brotha.
Well done my man. Great work showing the best of Africa
Beautiful city!
Wow. I like the background music. Great
Thanks for showing some of the nice and beautiful residential areas of Kumasi. Being a native of Ghana who grew up in Kumasi, it was interesting to hear how you pronounce some of the suburbs' names. Thanks for showing the city of Kumasi to the world.
Wow, that's beautiful! It reminds me of neighborhoods in Kigali that i've seen videos of. Kumasi is definitely a lot more attractive, green and clean than places I've seen in Asia, South America and even in the US. I'm impressed.
Excellent video by all standards ❤
Just beautiful ❤
Beautiful 😍
Is true that in Ghana the don't build many skyscrapers but what they are doing on the ground are insane.
Bro country devoloping is not about skyscrapers
Our Kumasi
Kumasi ❤
Nice
Watching from London thanks
Amazing and beautiful 😍 ❤ Kumasi
Kumasi looks really nice, they've improved the place over time.
Actually, he didn't capture any of the first class neighbourhoods in Kumasi, he only showed the old suburbs. Diamond Hills, Hilltop, Prabon Greenfields etc
Oseikrom for real❤
You are always good at what you do
Thank you
Sir can I get a land to buy at ohwimase hill top
Beautiful but You missed one thing. Manhyia was to feature in this. The PALACE
The Garden city of west Africa
actual major improvement compared to what i saw of it in 2020
Tha's My Home Town❤
Though you have done a good job projecting Kumasi, you should do a video of plush residential areas as you did for Accra.
It's not about showing plush. It's about giving the general look of the city. Maybe there are some plush gated estates that look better or not as good. But this video gives a clear view of the city for anyone
Thanks for showcasing our city to the world. The accent used to pronounce the city's name got me laughing.
wow , they have actually started cleaning the streets and are maintaining green areas .
We have been cleaning the city always and for a very long time.
Kumasi is far cleaner and less stressful and calmer than the capital city. Cost of leaving is extremely cheap more than 50% below the cost of leaving in Accra.
I recommend tourist and the diasporas and African American to start relocating there and they will thank me later.
Housing, food, Transportation etc are so cheaper than Accra.
A wonder why African Americans and other tourist will always want to choose Accra because they don’t explore the other part of the country for better leaving standards and excitement.
Food which May cost GHc 200 in Accra , can cost with the same ingredients GHc70 in Kumasi.
Rent costing GHc 4,000 per month in Accra can cost GHc 300 to GHc 600 per month in Kumasi.
Your videos are mind blowing 🔥. The effort you put into your videos is very impressive. I saw your videos of universities from other countries. Please do university of Ghana if you get the opportunity 👍🏽.
Thank you. Yes it's coming
Santasi my home town, it was a village a few years ago, now look
KUMASI the imperial city where power resides.
Really BEAUTIFUL CITY!
What about the BOANKRA INLAND PORT?
Nice video but please next time let us have a drone view also
My hometown
❤❤❤❤❤
I prefer kumasi to Accra, feels authentic. Some of the roads are now dualised, which really helps open up the city. Thank you.
So nice of you
How many 3 lane roads do you have? I like how compact and built-up Kumasi is, but it doesn't wow me. Nothing avant garde/bespoke in your houses, designs etc. There should be an egg house, a ship house, etc etc like can be seen in Accra.
@markntiri8251 "three lane roads"? The cardinal principles of road construction in urban planning are to ease congestion and increase access through networks. It is a waste of of resources to build three lane roads if not needed. Visit New York, Chicago, London, and DC (cities I am conversant with cos I live or have lived) and see how many 3 lane roads they have (networks, overpasses and interchanges are more important!).
Why should Kumasi have "egg", "ship houses", etc. like? Every city is unque, and that's the beauty. Paris, Rome, DC, LA, NY and Chicago do not look the same and they have their own unique architectural styles. DC, for example, heavily restricts high rise buildings or skyscrapers (it doesn't have any) but is still a beautiful city!
@@frankbediako1372 design of stuff must serve both a FUNCTIONAL and AESTHETIC need. Kumasi is a city, our second city at that, and it's architecture/spaces must reflect that: beautiful edifices etc.
Kumasi does poorly in their architecture. Why? The only beautiful building I've seen there is that thankful heights building. Everything else is ugly. Aden? Don't their architects know modernist avant garde stuff?
Look at Nana Bediako's no 1 oxford street building. Look at that kasapreko and villagio buidings at tetteh quarshie. Look at ecobank's iconic headquarters in Accra etc. Very beautiful out of the ordinary buildings. Those are stuff the Kumasi folks should be building, as testament to the worldclassness of their architects etc
Kromu ay3 tantantan saa Aden? Kenyan youtuber is in Abuja now and you should see the beauty orderliness of the space
When she showed Accra some months back I couldn't defend the disorder, ugliness we saw. A whole capital city
Cities are banning plastic, we can't ban. Countries are doing Bus Rapid Transit BRT we can't do. We're still doing trotro, we can't do a MODERN public transport system. Cities are doing electric buses/train. Go and look at poorer Senegal running an electric train. Our korle, odaw in the middle of town is polluted. Etc etc
And you don't want us to talk?
@markntiri8251 building all this won't in anyway beautify Kumasi if the fundamentals of how a city should be is still lacking. It will just be another lipstick 💄 on a pig 🐖 just like the Pokuase interchange in Accra.
Yes also Kumasi is in Ivory Coast because queen Pokua did not left the culture and names behind she took them along to Ivory Coast
The home and origin of the kente cloth
Even you did not went to Ahodwo, Daban New site,Paraku etc those are the nicest place than all in Kumasi 💯
True
Atasomanso, TUC, Ohwimase Hill Top, Diamond City, Nhyiaeso, Danyame, etc
Valuable info about kumasi. However, do check your pronunciations of the places you mention for the sake of visitors & tourists. Or you'd be directing to the wrong areas!! And hopefully, your next video will show us the inside of the cultural centres, the market, KNUST, etc. At best add subtitles for the names of places. We need more tourists in kumasi 😊
Merci
Road lines and signs please
Kwame Nkrumah University is not in Tanoso. It's Appiah Menkah University that's in Tanoso on Abuakwa Road. Kwame Nkrumah University is in Kentinkrono, which is on Ejisu Road.
You really know your town very well.
Please KNUST is located at Ayeduase not kentinkrono
@@user-yk4po5td1o The original land of KNUST was 17 kilometer square which included part of Kentinkrono. . The Adwaase part of KNUST was the first to be developed, then in 70s people started encroaching so the Kentinkrono part was fully encroached, sold by the chiefs and other traditional leaders. Adwaase was a tiny unknown village back then so everyone referred to KNUST as being at Kentinkrono. I believe you heard the Otumfuo vowed sometime ago to confront anyone who tries to encroach on KNUST land again.
OSEIKROM
Ahodwo or Ahad wo?
Im a bit surprised its kind of cleaner than in the 90ties
Ah, nineties paa?
@@authorvams
Yes, dear in the 1990s GHANA used to be very dirty l was young and left 1994 but anytime l visit GHANA it's always improving...
There were other equally clean and well tidied towns and cities in the nineties, in GHANA
Actually that’s not true! Kumasi was much cleaner in the 80’s and 90’s when Town Council authorities were active. People cleaned their areas quite often for fear of being fined.
That’s facts cos I grew up there in those years.
Kumasi is mostly clean. It’s only in Kejetia u would see filth and chaos but I will attribute that to the construction of the Kumasi market that has brought the market women on the streets and trust me u wouldn’t want to pass that side of Kumasi. But in all I will say Kumasi is fairly neat.
Hahaha the way he massacres the names 😂
The Name of The City is Kumase not Kumasi!!!!
Investor diatribe from a born again African real estate hustler from USA
Nothing wow in these Kumasi infrastructure. Let's see some 'avant garde/bespoke' architecture like a ship house, a circular house etc. The planners of the city, city dwellers should do 'crazy' more beautiful stuff, not the usual cement block structures
Why don't you go and build it yourself
clown go and build it in ur village
What difference will that make?
There is no sea 🌊 in Kumasi …😂😂😂
Ah so?
Shallow minded person should that be a problem
Instead of you to be thinking about the development of the country see what a grown ass man is thinking smh🤦🏾♀️
And there is no sea in Vegas 🤡
There's lake bosomtwe which gives the beach vibe 😉 many counties don't ve seas.
There is no lane in Accra 😂
There is no culture in Accra 😂
All be lies
continue deceiving yourself th-cam.com/video/XNorrWEAzHE/w-d-xo.html
lies about what
@@amocoertez5485 lies about the whole country. In your mind Accra and Kumasi is Ghana.
tell your John trumu trumu hene mahama we Asantes shit in mouth
@@84mryuppieYou said you Asantes. No doubt you don't want Ghanas development. Do you know why, Asantes are not Ghanaians. Said by Osarfo Marfo. who Mentioned John Mahama here. Your Nana Addo who deals with lesbians is even walking. You fear our golden boy Mahama is coming back, the earlier you embrace his coming the better you save yourselves from commiting suicide.
