      I wouldn’t really hold them against them for the trash on the beach. It’s not like Ghana is the only country with filthy beaches, and I bet that they definitely have stretches of clean, well-kept beaches for conservation and tourism purposes.
      It’s hard to keep the beaches of a major city clean, or any body of water for that matter. The river that runs through New York is a toxic cesspit, for example, but that doesn’t mean New Yorkers should be ashamed of trying to get tourists to go there.

    Nice video but am really sorry to say that I lived and worked in Accra but surprisingly I didn't find Accra dwellers that kind and open. Most people were rather cold, almost unfriendly and speaking the local Twi every where. One evening on my way home along with a colleague, we were assaulted by two armed dudes on a motorbike. It was in 2015, at Adabraka not far from the Trust Towers. Much love from Cameroon!
