The sad thing is businesses on this 'Oxford Street' would see 10 times more customers ready to walk the street if there was a proper sidewalk and covered drainage there. Meaning more tax revenue for the govt. It's an issue in most West African cities where motorists alone are catered for in road infrastructure, with little thought for pedestrians, who are also taxpayers.
If Ghanians are ok that their "most popular street" is named after one street in the capitol of their colonial masters.....well there's nothing to be added. For sure there are many Ghanians outside this comment section who would rename that street even tomorrow.
To those asking about sidewalks, Osu is an old province of Accra and most of these streets were done a long time ago, yes some structures along the sidewalk can be cleared to make way for walks but then the narrow roads will still hinder certain places, and YES the name can be changed but then its become so common that the locals don't really mind. Thanks AT for this video
stop trying to defend nonsense , Oxford street is run down , the streets of London were down 100s of years before you had roads , and England have sidewalks dating back long before white entered africa , Oxford street is not nice and have nothing to show off ,, there's prostitutes everywhere at night and homeless children age 5 and 6 on there streets of Oxford street , ghana people should be so ashamed of the whole country there's black plastic bags and bottles all over the streets
The street needs a complete overhaul. Pedestrians are not supposed to share the road with cars. This is basic planning yet nothing has been done in over 30 years. Absolute disgrace!

For the past 20 years I am in Ghana now on and off I have never understood why this Osu and Oxford Street is so famous. It is a totally unplanned dirty and overcrowded place with no space for pedestrians, dangerous driving, chaos parking, open gatters, deep potholes and dangerous driving. So what for???

The fact that it's famous doesn't mean it should be flawless. You get the drift? Just like Queens, New York is very popular yet you know what I mean. Lol
Yes, that's one thing I don't like about streets in most African countries; open gutters. They are filled with stagnant rain water and trash. What a shame.

No amount of advocacy can defeat the logic of a solid fact. Ghanaians still have a lot of work to do in their country. They should rightly be measuring up with their neighbouring countries, Togo, Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso. They have a lot to learn from Nigeria, South Africa, Morocco, Kenya, Ethiopia, DRC, Algeria, Angola, etc in Africa. They should stop the hype to be able to get it right!
Every country got something to work on. We will not look at any neighbourhood country. We are not in competition with any one so keep your comment to yourself. God bless ouR home land Ghana

@@lavbcottage7768 People from across Africa follow African Tigress' channel and videos. From what Africans and the rest of the world have seen here about Ghana, everyone was lied to about Ghana.

And people who call themselves "AFRICAN TIGRESS" will start to criticise all names related to their colonial masters and don't try to be popular on TH-cam by not touching real AFRICAN issues.
This place is so badly run down how could anyone be proud of such bad infrastructure, and where’s the pavements to walk lol 😂 this is typical of African society
Beloved African Tigress: I immensely enjoy reading the snippets of information contained in the read boxes; I asertained the reading to be educational and informative.
Oxford Street became popular because of the night market - street vendors selling food for those enjoying the city at night. Some stores have been added and major businesses are moving there but it is just a night market. Now, a lot of nightclubs and restaurants are within the vicinity but not on Oxford Street. Think of it like Liverpool Street in the UK or 125th Street Harlem. Famous but not for it's beauty.
Had a great time in Accra, Oxford Street is the main Street in Osu and it's a fun nice place to go in Accra. Don't knock it until you're there in person.
@@afrikanheritage99 I don't know where you're from, however just because it's maybe not what you're use to doesn't mean that it's not nice. They have respect for each other there so when someone is walking down the street they have the courtesy to move over in their car. Don't go looking for the same thing you left. It is different.
@@kana-35 They're Nigerians, they think they're the best in West Africa so when other others are doing well they become jealous. Their country full of bandits jealous after all of this they will playing victim card that Ghanaians hate them
In the 1970s I used to be a school bus driver in London and I thought that was chaotic, but this is much busier and more chaotic. Oxford Street was always crowded like your Oxford Street with all the daily hustle and bustle. Love the video.
It's only illiterates who engage in such petty arguments of "who's country is better" knowing well that the whole of Africa is labeled 3rd world. Africans will never unite to build up the continent but will always have time for petty comparisons and arguments on youtube. Smh
I was scared for you walking in the middle of the road like that at some point. Why no side walks? Although I love the rain and the fresh air it brings ❤
What a beautiful street. Looks like streets in Europe and North America. Hope Cameroon can learn from Accra to help in the embellissement of some of its cities.
I think Ghana is a victim of its own positive advocacy. It’s so gentrified out there. But there are no matching infrastructure to back it up. There is no way an Oxford street shouldn’t be dualised with walk ways and green area. Africa love🌍
It’s a reflection of poverty of ideas of our leaders. Oxford street needs a boulevard and that’s it. I ll prioritize this(and many narrow Accra streets) to a pokuase interchange, my opinion. Africa Love🌍
I hope from today, Zimbabweans, after watching this video will learn to appreciate and be proud of cities. Harare, Bulawayo, Gweru, Mutare, Kwekwe, Vic Falls are really developed cities, clean and beautiful. We should learn to appreciate what we have, just like how Ghanaians are proud of their cities.
Oxford Street is famous for its night market, nightclubs and street vendors. The comparison to Harare should be made with Airport City, Cantonments, Ridge, East Legon, Ringway Estates.
@@NanaKNOwusu Thanks for the educating me there. So the places you highlighted are they like surbubs within the city of Accra or there are cities/towns on their own? If these are surbubs, which surbubs in Harare would be the equivalent to the Ones you mentioned. My point to Zimbabweans was that if you hear them bashing their cities, you would think that maybe the cities have been damaged and now look like war destroyed Syrian cities like Allepo. A lot of people in Africa actually think that Zim cities are are probably the worst in Africa when in actual fact there are amongst the best on the content, and this is because Zimbabweans themselves do lead in the bashing and coupled with negative publicity from some news channels, citizens of the world have made to believe that Zimbabwe is in the stone ages
Love the vibes and the hustle but in truth I expected Accra and more so it's most famous street, Oxford to be better than this. I know all African countries are a work in progress but this gives me special appreciation for the city of Nairobi and Kenya. Nairobi looks miles ahead of Accra. Even the dingy streets of Nairobi city centre look way better than Oxford street. Just my observations.
Kenyans should clap for their country!! Majority who don’t appreciate have never set foot out of Kenya. But Ghanaians will be first to shout how dirty Nairobi is and quote Kibera and their usual GDP per capita warped understanding. Show folks Old Fadama and Kibera is actually much better. Never seen deluded folks who defend nonsense all the time as if people do not travel.
@@esem135, really, what are you talking about, are we in competition? We are so burning out of shape with a shallow mindless and quick to drill a hole to sink the whole ship. We are all in the same boat trying to stay afloat in Africa, if you have been able to figure it out in Kenya, all your street are in good shape , your economy is booming , unemployment is at all time low in Kenya history bless your heart and enjoy your achievement and allow Ghana to figure it out too on their own pace. How does Ghanaian deluded forks' nonsense making affect you in Kenya? Let's me know how it has deprived you of eating your food every day?
Honestly opinion, if I was to live in Ghana it would be Tema,(a bit boring but silent and cool, amazing roads and stable electricity), Kenya would be naivasha(Nakuru), water, hippos, hiking, AT what are your thoughts?
One thing that i have seen is that whilst there is new buildings coming up with modern glass facades, there has not been investments on that road to accomodate these new buildings. A 10 storey building will obviously attract tenants that do business with a lot of clients. The tenants will need parking, their clients will also need parking, so for me that street is way too narrow and does not have enough parking bays to match how the kind of traffic it attracts. And once you have 5 buildings for instances that are 5 storeys or more in that street, you will get congestion. I hope in future, the city will relocate those vending stores/tents/tuckshops and some of the older buildings on the other side of the road and then expand the road to accomodate 1. Side walks for pedestrians 2. parking bays 3. filter lanes for traffic turning to the left (to avoid disrupting flow of traffic going straight ahead). Serious sacrifices must made and some building must be let go. Accra has such a big reputation which must be matched by world class city layout (order, organization). Another thing to consider aswell, is the size of the buildings on the streets, the nature of businesses to operate there. From the description of the street, this is like the WALL STREET of Accra, the financial district of the city. Not every kind of business an operate in that street. Serious zoning by laws must put in place and enforced.
@@erolireuben1661 We are talking about what we see. They are multi storey buildings in those 10 minutes of video and across the road there are vending stores. I'm not putting down that street, but rather pointing what it is I think can improve the functionality and appeal of that street in general. If you choose to view my comments as "Africans got issues" its entirely up to you. Is it not a fact that expanding the road to my make it 2 lanes either way, adding filter lanes and parking bays, would improve traffic flow? Is this the suggestion you are defining as "African got issues"? If it is, well good luck for you for not having "African got issues". And here is wishing Ghana all the success in future
Wow! Definitely impressed with your well thoughts out plan for this street, a probable solution I think will not only improve the functionality but also dd to the overall beauty of the street. Pardon my curiosity, did you major in Urban and regional planning?
@@saheedaileru6850 I did major in urban planning at collage and part I take particular interest in urban planning in particular. I have some case studies that I have followed of urban renewal projects around the world. I applaud a lot of projects on our continent and some of them just a little bit extra to make them at par with other projects elsewhere in the world. For me Urban renewal is now a passion. Africa has the benefit of being able to do brand new projects "the correct way" because we are not as heavily burdened with old, expensive infrastructure from centuries past (like European cities), we have the benefit of implementing new trends NOW. Look at Dubai, everything they have done is NEW, TRENDY because they are coming from a point not having anything (ZERO point to nearly ZERO), same as us hear in Africa. Lets use those cities as Case studies and do "Future proof cities" that are designed with projected growths of 50 years into the future. I have noticed we do the NOW in a lot of our projects

Great episode, nice street, I could have named it after the great Kwame Nkrumah, like many other cities in Africa does Accra have street named after African heroes and heroines
@@tvs9978 You missed my point and the question after. My point was if I had my way I could have named ( the vlogger introduced Oxford Street as the busiest and most famous) the most famous street in Accrra after its greatest son. My question was is Ghana following the trend of some other African countries cities like Nairobi and Addid Ababa naming its cities after our great leaders. I dont know and that is why I am asking. The little I have seen of Accrra the street are named after flowers and western names
@@andeyo1 lol I didn't answer that question because it's a rather poorly thought one so I didn't think it dignified an answer. Of course, there are streets named after African heroes in Ghana. Do you really think the leaders across the ages wouldn't do that? It goes without saying. Just because you've seen 3-5 streets with flower or generic names doesn't mean that all the streets are like that. It's like me seeing a video of a slum in a city and thinking all parts of a country look like that. At some point, we have to start using common sense when we consume images in the media. There are streets named after Patrice Lumumba, Amilcar Cabral, former President Mills, etc and FYI the busiest streets in a city vary from decade to decade. Back in the day, the street named after Kwame Nkrumah was the largest and busiest because that was the city centre. The city centre has shifted three times since the 60s so Kwame Nkrumah Avenue is no longer the busiest street. The city authorities are not going to rename streets every decade to match business activity on a street
This is one of the things that remain from colonisation, I think. Im Ivorian and i'm sick of hearing french names given to the streets of Abidjan. The new prez is changing that little by little by giving Ivorian names to the infrastructures that are being built. Im even surprised we don't have a Drogba street yet 🤦♀️🤦♀️
My observation from these streets, over all are very cultural and local... They are not in step with moving forward in 21st century, not at all modern for safety and tourist expectation, land mark? very disorderly and chaotic seen through the eyes of outsiders...Where are the sidewalks and traffic lights to keep things run orderly! A city? I’m all for culture, just my observation ?.??? 🤷🏻♀️
It still blows my mind how many cities like this lack street signs, traffic lights, or crosswalks. Like... why? There also seems to be absolutely no concept of "right of way." People just go when they want to go.
Howdy Tigress. My main comment is that the street be upgraded and the name oxford change to a local African name. Note, wherever the queen of england sets her feet, there has to be streets named after ones in England. Thanks for your showing in the rain. The rain helps clean pollution.

Oxford Street is in Osu, one of the expensive parts of Accra, Ghana after Cantonment, East Legon, and Airport residential. I will just share this video with my pal in Canada who has been asking about how developed Ghana is. Nice video!

I am so impressed with Accra. Overall not that busy. Organized in general, developed and clean. What was noticeable the many new cars on the streets. Thank you so much for your videos. They are really helpful to give an idea on the place.
Am a Ghanaian living in Ghana...I just realized ever since she came to Ghana the negative comments about Ghana from other countries in the comments section was just fascinating
I understand we all always want to defend our countries. Nigerians should understand that Ghana/ Nigeria would push each other vis versa because in the West they’re the best(and Anglophone) it’s not like East Africa where you have over 4 speaking English. So, Ghana can only reach its potential if she works with Nigeria because it doesn’t matter how we sugarcoat it, in East Africa Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania is still more developed than Ghana in fact small Rwanda is flexing muscles as well. I personally complained about the small roads and sidewalks, Lagos is like that for the most part but understand we don’t consider Lagos a role model in terms of structure, only A go, Ego(money)😀
In all these countries the division of wealth is the issue. A small but extremely rich upper class, relatively small middle class and large % living in poverty, where middle class is ideally the largest group. Health care accessibility for all is what makes a country truly developed.
You sound like a nigerian by the way you compare those east-African countries to Ghana. Fact is with the exception of small parts in South-Africa no African country can really brag about an acceptable/significant standard of development.
@@romanaabo3664 I know. I've made a similar comment about such childish comparisons. Ghanaians and Nigerians have no business comparing one country to the other. It's meaningless since we are all in the same boat. I used South-Africa just to illustrate an example in response to the stubborn comments which doesn't mean I look up to that SA as a role model for development.
@@chrisl8815 bro, even in SA only the white side is that small part you are talking about . What I have seen all over African is pockets of development, some cities, areas, streets but still there are huge developments but population for Nigeria is a counter to her growth,
And Ghanaians are proud of this so called Oxford street? What a disgrace! My Osu kinkawe and Osu Ari community what are you doing about the filth and pavements encroachment? What a joke😡
I am impressed by your objective criticism of your country. This is part of our civil responsibility to facilitate the development of our countries by holding our leaders accountable. It's not enabling them, cheerleading their corruption and dysfunction by choosing to be delusional and in denial of reality of the state of our national infrastructure. while our leaders getting a pass to divert our funds to somewhere else.

Hi African Tigress, I understand that you're trying to show different sides of the city and I respect that but western media houses have already done a good job showing the ugly side of Africa. For a very long time, Africans have not been able to sell ourselves to the world because we have no media giants but TH-cam now gives us the unique opportunity to showcase the positive sides that western media never showed and I think we should take it. We need to be deliberate and aggressive about pushing positive stories if we're going to undo all those years of negative press. Peace ✌🏾and all the best in your endeavours.
I actually do balanced content. It's very tasking to go filming in some places that people might want me to film. For example, the exclusive neighborhoods, you must have connections there to even go through. The top resorts , they might not allow filming, unless I'm really staying there! This Oxford street is listed as a top place to visit in Accra Ghana. Surely there's nothing wrong walking through the streets filming. The beauty of a country lies in it's people. Maybe in future with enough funds I'll be able to get a cinematic videographer and editor for better angles.
Hi AT, thanks for your reply. I know you do balanced content, I've watched you from the days of "all things mercyline" and I've always appreciated your hard work.

Then, take a flight to their Mega Cities NYC, LA, DC, Chicago and see tons of drug addicts and homeless folks lining streets and sleeping in subway trains with their trash. This is America oo.

Lol abput Nigeria, What about Mainland Lagos which is very disorganized, heavy in traffic and not that clean, Nepa always withold elecricity. and yiu are here talking about Ghana can learn from Nigeria. We have better Healthcare, Schoolsystem, proper democracy freedom of speech, even our president seek healthcare in our own country and does not travel abroad.
@@lavbcottage7768 People from across Africa follow African Tigress' channel and videos. From what Africans and the rest of the world have seen here about Ghana, everyone was lied to about Ghana. Everything there looks like the village of Umbgbokolo that one popular East African comedian always refers to. Work harder guys to meet up with the rest of Africa.
GHANA LIKE ALL OF AFRICA WILL FREE HERSELF FROM NEOCOLONISATION AND DEVELOP VERY SOON. LOVE FROM SA
You're 100% correct !
And people who call themselves "AFRICAN TIGRESS" will start to criticise all names related to their colonial masters and don't try to be popular on TH-cam by not touching real AFRICAN issues.
I am enjoying the views from South Africa. I will be supporting Ghana in the world cup.

Such a wonderful place Ghana is . Love from India 🇮🇳
This place is so badly run down how could anyone be proud of such bad infrastructure, and where’s the pavements to walk lol 😂 this is typical of African society
Beloved African Tigress: I immensely enjoy reading the snippets of information contained in the read boxes; I asertained the reading to be educational and informative.
Oxford Street became popular because of the night market - street vendors selling food for those enjoying the city at night. Some stores have been added and major businesses are moving there but it is just a night market. Now, a lot of nightclubs and restaurants are within the vicinity but not on Oxford Street.
Think of it like Liverpool Street in the UK or 125th Street Harlem. Famous but not for it's beauty.
Liverpool Street and other streets in London has sidewalks for humans to walk safely
@@slaveman2818 Good point. Tell that to the local authority.
I don't care what it's popular for- this kind of street shouldn't exist in capital city.
All I can say is that, It's sad and heartbreaking to see Ghana, a great country of Africa in this position.

The street is looking busy …. I can see a lot businesses on along the street … interest, a must visit
Because it's raining and it's normally busy at night as it's 24/7 on that street
In the 1970s I used to be a school bus driver in London and I thought that was chaotic, but this is much busier and more chaotic. Oxford Street was always crowded like your Oxford Street with all the daily hustle and bustle. Love the video.
The insult Abuja has received being compared to accra is funny😂
Lol

And this is why there is no strong Panafrican unit. Africans rather envy and bully each other than build up together.
It's only illiterates who engage in such petty arguments of "who's country is better" knowing well that the whole of Africa is labeled 3rd world. Africans will never unite to build up the continent but will always have time for petty comparisons and arguments on youtube. Smh

What a beautiful street. Looks like streets in Europe and North America. Hope Cameroon can learn from Accra to help in the embellissement of some of its cities.
I think Ghana is a victim of its own positive advocacy. It’s so gentrified out there. But there are no matching infrastructure to back it up. There is no way an Oxford street shouldn’t be dualised with walk ways and green area. Africa love🌍
It’s a reflection of poverty of ideas of our leaders. Oxford street needs a boulevard and that’s it. I ll prioritize this(and many narrow Accra streets) to a pokuase interchange, my opinion. Africa Love🌍
@@kennykross3306 infrastructure is sacrosanct for investment, especially foreign. Bottom line is our leaders need to do more, not only in Ghana.
You're right
Well said. We need more honest Ghanaian like you.
Have u been uk b4?
I hope from today, Zimbabweans, after watching this video will learn to appreciate and be proud of cities. Harare, Bulawayo, Gweru, Mutare, Kwekwe, Vic Falls are really developed cities, clean and beautiful. We should learn to appreciate what we have, just like how Ghanaians are proud of their cities.
Yes Zimbabwean cities are far better than this
That Bulawayo is top notch🔥
Oxford Street is famous for its night market, nightclubs and street vendors. The comparison to Harare should be made with Airport City, Cantonments, Ridge, East Legon, Ringway Estates.
@@NanaKNOwusu Thanks for the educating me there. So the places you highlighted are they like surbubs within the city of Accra or there are cities/towns on their own? If these are surbubs, which surbubs in Harare would be the equivalent to the Ones you mentioned. My point to Zimbabweans was that if you hear them bashing their cities, you would think that maybe the cities have been damaged and now look like war destroyed Syrian cities like Allepo. A lot of people in Africa actually think that Zim cities are are probably the worst in Africa when in actual fact there are amongst the best on the content, and this is because Zimbabweans themselves do lead in the bashing and coupled with negative publicity from some news channels, citizens of the world have made to believe that Zimbabwe is in the stone ages
@@earthlycitizen2155 All those places he made mention are all in Accra ..thnx
Love the vibes and the hustle but in truth I expected Accra and more so it's most famous street, Oxford to be better than this. I know all African countries are a work in progress but this gives me special appreciation for the city of Nairobi and Kenya. Nairobi looks miles ahead of Accra. Even the dingy streets of Nairobi city centre look way better than Oxford street. Just my observations.
Kenyans should clap for their country!! Majority who don’t appreciate have never set foot out of Kenya. But Ghanaians will be first to shout how dirty Nairobi is and quote Kibera and their usual GDP per capita warped understanding. Show folks Old Fadama and Kibera is actually much better. Never seen deluded folks who defend nonsense all the time as if people do not travel.
@@esem135, really, what are you talking about, are we in competition? We are so burning out of shape with a shallow mindless and quick to drill a hole to sink the whole ship.

Ghana can create employment for unskilled people by teaching them road work( road maintenance) then set them to keep the street and cities clean.
Accra is beautiful and nicer than Kingston... moreover, there are construction companies in Accra, they responsible for maintenance work.

Honestly opinion, if I was to live in Ghana it would be Tema,(a bit boring but silent and cool, amazing roads and stable electricity), Kenya would be naivasha(Nakuru), water, hippos, hiking, AT what are your thoughts?
Great content I love it 🇳🇬❤🇬🇭
One thing that i have seen is that whilst there is new buildings coming up with modern glass facades, there has not been investments on that road to accomodate these new buildings. A 10 storey building will obviously attract tenants that do business with a lot of clients. The tenants will need parking, their clients will also need parking, so for me that street is way too narrow and does not have enough parking bays to match how the kind of traffic it attracts. And once you have 5 buildings for instances that are 5 storeys or more in that street, you will get congestion. I hope in future, the city will relocate those vending stores/tents/tuckshops and some of the older buildings on the other side of the road and then expand the road to accomodate 1. Side walks for pedestrians 2. parking bays 3. filter lanes for traffic turning to the left (to avoid disrupting flow of traffic going straight ahead). Serious sacrifices must made and some building must be let go. Accra has such a big reputation which must be matched by world class city layout (order, organization). Another thing to consider aswell, is the size of the buildings on the streets, the nature of businesses to operate there. From the description of the street, this is like the WALL STREET of Accra, the financial district of the city. Not every kind of business an operate in that street. Serious zoning by laws must put in place and enforced.
We Africans got issues, how do you judge a whole city based on a 10 minutes video clip?
@@erolireuben1661 Apparently if this is touted as tourist attraction whenever in Ghana. Says alot about the city in general
@@erolireuben1661 We are talking about what we see. They are multi storey buildings in those 10 minutes of video and across the road there are vending stores. I'm not putting down that street, but rather pointing what it is I think can improve the functionality and appeal of that street in general. If you choose to view my comments as "Africans got issues" its entirely up to you. Is it not a fact that expanding the road to my make it 2 lanes either way, adding filter lanes and parking bays, would improve traffic flow? Is this the suggestion you are defining as "African got issues"? If it is, well good luck for you for not having "African got issues". And here is wishing Ghana all the success in future
Wow! Definitely impressed with your well thoughts out plan for this street, a probable solution I think will not only improve the functionality but also dd to the overall beauty of the street. Pardon my curiosity, did you major in Urban and regional planning?
@@saheedaileru6850 I did major in urban planning at collage and part I take particular interest in urban planning in particular. I have some case studies that I have followed of urban renewal projects around the world. I applaud a lot of projects on our continent and some of them just a little bit extra to make them at par with other projects elsewhere in the world. For me Urban renewal is now a passion. Africa has the benefit of being able to do brand new projects "the correct way" because we are not as heavily burdened with old, expensive infrastructure from centuries past (like European cities), we have the benefit of implementing new trends NOW. Look at Dubai, everything they have done is NEW, TRENDY because they are coming from a point not having anything (ZERO point to nearly ZERO), same as us hear in Africa. Lets use those cities as Case studies and do "Future proof cities" that are designed with projected growths of 50 years into the future. I have noticed we do the NOW in a lot of our projects

Another great vlog Oxford Street is indeed very exciting and vibrant area
Can't wait for this video. Tuned in
Always welcome
Great episode, nice street, I could have named it after the great Kwame Nkrumah, like many other cities in Africa does Accra have street named after African heroes and heroines
Do you really imagine that there's no street in Accra named after Nkrumah?
@@tvs9978 You missed my point and the question after. My point was if I had my way I could have named ( the vlogger introduced Oxford Street as the busiest and most famous) the most famous street in Accrra after its greatest son. My question was is Ghana following the trend of some other African countries cities like Nairobi and Addid Ababa naming its cities after our great leaders. I dont know and that is why I am asking. The little I have seen of Accrra the street are named after flowers and western names
@@andeyo1 lol I didn't answer that question because it's a rather poorly thought one so I didn't think it dignified an answer. Of course, there are streets named after African heroes in Ghana. Do you really think the leaders across the ages wouldn't do that? It goes without saying. Just because you've seen 3-5 streets with flower or generic names doesn't mean that all the streets are like that. It's like me seeing a video of a slum in a city and thinking all parts of a country look like that. At some point, we have to start using common sense when we consume images in the media. There are streets named after Patrice Lumumba, Amilcar Cabral, former President Mills, etc and FYI the busiest streets in a city vary from decade to decade. Back in the day, the street named after Kwame Nkrumah was the largest and busiest because that was the city centre. The city centre has shifted three times since the 60s so Kwame Nkrumah Avenue is no longer the busiest street. The city authorities are not going to rename streets every decade to match business activity on a street
This is one of the things that remain from colonisation, I think. Im Ivorian and i'm sick of hearing french names given to the streets of Abidjan. The new prez is changing that little by little by giving Ivorian names to the infrastructures that are being built. Im even surprised we don't have a Drogba street yet 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Amazing # reminds me of Tom mboya st/ Luthuli Ave etc @254 whn busy. Thx sis ..to walk in such a weather? Kudos👏👏👏🌹❤
My observation from these streets, over all are very cultural and local... They are not in step with moving forward in 21st century, not at all modern for safety and tourist expectation, land mark? very disorderly and chaotic seen through the eyes of outsiders...Where are the sidewalks and traffic lights to keep things run orderly! A city? I’m all for culture, just my observation ?.??? 🤷🏻♀️

Did I just see a Jamaican sign advertising Jamaican Dancehall at 10:40 in the video, yow Jamaica to the World!!!
Yes, but at 10:35

You obviously came here to watch the true video about Ghana.
Am a Ghanaian living in Ghana...I just realized ever since she came to Ghana the negative comments about Ghana from other countries in the comments section was just fascinating
Even positive criticism to Ghanaians everything is negative
I understand we all always want to defend our countries. Nigerians should understand that Ghana/ Nigeria would push each other vis versa because in the West they’re the best(and Anglophone) it’s not like East Africa where you have over 4 speaking English. So, Ghana can only reach its potential if she works with Nigeria because it doesn’t matter how we sugarcoat it, in East Africa Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania is still more developed than Ghana in fact small Rwanda is flexing muscles as well. I personally complained about the small roads and sidewalks, Lagos is like that for the most part but understand we don’t consider Lagos a role model in terms of structure, only A go, Ego(money)😀
In all these countries the division of wealth is the issue. A small but extremely rich upper class, relatively small middle class and large % living in poverty, where middle class is ideally the largest group. Health care accessibility for all is what makes a country truly developed.
You sound like a nigerian by the way you compare those east-African countries to Ghana. Fact is with the exception of small parts in South-Africa no African country can really brag about an acceptable/significant standard of development.
@@chrisl8815 And that's why there's no need to say one of them is more developed than the other like you did.
@@romanaabo3664 I know. I've made a similar comment about such childish comparisons. Ghanaians and Nigerians have no business comparing one country to the other. It's meaningless since we are all in the same boat. I used South-Africa just to illustrate an example in response to the stubborn comments which doesn't mean I look up to that SA as a role model for development.
@@chrisl8815 bro, even in SA only the white side is that small part you are talking about . What I have seen all over African is pockets of development, some cities, areas, streets but still there are huge developments but population for Nigeria is a counter to her growth,

Hi African Tigress,
I understand that you're trying to show different sides of the city and I respect that but western media houses have already done a good job showing the ugly side of Africa. For a very long time, Africans have not been able to sell ourselves to the world because we have no media giants but TH-cam now gives us the unique opportunity to showcase the positive sides that western media never showed and I think we should take it. We need to be deliberate and aggressive about pushing positive stories if we're going to undo all those years of negative press. Peace ✌🏾and all the best in your endeavours.
I actually do balanced content. It's very tasking to go filming in some places that people might want me to film. For example, the exclusive neighborhoods, you must have connections there to even go through. The top resorts , they might not allow filming, unless I'm really staying there!
This Oxford street is listed as a top place to visit in Accra Ghana. Surely there's nothing wrong walking through the streets filming.
The beauty of a country lies in it's people.
Maybe in future with enough funds I'll be able to get a cinematic videographer and editor for better angles.
Hi AT, thanks for your reply. I know you do balanced content, I've watched you from the days of "all things mercyline" and I've always appreciated your hard work. I just thought to post that comment because of all the negativity I see in the comment section recently. I know you don't control people's reactions but it's just sad and I hope we all as Africans can do more to inspire positivity about Africa. Peace ✌🏾
@@mikea.6911 Thank you Mike. I think I shouldn't have flown from Nigeria to Ghana coz these two Nations have been fighting online for a while now.
However on the ground they are actually friends.
They don't even share borders both are surrounded by French speaking countries. So this might have just started as banter between these two nations online coz they can't easily argue or have banter with the French speakers.
There's two French speaking countries between Nigeria and Ghana.
Even the street interviews I did some would say they don't like Nigerians but at that point they were playing with their Nigerian friends.
@@AFRICANTIGRESS You're doing great job 👏 👍 Your work is balanced giving travelers a more accurate insight about the cities. He's suggesting you engage in deceptive practices. No country is perfect not even the US- If you doubt me fly to Southern United States, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, West Virginia, South Carolina, certain part of Ohio these are all farm states with run down houses and desolate towns.
Then, take a flight to their Mega Cities NYC, LA, DC, Chicago and see tons of drug addicts and homeless folks lining streets and sleeping in subway trains with their trash. This is America oo. At least African hasn't reach to that level.
There's no perfection anywhere.
To be honest and fairness , this oxford street could easily be matched with surulere, ojuelegba axis
I'm still waiting... I CAN'T wait anymore😴😴
Can I communicate with you, I'm from France and wanna explore African parts
It's up now
