On the average what is it going to cost me to take my wife and my son on a 2 weeks vacation to Ghana?

Honestly I am not really the best person to provide accurate information. I can only Google just like you. I am not based in Ghana and when I go to Ghana I have a house there so don't stay in hotels. When am a bit free I will do some research and find out the best places you can stay at and tourist attractions and approximately the cost. I may open up a thread for that specifically as quite a number of people have asked me about this.

Sorry I was not much help

Curlieweed:
Thanks. You're a class act.

Medase (Thank you)

Curlieweed:
Thanks. A lot of Nigerians are not aware that we also have matrilineal societies in Nigeria. For example, Ijaws are matrilineal.

Really? Interesting, thanks learnt something new

What a wicked man. This is really shameful and sad

This is actually a warning because even though someone is your neighbour, it does not mean they are good or have good intentions.

Am sorry to say this op but what utter nonsense

MrCork:
... NIGERIAN WOMEN R TO BLAME!!!!!

lol why are you like this?

KidStranglehold:
lol! Well if you want that keep pushing at it. Many foreign blacks make it big in America, especially Nigerians like Idris Elba.

Anyways what type of media of Black American pop culture is shown in Nigeria? I ask, because you seem to know A LOT about black celebrities from America being someone who is from Nigeria. By that I suspect Nigeria has a fast growing entertainment media.

FYI Idris Elba is not Nigerian. He is half Sierra Leone (Dad) and half Ghanaian(Mom )

Jorussia:
Please,i want to know more about the old and new Ghanaian cedi.

what do you want to know. I actually answered someone already about this same questions perhaps read through the thread

milychocs:
It is a huge national embarrassment....one of the cringe-worthy ways we have bought into the Caucasian superiority business
A huge failing
I never knew it existed until I joined Nairalnad

Forgive us, you hear?
I am sure our ancestors are not resting easy because of it
SMH

I like your thread

Thanks dear. I am glad you are enjoying the thread. Feel free to ask me anything Ghana related and I will try my best to answer it as best I can

AzontoGhost:
Trapqueen1 I think I have to come in here to help just a little bit.lolx
Matrilineal system is not practised by just the Ashantis but the Akans which is the largest ethnic group in Ghana thus far( take note: Ashanti is a sub-tribe of Akan). Apart from that, everything you typed is so on point!
and to make you know,I am a fan of your thread -)
keep it up!

Okay thanks for the help

Buchika:
@trapqueen how much will it cost a couple in us dollars to spend a week in a decent hotel in Ghana, and which city in Ghana has the best tourist attractions

Hey. Sorry for the late response. I have been a bit busy. I will do some research and get back to you but you can use Google for the meantime

iamord:
majority of the youths of today are a sorry case. It's pathetic. BTW Wo ho te sεn?

Really pathetic. Me ho y3

iamord:
smart chic. The news is not to be taken seriously

It's really sad how people just believe everything without reading properly especially when it's clearly a fake/satire article.

Captainswag225:
match maker numero uno. Lol

she's such a lovely lady

So screaming in bed now equates to being sexy and confident

Gurgle:
youre just in time

I was about to have a second ice cream

you two are cute

Captainswag225:
well it depends on the kinda business he wants to do here......nowadays 10,000 cedis wont do anything here in the capital, its not like am discouraging him but thing are quite expensive now.

This is so true.

ucheokpara100:
tnx, pls finally how much is one bedroom flat now per year in Accra and how much is shop rent then i 'll decide.

Honestly I am not sure but I can find out for you. I know that a lot of places take 2 years or a years rent in advance and the shop rent would obviously vary depending on location. I would suggest that you first pay Ghana a visit and gather your own research and then see if you will be able to manage there.

ucheokpara100:
presently no more xenophobia bt no one knows tomorow.

This is so true..I always say I would rather have peace of mind in my own country then go and suffer and be miserable in another man's country.

iamord:
TRAPQUEEN1 not all questions need answers. You are dealing with more of jobless trolls than people concerned to know more about Ghana

Okay noted. Thanks

ucheokpara100:
yea bt the fear of xenophobia will not allow any one put egg in south africa's basket.

How is the xenophobia? Is it that bad?

overhypedsteve:
do not reply that guy. He is still suffering from the post trauma disorder of seeing his fiancee on top a nigerian guy. The truth is he can never be nigerian and i can easily be ghanian by banging a beautiful ghanian girl to submission. So why is he complaining? Oxygen01 is a terrible loser, a single,jobless,depressed ghanian (Ghanians are not generally lazy)that have taken up an hate flag against Nigeria. For the above stated reason.

lol okay I see. @ the bolded

ucheokpara100:
is ghana's electricity still reliable? can one hundred million old ghana cedi get me a good business? and finally wich city can u recommend?

100 mil old Ghana cedis is about 10000 Ghana cedis now. Which is about 568892.99 naira or 2860 dollars. I won't lie to you am not sure what kind of business you may do with such an amount. Iamord and captainswag225 could you please help him out?

It depends what you want and are looking for. I would suggest Accra since it is the capital and the hub so I think that would be your best bet business wise.

Gurgle:
don't know if somebody asked you this already but why do you normally go with your mothers side

i heard if its higher in "rank" your children take their mothers name

what is the reason for this, if its true

Let me sum it up for you. Firstly not all tribes in Ghana are matrilineal. It's only the Ashanti tribe of Ghana. How this came about started from the Royal family. They believed that a mother's child is her child while a Father's child may not be his child. So by transferring wealth etc on the women's side in the royal family. The money and riches were kept in the family. Basically this was to prevent 'bastards' or children that were not really of royal blood to gain access to the royal family's wealth. Back in the day there was no such thing as DNA test etc so they did this to prevent outsiders from getting access to their riches. Well this was what I was told and I also read about it a couple of years back.

But honestly speaking it's not really a big thing, perhaps if you marry into a royal family then the whole matrilineal may be emphasized but otherwise for the most part the dad is still the head. The kids belong to both parents and you can inherit whatever your folks give to you.

OXYGEN01:
Look at this smelly idiot.For all we know you are one of the smelly foolish nigerian prostitutes in Ghana making noise here. Kwasia kwa.

Whatever dude. I don't care who you think I am or where you think I am based. Your opinion. This is my last post to you. I must say you are a disgrace to Ghanaian men. You are acting like a bush villager. Try and have some class and manners. I don't understand why a reasonable sane person would get upset about a thread I created. If you don't like it , it's not a must to comment.

OXYGEN01:
.Am not sure you are a sensible Ghanaian. Why will a Ghanaian come to this useless forum and open this kinda thread. What sensible question can this stu.pid nigerians ask? They are only good at killing and bombing themselves. NO SENSIBLE GHANAIAN WILL DO WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

Screw you. Why would a sensible Ghanaian come to this 'useless' forum and spew crap like you are doing now. FYI I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK. YOU CAN GO AND HANG YOURSELF OR BETTER YET WHY DID YOU Bother TO COMMENT ON THIS THREAD. IF you don't like Nigerians that's your issue but don't make it mine too. Leave me alone with this Bs. Kwasiasem kraa
