Happy to be First here
Hahaha Ghanaian for you is very true , am surprised they say we can’t speak English we do both by speaking and writing ✍️ . And that song I know how to sing but I don’t remember the author I have enjoyed watching
I would love to visit Ghana one day. I heard a lot of people speaking highly about the country. Lovely experience
You definitely should.
You're very right about everything you said about Ghanaian. Ghana is a very peaceful country and I'm so proud to be born and raised in Ghana as a Nigerian.
I've been to Ghana, and I think they are peaceful people
You are right!
Can I get your number
My beloved country Ghana. I’m also a proud Ghanaian.. I agree Ghanaians are very peaceful.
Just learnt some things about Ghana wow I would like to visit Ghana one day😊😊
Yes you should!
Whoever say Ghanaians don't know how to speak English is just ignorant. Ghana is a country whose people love their own languages and cultures. Majority of the radio stations are in the local languages. We are not a country of sell-outs who believe that the ability to speak the coloniser's language is a sign of intelligence or a badge of honour to use to put Africans who use their own languages down.
Secondly, much is made of our accent by Nigerians and Cameroonians who somehow fail to see that even here in the UK, there are various English accents. Ghanaians English pronunciation is nearer to that of English spoken in London and southern parts of England (the one they prefer to have on the BBC news) while the Nigerian accent is nearer to the English spoken in Manchester and those areas of England.
Ghana has led the way in so many things when it comes to dealings with the European and emancipation, so our pride in speaking our own languages is in line with that. It is like how we pride ourselves in wearing our own traditional dresses and have set Fridays aside for local wear to the office instead of the suit, shirt and tie.
In terms of female in education, if I am not mistaken, female student population in Ghana is higher than that of male. My mother and aunties were all educated in the 1940s and 50s way before independence, so female education is not something new or something not encouraged at all. It is all because, like I have said earlier, Ghanaians take pride in their own languages.
Finally, humility is not timidity. We are humble not timid. We didn't fight the European for our independence and be the first Black Africans to do that by being timid. Our government just stood up against British Airways when they wanted to bully us and won a moral and economic victory for its citizens - the travellers. We didn't do that by being timid. What we won't do is fight among ourselves and disturb our peace. That is not bravery, that is stupidity. And the Ghanaian isn't stupid.
Your obsession for Nigeria is legendary. Even on a video that has nothing to do with Nigeria you had to bring in Nigeria. Yes Nigerians speak more English than Ghanaians. A child picked at random in Nigeria can comfortably express himself or herself in English than a child picked at random in Ghana. You want to claim who speaks Queens English? With your self acclaimed Queens English, today there are more Nigerian words in the Oxford dictionary than Ghanaian words. There are more renowned English language authors from Nigeria than Ghana. Nigeria has won more awards in English Language than Ghana or any other black African. As Nigerians we don't want to be British, we speak our English the Nigerian way, the Americans, Australians, Canadians, South Africans etc all speak English their own way. So remain and be forming British, but still can't make an impact in developing the language. Hold your peace and focus on your Ghana.
@@ekinematics What the fvck is your problem? My obsession with Nigeria? Do you think I care about Nigeria? What has Nigeria or indeed Ghana achieved that I should waste my time championing one over the other?
I brought up the accents in England based on what I have heard from the many Cameroonian and Nigerian UA-camrs I follow. They always claim that Ghanaians pronounce words the wrong way, which is basically stupid because, like I said, different regions in England have different accents.
If folks from Manchester and environs were dominant in Nigeria during the colonial era, which looks like they were, then Nigerians would speak English, pronouncing words like they do now. And if folks from London and environs were the dominant in Ghana during the colonial era, Ghanaians would speak English, pronouncing words like we do now. None is better than the other. Scouser accent, the accent of the people of Liverpool, is also English, but it's different from Cockney, which is also English. None is better than the other.
I can cite you two English Premier League coaches. Sam Allardyce pronounces some words mostly like Nigerians do and Harry Redknapp pronounces words mostly like Ghanaians do. Two Englishmen from different regions.
And who gives a fvck if a kid in Nigerian can express themselves better in English? Who the fvck speaks a foreigner's language in his or her own country? Only an idiot! Do the Chinese speak English in China? It is to the end that the Ghanaian is proud of speaking his own language in his own country. The colonial days are over! The ability to speak English is not a measure of one's intelligence, in case any of them foolish Africans don't know. Learn to speak your language and be proud of speaking your language.
I don't give a fvck about Nigeria in terms of being in competition with them for like I said earlier, what has Nigeria achieved? Nothing, just like Ghana. Nada! Two woefully underachieving countries. So why should I worry myself about them? I am too old for that sh.it! I don't have time for Nigeria, I just took time to address this idiotic narrative being perpetuated by Nigerians and Cameroonians on UA-cam that somehow 1) we pronounce English words wrongly and 2) by preferring to speak our own native normal languages and not that of the colonial oppressor, we are uneducated. Absolutely ludicrous!
Take your stupidity somewhere. Kwasia!
@@kwameboadukissi426 If you had no obsession for Nigeria you would have focused on the video. The video had nothing to do with Nigeria, but Ghana. Focus on what the video is about. Your paranoia shows how insecure you are.
I repeat you claim you speak a better English yet Nigerians are more known for using English more in their daily lives. As Nigerians we don't want to be British but Nigerians. Do Americans sound like the British? Do Indians sound like the British? Keep deceiving yourself. Ask me since Ghanaians started speaking English whats the impact of Ghana English on the English language compared to Nigeria?
How many words of Ghanaian origin can you find in the Oxford dictionary compared to Nigerian words?
Even here on UA-cam watch videos from Ghana and that from Nigeria, which uses more English language freely? Ghanaians that can't have a conversation for 10 minutes without using twi to drive their point due inability to express themselves in English. The evidence is all over youtube, you cant compare.
I laugh at your ignorance. Even in the UK what are the academic achievements of Ghanaians compared to Nigerians? Nigerians don't speak good English like Ghanaians yet Nigerians are the most educated immigrants from Africa in the UK.
Please keep your British Ghana accent🤣🤣🤣 why we use our Unique Nigerian accent to break grounds.
Remain pressed!!!
So funny, priding yourself in someone's language and claiming that you have Nigerian English, wow!
GHANA has always led Africa and its emancipation. You don't understand "THE BLACK STAR" 🇬🇭 of Africa.
GHANA here, our local languages are taught in schools. And they are mostly spoken in the country.
I really like he way Ghanaians speak English. You make me feel like visiting Ghana. I enjoyed watching Sis.
I love how you love your origin. Yes Ghana is very peaceful and beautiful. .
I haven't been to Ghana, hope to visit soon but I have lots of Ghanaian friends and they are lovely people and love their delicacies. 😂
You definitely have the rights
Watching from Sydney Australia
Thank you!😊😊
Ghana is a beautiful country. Africa to the world, baby Joshua is so handsome.
Ghana is truly a peaceful country 😍
I always says Ghana is a peaceful country I pray it continue like that and I like the accent
Thank you!!
Waooo i really love everything you said about Ghana and me i love ghana people so much.they update their country so well.
I need to visit Ghana 🇬🇭 I enjoyed hearing your experience.
i love your TWI.. you made me laugh paaa 😂 😂
😂😂😂 thank you!
Loved learning about Ghana, sounds like a beautiful place ❤️
I hope to visit Ghana some day, they have delicious foodie 🤣 I so much enjoyed this video
😄😄😚
Herr, you intro, I was like 😳😳😳🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣
I'm African, a Ghanaian as matter of fact, we believe language is important to us because it's identify who're and it's God given mother tongue, if l wanna use English as my second language, yeah for sake of multicultural purposes, yes l need it,
But most especially as an ashanti, l don't wanna get lost in my own motherland, the ashanties had always insisted and have made ridiculed even within our own people, but it's we're shining on Ghanaians because 80% of Ghanaians now speak twi, l only hot to know the importance of mother tongue when l got to Japan, the Japanese people studies English right from the infancy and don't know how to speak English but yet they're so proud of their language, they'll only manage to speak English whenever it becomes necessary.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts 🙏.
Hey loves,
Thank you all for being you
Lets just have fun and dont fight each other in the comment section wai.
Love you all!!
Ghana sounds amazing! Migrating is a big change...it's not an easy decision.
As a Nigerian when I become rich in will go live in Ghana
It such a Beautiful and nice place
Awww you should not wait to become rich,if its something that will make u happy try it!
U such a good story teller, I got to know a bit about Ghana 🇬🇭 people. Baby so cute 😍
🥰 thank you!
You boy is always cute you make me know more about Ghana
Trust me Ghanaians speak good english........We just will not speak it because it isn't our language............ People will understand you perfectly when you speak English but they'll behave like they don't understand what you're saying.............It's a rebellion against a language we feel was forced down on us and when I'm in my own land,I will not speak English unless it's veeeeery necessary.
I liked the last part😀. Thanks for your kind words.
😂😂😂😂😂😂...........Welcome hun
lol,love your little boy and love Ghana too
Ghana seems to be a nice place. Thanks for sharing your experience. Kays Decor from another account
Ghana is a peaceful country , what I don't like is landlord wahala😂
I tell u😂
RAWLINGS made us Timid and Calm ..
I think Timid is a strong word to use. The Ghanaians I know aren’t timid. I think because we’re a diverse group of people we strive for peace and not discord. That’s my opinion tho
Hmmmm🙂🙂🙂 ....
Wise words
always looking very beautiful
Beautiful content...love u already first time here
Aww,thank you 😊
Eiiii you killed it!
the starting of the video made me laugh alot,lol...you are very funny
Omg I used to love this song so niceeee
I love Ghanaian foods and culture, how peaceful the country and the people are.
I think is some of the alatafo who have been saying we can't speed English but when they speak, full of errors....it's funny though. I remember my sister @Felicity D told me that,Ghanaians can speak English but when they are speaking, they are careful with their tenses because they know when they mix past tense, future tense and present, we will laugh so the take their time when speaking but the alatafo ,they dont care....I even heard some saying "I didn't thought but this some person will say ghanafo nte brofo😂😂😂what I hate about Ghana is the elder one is always right and every outspoken person is known as the one who doesn't respect.
You said it all and your comment made me laugh as well 🤣
7:25 going...
Sometimes it's not Bad in the sense
That some people have betrayed, disappointed, murdered,( in other words ) act bad towards their ancestors so these ancestors of those have some sort of pain in them and it then continue to become a generational hate,
That's one of the reasons ... you hear some people saying they hate to marry people from other tribes and a whole lot
Thats very true.
I love the way you sing.
😂 medase 😚
The guy just wanted to leave her that's all. After all it's not his parents that are going to be in the relationship.
Say it again o😀
Nice video but you are wrong about education. Ghanaians have been going to school for centuries. The literacy rate for Ghana is 78% while that of Nigeria is 53%. The first secondary school, mine and the same for Kofi Annan was established in 1847. There are over 150 universities in Ghana, with hundreds of thousands of foreign students.
Ability to speak English, measured againts whose, English, liberian kru english? We have our local languages in particular Asante twi, which is almost a lingua franca. Naturally we are proud of our language. So why do we speak foreign languages in our own country? Please do your research before you speak on issues like this.
Hello there and thanks for your comment?...
Firstly the topic was/is "What I think about Ghanaians " well atleast until I read your comment.
Secondly ,I am a Ghanaian and if you watched the video in full and understood each text in context then you would realise that I made mention of "change" and how people were reluctant to send their girl-child to school or maybe I missed something myself 🙃.
I have no idea what your secondary was but I attended ACHIMOTA SCHOOL, since you brought that up.
I would like to think I gave this a thought before sitting in front of my camera to shoot this video BUT thanks for the explanation and I am sure people will learn from your well meaning comment.
Stay safe.🙂
By the way as a Ghanaian you should have known which school Kofi Annan our national hero and Prime Minister Kofi Busia attended as you will study it in your history books. Simply called THE SCHOOL, THE FIRST AND THE BEST established 75 years before Achimota. Sorry AKORA, agrc nkoaa😂😂😂
@@KAPAK108 your bigotry is clear to all. Why Dr Busia and not Kwame Nkrumah. The self delusion of superiority of a section of Ghanaians is too glaring. Change for once.
@@ibrahimissaka4426 Your insult proves our point. I am proud of who I am and where I come from and you know it. You don't carry foreign oppressors names if you are proud of your heritage. Eye wo ya a kowu.
@@KAPAK108Everybody is proud of where he or she comes from. However, the difference is that some are humble, have respect for all, and believe that ad creations of God, we are all equal; while others are delusionally arrogant and self serving. My religion teaches me that the best of all in the sight of God is determined by your deeds. We complain of whites discriminating against blacks, and yet we do worse to ourselves because of some stupid and irrelevant language and ethnic affiliation. We must be mad thinking that way.
😀😀😀😀😀
lol....well 1. The issue about girl child education was a capaign about girls in rural towns. 2. When u expereince the rest of Africa, the South and East....You will appreciate that we have done so well dealing with our tribal issues and we are the best English speaking country in Africa!
Thanks for the feedback 😊
Ghanaians speak very good English!
LOL WOW I didnt know some of these like Ghanians are said to be weak ...you are beautiful

Ghanaian people are not weak at all. Do not underestimate Our kindness as weakness
Singing dat song means u really kw Ghana . And kw body remember dat now becos d girls are more in d schools now n it's normal becos girl r more in d world

Okay you sound and act Ghanaian. If I see you and you just move I would know you Ghanaian or you associated with Ghanaians
Is that so😃
Ghana speak good English.But Ghananian who lives Germany mostly are Ashantis and people from B.A. ...and most but not all most the Ashantis but more don't speak English... but those from coastal areas and the middle Bert speak good English.
Oh really 🤔? I had no idea. Thanks for sharing sweetheart.
We don't like English we can speak but our problem is we think every Ghanaian can speak twi and we open TV stations and radio stations speak twi
