OK....

Buy a carton of can drinks if u do not want to spend much money in ghana.. Can drinks, bottle coke are expensive.. Though I hear bottle coke is 1cedi (300ml) at against 2cedi..

If u want to eat, buy fried rice,
Local food: ask for abeytear(like amala) with groundnut soup, or TZ with ayoyo (ewedu).. Waakye is good but because of d smell, u might hate it.. Buy Gorbe (oil beans with plantain).. Note: I am just writing their local food to the way u can pronounce them if u ask people on d street on where to buy them.. Cos u will think you have money but ghana cedi dey zap...

Learn to take trotro(danfo) and when reaching your destination, say "mesiwaa-(owa) "..

Please, drop your Nigerian dirty swag thinking nigeria is giant of Africa..

OK....

I remember wat a Ghanaian banker said to me.. She said " for the fact that our bank (zenith) is a Nigerian bank, we are not on the same platform... "

Your access bank would work for you if you have ATM card but keep in mind that students or Nigerians complained abt having difficulty receiving money thru ATM.. Due to buhari policy.. I don't know if it is OK now..

Also, if you are stranded, with access bank, u are allowed to send WU or moneygram.. Other banks, WU or moneygram were blocked.. Note: this policy cud have changed by now..

Naira seems not to have the strength it usedto but I can tell you that you need to carry much money.

If you are traveling by road, change your money in ghana border.. Don't know what the rate is now..

Getting access to cash, I have told you already.. But if you have money and business oriented.. You can buy some stuff in nigeria to sell in ghana.. You can buy a phone(infinix, iPhone 5(the finger print feature) 6, ps2,3,4.. And sell in their local market.. Even if it is 5000 naira gain, it is still "getting access to cash".. Don't just be greedy.

For hotels/guesthouse.. I stayed in kumasi.. Find guesthouse in TUC, kumasi... 80-100cedis per night. Or hotels in Suame, kumasi (there are cheaper hotels/guesthouse in suame, kumasi) though TUC is more residential but Suame is more street.. But this is Ghana, it is still partially OK. Their hotels are clean..

Buy a carton of can drinks if u do not want to spend much money in ghana.. Can drinks, bottle coke are expensive.. Though I hear bottle coke is 1cedi (300ml) at against 2cedi..

Please, drop your Nigerian dirty swag thinking nigeria is giant of Africa..

Don't carry weed.. It is a serious crime.. Even if it is a stick..

Lastly, help me tell Maa bena, akos, Ama, akua, yaa I miss them all.. To those Kwame, koffi, kwasi, kojo,... Tell them to take a chill pill.

Gerrarahia bro!!!!

360command:
are you Ga or ashanti? Anyway, I love dark skin Ghanaian girls... Just saying though... My respect to you all!!!

makydebbie:
Lol, I'm ewe.

360command:
Anyway, they say you ewes are.. ? Forget that stereotype.... Which part of ghana do u reside? Are you also nigerian? Or you ve lived in Nig for long.. Where r u.

makydebbie:
Lol, I heard what they said ewes are...
I actually like the stereotype.
I'm at Accra, I'm a Ghanaian who only grew up in Nigeria.

360command:
ok.. Good for you.. You know, when a Ghanaian having that naija experience the combo is awesome.. I am in America, I come to ghana becos of some Ghanaian friends.. It is not easy.. You have Nigeria as your home and Ghana as second home.. I heard coke bottle is 1cedi. They plan to go into production of plastic coke thereby stopping bottle production that's why its sold cheap... Is this true or nama addo made it 1 cedi.

makydebbie:
Lol, it sure is.
Having both combo is sweet with cool advantages.
Yea, the small coke bottle is now one cedi. I dont know who made it one cedi sha, my own is to buy and drink.

360command:
never liked those small cokes been sold at 1:50cedis or 2 cedis depending on your location.. I felt cheated due to d small size and never satisfying

makydebbie:
Me too, knowing you'll get it at 80 naira in Nigeria is disheartening.

Chuksmonika:
it is 100naira in Nigeria....i hope to visit Ghana soon,to have an experience of it,hopefully next year

Since there's access bank in Ghana, speak to one in Nigeria about this issue if it's possible, if you don't get any good response there, come back here and mention me. Then I'll call them to ask this your question.




When I get money from Nigeria, I go to tudu in Accra. It's only tudu I can talk about I'm sorry. Are you going to be staying in Accra? I can only talk about Accra since that's where I'm based. But you can always change at the border and please make your calculations before you go, that's if you're changing at the border. If you're not sure, you may get cheated. We've forex exchange here though.


Lol, it depends on where and what you're going to do here. Where you're staying also matters. The standard of living in Accra is very high. Carry 100k.


I've been to Paloma hotel at ring road, it was cool! I can help you get the price if you're going to stay at Accra.

I don't get this question..?



Na men be this, the only original Maky.



At your service ma'am.

gypsey:
Although i have travelled wide but i have never been to Ghana o! how ever i am sure you can use your access Debit card in any branch of access bank with no quamls! but i advice not to use your card for transactions like POS you may end up paying too much as a result of exchange rates, withdraw cash from inside Access bank or ATM and exchange at the bureau de change so you can get good Naira Value. GOOD LUCK!

Athena4:
Haha. Thank you for the advice. You sound like my brother, very straight to the point. Thank you.

Athena4:
Thank you for everything Debbie! Yes, I'm for Accra! I asked the bank guys but their service was despicable. I don't trust their answer. Pls this paloma hotel how affordable is it?
100 k? Are you sure? There are two of us o. Also, how is this Tudu every one is talking about?
I don't know where or not to stay. We want to use ABC transport from Abuja to accra. I don't know where the Terminus will be over there.

Athena4:
Oh thanks. is true though that theres a limit to withdrawals or something?

Just30:
the stereotypes made boarding school way more fun
We are so similar yet so much differences

makydebbie:
Okay dear, Accra abi? I'll call Paloma and other affordable hotels today and get back to you okay?

If you wanna bring more than 100k, please feel free. Tudu is the station you go to in Accra when you're traveling out of Ghana by road. There, you meet people who change money for you, from naira to cedis and vice-versa. But use dollars to change to cedis, it's better.

It's ABC transport I use too when I'm traveling by road or cross-country. So babe, we're good.

360command:
cross country did strong thing for me one day.. My laptop was stolen. We were told to place our bags out for ndlea to brief us.. In less that 5 mins, my bag where my laptop was got stolen.. They are thieves.. I stopped using their service.. Na plane sweet pass...

But traveling by road, I rather go to mille 2 than use ABC spending hours on the road/border post with the whole searching and stamping of passport..

I enter via mile2, I take a car going to lome. By 1pm or 2pm.. I should be in aflao border..

That time, I was a legal residence, so no sorting, no delay.. At aflao, take another car to Accra... It was fast for me... Those ABC are long thing.. What causes the delay is d numbers of people in d bus..

Chuksmonika:
it is 100naira in Nigeria....i hope to visit Ghana soon,to have an experience of it,hopefully next year

makydebbie:
Don't tell me you're ewe too?
I want to travel to Volta region for Christmas sef.
The stereotype is fun to me too, just that some people take things serious.

I'm Ahanta and mist of my friends are ewes
