I love your documentary. Glad you and your family were able to experience Ghana together. We are currently in Ghana with our 5 kids. It has definitely been an adventure! Many blessings to you are yours 😊
If you come to Africa forget about the western lifestyle this is another continent/country,culture,don't compare anything just embrace your roots and if you have money invest in any sector which is not doing well
Seven Wakenge ...I understand, but how do we meet people in Africa so that they can help us settle in? What Plane to flight and who will meet us there? All I see is white faces moving there yet embassy says going alone not knowing anyone in Africa can be very dangerous 🤷🏽♀️🕯
@@simplymoonchild3908 first u should relax it will be alright ,surely take ur time to explore check different african countries,start saving,and planning .one thing u should know is u will be fine.america more dangerous than africa already.start connecting with well meaning africans through different platforms ,b patient too n able to trust tht person.i am from zambia and I am happy to see our african family from usa coming back
@@chilombomululu6034....awesome, thank you so very much! Zambia is on my go-to-list. I have a strong connection and desire to visit Africa. Especially the villages, so that I could meet some of Africa’s kings and Queens and experience their way of life. Zambia 🇿🇲 has some of the nicest and friendliness people ever!😍
Why you didn't go to like landmarks or mingles with an African family eat African food with a family go talk with an historian. To me your not experiencing the country in a rich memorial way

I was born and raised in Marion, Indiana, fully American by birthright, but African by soulright. I moved to Africa in 2003, Ghana to be exact. I can't believe that black people would choose this STRUGGLE in America just for a few comforts like somebody ELSE having a toilet. Living there, I always had a comfortable toilet and living quarters (home). I lived in a mansion for six months of my stay (in heaven) and then spent the regular African life in Korte Bobi. I lived their a total of five years. I can't wait to hear from you in five years. You just can't come back here to the treatment and life of second class citizens and not remember how peaceful and accepting Africa is to the soul. You're never conditioned to have to shelter your child from the racist hate here. I wonder how come you will shelter yourself from all the racism here in the USA by preference, but not seek out how to live and avoid the places without toilet or bad traffic? I do wish you all the best on life's journey, but mark my words you're going to find that the comfort of a place where people treat you as not worthy of being human is not comfort but selling your very souls. All the best.🤔
Sandra Black, GLOBAL ELITE TAKEDOWN, A NEW PARADIGM= Thank you SIS....You're absolutely right/correct ... "I totally agree with you". But some of us don't know how to get it in a positive way and we miss to see the most important things in life. Perspectives differ from people to people. This is because every person is born in different circumstances and brought up in different way. As and when they grow up with society, based on their experiences and beliefs, perspectives will change. Peace to you!!!
@Sandra black from when you hear them continously say they're going to Africa instead of saying Ghana tells you of their disconnect. Your in a different country period. Would you go to Brazil and say how do you feel to be in the Americas. They need to get it together bro. Nonetheless one believe a seed has been sown in those children and the family once they settle down back home and reflect on the good things about Ghana and rest of the continent.
Hey Ms Sandra I love your contribution. You speak the truth and nothing but the truth. Unfortunately many sisters and brothers (I include myself) are fearful , trap just like the hampster on the wheel going on around and around but can't get off.. However I continually watch Diaspora YT's who have moved to the motherland for inspiration and to give me courage. Ms Sandra it's working because I've made contacts with people on the ground. Anyway that's all I wanted to say. Thank you again for your on point contribution.. Peace n Blessings. 12/7/2020
I absolutely love your Documentary film. It is a great pleasure watching your returning to your roots and experience your motherland on a new perspective again. My girlfriend and her family are from near Accra and she is planning to take me to her motherland in the beginning of next year. It is beautiful to get a very in-depth look into the culture and the country. I am very excited to experience Ghana soon. Thank you so much for sharing your experience!!
Lars Schroeder Wow!!! We really appreciate your comments! Thank you so much for watching our documentary! We're so happy that you enjoyed it. How cool is it that you'll get to experience Ghana soon! We hope that you and your girlfriend will get to visit some of the amazing places that we went to while there. Once again, we are blessed by your words. Thank you for stopping by!
I hope she will take me around to some of those places. I am in love with the southern part of Africa but yet to experience the western part. Stay blessed and thank you so much for documenting your journey :)!
The Family O UA-cam husband gave 😒 when Ghanaian uber driver said he prefers Ghana's Jollof Rice! Funny! You had the Jollof Rice balls imitation at a European owned business so expect blended! I've never tried the Jollof Rice from either country but I hear that the Ghana Jollof Rice is the best. You have to go to Accra or Kumasi in order to get the authentic foods! The street foods I hear are the best.
You are so right about simple things like public bathrooms, pavements to historical sights or just maintaining historical infrastructure or improving tourist attractions which the Ghanaian government just simply have no common sense to improve to attract more tourist. Ghanaian leaders talk a lot with no action to back it up. In my book they are all useless. But if you think Ghana did not fulfill your expectation then I am assuming that you thought you were going to another western country. In my opinion Ghana is far better than a lot of African countries. You could have easily used restaurant bathrooms instead of trying to get into a public one. You did not spread yourself to other places of Ghana to get a better experience but rather hanged around the most populated areas of Accra and expected to get the Ghana experience you were craving for. You are trying to judge a third world country on a 1st world standard, as a blackman you should have known better and considered that. Have ever visited India? You would appreciate Ghana more, despite their technological know how. I am from the west and have visited both Ghana and India, I will go back to Ghana again and again.
Yes, their expectations seemed to be to westernized. But I will take that restaurant bathroom idea in consideration. Also,they didn't want to eat Ghanaian authentic food. I am sure they would have found some places if they asked where most tourist go. They didn't seem to have had a good time. Maybe they need to be in better physical shape also.
Hello Nicole, just now seeing your comment. we are guessing you did not watch the entire video because we ate several dishes from Ghana. Including Jollof rice,plantain and some other local entrées such as pallava sauce. It’s important before making a comment out of ignorance that you watch the entire film. You would know also if you paid attention during the film that we were transitioning towards veganism so a lot of the food in west Africa if you have ever been to Africa you would know contains meat or meat byproducts so that severely limited our options. Our expectations are based on the fact that we travel all over the world not due to a westernized bias as one of us actually grew up in the continent for a period and our concerns was not a critique on the locals but more so the government having the resources to do better for our people and in some cases mismanaging it. We would not have spent several thousand dollars traveling to this country filming our experience and putting together the movie that you are commenting on which we said several times over that we enjoyed our experience overall if we were simply looking to bash the country. We are Nigerian so we have spent more time collectively in this continent than most people. If you ever plan on visiting the continent or if you are of African descent hopefully we can assist in clearing up some of your assumptions. But again please watch the video and it’s entirety before forming an opinion on our character. Thanks for watching!
What a wonderful freedom to walk around in your natural skin, natural hair, your scarf and dashiki and not be looked at strangely like you’re a crackhead or something. It’s a beautiful thing. I can’t wait to visit.
I drive in washington DC and its very hard to find a public place of convenience, i walk into a fast food joint and was asked to buy something before i will be given the keys to the restrooms.
I just so love your family and the trip that you made back to the motherland. I am so interested in going to visit Ghana and Gambia. And by the way your daughter is so beautiful and manerable. Peace and blessings to you my beautiful black family,
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences with us. Liberty is highly intelligent and inquisitive for her age. I predict she will do great things in her future. This trip is definitely on my bucket list! Blessings!
We appreciate you. Thank you for your blessed words. Let’s please stay connected. If you wouldn’t mind dropping your email on our website www.thefamilyo.com
First of all I'd like to say you have a beautiful family ,and you all are the most wonderful ever,and your little angel is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, your video was so AMAZING ABSOLUTE LY I thoroughly enjoyed each ,and every excursion, truly thanks so much for filming expressly the sad ,sad museum where our Ancestors were taken and tortured, it was horrible, and made me feel for each ,and every pain ,and horror they endured, very emotional, but thank you guys for sharing . Lovely vacation that beach was awesome.
We appreciate you! Thank you for taking the time to watch as well as comment. Please find us on instagram @the_family_o or on Facebook @therealfamilyo more videos are on the way!
Thank you for your response, I greatly appreciate it, I hope next time when you visit any African country, you should show more of the rich Areas, and of course the poor areas too. We all knows Africa is poor, however the perception of how poor the continent is very exaggerated in the West. Showing Africa Cities in context could make people realize that with money you can live comfortably, just like anywhere else in the world.
we made sure to highlight all aspects of Ghana throughout our 10 days there. The great and the not so great. The mall for example is the largest in west Africa and had all the shops you would find in the west. We made sure to cover that among the other places we went. Thank you for checking us out.
I love your documentary. Thank you for sharing a part of your life and experiences with us. In regards to amenities you're used to, look into Rwanda. It may give you more check marks for the your list of items you need to really consider moving to Africa. I'll be moved there next year.
Wow ... wonderful Brother. Please keep us informed. I'm very interested in going and its a pressing energy in my soul to live out my life in the mother land of all lands. I'm tired of this hatred evil in America ... Bob Marley sang it best when he sang "Exodus" and many of us are indeed getting up out of here!!
This is amazing. I’ve traveled all over the world but never been to any African country yet. I would love to travel to Ghana, even more after seeing y’alls experiences. Bless🙏🏿
That’s so awesome to say. We appreciate you and hope this video helps. Travel to the motherland is awesome but it’s all about proper planning. We documented our entire time to give a relatively balanced view of the good and not so good. Thank you for watching!
For the record, eggs have a natural film on them that prevents them from spoiling. As Americans, we wash our eggs, so this film is removed and the eggs have to be refrigerated.
Whenever I am in town in Ghana and I feel pressed I move to any closest hotel or restaurant and they have free comfortable restrooms for the public. Hope to see more videos of you back in Ghana. Bless ✌🏾✌🏾
I like this a lot 4 day you guys started to look just like Lovely Ghanians hahahaha I love it, and your daughter is so caring I like how she was asking her dad, if he is ok and should watch where he is going..... God bless
Enjoyed this,,great family, love the way you allow your daughter to expressed herself also great to hear your honest appraisal of Ghana, Ghana is trying,but it's great to have family like you making connections with Africa
Thank you so much. Africa is home. We would do a disservice if we didn’t share every aspect of our experience to those that may be curious to visit.Things of been moving at 100 miles an hour since our move but more content is on The way thank you for your patience with us through this period.
Your Daughter is so cuteeeeee. I am Ghanaian residing in the UK. Planning on going back for good. In Ghana you need to have patience. It is peacefull but it still has it's challenges. The good thing is that Accra is developing, you never know
I thoroughly enjoyed this video of this families journey to Africa. It was very tastefully done and I especially appreciated the fact that it was a black family that was intelligent , alert and very positive . Their daughter reminded me of my daughters when they were this little girls age. I always appreciate things that show our race in a positive light.It's important that the world sees something about our culture besides gang banging, and acting ignorant and embarrassing ourselves. Hats off to this family, I thank them for sharing their vacation with us....
This is the best travel vlogs I have seen about West Africa but Ghana in particular.You managed to pack in so much info regarding people,imports,exports,currency,food etc etc etc.i loved your reaction to new things especially using the loo haha.You showed such love and respect and you made this really enjoyable to watch.Remain blessed.
We are so thankful you enjoyed it. Ghana was a great overall experience. Please be sure so subscribe and visit our website www.thefamilyo.com and drop your email address for our website relaunch. More to come!
Loved this little girl, she so cute, , so smart, I wanna hug her, put her on my back all day long if she will let me. watching Family O felt like i was in cinema, such a humble family too..👌🙌❤️♥️
Wow thank you so much for these kind words. We are so happy that you enjoyed the documentary. We have more coming very soon. Please subscribe and find us on social media
24:30 I'm from Nigeria and it's pretty similar to Ghana in most ways. I'm also born and raised in Texas as well. Whenever I go to Nigeria, everyone who meets me knows I am American just by mannerisms or lingo I'm probably missing! Happens to everyone who doesn't live in west Africa even people with direct ties to the countries.
Christopher Jones 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂this first generation africans in america are something. U wud think their parents never told me something. When they come to africa they act "white" n strange
Amyyy..I’m from Abilene Tx and planning on a tour to Ghana. They say the Nigerian dollar is 500 to 1 and the Ghana cedis is 5 to 1. So is it cheaper to live in Nigeria. I raise longhorns in Huntsville and want to move to Africa to start cattle business. Can you guide or provide me with any info.
U are an african. Your ancestors were kidnapped and brought to America. It does matter were you were born. Here is an example. If a Lion borns in a pig sty, he is Lion. The same thing goes for you. Africa is in u and it doesn't matter were u were born.
That’s so awesome to hear. It was an overall positive experience. We will definitely be back. Please checkout www.thefamilyo.com and drop your email there because we have more great content coming.
Awesome video! Beautiful family. Brilliant child on cuteness overload. This is the only thing I've watched on UA-cam that was longer than 15 minutes, lol. Loved it.
We appreciate you. So glad you enjoyed. Thank you for watching. We’d love for you to drop your email on our upcoming website www.thefamilyo.com more videos coming soon!
Thank you for sharing your journey to Africa with us!! It was very rewarding, y’all made it personable, as if I was there with y’all!! The emotion was heartfelt and the facts were real!! Thank you so much!!💜🎉🙏🏽✝️🎶
Your daughter is unbelievably adorable!! I can listen to her talk all day!! Thank you for sharing your Ghanaian experiences! This definitely brought back memories of my visits to Ghana.
Would really love to go back home and build with my returnee brothers and sisters. Our home is some what broken but together we will do wonderful things
lovely video. but i didnt see u try any Ghanaian Authentic food, fried yams, fried fish or grilled tilapia etc. You Just kept on enjoying your pizza and jollof hmm
Loool. Those ladies arguing in the beginning are Ga, (original ethinic group of Accra) I was hearing them in the background before they appeared arguing. loool Eii my Ga people. 🤣🤣😂😂😂. Oh Chaley I miss Ghana.
It was such an interesting experience to capture. We loved our time in Ghana and we are thankful that you watched the film,those ladies were funny. We would love to stay connected if you wouldn’t mind sharing your email with us on www.thefamilyo.com
@@davidjohnson-xo9lv Hey David. I will be moving back to Ghana in the next few years as soon as I finish my schooling and finish settling all other preparations. I go to Ghana every 2-3 years so I frequent. 😊✌🏿
Great stuff and balanced view of Ghana, I can't help but think you should have linked up with someone on the ground to guide you and smooth you into the culture. That would have made your experience much better than it was. WRT the bathroom situation it definitely needs to improve but best advise is handle all your business b4 you head out and hit the road. Good job though
Thank you so much for sharing this. I love the cohesiveness and dynamic of your family. When I get my money right, I will visit either Ghana or South Africa.
acajudi100, strangely or interestingly every African country I have had the opportunity to visit has women wearing them and heck they could give 50 fks about the heat or humidity.
acajudi100 if Africa is too hot then have you been to miami .florida .california or mexico state before more hotter than africa go there and see difference or do you think that the whole of America had winter.stop talking shit about our beloved continent Africa.
I love you guys! Your daughter is the absolute sweetest I may be white, but I truly enjoyed learning more through you I subbed so im looking forward to following your adventures! I know good people when I see them! bless you!
Newbie to ur family channel Oh how i love yall video 👍❤ Absolutely Beautiful I so much luvs AFRICA THE MOTHERLAND ❤💛💚🇬🇭 I can't wait to return back this year 2019 for Christmas 🤗🙌 year of return #MyRoots💞
Hi. I am so encouraged by the fact that African Americans are travelling back to roots! what you re doing is amazing. I watch a lot of UA-cam videos but I have never seen one that has so many commercial interruptions. Do you guys have that same experience? it's very disruptive and the types of commercials that they're using are not what I normally see in my feeds. Wondering if there's some bias in there somewhere that we need to sniff out.
Thanks for sharing your travels with us. Most of all, thanks for your honesty & sharing your beautiful family as well. Maybe some day I will visit Ghana. I watch videos such as this to gain insight & to learn. So much better than a scripted T.V show/ program. Again, thanks for sharing. God bless!
Reminds me of my first visit..great show...however bro you should have done the other six canopy bridges even without the girls. your lucky you did'nt have schoolkids running on and shaking the bridge..love GHANA Such happy and peaceful people..we in the west may have more comfortable lives, but we are miserable compared to these people..going again next year.
Good job guys but there was more you could have done to make your stay in Ghana more pleasant. About the restrooms you could have walked into any restaurant or food joints to use the restrooms. Those places you went to and had to pay money to use the restrooms are made specifically for the locals. Trust me you should have done more research before and to tell you the truth Ghana is one of the best places you can live or visit on the motherland.
What a beautiful family 👍 I absolutely enjoyed watching this. The Burger place y'all went is really for white tourists who don't really know what the authentic Ghana Jollof should taste like. You guys made some good comments at the end. The Ghanaian government needs to do more to improve the infrastructure .
INFRASTRUCTURES IN ALL AFRICA NEED TO BE IMPROVE. OUR MINERALS RESOURCES DO NOT BELONGS TO US BUT TO THE WHITE COLONIALISTS. THEY GIVE US ONLY 12 OR 15% OF OUR MINERALS THAT THEY EXPLOIT. THAT IS THE MAIN REASON OF AFRICA POVERTY.
Awwww babe gurl shes a cutie pie she's njoying herself What a fantastic experience for her living nd seeing the African Culture now babe girl could share her experience of AFRICA 🇬🇭 doing story time in school 😍
Thank you for sharing gosh the experience you share make me longing for a place I have never been...and btw you baby is beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuutiful like her parents
Wow that’s so dope. We took the same test and we are Nigerian as well as Liberian and Sierra Leone and it’s such a blessing to know that you have specific place in Africa you call home. .
@@TheFamilyONetwork I PROMISE I Will.. Your Movie TRULY Helped. Im in Virginia so yall being over here, and them OUTFIT YES!!! plus i want to get my hair braided.
I love that name "Libby." Actually, it's the name of a lead character in my book "How to train a wild puppy dog named, Manley." Yes, I'm an Amazon published author.
I like the way you present the situation and relate the finding step by step - as you go through every events - particularly not rush and self discovery and honesty in every steps... Your opinions is straight to the point - your wife explaining how she feel and really not buying any one face- down to earth... man !!! i don't see any difference while you going thru the crowd. you belong here, its your home. we already invested in your verbal experience henceforth... thanks again ( Setumo from South Africa )
Thank you so much for your kind words and insight. Africa is home and we hope others realize that which is why we put this film together. We paced ourselves as you noticed because we had 10 days to be here and didn’t want to do everything on the front end and nothing else to do on the backend. It was a journey that unfolded slowly in each episode. Thank you so much again!
We appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. We have more videos on the way! Please find us on instagram @the_family_o or on Facebook @therealfamilyo
Yes, public restrooms are one of the big issues in some part of the city. Your video is very educative and informative. You did awesome on this documentary. Great insight.
Thank you for sharing your experience in Ghana. I'm Nigerian living in US. When I visit Nigeria, I go to clean affordable local restaurants that have good food. Definitely not street food and not always the upper class restaurants largely patronized by tourists.

The dude that was kicked down the well in 300 or 3000 is called Peter Mensah and a Ghanaian native so you got that right because they probably come from the same tribe.
Peace family. Not sure who this is but thank you so much for rocking with us. We appreciate you. We’d love for you to drop your email on our upcoming website www.thefamilyo.com more videos coming soon!
Hey guys thanks for uploading the videos very well done. I'm currently residing in Merida Yucatan Mexico and EYE truly love it here not looking to move but we were definitely looking to visit Ghana but EYE have been turned OFF by this vaccination/ yellow fever and this yellow card you have to take before entering the country and the 225 price also so it may keep my husband and EYE from coming all together unless EYE can find a way around this vaccination.
This kid is so lovely she never complain about being tired I give her much respect little pretty

I agree, she is intelligent and gorgeous...

Our expectations are based on the fact that we travel all over the world not due to a westernized bias as one of us actually grew up in the continent for a period and our concerns was not a critique on the locals but more so the government having the resources to do better for our people and in some cases mismanaging it. We would not have spent several thousand dollars traveling to this country filming our experience and putting together the movie that you are commenting on which we said several times over that we enjoyed our experience overall if we were simply looking to bash the country. We are Nigerian so we have spent more time collectively in this continent than most people. If you ever plan on visiting the continent or if you are of African descent hopefully we can assist in clearing up some of your assumptions. But again please watch the video and it’s entirety before forming an opinion on our character. Thanks for watching!

When a man marries to a humble woman then happiness follow. That woman is cool and humble like Croatian president
Same when a woman marries and kind and loving man. Goes hand in hand. ✌

What a wonderful freedom to walk around in your natural skin, natural hair, your scarf and dashiki and not be looked at strangely like you’re a crackhead or something. It’s a beautiful thing. I can’t wait to visit.
I drive in washington DC and its very hard to find a public place of convenience, i walk into a fast food joint and was asked to buy something before i will be given the keys to the restrooms.
Cliff De Blakhunta= Very true most business in the US wouldn't let you use the restroom until you purchase something.
I just so love your family and the trip that you made back to the motherland. I am so interested in going to visit Ghana and Gambia. And by the way your daughter is so beautiful and manerable. Peace and blessings to you my beautiful black family,
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences with us. Liberty is highly intelligent and inquisitive for her age. I predict she will do great things in her future. This trip is definitely on my bucket list! Blessings!
We appreciate you. Thank you for your blessed words. Let’s please stay connected. If you wouldn’t mind dropping your email on our website www.thefamilyo.com
Liberty is just adorable
First of all I'd like to say you have a beautiful family ,and you all are the most wonderful ever,and your little angel is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, your video was so AMAZING ABSOLUTE LY I thoroughly enjoyed each ,and every excursion, truly thanks so much for filming expressly the sad ,sad museum where our Ancestors were taken and tortured, it was horrible, and made me feel for each ,and every pain ,and horror they endured, very emotional, but thank you guys for sharing . Lovely vacation that beach was awesome.
We appreciate you! Thank you for taking the time to watch as well as comment. Please find us on instagram @the_family_o or on Facebook @therealfamilyo more videos are on the way!
Thank you for your response, I greatly appreciate it, I hope next time when you visit any African country, you should show more of the rich Areas, and of course the poor areas too. We all knows Africa is poor, however the perception of how poor the continent is very exaggerated in the West. Showing Africa Cities in context could make people realize that with money you can live comfortably, just like anywhere else in the world.
we made sure to highlight all aspects of Ghana throughout our 10 days there. The great and the not so great. The mall for example is the largest in west Africa and had all the shops you would find in the west. We made sure to cover that among the other places we went. Thank you for checking us out.
I love your documentary. Thank you for sharing a part of your life and experiences with us. In regards to amenities you're used to, look into Rwanda. It may give you more check marks for the your list of items you need to really consider moving to Africa. I'll be moved there next year.
Liberty is so cute.
Liberty is the cutest and so well mannered.
Wow ... wonderful Brother. Please keep us informed. I'm very interested in going and its a pressing energy in my soul to live out my life in the mother land of all lands. I'm tired of this hatred evil in America ... Bob Marley sang it best when he sang "Exodus" and many of us are indeed getting up out of here!!
Deadra you most welcome to YOUR motherland
This is amazing. I’ve traveled all over the world but never been to any African country yet. I would love to travel to Ghana, even more after seeing y’alls experiences. Bless🙏🏿
That’s so awesome to say. We appreciate you and hope this video helps. Travel to the motherland is awesome but it’s all about proper planning. We documented our entire time to give a relatively balanced view of the good and not so good. Thank you for watching!
Ashley Davis go go go!!!
For the record, eggs have a natural film on them that prevents them from spoiling. As Americans, we wash our eggs, so this film is removed and the eggs have to be refrigerated.
Whenever I am in town in Ghana and I feel pressed I move to any closest hotel or restaurant and they have free comfortable restrooms for the public. Hope to see more videos of you back in Ghana. Bless ✌🏾✌🏾
I like this a lot 4 day you guys started to look just like Lovely Ghanians hahahaha I love it, and your daughter is so caring I like how she was asking her dad, if he is ok and should watch where he is going..... God bless
Enjoyed this,,great family, love the way you allow your daughter to expressed herself also great to hear your honest appraisal of Ghana, Ghana is trying,but it's great to have family like you making connections with Africa
Thank you so much. Africa is home. We would do a disservice if we didn’t share every aspect of our experience to those that may be curious to visit.Things of been moving at 100 miles an hour since our move but more content is on The way thank you for your patience with us through this period.
Your Daughter is so cuteeeeee. I am Ghanaian residing in the UK. Planning on going back for good. In Ghana you need to have patience. It is peacefull but it still has it's challenges. The good thing is that Accra is developing, you never know
Thank you so much for watching. More to come. Be sure to drop your email on our signup page www.thefamilyo.com
The Twinkle Twinkle Little Star ⭐️. That was it for me. The bright smile just watching a beautiful baby be her in the motherland. ❤
Thank you!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video of this families journey to Africa. It was very tastefully done and I especially appreciated the fact that it was a black family that was intelligent , alert and very positive . Their daughter reminded me of my daughters when they were this little girls age. I always appreciate things that show our race in a positive light.It's important that the world sees something about our culture besides gang banging, and acting ignorant and embarrassing ourselves. Hats off to this family, I thank them for sharing their vacation with us....
Thank you for this feedback. Greatly appreciated
This is the best travel vlogs I have seen about West Africa but Ghana in particular.You managed to pack in so much info regarding people,imports,exports,currency,food etc etc etc.i loved your reaction to new things especially using the loo haha.You showed such love and respect and you made this really enjoyable to watch.Remain blessed.
We are so thankful you enjoyed it. Ghana was a great overall experience. Please be sure so subscribe and visit our website www.thefamilyo.com and drop your email address for our website relaunch. More to come!
great video, i like the way you told my little girl " you are going to accra mall which is just like the state malls" haha
She is a diva so well spoken and will run the world one day. She is adorable our future ms doctor or lawyer.
Loved this little girl, she so cute, , so smart, I wanna hug her, put her on my back all day long if she will let me. watching Family O felt like i was in cinema, such a humble family too..👌🙌❤️♥️
Wow thank you so much for these kind words. We are so happy that you enjoyed the documentary. We have more coming very soon. Please subscribe and find us on social media
24:30 I'm from Nigeria and it's pretty similar to Ghana in most ways. I'm also born and raised in Texas as well. Whenever I go to Nigeria, everyone who meets me knows I am American just by mannerisms or lingo I'm probably missing! Happens to everyone who doesn't live in west Africa even people with direct ties to the countries.
Amyyy awwwww you right my dear Sister ❤❤❤❤
Christopher Jones 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂this first generation africans in america are something. U wud think their parents never told me something. When they come to africa they act "white" n strange
Amyyy..I’m from Abilene Tx and planning on a tour to Ghana. They say the Nigerian dollar is 500 to 1 and the Ghana cedis is 5 to 1. So is it cheaper to live in Nigeria. I raise longhorns in Huntsville and want to move to Africa to start cattle business. Can you guide or provide me with any info.
U are an african. Your ancestors were kidnapped and brought to America. It does matter were you were born. Here is an example. If a Lion borns in a pig sty, he is Lion. The same thing goes for you. Africa is in u and it doesn't matter were u were born.
yo that girl is so cute 💗
😍😍
I am so happy to see this Proud Family😍 God bless all of you and God bless Africa from Senegal
Thank you so much for watching
That Oxford Street must've been named after Oxford Street in Central London. It's a shopping area where tourist usually visit.
My town, it's 3 stops on yge tube from where I work. 😊
Nice young family in the motherland, long live good people
Best documentary ever done on Ghana. Good job guys. You have exposed a lot of things Ghana can improve upon especially sanitation we will take it up.
+konkonbishl thank you for watching!
Beautiful family. I love your experience journey to Ghana. Africa.
One of the Best Visit Ghana Documentary Movie even for 2020, this should be on TV!
Wow we really appreciate your kind words. We wanted to represent Africa destinations in a positive manner.
Wow.... love the lil girl ...she's so cute...
That's a great video...you guys are always welcome to Ghana
Thank you so very much for sharing your family’s experience 🙏🏾🫶🏾wishing you and your beautiful blessings in every area of your lives 😊
You are so welcome
I love the video. Watching this video made me more convinced to go to Africa.
That’s so awesome to hear. It was an overall positive experience. We will definitely be back. Please checkout www.thefamilyo.com and drop your email there because we have more great content coming.
Awesome video! Beautiful family. Brilliant child on cuteness overload. This is the only thing I've watched on UA-cam that was longer than 15 minutes, lol. Loved it.
We appreciate you. So glad you enjoyed. Thank you for watching. We’d love for you to drop your email on our upcoming website www.thefamilyo.com more videos coming soon!
Thank you for sharing your journey to Africa with us!! It was very rewarding, y’all made it personable, as if I was there with y’all!! The emotion was heartfelt and the facts were real!! Thank you so much!!💜🎉🙏🏽✝️🎶
We appreciate you for writing these wonderful words. Thank you! More to come.
That feeling like you’ve been there before are our ancestors/family crying out from within our souls. They are crying out 😓😓😓😓
Your daughter is unbelievably adorable!! I can listen to her talk all day!! Thank you for sharing your Ghanaian experiences! This definitely brought back memories of my visits to Ghana.
17:14: Speaking to the children in the market - your African- Ghanaian accent was SPOT ON!!! You are truly Ghanaian!
Would really love to go back home and build with my returnee brothers and sisters. Our home is some what broken but together we will do wonderful things
Richard Heymann true talk

Awesome!!!!!!!! LOVE THIS😍😍😍😍😍
I really enjoyed watching your family video. Thank you! All the best!
I really enjojed this wonderful documentary. Thank you so much for sharing. Welcome to The Gambia and Senegal.
We appreciate you. Thanks for watching!
lovely video. but i didnt see u try any Ghanaian Authentic food, fried yams, fried fish or grilled tilapia etc. You Just kept on enjoying your pizza and jollof hmm
We were vegetarians when we recorded this. Now vegan...try to avoid making assumptions without full insight. Thanks for watching
Loool. Those ladies arguing in the beginning are Ga, (original ethinic group of Accra) I was hearing them in the background before they appeared arguing. loool Eii my Ga people. 🤣🤣😂😂😂. Oh Chaley I miss Ghana.
It was such an interesting experience to capture. We loved our time in Ghana and we are thankful that you watched the film,those ladies were funny. We would love to stay connected if you wouldn’t mind sharing your email with us on www.thefamilyo.com
if you really missed Ghana then go back to your country.Simple as that
@@davidjohnson-xo9lv Hey David. I will be moving back to Ghana in the next few years as soon as I finish my schooling and finish settling all other preparations. I go to Ghana every 2-3 years so I frequent. 😊✌🏿
@@Naatorshie22 well said!
Though the video was long, i really enjoyed every bit of it.
We appreciate you. That blesses us to read this
Great stuff and balanced view of Ghana, I can't help but think you should have linked up with someone on the ground to guide you and smooth you into the culture. That would have made your experience much better than it was. WRT the bathroom situation it definitely needs to improve but best advise is handle all your business b4 you head out and hit the road. Good job though
Loved your documentary and family! Thank you!
We appreciate you for watching! Please drop your email on our website www.thefamilyo.com so we can stay connected.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I love the cohesiveness and dynamic of your family. When I get my money right, I will visit either Ghana or South Africa.
We appreciate you. Thank you for watching.
@@TheFamilyONetwork Fast forward and.....I'm here in Accra y'all. It's been enlightening so far! Tomorrow is Cape Coast...
@@blacknnatural I suggest you visit Ghana.
Where you guys from? Very awesome family. Please move back and help. Africa Unite.
You look beautiful in your scarf. Africa is too hot and humid for those wigs, extensions etc.
acajudi100, strangely or interestingly every African country I have had the opportunity to visit has women wearing them and heck they could give 50 fks about the heat or humidity.
acajudi100. African women are wearing fake hair too. Not as much as in America but they're getting there.
acajudi100 if Africa is too hot then have you been to miami .florida .california or mexico state before more hotter than africa go there and see difference or do you think that the whole of America had winter.stop talking shit about our beloved continent Africa.
That's a gross generalization
Acajudi 100, LOL, so true I'm burning up just thinking about it..
I love you guys! Your daughter is the absolute sweetest I may be white, but I truly enjoyed learning more through you I subbed so im looking forward to following your adventures! I know good people when I see them! bless you!
It is great to see anyone enjoy this family and this information. That is truly what Martin Luther King, Jr fought for.
She’s so smart and beautiful 🌹
Newbie to ur family channel
Oh how i love yall video 👍❤ Absolutely Beautiful
I so much luvs AFRICA THE MOTHERLAND ❤💛💚🇬🇭
I can't wait to return back this year 2019 for Christmas 🤗🙌 year of return #MyRoots💞
Hi. I am so encouraged by the fact that African Americans are travelling back to roots! what you re doing is amazing. I watch a lot of UA-cam videos but I have never seen one that has so many commercial interruptions. Do you guys have that same experience? it's very disruptive and the types of commercials that they're using are not what I normally see in my feeds. Wondering if there's some bias in there somewhere that we need to sniff out.
Thanks for sharing your travels with us. Most of all, thanks for your honesty & sharing your beautiful family as well. Maybe some day I will visit Ghana. I watch videos such as this to gain insight & to learn. So much better than a scripted T.V show/ program.
Again, thanks for sharing.
God bless!
This is beautiful
wow yall chilling
That was pretty much all there was to do in Africa was chill. We enjoyed ourselves thank you for rocking with us
That end recap was just what I needed to hear. Thanks you have been a grea help!
Glad to hear it! Keep us posted when you go.
I think I'm from Ghana too... I'mma visit there
Reminds me of my first visit..great show...however bro you should have done the other six canopy bridges even without the girls.
your lucky you did'nt have schoolkids running on and shaking the bridge..love GHANA Such happy and peaceful people..we in the west may have more comfortable lives, but we are miserable compared to these people..going again next year.
Great points. Definitely not about that life when it came to the canopy bridge. We appreciate you watching.
Beautiful Family...Thanks for sharing
We appreciate you. We’d love for you to drop your email on our upcoming website www.thefamilyo.com more videos coming soon!
The Family O UA-cam...yOur more than welcome Fam...I signed up to the web sight
Let’s nOt be strangers...hoping to be in Ghana VERY Soon✌🏿✊🏾
This little girl is precious 😭 and I’m Ghanaian living in Canada. Been 3 times and plan on eventually moving🇬🇭
Good job guys but there was more you could have done to make your stay in Ghana more pleasant. About the restrooms you could have walked into any restaurant or food joints to use the restrooms. Those places you went to and had to pay money to use the restrooms are made specifically for the locals. Trust me you should have done more research before and to tell you the truth Ghana is one of the best places you can live or visit on the motherland.
I don't think that standard is good for the locals and I wouldn't want to be treated better in someone's country than they are. That's not good.
What a beautiful family 👍
I absolutely enjoyed watching this.
The Burger place y'all went is really for white tourists who don't really know what the authentic Ghana Jollof should taste like.
You guys made some good comments at the end. The Ghanaian government needs to do more to improve the infrastructure .
We agree on both your points. The Jollof was severely lacking. Thank you for rocking with us! More to come
INFRASTRUCTURES IN ALL AFRICA NEED TO BE IMPROVE. OUR MINERALS RESOURCES DO NOT BELONGS TO US BUT TO THE WHITE COLONIALISTS. THEY GIVE US ONLY 12 OR 15% OF OUR MINERALS THAT THEY EXPLOIT. THAT IS THE MAIN REASON OF AFRICA POVERTY.
It's crazy how y'all fit in so quickly 😂. I'm from Ghana and I struggle with this kinda life. Well done!
Haha we appreciate you. Africa is home so we adapted quickly. Thanks for watching.
Awwww babe gurl shes a cutie pie she's njoying herself
What a fantastic experience for her living nd seeing the African Culture now babe girl could share her experience of AFRICA 🇬🇭 doing story time in school 😍
YOUR BABY IS SO WELL SPOKEN AND I KNOW THAT'S FROM GREAT COMMUNICATION AND PARENTING
Thank you! Yes we never talked to her like a “baby”. We appreciate your kind words
Thank you for sharing gosh the experience you share make me longing for a place I have never been...and btw you baby is beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuutiful like her parents
just got my DNA back and I'm 40%Ghana I'm planning to visit
Wow that’s so dope. We took the same test and we are Nigerian as well as Liberian and Sierra Leone and it’s such a blessing to know that you have specific place in Africa you call home. .
The Family O UA-cam yes I know right
I can even feel that you are a relative😊😊😊
Really am liberian you are our brother. I wish our AA brothers know how much some of us love ❤️ the i am Liberian American by the way.

This beautiful little girl is adorable.God bless her and the parents.
I love that name "Libby." Actually, it's the name of a lead character in my book "How to train a wild puppy dog named, Manley." Yes, I'm an Amazon published author.
I like the way you present the situation and relate the finding step by step - as you go through every events - particularly not rush and self discovery and honesty in every steps...
Your opinions is straight to the point - your wife explaining how she feel and really not buying any one face- down to earth... man !!! i don't see any difference while you going thru the crowd. you belong here, its your home.
we already invested in your verbal experience henceforth... thanks again ( Setumo from South Africa )
Thank you so much for your kind words and insight. Africa is home and we hope others realize that which is why we put this film together. We paced ourselves as you noticed because we had 10 days to be here and didn’t want to do everything on the front end and nothing else to do on the backend. It was a journey that unfolded slowly in each episode. Thank you so much again!
I love you guys I can’t wait to see you guys in Ghana when I come
The lil girl stole my heart. She is sooo beautiful, out spoken and smart. Wish I could hug her 😍
We appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. We have more videos on the way! Please find us on instagram @the_family_o or on Facebook @therealfamilyo
Yes, public restrooms are one of the big issues in some part of the city. Your video is very educative and informative. You did awesome on this documentary. Great insight.
Thanks for watching!
I love your journey to Ghana 🇬🇭.
Beautiful family your daughter is sooo cute
Thank you for sharing your experience in Ghana. I'm Nigerian living in US. When I visit Nigeria, I go to clean affordable local restaurants that have good food. Definitely not street food and not always the upper class restaurants largely patronized by tourists.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch. We appreciate your feedback.
Nothin wrong with street food. It depends where you get it. Am ghanaian in germany.
u want to look big when u visit ur own country?? too known
Your family is so cute

darling, you walk with your TP, your soap and bottles of water. Even in EU i walk with my TP and soap. The market had a lot of things.
The dude that was kicked down the well in 300 or 3000 is called Peter Mensah and a Ghanaian native so you got that right because they probably come from the same tribe.
Yup we agree. He’s a great African actor
Your wife looks so nice in the African prints ,woww🙌

Hey guys thanks for uploading the videos very well done. I'm currently residing in Merida Yucatan Mexico and EYE truly love it here not looking to move but we were definitely looking to visit Ghana but EYE have been turned OFF by this vaccination/ yellow fever and this yellow card you have to take before entering the country and the 225 price also so it may keep my husband and EYE from coming all together unless EYE can find a way around this vaccination.
