As a Jamaican, I love my country to the fullest however, whenever I go Ghana I'm more connected spiritually compared to when I go jamaica it's more socially. And even though my DNA results says I'm 50% Nigerian🤭, I bought land and now I'm building a house Accra because that's where I'll retire🇬🇭🇯🇲
I am a Ghanaian living in the US. Took a vacay to Jamaica and I tell you the similarities are there. Jamaica gave me Ghana vibes. There’s definitely a connection. Can’t wait to go back to Jamaica.
@SoRaya why are you negatively trolling pages about moving back to Africa? Get a life sis keep.your negative patasite energy to yourself..no healthy happy person acts like this. Fr fr.. you look to young to be so angry and negative. I was gonna blast you. But reading all your comments I realised you need soul healing. Gurl go find yourself and leave others to have their own choice. Your comment.are not cute
Ruth is a true Jamaican ambassador, a brilliant and beautiful Jamaican woman and i think this Ghanaian gentlemen is very fortunate to have this lady as his wife. I truly enjoyed this interview and learned a lot regarding similarities of culture between Jamaica and Ghana
I love this women and I love how she described Ghana. Im south African but I love how she was able to describe the differences without being judgemental.
I’m a British Jamaican and went to Ghana in 2005 and saw the similarities with Jamacia. That was the first thing I noticed. I fell in love with the country.
@Jamaica She conveyed the epithet of a Ghanaian so eloquently and effortlessly. She actually dissected the Ghanaian in away most Ghanaians will identify with because 99.9% of what she said were true. There's an advantage when you're looking in from afar but yet near. She was able to identify the peculiarities of the Ghanaian culture which of course comes to the Ghanaian so normal and not out of the ordinary. I will fail to point out these nuances of our being because I won't realize they're unique. Thanks to her and to you 🙌🏾
I am Ghanaian and I have been to Jamaica, i loved it. Everyone thought i was Jamaican until I opened my mouth and spoke lol. There are so many similarities between Jamaicans and Ghanaians. Hundreds of years of physical separation failed to sever our familial ties.
Im friends with people from Ghana. Our foods are similar. We both eat plantain, dumplin, and ox-tail. Anansi stories are imbedded in our culture. I heard the Jamaican flag is based of the kinte patterns of the tribe. Slavery did not get rid of all our culture.
Ruth’s perspective on Ghana seems like the cumulative work of a seasoned sociologist or an anthropologist who has done a lengthy research about the people and culture of Ghana. As someone who lived in Ghana as a foreign student many years ago, I only smile listening to her as she accurately narratives her experience of living so long in Ghana. The interviewer was professional and the interviewee is on another level. I feel nostalgic just listening and remembering those years I spent with the hospitable people in Ghana.....specifically Sunyani, Ghana. Well done in breaching the gap among our Black people in the diaspora and the motherland.
I love your comment. Beyond the fact that I studied sociology and anthropology in college, my love since I left Jamaica to live live in Spain for a year as a teen exchange student, has been to interpret culture etc through outsiders eyes. I haven't studied Ghana per se, but I guess my curiosity, plus my husband's and friends' insights have brought me this far. Thanks!
@Ruth Kwakwa: You’re highly welcomed. Wow! My speculation about your sociology or anthropology background was on point. Please continue to inspire and change the negative perceptions of Africa the western media have impregnated in the minds of people who still think Africa is the dark continent “ where White people go to die.” Lol Enjoy your residency with your lovely family in the beautiful country of Ghana.

This is the most interesting, accurate and enlightening review of Ghanaian culture I've ever heard from someone coming from overseas. Many thanks to both of you.
She is so eloquent and exhibit a deep understanding of the similarities and differences between Jamaica and Ghana. Makes me want to book a flight to Ghana to experience it. By the way, she should have been a historian…she would have been excellent.
I'm Nigerian, and I've visited Jamaica 3 times on vacation. Been to Kingston, Ocho Rios and the fabulous city of Montego Bay, which is just the loveliest city, especially if you love to hang out, and love the nightlife. I keep telling my mates: Every black man needs to visit Montego Bay at least once in their lifetime.
I was there for 12 days in 2011. Stayed in Accra and Kumasi. Loved it a lot. Yes, it reminded me of my country, Jamaica. Went to the market and thought I was In Coronation Market, but it was on another level. Great conversation Ruth!
I remembered my coworker and some friends went to Ghana .She said when they landed a few of them knelt and kiss the earth but the way she told the stories after returning gave me chills and I fell in love with the place by just hearing her experience of being there.
She did an EXCELLENT job. She is telling it through the lenses of a Jamaican who had the opportunity to experience the culture and traditions and married a Ghanaian who maybe explained the difference between"Truth by all means*". Even though he understands the "Peace by all means".principle.
Did the lady see any resenblence in the two languages ? Twi and Jamaican ? I found in my travels to Jamaica and an old Jamaican friend words he would use that are the "same" as in Two but with different meanings ! "Quia" "Wara" (others) !!
Everyone talking about Ghana, how is Nigeria??? I have a best friend in London who is fine I'm Nigeria. You would love Jamaica 🇯🇲, go for it. Once you go visit you gonna keep going back, nice food, nice music, nice beaches..👍👍😄
@Nyoka Brooks I am Ghanaian . My great grandmother is part of the accompong in st Elizabeth . I’m from Clarendon but my grand mother never raised my mother like that . I’m shock you said you from Nigeria but really majority of our history with the national heroes example Nanny comes from Ghana . So how you be Nigerian ? Nigerian never come to Jamaica .
Yea I watched a video where some Jamaicans n other Caribbean nationals have settled there, its just amazing. I cant wait to hear that the straight flight contract between Ghana n Jamaica is complete.
I am going to Ghana and Sierra Leone for the next 6 weeks. I love taking trips to Africa...i have been to 20 countries so far trying to see all 55 nations... Love Ghana its my 5th trip there...
A direct flight between Monetgo Bay Ghana, and Lagos, Nigeria has now been established by Nigerian airline, Air Peace, with a one hour connecting flight to Accra, Ghana from Lagos.
Mr Dennis can you please tell her I would like to connect with her via email. I am a young lady from Clarendon ,Jamaica and I just bought land in Aburi District to move back home to mother Ghana. I am grateful.
I realize she has thumbed up my comment a couple of times on facebook. Ruth is very open-minded. I know some of the Kwakwas but I am not sure which one she is married to. I grew up in Dome with some of the Kwakwas!
Great interview with Ruth. I am of Jamaican heritage and a US citizen planning to visit Ghana with my daughter and Ghanaian son in law and hope to meet Ruth.
WOW,the Ghana video ah run da place with over 50,000 views.The highest number of views and likes so far.It looks like Ghana is very popular amongst JAHMAIKAANS
When Jamaica and Ghana meets, it is all love! It is no coincidence that the Ghana national color and the name Black Stars are owed to Jamaican hero Marcus Mosiah Garvey.
Very good conversation family it comes with a lot of Education . With the introduction of PNDC law 111 children can now inherit both parents and still uphold the Akan traditions of Ghana 🇬🇭.
Im Jamaican and I visited Ghana for one week and it feel like home indeed. I went to Kumasi, Cape Coast and Accra. Rich history! I love the people, the food and humbled to learn about my History. I will go back indeed!!
Loved the interview, I felt emersed into the culture. She is well versed on the similarities of Jamaican and Ghanaian culture, I would love to visit 🇬🇭. Thanks Xavier for another great interview.
Thank you Xavier for this interview..Thank you Ruth for shedding a lot of light on the Ghanaian culture...Very different temperament from Nigerians and Jamaicans....Thank you Ruth for breaking it down about the culture of the market..Also the fact it has beaches but not a beach culture.. You explained a lot...
Waw this was a very interesting conversation for me I’m a Jamaican living in the USA doing a Ghanian man for 10 years now went to Ghanian twice I was thinking that he was very strange but after listening to what this lady was saying I learn how to handle our Relationship now I can sit and listen not judging that how they are it always upset me when he behave a certain way as she said delays information now I know that they Coulture as a Jamaican you know we always speak up when something bothering you they don’t believe in that at all now I know all this information I can start to plan my wedding now good information
Thank you very much for the positive interview with smiles all over my face! It makes me start thinking as a Ghanaian living in the states and especially with my family in Jamaica returning home! I’m ready to see all my distant relatives return from afar!

Ghana is the the second home for Jamaicans and Jamaica second home for we Ghanaians we need to stop this visa issue if you want to stay in Ghana come I love Jamaicans God bless Africa
I recently read an article on Lebanese leaving Lebanon due to the economic crisis and corruption. They are heading to west Africa especially Ivory Coast, Senegal, Ghana etc and in search of a better life and economic opportunities. They are even sending remittances back home to Lebanon in order to help their families who are in poverty. It’s time for us as a people to wake up and claim our heritage.✊🏿
Loved this interview and how eloquently she’s able to share her perspective! These are all nuances you pick up on in Ghana but aren’t always quite able to name as well as she did here.
That was a wonderful interview. Lucky for Xavier that Ruth loves to talk and share. By fate I was asked to go on a mission to Ghana in a few weeks time. By faith I am going. I'm Jamaican and Ghana was on my bucket list. I am divorced so do alot of travelling on my own and would have gone to Ghana on my own when I was ready. Ruth highlighted some note worthy points that I'm glad I heard. Looking forward to going....should have sorted my Jamaican passport then I would have needed a visa...
I absolutely understand what this lady is saying. I have 2 young adults now with a huge story behind it. I have never spoken about them to my friends other than people in the US would ask questions, which I chose not too respond. It is time now for me to visit & speak. Again, I flow with respect first.
Very interesting and enlightening interview. Ruth gave a very genuine unbiased perspective of the Ghanaian culture in an eloquent manner. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope to visit Ghana one day. I somehow feel it's going to feel just like home (Jamaica).
Great job Ruth, well said better than most Ghanaians can explain their lifestyle and culture...it's clear the common fabrics of JM and Gh. You should have a podcast!! Fi chuu, Jos chrai it.👏👏😊😊 Mi married tu Gh man. Iina di States
Listening to both of you put the final seal on my bucket list , Ghana ,is on my list for my 50th birthday. I agree with you Ruth when you say they make peace in all essence of their being .
I am a Ghanaian living in the USA. I was married to a Caribbean Queen from Antigua and I couldn't believe my eyes when I visited Antigua for the very first time. Life style and market setting are the same like Ghana. I even saw some men playing aware but they call it ware. I visited Kingston Jamaica and the had the same experience. Slavery took our ancestors from Africa, but it couldn't eradicate the Africaness from the people they stole. We are one people united by our culture. Peter Tosh was right: no matter where you come from as long as you are BLACK, you are African.
Hi it's my first time liking but I love your content and the way you organize and articulate your questions. I don't remember your guest name but she is so bubbly and straight forward which I appreciate. She give the innard need to know info, first timers really want to know. Thank you ❤️
Came on this video by accident. However it brought back great memories of my visit to Ghana. What you have said us true. Just watch the movements of the people and the rhythm of the language was great. The Coronation Market experience was indeed similar. Loved the country look forward to visiting again.
Great interview. Ruth was very Thoughtful and respectful of the Ghanaian culture in the interview. If I came to Ghana I would want her...Ruth as a cultural interpreter and show me around. I really enjoyed this vlog. Keep up the great work.
lovely interview, I do see a lot of similarities in Nigerians, Ghana and Jamaican cultures just by the movies, hissing of teeth, obeah lol, masquerade which is what we call jonkonu.......from the movies too I can see that they are steeped in tradition.....
Everybody talking about our root yet I don't see the "ROOT" in the African Education system. You can't stop new generation from embracing time change, but the "ROOT" in education will keep them "Ancient Africans" at heart. - By a less known Ghanaian 🙏🏿
We are all one people! My gran told me that Jamaica was taking from the twi language and actually came from Alan people who were taken to Jamaica and kept on saying 'I guess we are stuck here which is 'Jama ya ca' 🤣🤣🤣
Derrick I love Ghana so much I watch Seekers daily and my family accused me of being obsessed with Ghana. I am going soon. I was sleeping when I heard the call. Me fre wo x3. I woke troubled ; not knowing what it meant. A Ghanaian uncle explains. 3 years now my life has never be the same. I am called to serve my people. Its very emotional milestones for me. I am going to visit Ghana 2021 before I moved. I pray that all Caribbean family visits. I was in Nigeria and I loved it. But Ghana is home.
Beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you. I have been to ghana several times and I love the heck out of it but Ruth put everything together in words and also revealed things I am yet to know or experience.
*The fish and the rum trade Jamaica and Newfoundland*. There's a documentary on the two trading goods I think it's was film showed in February celebrating Black History month. I will have to learn how became part of the National dish. Great content. I am moving to Ghana soon after my visit. I love the knowledge that you bring RUTH.

Liberia is one of the main hub in Africa for Lebanese people leaving Lebanon for Africa.
Mehn it’s being going on for years Lebanese have been in Ghana ages especially Accra takoradi kumasi they speak the local language
i also read the article as well and in Sierra Leone where I'm from, sadly the Lebanese own most of the businesses
This was very enlightening, thank you Ruth for you insight.
Loved this interview and how eloquently she’s able to share her perspective! These are all nuances you pick up on in Ghana but aren’t always quite able to name as well as she did here.
That was a wonderful interview. Lucky for Xavier that Ruth loves to talk and share. By fate I was asked to go on a mission to Ghana in a few weeks time. By faith I am going. I'm Jamaican and Ghana was on my bucket list. I am divorced so do alot of travelling on my own and would have gone to Ghana on my own when I was ready. Ruth highlighted some note worthy points that I'm glad I heard. Looking forward to going....should have sorted my Jamaican passport then I would have needed a visa...
What a great interview! I loved the breakdown of the nuances in culture.

Ruth you are a brilliant woman, I hear it in your voice. Love your descriptions
I have a lot of friends from Ghana and looking forward to go there one day. I love the food as well. I love the fufu and how they do their fish.
Hope you get to visit.
@@xmurphy2485 looking forward to one day
Yes Ghana is good and Jamaica is a decedent from Ghana
I'm from Ghana and I'm also planning to visit Jamaica
Am a Ghanaian 🇬🇭❤ But i really love Jamaica🇯🇲 and i want visit Jamaica #Mi Love Jamaica 🇯🇲❤💯
I absolutely understand what this lady is saying. I have 2 young adults now with a huge story behind it. I have never spoken about them to my friends other than people in the US would ask questions, which I chose not too respond. It is time now for me to visit & speak. Again, I flow with respect first.
Very interesting and enlightening interview. Ruth gave a very genuine unbiased perspective of the Ghanaian culture in an eloquent manner. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope to visit Ghana one day. I somehow feel it's going to feel just like home (Jamaica).
Great job Ruth, well said better than most Ghanaians can explain their lifestyle and culture...it's clear the common fabrics of JM and Gh. You should have a podcast!!
Fi chuu, Jos chrai it.👏👏😊😊 Mi married tu Gh man. Iina di States
Ghanaians 🇬🇭or cool ppl for real I live amongst them in Belgium. And the ones I used to hang around. Or always welcoming. One love Ghana 🇬🇭
Listening to both of you put the final seal on my bucket list , Ghana ,is on my list for my 50th birthday. I agree with you Ruth when you say they make peace in all essence of their being .
I am a Ghanaian living in the USA. I was married to a Caribbean Queen from Antigua and I couldn't believe my eyes when I visited Antigua for the very first time. Life style and market setting are the same like Ghana. I even saw some men playing aware but they call it ware. I visited Kingston Jamaica and the had the same experience. Slavery took our ancestors from Africa, but it couldn't eradicate the Africaness from the people they stole. We are one people united by our culture. Peter Tosh was right: no matter where you come from as long as you are BLACK, you are African.
Your reaction was my Ghanaian husband’s reaction when he first went to Jamaica. To see it is to feel it 😊
Hi it's my first time liking but I love your content and the way you organize and articulate your questions. I don't remember your guest name but she is so bubbly and straight forward which I appreciate. She give the innard need to know info, first timers really want to know. Thank you ❤️
Nice interview thanks family from Ghana Akwaaba
I am a Jamaican my husband is a Ghana but we live in the u.s. we are going back dear to live
Came on this video by accident. However it brought back great memories of my visit to Ghana. What you have said us true. Just watch the movements of the people and the rhythm of the language was great. The Coronation Market experience was indeed similar. Loved the country look forward to visiting again.
I am dying to go to there
I am a Canadian jamaican living in canada i love this story
I definitely will be going to Ghana, I can't wait, so excited. LANCE SCURV NOW LIVES THERE.
Great interview. Ruth was very Thoughtful and respectful of the Ghanaian culture in the interview. If I came to Ghana I would want her...Ruth as a cultural interpreter and show me around. I really enjoyed this vlog. Keep up the great work.
A Jamaican living in Ghana is like a Jamaican living in 🇯🇲.
Exactly
lovely interview, I do see a lot of similarities in Nigerians, Ghana and Jamaican cultures just by the movies, hissing of teeth, obeah lol, masquerade which is what we call jonkonu.......from the movies too I can see that they are steeped in tradition.....
Lol; so true!
I really love Ghanaian and Nigerian movies, because they remind me of Jamaica.
Very good video clip. Watching you from Croydon. UK. THANKS.
This had me very much engaged from start to finish. Very very interesting info. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Another Great interview Ghana is now on my list of place to visit
U literally will not want to come back lol enjoy
Everybody talking about our root yet I don't see the "ROOT" in the African Education system. You can't stop new generation from embracing time change, but the "ROOT" in education will keep them "Ancient Africans" at heart. - By a less known Ghanaian 🙏🏿
Wow! I love this interview. I would love to visit Ghana.😊
Awesome interview - great, great information. Puts so much into perspective and creates greater understanding of so many, many things! Wonderful!
We jamaican is from the Ashanti tribe in Ghana 🇬🇭.one family.
Not every jamaican some from igbo nigeria
Yes I, 90% of Jamaicans are fully Ghanaians and they're from the Ashanti Kingdom in Kumasi, Ghana 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
Some of us are a mixture of Asante, Igbo and some other ethnic groups.
Mr Xavier Murphy you look like Rev Anthony Codjoe .A pastor here in Ghana at ICGC.you can Google to see the face you look like him
Yes ma'am you are very right about the "delayed true" factor. Being ghanaian in the diaspora, i have to relearn how to deal with it.
Depending on the subject, it's not delayed
@@danielasante8245 its lying
In Jamaica, we have a saying, "Every liar is a thief." To be known as any of the two is culturally looked down on.
What a lovely interview! Thanks for sharing Ghana so beautifully, Ruth. Well done.
We are all one people! My gran told me that Jamaica was taking from the twi language and actually came from Alan people who were taken to Jamaica and kept on saying 'I guess we are stuck here which is 'Jama ya ca' 🤣🤣🤣
Akan people *

@@Music-yq8qc good to know 👍
Very correct Tali
I love, love Ruth's vibes and intelligence .....great information. THANKS
Well done Xavier for your good work and thanks to you Ruth for your honest and educative presentation about Ghana God bless you both🤩👋🏾.
Wow, Wow, Wow! Great Interview Xavier. Ruth is fantastic! Thank you. Learned so much. 🌄
I feel how she feels, very emotional.,
Thanks a lot
Ghanaians love Jamaicans sometimes i feel like we over love anything Jamaica. lol
Derrick I love Ghana so much I watch Seekers daily and my family accused me of being obsessed with Ghana. I am going soon. I was sleeping when I heard the call. Me fre wo x3. I woke troubled ; not knowing what it meant. A Ghanaian uncle explains. 3 years now my life has never be the same. I am called to serve my people. Its very emotional milestones for me. I am going to visit Ghana 2021 before I moved. I pray that all Caribbean family visits. I was in Nigeria and I loved it. But Ghana is home.
That is because most Jamaicans descended from the Akan ppl
@@debbiemarquis3231so true
Yes Derrick, definitely Jamaican loves Ghanaians too.
I love you guys beautiful soul ❤ blessings 🙏
Beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you. I have been to ghana several times and I love the heck out of it but Ruth put everything together in words and also revealed things I am yet to know or experience.
This was a WONDERFUL conversation.
Ruth interview has sparked our interest and opened our awareness of our family in Ghana.
Let's all meet in Ghana.
*The fish and the rum trade Jamaica and Newfoundland*. There's a documentary on the two trading goods I think it's was film showed in February celebrating Black History month. I will have to learn how became part of the National dish.
Great content. I am moving to Ghana soon after my visit. I love the knowledge that you bring RUTH.
