I went to Ghana on official duty and came back safely and l think l need to add one or two things.

The flight from Lagos to Accra is 40 minutes and Ghana is one hour behind us. At the point of entry (airport), you are require to present a yellow card. Most Nigerians has fake yellow card (They pay #1500 naira in Nigeria to somebody without taking the immunization and they know), they will ask you to do another one at their airport which will cost 7,000 naira or you tip them grin. At the point of entry, they asked what do l come for and l responded l came for conference and they stamped my passport.

CURRENCY: At the airport, #1000 naira= 10 Cedes. Naira is very poor. We can see what Jubrin has caused grin.

ATM MACHINE
I could not withdraw from ATM machine despite using mastercard and verve card. I tried on GTB_ATM, Access, fildelity etc I was later informed I supposed to inform my back before l left Nigeria about the duration of my trip but l thank God, the hotel POS works.


ACCRA to TAKORADI.

ACCRA is fine and Ghanaians are friendly. In fact Ghana and Lagos look alike. their road, soil profile, roofing of their houses, electric pole, selling inside traffic etc. We traveled from Accra by road and the journey took us 4 hours. We met some checking point and they stopped us once accusing the driver of overtaking Truck while on bend grin. I laughed in 3D because this is a normal in Nigeria. They diver bribed like our police brother in Nigeria. Also they carry AK 47 not like Europe where police officer uses Pistol.


TAKORADI
The environment is sparsely populated not congested like Lagos. Good vegetation,Good road, friendly people. Fluent in spoken English and Light is stable. They have their local language (either Asanti or Kumasi is a common language) but Ghanians are friendly and peace loving people (Nothing like he is Afonja, Flant-head or Aboki cheesy). The driver told us Nigerians are many in Ghana and we saw a lot of them in local market and traffic hurzzling. The story had changed, no more Ghana must go grin.
CARTEEN
I used POS for Breakfast and dinner in the hotel. I patronized local vendor (like mama calabar shop for lunch). The only food l understand is fufu with goat meat which cost 10 cedes.

Sincerely l would have love to relocate to Takoradi Ghana but when l told my wife she said "Laye, Laye baby mi ko jo grin". I left yesterday to NIgeria and l really enjoy my stay. Pls don't mind typo error.
Nice. piece bro,i've really been looking for who will feed me with the living condition and siyuation of tjings in takoradi,hope things are not that expenive there o

Ghanians have a unified language on every region... Even if you go to the bank or any corporate place... They talk to you in TWI.. Which is about a language every Ghanian understands despite where you come from... Language made Ghana more unifying

Ok , I didn't know that there is a West African country that still respects their indigenous languages. I usually see the likes of the guy you quoted who seem to think it's bad for Africans to use their own languages cheesy. Nigerians though cry.

Lol, the people of the EC enjoy basic amenities that the average shytgerian could only dream of and that's a fact.you can't compare infrastructure of EC cities and towns to anything in Nigeria . The good government of South Africa is addressing the issues faced by the 4 previously neglected provinces by pumping more funds to them , but tell me what are your lazy criminals leaders doing to address your issues? grin they are taking that oil money to the Queen's door grin. Both the citizens and " leaders" have an escapee mind .

Very True. The only comment i have seen here with a 100 percent truth. The language barrier surprises me, and to think they are an English speaking country. They speak Twi a lot, so much that some adulrs can't even express themselves well in English. Their children included. You go to some shops and you'll have a hard time buying what you came for.

I don't say the whole population has this problem, but a significant number of the populace can't communicate well in English.

And the government and the media isn't helping matters. Almost every channel and programs on their local TV station is in Twi. Even the zee world movies and soaps have been turned to Twi.

LOL this comment is contrary to what your signature implies.It's ironic how you could free a thousand slaves yet couldn't free yourself.

LOL I agree to an extent though.Being unable to communicate with a group of people feels worse than being deaf and dumb.You'll just have to adapt and learn their language.Anyway twi isn't that hard to learn. Better yet, you can consult Ed sheeran for tutorials. grin grin
