You can use your debit card to withdraw money from all ATM machines in Ghana, and you can do that right at the arrival after going through immigration.
Well done, brother. A Ghanaian here, and you got it all right. My people like to see more of our diasporan family coming home to help us rebuild. It is not all pomp and pageantry as advertised, but the spirit and the community leaving are palpable and unmatched. Keep going.
I am from Ghana. My opinion? You nailed it.
Excellent! You have set the standard. I first visited Ghana in 1973, as an exchange student from Kent State University to the University of Ghana, Legon. Yes, I'm African American. In 1983, I was part of the film crew that made the Ghanaian film, Kukurantumi: The Road to Accra. Since then, I have returned to Ghana 8 consecutive times. My goal now is to take 1,000 African Americans to Ghana because mere words no longer articulate nor convey the depth of the change Ghana itself will instill in any African American who has not been there. I must say once again, you have set the standard in that purpose. Thank you.
I am delighted to say no one share the stories as vivid as you do. I must say you are gem to us all. Keep it up big bro and God bless you!!!
This is one of the best videos I've watched. It shows you've experienced the intricacies of Ghana and have really experienced it. The only downside is that you spent much more time in Accra than the greater Ghana.
Regardless of where you travel to you are supposed to let your bank know so they don't block your card once they notice foreign transactions.
7:34 avoid ice cubes. That's most probably from tap water.
Well documented, well done
If you know, then you know. I must say, hmmm you really know. Great content 👌. Very informative and insightful. Well done.

This was well done my Son..One of the best Travel Information..❤ I Like This One oooo. Queen Mother..Nana Birago Asantewah
"Accra traffic is a full contact sport, and you will not win; ... it's a living organism and it doesn't follow the same rules that you know. The lanes are suggestions. The horns are second language." The brother is spot on in all 10 points; please listen to him.
I love the presentation. Good job
Very insightful. As a Ghanaian living abroad this documentary ticks all the boxes. Thank you sir
RESPECT, WELL DONE mate!!!👍👌
GOOD DOCUMENTARY .❤
