People really have to understand that moving to a new country will never be the same as your country of origin.
@Nii Amu -Very true and thanks for the comment 😊!
I’ve been here in Ghana since September 2021 I moved from America the state of North Carolina I am very happy and content here in doubt very seriously I’ll never move back to the United States❗️😁
@DeJay jackson - Love that! Thanks for the comment ❤️️🇬🇭❤️️.
I agree I moved here in December of 21 and I love it here.
The last sentence is unclear..could you please edit
@@chrischris3359 Vodafone Internet is extremely fast a little bit faster than most home Internet’s in America
@@chrischris3359 Since I’ve been here the power’s only one off one time
You guys have done soo well in Ghana. You look very happy together.
Yes we are, Thanks!
I'm here from America my husband and I love Ghana. It's been 1 year.
Am from the island i will make it. I know how things work. Am not coming there with the western mine set.
@Orlene Elliott, most people from the islands have no problems because it looks familiar.
In GHANA or Africa as a whole, the people have to fend for themselves. Imagine being in the Western world and taking everything for granted.
People in the West already do this.
I am Ghanaian living in Australia. When I came here, I wanted to return to Ghana after the first month because everything was different. Now I am used to and have come to embrace the culture. Just like eating fish and thinking of chicken, it is the same here depending on the source of food whether it is sushie, Indian carrie food, etc. I have today come to like the Indian carrie food. It is what it is. Every country is different.
Great comment - Thanks for adding to the conversation ❤️️💛💚!
How do I get to Australia. Without finding difficulties
Indian curry
Were there a problems there is opportunities and where there is opportunity there is money money to be made. Ghana needs problem solvers.
Tony and Ayo, you are like a breath of fresh air! Always interesting and informative, love it!!👍🏽
Wow, thank you!
@@ExpatLifeGhana You are quite welcome!
You both look great. The secret of enjoying a short visit anywhere or a permanent move is to think WE when you interact with your hosts. Always do your best to fit in. You all will do just fine wherever you are. Still enchanted and watching from Uruguay.
I really enjoyed watching this episode and so happy that you are really feeling at home,you guys respect the people and love the people,that is what I think has made you comfortable in the country.Keep enjoying the land.
Guys you are doing great here in Ghana, my little advice is that try the local markets and you will find things low cost, shopping always from the super market is a bit expensive
Yup yup yup, those who have never lived in different countries will learn one way or the other depends how bad you want to stay in that country.
I’m definitely going to make it to Ghana, I went in 2019 and I love it!❤️I learn a like and the culture, yes true it can be expensive. There are other continents to go too, Tanzania is cheap, and Gambia!❤️
Great comment - Thanks for adding to the conversation ❤️️💛💚!
You mean other countries the continent is Africa
gambia, and tanzania, and ghana are not continents, they are countries, AFRICA is the continent!
There are places you can pee at like papaye, kfc, gas stations. There are several places that are very clean. Malls all have washrooms. There are places in the outskirts that also have them but may not be very clean. All in all you have more than enough options to ease yourself. One thing I will say is that due to the organic nature of our dietary when you have to ease, its not a joke. It will knock you down if you are not careful (hold your butt)
love the head wrap and good information
@Angel L - Love that! Thanks for the comment ❤️️🇬🇭❤️️.
Love these topics. Need to be discussed. Expats coming there with western frameworks. It naaaah wuk. Stay where yuh deh
When I Lived In Japan, I Came Back Home To America With An Appreciation For Space. I Loved My Experience But Recognized The Differences. After Watching A Few Of Your Videos, Let Me just Say That I’m So Glad I’m American. Thank You Jesus You Provided A Great Life For Me In America With The Most Supportive American Parents Any Child Could Ask For.
Thanks for sharing I enjoyed the vlog🥰
They do need better customer service. I was in Ghana in 85, and I dealt with the same inconveniences. I cannot believe things are the same after 30 years. Loved my trip.
That was great information. Thank you so much. Amen
Glad it was helpful!
Great content. Keep it coming 👌🏾
I thank you for telling them about some things needed
@Beatrice Owusu Achaw - Our pleasure and thanks for the comment 😊!
Greetings family. I'm just checking out the video. Great list, I would also add that if they are going to be driving here get used to the traffic and some horrible roads. See you at the parti.
It will be a glorious day when all Africans return home to Mother Africa.
Thanks for bringing this
Oh their attention
Tony and Ayo great job guys , you keep it real
They tell you why you wont make it in Ghana then get mad if you say ok you are staying in america. America is not as bad as they make ot seem and Ghana isnt that backwards either,
Thanks for letting them know
Thanks for sharing 🌷
Negotiating prices is not just a Ghanaian thing but it is an African thing.
It may be easier to navigate for those who have already traveled to other countries on continent. I've had a combination of fun adventures & few frustrations.
Y’all looking soo fabulous
Tony’s shirt looks so nice
In addition to three of the five things you mentioned, there are several other deal breakers for me. A two-week visit is all I would do.
@TruthSerum101 - Being openly treated less than white people in the states was our deal breaker, along with all the random shootings and gun violence. Think about all the negative that is worse conditions than Ghana you are accepting just to live in a developed country... Oppression is a drug for some though and thanks for the comment 😊!
@@ExpatLifeGhana "Oppression is a drug for some". Indeed, there are many instances where it is conveniently ignored, . The oppression of Ghanaian women & the legislated persecution of Ghanaian gays come to mind.. Those would be two other deal breakers for my family. There are also places in the US & in other "developed countries" "where we would NEVER consider living. I understand why you hated living in gun-toting Houston. I would not want to live there either. We live in a very progressive area of Manhattan. Still, I am fascinated with many aspects of Ghanaian culture and that is why I watch your channel and others. We planned to visit in 2021, but the pandemic postponed those plans to 2022.
@@TruthSerum101 Are Ghanaian women oppressed ? give me examples
@@TruthSerum101 Its always amazing, hearing what some Black folks are willing to accept from wyte people, but not from their own. Comparing a borough (not even an entire city) in the US, to an entire country is the epitome of Stockholm Syndrome. The wyte man's ice is always colder, I guess. 🤷🏿♂️
@@shahross8366 And I, in turn, am amazed at the number of people who didn't pay attention in civics. The US is comprised of various jurisdictions - including STATES. Where one lives in the US matters.
Regarding "white ice water," I have combated racism for decades; and thankfully, I have not been BROKEN BY or PREOCCUPIED WITH the illusion of white superiority. Believe it or not, there are many socially conscious black people who are NOT chronically miserable in the US. I have lived out of the US before, and I don't begrudge anyone that experience.
Thanks! 🤣😂🤣 You two are hilarious!
Don’t forget that these inconveniences that you mentioned here were worse over fifty years ago when W.E.B Du Bois lived in Ghana until he died August 1963. If he was able to make Ghana his home as an American, then anyone should be able to look past these inconveniences and survive.
Are you sure they were worse?
To be fair Dubois was a special guest of Nkrumah so be didn't live live a regular Joe.
@@abotsia he wasn’t the only American who lived in Ghana even at that time. Maya Angelo lived there as well. Her only son was born in Ghana. Right here on UA-cam you can find Americans who have lived in Ghana for over 50 years. They are older black Americans living in Ghana they’re just not on UA-cam getting paid.
@@Maameelle78 prove otherwise, lol
@@idi58marbell35 where do you live in Ghana? Maya Angelou and W E B Dubois did not have it worse. They didn't live a regular Joe's life.
Not sure where u grew up in Ghana, but your comparison and reasons are not convincing.
Tony and Ayo! Ayo with the DOPE HEAD-WRAP, Tony with the DAPPER DRIP! Yeah!
You know things will get better in future
Thank you, if one wants to live western life in Africa please leave Africa alone ..... things that are not good we will change it our way thanks...❤😁 also Ghana is not only Accra ooo....Kumasi, Takoradi, Temale, Sunyani etc all affordable places to live and enjoy life...xx
You both look beautiful in white! I think there is not too much difference between the Ghanians and the diaspora in the Caribbean Islands. I'm going back in few months cause I'm not enjoying living in the West anymore. Despite all the inconveniences I feel free and more loved over there!
Thanks sis. Jamaican in the USA. Tired of the west. Jamaica has me well prepared for Ghana !
@Bebi Sterling -Well what are you waiting for and thanks for the comment 😊!
Sweetie, thank you, I am preparing things to get out of here, from the Vincy living in the USA for more than 40 years, I am more than ready ghana 🇬🇭 it's home 🏡 everything in the USA right now is more expensive! Coming back to your ancestors land it's a blessing; thank you for sharing

@@andreaknight2199 just link up when you touch down hope you're on IG?
Thank you both
Your handsome adorable son made me subscribe to your channel. On a separate note, your video is so true. I felt the same coming from the UK to Ghana trying to leave the western way of comfort and that became so expensive to maintain. A good example was a KitKat my son pickup at the ShopRite supermarket in Accra Mall, which cost 40pence in Uk, shockingly in Ghana was the equivalent of £1.37p, more than 3 times the price in the UK and many more comparisons.
😍 wise wordsas always
I see the different art works 👍✌️👌
@Ray luxe - More to come and thanks for the comment 😊!
My husband is a Ghanaian and he told me not to speak,else he going to paid foreign price.
Everything is negotiable in Ghana so if act like a foreigner, you will pay for that.
😃😂
good advice, wait, be patient and learn from your husband...else once some people hear your 'accent' ...well, GLEE, they suddenly feel like they've just hit the jackpot! you WILL get the obroni price!
😅😆🤣😆🤣😆😅
@Sharon Mair - Very true, I won't speak unless I absolutely have too and thanks for the comment 😊!
I was born and raise in tema but I must say the slow paste kills me, I am always fighting with people over there
@ADMIN BENTLEY -We don't mind the slow pace, no rush to get to tomorrow and thanks for the comment 😊!
@@ExpatLifeGhana well I do because they never get things done
It will improve🤗
PATIENCE is necessary! Hence why I struggled when I came in December. !
Damn tony, your shirt is hard.
The restroom is FACTS especially in Kenya!! ...I know one thing that if I do go to the bathroom while we are out its normally once in a 12 hours day.
I feel like this video was directed at the Expat Life Facebook group but never truer words were spoken.
My husband is in Ghana, and I’m considering moving there until he gets his visa.
♥️ the new intro. I couldn't hack it in Ghana.
@Kimmi Xerxs - We hate hearing things like that...You're OK with the way police treat black people, or how the system is rigged against blacks, or how they just shoot up schools, or all the oppressive things blacks go through in America though. The system is even making it so blacks are less likely to vote and you will have even less of a voice but you can hack that? Why, and thanks for the comment 😊!
@@ExpatLifeGhana Shalom Ayo and Tony, I visited Ghana in 2003 and loved it. I tried living for 3 months in Kenya, Lamu in 2012. I know they're different countries.
The inconveniences I experienced are the main reasons, I really am used to a Western lifestyle.
Yes, I have patience to a degree but all of the things you mentioned in your video, they would get on my nerves and make me too hot-headed and frustrated and homesick.
I live in the UK, yes we have racism here on a different scale and how it manifests as opposed to America and they do kill our people in police custody.
Also I'm a lady living by myself so I wouldn't come alone. I wouldn't go and live in any country by myself. If I was happily married, then, then maybe I would.
Also, what kind of job would I have? What type of job would I get? I'm not a business orientated person or an entrepreneur. Where in Ghana would I live.
Reasons I left Kenya in Lamu; Kenya it was so far away from my friends and family and everything I knew.
But I also don't like the scale and magnitude of the poverty, the dust in the rainy season. The bugs and the size of them. The lack of infrastructure. Not knowing the customs, the nuances, the languages, these are all barriers for me.
If I had a familiar connection to Ghana maybe I would think differently.
I JUST "LOVE" these two people,,,. ONE LOVE,,,. for me JAH LOVE,,,. Try and have a good day,,,.
TBH the star for every show of yours is Leo! Hands down! Don't care wha anybody says 😁👌🏾
Saying "THESE" people in a land that is not your own is insulting. Unfortunately, I have seen on youtube some not all African American brother's and sister's exhibiting the same ways that make Africans leery of Europeans. The more you integrate and make genuine friendships with locals the richer your experience will be. The natural inclination is to separate yourself into an enclave of expats etc and I just think it is a no win situation in the long run if you really intend to make Ghana or any other African country your home.
Also, whenever someone say's "THESE" people whether it is coming from an African or African American or any other race, the unsaid part is " WE or I AM BETTER THAN THESE PEOPLE".
at the end of the day they are african it in there dna
Not sure if I can rough it. But we'll see! My boyfriend of three years is Ghanaian and is building a house there!
They kind of make it sound strange...not sure which part of Ghana they are at. Remember there are all kinds of people from Europe , Asia , Arab and Ghanaians themselves who live and have lived there comfortably for years and dont carry tp around outside their homes lol
I know all about that in the is the same thing. I call it we go slow and slower
Thank you for all your information. What kind of jobs are there if you needed to gain employment?
I think ghana being expensive sometimes depend on where you wonna live , in ghana accra is very expensive but living in kumasi which is the second capital is very cheap
I don't get it when they say Ghana is expensive.
A ticket to an event may cost you 200 cedis in Accra, but in Kumasi, it may be 100 cedis; When a rent of same standard is 300 cedis pm, in Kumasi and other cities in Ghana 🇬🇭, it'll be about half. Some nice quiet towns on the Kwahu plateau, around Asante Mampong and Bono-Ahafo can cost you way less. And these places are less hot than Accra. So it all depends on where you wanna live in Ghana 🇬🇭!
@@outlyfe7570 - I don’t quite get it either. I would not have to pay Dubai money in Ghana (Accra) in order to live a comparable lifestyle I live in Washington, D.C.
Shoprite, probably Ghana’s most expensive grocery store (provision store), is still cheaper than the American grocery stores I frequent, especially Whole Foods. I pay my barber about &1.50 to cut my hair, and he comes to my guesthouse to do it.. I have had to pay out of pocket several times over a 10-month-period to get medical/dental care here in Ghana. Cheaper is not o lot about housing (which is still on average than most housing in Washington).
Do not discourage the people and maybe you did get the right place .
From the general overview of the collective videos from this channel, it sounds like Ghana has potential, but (for me at least) a bit challenging. I’m super flexible, but it’s less about how it works, it’s THAT it works lol. The culture part for me would be easy, but the fundamentals of day to day life administration don’t sound rock solid (ie - having the bribe/haggle, no standards in exchange of currency, schedules, reliability of infrastructure, etc).
I don’t get it people why people get frustrated over no price lists. In America or some countries there is that negotiation market. So if we look at it as you are at a swap meets or a farmers market or similar here in USA you go and can negotiate prices. I go to swap meets to do just that. State fairs you can negotiate especially at the last days and that is that vendors last day and last event for the year when you converse with them. so what is the big fuss in Africa not just ghana. Egypt
Thank you nice 👍🏿
Went to Ghana for 3 weeks (just to see the place, no intention of staying) and these guys aren't joking about negotiating prices. Anything that doesn't have a price tag on it, be ready to negotiate or you will be overcharged. It can be draining sometimes but it's just the norm over there.
Potter - The haggling over prices, while necessary, can absolutely be draining, especially when the business transaction taking place outside in the hot son.
I’m currently in Ajumako, Ghana in the Central Region. I will return to Accra later today.
I bring toilet paper too. Lots! For the toilet protector and for me, Lol
I'm Good 👍🏾
@Black Hannah - We are no longer good in openly oppressive systems against black people. How are people still good with living on their knees for so long still happy to keep it going without end in sight for them and thanks for the comment 😊!
Hope I get to meet you guys am moving there next week
I have no money but I think I will make it am very skillfull
This is my fear, not having enough money or ability to make money while there. I know someone that is returning to the US to make money to live there.
Ayo & Tony- please forgive my ignorance...Ghana is the country, is Tema the city? (I think it is.) Is Tema in a state, like here in the U.S.?
These observations sound very much like parting shots. Are you guys leaving? On a serious note, it seems to me like Ghana has very wide business opportunities. All these inconveniences are opportunities waiting to be filled. You guys can open a chain of "restrooms". You can provide world class ablution facilities throughout Accra and charge 1 cedi for number one and 2 cedis for number 2 for example.
@Bekisipho Tshili -We just tell the truth, no parting shots and definitely not leaving and thanks for the comment 😊!
@Bekusipho Tshili, Great business ideas.
@@ExpatLifeGhana Thank you! No unrealistic expectations. It's similar too American who want to convert to "Tiny House " living but still expect to keep their 80 inch tv. I would like to "visit" Ghana.
I know Uncle Tony not leaving 🥰
The pricing goes that way for a Ghanaians as well as the foreigner .
Great information ! Thank you! I guess some people want to treat others the way they have been treated... It's colonized mindset and we need to leave that alone.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Charley akwaba part lol 😆
I’m not sure what I eat in America sometimes
I’m working on my patience, I promise I am lol.
@Shelis Shepp-Nduom - Love that! Thanks for the comment ❤️️🇬🇭❤️️.
The way I look at it..find solutions to make yourself happy..if you don't have money work harder..ok...I have a security job..I work for Uber, substitute teaching online and IT consult..as long as am doing legal work..am always able to afford the lifestyle I want..heck I have worked for Uber in GHANA before..it helped me stay away from blood suckers
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I couldn't make it. No drinking water from the sink, Slow development, Electric constantly off and on. If I can't make Kool Aid anytime I want it,Naw.😒
Hey I think you two need to chill out more and get out of the city go to the mountains where it’s cool and nice if you never been to the mountains in Ghana you need to try it please!! am sure you’ll enjoy it go to the Eastern region Mamfe aburi go for a tour of the mountain please 🙏🏾 relax and chill my brother you remind me of one of my best friend you even look alike I liked the vibes
Or, getting American dollar and living in Ghana 👋. Then u can live really good.
@Kojo A - spending wisely you can and thanks for the comment 😊!
If you come to Ghana with a health determination , you will make it trust me. I see some African American who come to Ghana with no vision at all. And they fail go back and start polluting others. No country is perfect so come with a purpose.
Ghana isn’t for everyone you have to have an open mind if not your not going to make it.
You're right
Just you should add a few points, but live there longer and do business for 11,12 years like us and youll see theres more. To live and retire its great. If you do more there, Ghana can and will drive one nuts.
I have fired employees with their I beg, I beg you after they messed up and think running that apology spech changes everything. That gifting culture which is the reason for bribing, because they dont get the difference between a gift and practically extorted bribe. I even went to chiefs without a gift. Why should I? Safety, Thefts, Road safety,..... that list is extremely long.
Maybe go to South Africa or Namibia… Africa is a big place….look around and find a better fit. Not everything is for everybody. Some will love Ghana, some will find a better fit in Rwanda…some need to go to Southern Africa…
Why would they do that when Ayo is a half Ghanaian? If she can't embrace her own culture why would she be there in the first place. Drives me insane when people suggest other countries. Anywhere you go there will be challenges and deal breakers. Even in the West there are plenty of obstacles and challenges and that's why they m9ved and CHOSE Ghana. Who wants to live in SA with all their racism...
I think the statement was speaking to people in general. Not every country is a good fit. And why are you angry and unnecessarily rude.
Negativity generate more views.Regardless police officers in Ghana are not going to shoot you for being of certain colour skin.
You go to any store you are not looked at with suspicion. as pertains in the so called advance countries.l have experience discrimination in Europe n America and very much appreciate my motherland Ghana .
I looked up property in Ghana is very expensive to opposed to Nigeria I am from Texas and have traveled to Ethiopia, Nigeria stayed in Nigeria for 1 month very peaceful.
Iam a white upper middle class American,My life is golden,because iam white,collegr educated,have alot of money,My life is pure bliss,But if i was born into a black lower middle class family,I would move to the motherland for sure.Racism exists,on both sides of the color barrier,but The white man rules in America.If you are a black american,You must adapt to a third world nation,that is one hundred years behind America,and always will be, You will not be killed for being black. Accept ghana culture,because its different,does not mean its bad,only different.lol russell wayne boyd.
I heard you can live an American life in East Lagoon.
East Legon, Airport Hills, Cantonments, Rigde and few parts of Tema. Take all that Tony and Ayo are saying seriously...they have truly integrated and understand how Ghana works.
Yeah I heard about Cantonments when I was over there as well, but you would pay a premium to live their. Being able to go lean may be the best approach.
Yes, if you have the money. You provide your own standby gen set or solar power and huge water storage systems. There are loads of big shopping centers that sell foreign food. Cost of house rent is in dollars.
@A. M. -It is very expensive to live "American" in those places and thanks for the comment 😊!
Legon, pronounce Lay-gun
The more European the life style the more challenging
Waakye pls
You hit all the topics.
They say you people to me all the time in Ghana. Lol I say you Ghanaians. For me what is expressive is using credit for phones. I still won't use a Ghana phone. Lol can't go back to credit phones of the 80's. With my staff I pay out their phone for credit while working.

@@ExpatLifeGhana Thank you.
Im not living in Ghana but I come about every 3 months. Sense 2017 I have not done any meet & greet. I usually connect with the marcus garvey foundation in Ghana. Thank you for the invite. May be next time, after August I will be in Ghana fir several months.

Why does she always have to interrupt him throw in the last word or pull a facial expression to catch attention.
You should try living in the Caribbean first it’s similar to living in Africa. Also I watched another video of yours where you intimated that Africans don’t like African Americans. Well it’s not African Americans only it’s all black people who reminds them of slavery and I found that out some 40 odd years ago.
"Africans don't like African Americans?"
How did you experience this hatred from Africans some 40 years ago, and what has solidified that thinking for you since?
@Cynthia Emanuel - We have been all through the Caribbean...It is nothing like Africa...Other than some clothing and language, its different and thanks for the comment 😊!
@@ExpatLifeGhana
Could you expand on that, what is the profound difference that you found?
@@py20 I’m not African American by the way I’m from the Caribbean. In fact I don’t like the term African American period you are either African, meaning you come from an African country, or you are American. I experienced African prejudice in the Uk where the claim and blame us for slavery which they don’t like to be associated with
That is not true; I am shack to hear you say the Caribbean is nothing like africa! We still have our african culture and traditional ways only the language is English; you need to have a live and invite the Caribbean people to speak for themselves! I will tell you we are no different. We are all Africans! I don't see any changes much from my African ancestors that I don't do every day in the USA. I am from St. Vincent and the Grenadines; Thank you
Then why are you there?

Nothing moves in Africa, people don’t work. Always in the street, instead staying in the office. No responsibility…
If expats are looking for an easy transition from the west to Africa, then I would choose Nairobi over Ghana. Nairobi has been voted the best city for expats in Africa. The city has great weather, good infrastructure, it’s green and modern.
@Zenn -Ghana ranks #2 safest country in Africa while Kenya isn't in the top ten and thanks for the comment 😊!
@@ExpatLifeGhana violent crime is lower in ghana. But Kenyas reputation suffered from terrorist attacks too. And looking to the issues in Bawku, Kandiga, and the Burkina Faso spreading into upper east.... I dont think Ghana will stay in 2nd place.

Strong rebuttal 🤣😍
@@alexanderstrauss4785 still Ghana is a number 2 peaceful country in the whole Africa, and number 37 peaceful country in the whole world
@@ExpatLifeGhana Ghana a safe country with no water ! I’m sorry I’m just reporting what expats in Africa have decided. Ghana needs to do a lot better compared to many African countries!
You guys complain about trivial things and I think Ghana don’t need you. You’ve always been negative talking about Ghana . Your children are home schooled and you yourself are not engaging in any skilled work. Ayo been educationist and then you guy in the building trade. What exactly made you moved to Ghana . Your content has always been irrelevant and I think you just don’t have anything to offer but just to keep UA-cam money coming in. Ghana didn’t ask you to come so if you don’t like it there you can always go back to the US
Did we watch the same video, bro?
You just don't read the caution then start commenting, at least try and watch the video.
Django K: I can tell you are not a Westerner from your writing. This is important because these types of educational videos are not geared towards you. You have no idea what information we Westerners need to know/hear in order to make a trip or permanent move. These insights are helpful to us because of our different Western living experiences. Not to be offensive, but you truly don’t understand. You’ve taken offense when none was given. This video is not meant for native born African people, who continue to live in Africa. This would be no different than you watching African specific videos geared towards helping you (African) immigrate to Western countries. Those type of videos would help you understand and prepare for the cultural mind shift necessary for a successful move/trip. Westerners don’t need to be taught how to live in the West, we know because we are born and raised there. Just like Africans don’t need to be taught how to live in Africa, you know because you are born and raised there. I hope this helps…
