I love your content. A Cameroonian with a Nigerian accent 😍 and body language. That goes to show that we're one with slight cultural differences.
Keep it up, babe 👍
Fufu for a southwesterner is pounded cocoyams or cassava fufu.
We call cornfufu,exactly that. Ghanaians call it banku.
In Ghana you can still say "please excuse my left hand" before giving the ticket to the conductor, he will accept.
He didn't accept bcs you didn't add that clause

I am an Austrian🇦🇹 and have explored 50+ countries. Ghana stands out as the only place where you can hit the clubs, stroll home between 1 am and 3 am for over a mile, and feel completely safe. Truly, it's a peaceful haven."
Thank you, when I talk about it, people say I am chasing clout. Hearing from a non Ghanaian is sweet to my ear🤣
@@VictorineBihTakwe keep it up
That is very very true and I love Ghana 2
The only thing that Ghana we do at don is to steal ur fon but not harm u😂😂even if u shout they will run away..we are not serious in stealing too😂

As your Cameroon sister, i support everything you say about Ghanaian. My relocating here wasn't a mistake i just love everything about Ghana the peace and the people around
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Peace in Ghana is just everything to us my dear
As Black American woman I notice that African men are straight forward about their feelings which are different from American men. It can take long before they really know how they feel. So when I met my Ghanaian Husband it was a cultural shock about how he didn't play about he's feelings about and he wanted me all to himself. I had to learn that also about the left hand my husband had shown me because I'm Left handed I do everything with it . For I used right for #2 not my left 🤦🏾♀️. This was hard for me to learn. Ghanaians are nice and very friendly. I went shopping at local stores myself and I felt safe and felt at peace. Ghana is now my second 🥈 home Welcome me .
YOU ARE WARMLY WELCOME YH!
Ekumaa akwaaba home ooo 😁💃🏾🤗
@@nanapinkra thanks
But some of your people are always cussing at us saying that Africans hate African Americans,
Well i don’t blame those type of people because they’ve never been here before so they think that the rude Africans they meet in America are the same as the ones living in the motherland !.
@melissanoris3603, our wife, you're welcome. Much love to you.
YEAH IT'S A GHANAIAN 🇬🇭 THING, SHOWING SOME RESPECT AS WE BELIEVE 👍 EVERYTHING YOU SAYS ARE TRUE
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️
A Ghanaian who grew up in Ghana but currently live in the states here 🤚🏿. I love it when content creators or tourists have an open mind and immerse themselves in the places they visit. First time here and i subscribed. Sorry for the long text ❤🤒
1. About the billbords: You're even lucky you didn't visit next year, which is an election year. The billboards are crazy nuisances which needs better regulation.
2. The left hand: Culturally, using the left hand doesn't show respect. I don't know where that came from but as a child i had school mates who were taught to use their right hand even if you're left handed. You'll have to apologize when you use the left. So being out of Ghana for years i always need to restrain myself from apologizing for that. It isn't as bad for the younger ones as it was for my generation. I'm a millennial.
3. The twi language is the main language of the Akan ethnic group or tribe, who are about 70% of the population of Ghana. And the main occupants of 8 to 9 out of the 16 regions. So it's kinda our lingua franca. I've been to some very remote non Akan places and they still can speak Twi or at least understand when you speak it. The Asantis are a subset of the Akan ethnic group. So example of you traveled by road from Accra to Kumasi. As soon as you left the greater accra you started the tour of the Akan regions till you go to Asante region. There are variants of Twi though.
4. Saying please is part of us. You're taught to even say please when you greet as you said. The Akuapims (another subset of the Akan tribe in the eastern region) a groomed to even say please before they insult or diss someone. It's part of us pr a stereotype 😂. It's those things that make us laid back and oit of trouble because the level of politeness is too much. 😂😂
4. Religion: We are mostly Christian, I think the last census put Christians at around 68% or so. But we are very accommodating of various religions and ethnic groups. That's one thing I'm super proud of Ghanaians for. I think the boarding school culture from high school inculcated that in us.
5. Funerals di3 don't go there ooo. Please we the asantis and Akans will renovate our family houses when someone dies so the house will be nice for visitors. We commemorate the One Week of the person's demise, a weekend of funeral, 40days and 1year. It's an Akan thing and the other tribes also have something similar but fortunately not as flamboyant 😂. There used to be wake keeping the night before the burial but our chiefs thankfully canceled those.
Thank you for taking time out to explain all of these. I laughed when you said people will say please before insulting you😂😂😂
@@VictorineBihTakwe funny but true ooo. An Akuapim will tell you (translated) 'please, you're stupid' 😁😀
@@nanapinkra have been in Ghana all my life and still find it funny and annoying when they do that 🤣🤣🤣
I know the Akans are many, but 70% is too much...😂
@@brightatabeso583 Hi Bright 😁 🫡. I don't know if you're in Ghana or Ghanaian. I'm open for corrections anytime on the percentage of the Akan population in Ghana. Akans include Akyems, Akuapims, Asantes, Guans, Akwamus, Bonos, Ahafos, Kwahus, Nzemas, Fantes, Ahantas, Sekyeres and others that do not come to my mind now. All of these tribes are occupants of the Eastern, Ashanti, Bono, Ahafo, Central, Western, Western North, some parts of Oti regions. So yea they could make up about 70% of the population of the country. But pls teach us if I'm wrong I'm always happy to learn especially about cultures and my own at that and I think that's the essence of the video and my comment. Thanks.
I am a Ghanaian living in Ghana and this is almost a perfect description of Ghana
Thank you for confirming 🤗🤗🤗
I love Ghana! My stay there was so memorable. A really beautiful nation with very nice peaceful people. I also loved the aura- to me it gave off “Christian nation”.
I also didn’t witness the lefthand thing. Or maybe because I was a foreigner they gave me a free pass.
One of my fav dishes there was Kontumreh (i’m not sure if i spelt that right). They even taught me how to cook it & I did when i returned to my country 😄
Overall Ghana is one country I could gracefully settle in. The Akwaaba vibe was 💯 %
Don’t worry it’s spelt kontomre.😊
@@joy_esinam 🙂 Thank you
😂
Wooow! it's kontomire
In the Ghanaian culture the left hand is not an evil hand, it just doesn't show respect when you use your left hand while interacting with people.
This! I do the same with my kids. Don't hand me things with your left hand
Some people are left handed!!!! so it makes sense that she expresses herself predominantly with her left hand
@nan31978 honestly, this left hand situation bothers me so much. What's wrong with the left hand? I see people beat up their kids to stop using their left when they start expressing signs of lefthand dominance.
It come from an old superstitious belief that the devil is left handed
You can just say sorry for left and move on
As a Ghanaian living in Ghana my whole life. I must say Ghana is so so peaceful despite the vase differences in religion, language, culture, region, political views and many many more differences. We still find ways and means to be untied and respectful to one another.
A pastor can marry a Mallam (Islamic teacher) and they will never have a religious dispute.
Thank you for shedding light on the matter Wisdomseed
Facts my cousin married a Muslim woman and they are happiest I just admire their relationship
You just covered everything about Ghana.We respect every religion in Ghana .The reason we never had religious conflicts ,ethnic conflicts etc etc .I LOVE MY MOTHERLAND GHANA .Visit again 🙏
Exactly!
Yh
True freedom and justice to some extent indeed I ve travelled a little bit and i would say the respect and civilisation is there
Exactly bro
Correct❤
Ghanaians also say excuse my left. If you had said "please sorry for the left" before giving him the money, he would have taken it.
My point exactly!
😂
Exactly 🤗
We pride ourselves as Ghanaians 😊
❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🇬🇭
The fact that you took the time to learn some phrases in one of the languages is nice, Very much appreciated, including the pronunciation. Even learnt where languages are spoken, norms and stuff. Gosh I'm in love with you sef 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️
You barb, I'm also shocked that she used just a short period of time to learn alot of our way of living and culture
It's my first time here, I'm a Ghanaian and i must say i love you already 😄.
I love how you pronounced the names and how detailed you are about my country👏👏👏.
It's already explained in the comments that left hand is not evil neither is it a taboo😄🤝
We are diverse in religions but we understand each other.
Thank you for confirming that waakye is sweet😂
Vous êtes aimable !
Waakye is heavenly 😊🤗
You’ve really depicted that you didn’t just come to Accra but you lived and explored Ghana. I’m subscribing asap!!
I visited 7 regions 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼 i had a wonderful time . I wish I could visit more regions but there’s always a next time. Thank you for the love❤️❤️❤️
I’m impressed with how well you’ve equipped yourself with information about a different country❤. The more you know the more understanding you are of other cultures💫💯
Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 forever a student of Africa
Yes am also impressed
Come back to Ghana looks like you really enjoyed your stay. Your Ghana husbands are ready

Wow,thank you mummy ❤️❤️❤️.This is something to emulate .
These are some of the benefits when you travel.Travelling is the biggest education in life.
Yes,traveling is a good teacher
Honestly you have to experience December in Ghana, you'll be blown away
Ohhh m’y 😊😊😊😊, by the grace of God, one day.
You are warmly welcome🎉
Just make sure you make a friend that knows a lot of places and things in Ghana. And you will love Ghana greatly 😂❤
I really enjoyed how you narrated your experience on your first visit to Ghana.
I must say you were very observant for a first timer. I can tell you really enjoyed yourself. We would like to see you again.
Please come again another time. Cheers!
In the Ghana Constitution, you can practice any religion you want, with no religion being superior to the other. More often than not Ghanaians are peaceful, cordial, and respectful to everybody we come in contact with. I guess our parents did a good job of instilling in us to treat others as we want to be treated.
I have never seen your channel or you before. This just popped up on my home I guess because most Ghanaians have watch this video.
Ghanaians will shower you blessings when you capture them. Hehehe
New subbie here 😊
Loved this!!! ❤
Your content is so interesting!!! Your storytelling, diction,body language and everything in between on point!👌🏾
Just watching this Ghana series feels like it’ll be easy to navigate whenever I get to visit
Thank you for taking us on this journey and showing us Ghana through your lens😊
Thank you Stace🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
If your right is busy you can use the left but you say sorry it is acceptable
You're very beautiful and I admire your beauty and eloquence.
That was a superb submission about Ghana.
The corn fufu in Cameroon is called Banku in Ghana.
Waooow!! I don't blame the men expressing their feelings towards you!!
@@dorisampofo2218
If you have to say sorry for using your left, that's confirmation that it's not acceptable to use your left. The culture frowns on it.
The presentations are superb, the body gestures are lovely 😍 and the grammar is absolutely clear. Ur level of observation is master class, how u pronounce the names in our language looks like you spent years. My dear u are wormly welcome for ur second time.❤❤❤
Regarding religion in Ghana, everyone respects each other's religion. Christian's, muslims and traditionalists respect each other. And in actual fact, we live as one. For example if there is a national events, all religions are given the opportunity to pray to whatever higher power they believe in before the program commences.
I am Ghanaian and everything you've mentioned is so true. You nailed it and had to subscribe!
😂😂😂😂 Some of those funeral signboards are hilarious. Like when you see, “What a Shock!” or “ A Sudden Departure” and the person was say, 99 years old! 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Oh my God, he died 3 weeks ago
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂 funny you
Waakye is my absolute favorite too😍 looks like you had fun. I love to travel too but have to make time for it! I enjoyed how you analyzed religion in your discovery; very clever! You are a learner; you are curious! Keep it up! I’m ga btw and I’m Kofi:)
Love your review. ❤ One correction the Day names are specifically for the Akans who are predominantly Ashantis and Fantis not the Gas (Greater Accra). The Gas have their own unique naming style which has nothing to do with the days, but rather named according to the clan you are born in.
Thank you for the correction 🥰
Aside the clan, they also name according to birth positions. Like first born, second born, third born, in that order... As well as multiple births and other situations surrounding birth
I beg to differ. It’s not only Ashanti’s that’s name according to days of the week. Ga’s, Ewes, Fantes also do same.
Eg. Monday (Adjoa,Kojo)
In ewe/ga its (Adjo, kojo( k)jo)
So it’s not limited to only Ashanti’s
I’m Abla ( Tuesday born ) which Is Abena in twi and Araba in Fante.
Pls kindly get your fact right 😊
And yes GA’s have way of naming depending on clan and depending on whether u are the first born ,second etc
Eg. Tetey (1st born boy)
T3t3( 2nd born boy)
Mensah (3rd born boy ) etc
Also Dede( 1st born girl)
Korkor(2nd born girl)
Mansa/Kai ( 3rd born girl)
Tsotso( 4th born girl) etc
@@VeraEBonigreat response
Bro do your research
Thank you for making this video, as a Ghanaian living in the US, you said it all. God Bless our homeland Ghana and God Bless Africa. I can’t leave out my current home, God Bless America.
The left hand is reserved for picking dirty stuff and washing and wiping your unclean parts. It is seen as a sign of disrespect to use that hand to extend anything to anyone. If the right hand is occupied and the left is the only hand free, you have to apologise by saying "sorry for the left" in the process of handing out anything with your left.
Thank you for explaining
😂😂😂😂you are actually funny girl you've earned a new subscriber here love you from Ghana.You are always welcome back to Ghana❤❤❤❤
As kids growing up. We had a subject as "Religious and Moral Education" (RME) in prime and junior high. And in senior high and universe we studied Christian religious studies (CRS) and Islamic shs studied (IRS). Buh it's optional in shs and uni
Wow ok,thank you.
I know right we all study together and proud cos it helped both religion to love each other
@@VictorineBihTakwe they literally teach us how to perform most of the basic rites in all tree religions. For a number of years I spent in basic and junior high school, I had the entire process of the Islamic ablution and pouring of libations memorized, and I'm a Christian....🤣🤣
Omg I enjoyed watching this as a Ghanaian😂❤️ we hope to see you again.😍❤️
Thank you Cecilia 🤗🤗🤗🤗, by the grace of God ❤️
You just had another subscriber in Ghana🇬🇭. Ghana is a Christian nation. Blessings ! when we come to Cameroon we will come experience your country too
Thank you ,thank youuuuu 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
We are a Christian nation actually but other religion's are fast rising also. You look a Ghanaian tho
That was a funny one especially the left hand thing. I know that from Nigerians (Yoruba). Don't even think of touching food with your left hand 😂
I put Ghana on my bucket list. Yes
🤣🤣🤣🤣. I’m not yet warm to the idea of visiting Nigeria, but I hope I do one day.
Come to Ghana you'd love it
You really did very well with your observation on Ghana. You made me smile listening to you. As tradition and custom go I think we have to rethink about getting rid of some of them. They are too old to be practiced in this 21st century. First time viewing your video and I am now a subscriber.
Thank you for watching William 🤗🤗
You’re very observant. Amazing video on my country.
Ghana is a secular country according to our constitution. We studied all religions in basic school and we also study our history to the core that is why we seem to understand one another no matter the tribe.
Woww awesome
And also, may I add, our leaders had wives from different tribes. Dr Nkrumah's was a Moslem from Egypt 🇬🇭🇬🇭

Thank you 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Those day names you mentioned are from the Akan tribe not the Ga. But in all, thanks for visiting our beautiful land. Come back again soon❤️😘
Thank you for mentioning it I was coming to tell her. I'm Ga .
We do have names like that but we don't use them and the pronunciations are different
@@jakedowuona3136 yeah 😊
Ewes also do same. It's not only unique to Akans
@@excutsdaily7335 I never said it was unique to Akans. I said the names she mentioned are related to Akans. Please don't misquote me
I like how you are mentioning the Ghanaian words
Hi Victorine!👋
I loved❤ your video presentation on the 10 things you loved about Ghana🇬🇭.
Please, I would like to clarify some things based on your observations and statements made in your YT channel:
1. Yes, Ghana 🇬🇭 is a beautiful and peaceful country, "the gateway to Africa," as reminded by the Blackstar monument when entering into the country.
2. Ghana 🇬🇭 is a Christian nation ✝️ based on the population of Christians in the country. Because we are a tolerable people, we accept and live in harmony amongst ourselves. Simply put, we have three(3) major religions here in Ghana, i.e., Christianity, Islam, and the African Traditional Religion (ATR).
We also have a lot of ethnic groups in the country, with the major ones being the following: Akans (language: Twi), which is widely spoken in Ghana because they're the biggest ethnic group and also because of the role they played in historic Ghana during the British colonial era, Ga-Adangbes (language: Ga), Ewes (language: Eve), Mole-Dagbon (language: Dagbani), etc.
"Twi" is not the official language of Ghana but rather ENGLISH! Twi is widely spoken because of the migration of Asantes to the various parts of the country.
3. Lastly, it is true that Ghanaians are hospitable and polite people. That is why foreigners or visitors feel at home whenever they visit Ghana for vacations.
Also, there are other local delicacies you should have tried apart from the "Fufu" and "Waakye," you mentioned in your video. Some of these include: "Tuo Zaafi" (people of Northern Ghana), "Akple" (Ewes), "Banku" ( people of Southern Ghana), etc.
NB: It is an undeniable truth that Ghanaian men are very romantic and straightforward-minded in general when it comes to love (i.e., going for the woman we like and hence marriage).
Thank you! ❤

Thanks so much for visiting Ghana🇬🇭🇬🇭, will be happy you come back again
You are such a sweetheart 😊😊😊😊, thank you❤️
Ghana is beautiful.
Your description of the country is very on point. I enjoyed your content.
Homowo is Celebrated by the Gas, they really love their festivals. However, not every person in Accra celebrates with them.
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗 and thank you for throwing more light.
I was there 3 weeks back and i loved my stay
Awesome 😊😊😊 I’m glad you did ❤️
You can give with the left hand but you need to add this 'sorry for the left'.
I see, thank you for clearing that out
Love your vibe... I'm in a bus from Tamale to Accra and came across your video...
Thank you for watching, hope you have safely settled in Accra
You just won yourself a subscriber 😊 proudly Ghanaian ❤

Okay so a day to feel proud as Ghanaian! Me after insulting my politicians rn rn😂😂thanking you for making me feel good about this country once again...

You have described Ghana better,you have nailed 👌 it, you need Ghana card, perfect description of Ghanaian people.
The evidence of how you love Ghana is genuine. No, story telling. Ghanaian can tell you were really in Ghana. Facts about waakye, facttttttt! You got me smiling all out. Guess anyone who hasn’t been to Ghana is curious now and needs their moment of truth.
Thank you for the love🥰🥰🥰, I wish I could eat some Waakye now🥲
Damn you got everything on point congratulation you earned a new subscriber. you are welcome to Ghana
You will make a good and responsible Ghanaian man with means very happy.

I don't know what the ladies observed, but I think the hair style may be a wig lig B. Beatrice does. It looks nice though...
@greatmolass1543 it’s a wig😃 yes🤗
I appreciate you lady.
Ghana is a very tolerant nation which is accepting of all religions
Great video. I hope tp visit your country Cameron too
You are welcome anytime 🤗
In as much we have 3 major religions, Christianity, Islamic and Traditional in Ghana, we all respect each other's religion. Traditional is linked to our cultures and when it comes to our culture we have to respect it as well. When it is Salah, you will find christians going to eat and celebrate with their muslim brothers etc We generally have respect for everyone's beliefs, so far as we aren't stepping on each other's toes.
Thank you for explaining
And my favourite food featured. Waakye is the best ❤
Yessss pleaseee❤️
FYI, Fufu/Fufuo is staple food for the Akan ethnic groups that speak the Twi language but of course now eaten by almost all Ghanaians. Fufu means “mash” in the Akan Twi language.
Thank you for throwing light on the subject
Fufu is not only for the Akan ethnics, almost all the other ethics have their fufu. We in the Northern part of Ghana don't use casava for our fufu but Yam, which I know most people in the Akan areas wouldn't enjoy.
@@iddrisuganiwu4670you’re right. I know among the Ewe people fufu is indigenous. They use different mortar from what we use in Kumasi and generally the rest of Ghana. So fufu is not only indigenous amongst Akans.
@@iddrisuganiwu4670 so since the name Fufu is a Twi word how do you call it when you make it with yams in the northern part of Ghana.
@ariellebakes thank you 🙏🏽
you should make more content like this vic it mustn't be travelling experiences it could just be life experiences i say so cuz ur really funny and and really good story teller
Hahaha thank you 😃
The naming after the day of birth is traditional by the Akan tribe (along with some few other tribes...but with names in their own language). Now it's becoming a less tribal unlike it was innthe past.
Hello Victorine... You're beautiful as aways ❤😊🇧🇷🇨🇲
Thank you Alina❤️❤️❤️🤗
The naming thing was shocking to me as well when I first learned of it. But if you think about, it sounds orderly😂
Hihihihi it’s very orderly 😀. But there’s going to be many Mondays in one class😬
@@VictorineBihTakweyes if there are many Monday borns in one class, that's why you add their first or last name so you know who you are addressing
Even as that we have Christian names as well
They are automatic names and like the star signs every day born are believed to have some characteristics, we mostly dont officially use them as we have other names.
Nice experience from Ghana 🇬🇭 dear! Am heading home soon from the white man’s super cold country! Thanks 🙏 for an awesome experience! Stay blessed!
No no no didnt say they were not romantic...i said they serve breakfast alot😂😂 but until i come to Cameroon to study your men and make my conclusions ....no comment😅

Not all tribes in Ghana name after the days of the week especially the people from Accra.. lots of UA-camrs who visit Ghana make this assumption it’s only the Akan tribes and some Voltarians use this naming system. I’m from Accra and this naming system doesn’t apply to us

Hi, you got most of your content right with the exception of the Homowo festival. The Homowo festival is celebrated by the Ga people. Every ethnic group in Ghana has their own festival and the significance and meaning of the festivals align with that particular groups culture. Orherwise great content and keep it up. Yes get a Ghanaian husband🎉
The Akan tribes name their kids based on the day of the week they are born. The people from Accra, the Ga people, our names are synonymous to where we come from; the suburbs of the Ga state.
I’ve already subscribed mama. Been craving quality Cameroonian creators. Anytime you come back to Ghana you can hala me. I’ll show you places. I live in Accra but I was born in Bonaberi and there is more to discover 😁
Ghana is a place for all either Christian,Muslim or traditional you can do what you do it’s no offense as far as you don’t go against the law
Thank you for the remark
Ghanaians believe, give what belongs to Caesar to Caesar and what belongs to God to God and that one of the attributes that make Ghana peaceful.
My mum is a Muslim and I am a Christian and she was the one that woke me up to go to church every Sunday when I was in Ghana

The interesting thing about Ghana is that almost everyone at that Festival also goes to church on Sunday. We see such observations as culture, it must be done, exclusive of your religious identity ( Indigenous religions also exist). I will say colonization really took a toll on us Lol. We find it hard to draw the line between our culture which is a religion in itself and our preferred religion practice. So at our weddings, we have the "cultural" type and the white wedding. Naming ceremonies, we have the "cultural" one which is done first where we even pour libations and right after we go to church to observe the "Christian" type and thank Jesus.😂
Hahahaha wow, ok. Thank you for explaining for me to understand 🤗
Exactly bro.... Most of them are Christians and Muslims partaking in the traditional festival 😂
Waakye 🔥🔥🔥. People don't understand how good Waakye is, like sis preach
The question on Ghana's national religion. Ghana is a religiously diverse country, with over 70% of the population identifying as Christian, 19% as Muslim, and the remaining 11% adhering to traditional or other religions.
We respect and allow all practices so far as in not inhumane. We all agree the traditionalists are the custodian of the land so we give them all the respect. Besides we are all of a traditional belonging before the intervention on other foreign religions
Thank you Wisdomseed
Please check your %. Traditionalists are more than 1% moslems are less than 19%.
