Pay to send it now ,we have paid 5k and up to date have not gotten our barrels to this company here in Tema ..We are at our wits ...We believe no one will help us.....much to say but ...But please reply....Thank you.

When we have more African Americans telling the truth about Ghana, the government will listen and act. Don't always paint a rosy picture about Ghana.
-
Corruption in Africa is legendary. That is what is stopping so many from repatriating!
-
I appreciate that you two have the sense to understand that some discomfort will happen. Yet you're not using that as an excuse to not pursue your goal of Africa. Well done
-
When I used to visit family in Tanzania the slow pace environment used to fustrate me but now I understand that the fast paced western lifestyle that I have grown to know is why so many people suffer from stress and high cortisal level contibuting to burn out or even mental health issues in the long term.
-
I'm Ghanaian and everything you said is absolutely true and really bothers me.. especially the petty bribes, having to negotiate on most purchases, and the plastic/hygiene problem... 😤
-
I don't know if is only me.....I am Ghanaian and I think this is a great feedback there's definitely lots and lots of room for improvement (Obviously) Thanks for shearing guys.
-
In my opinion, the biggest drawback of living in Ghana is the healthcare situation. That is a life and death situation. In America, you do have access to clinics and hospitals. Even if you are poor, you can still get Medicaid. Thank you guys for your videos. Kathy you are so beautiful.
-
I am a Ghanaian and all that you have said is true and it is because of bad leadership
-
As a Ghanaian I have to say it’s refreshing to listen to you guys criticize Ghana. We’ve gotten too comfortable with all these problems as well. You guys are funny and lovely I wasn’t offended at all. Our leaders are letting us down for most part of the problems and we are also to blame for some. Enjoy Ghana because it’s your home too. Stay blessed 😊

Jamaica and other Caribbean islands has banned plastic bags. They need to do the same.
-
A persons color or origin of birth doesn't make him or her your brother. Their heart determines that.🤔✌💜
-
I hope the government listens. The corruption and bribery issues really need to be addressed. Thanks for sharing your experience.
-
As a Ghanaian living in America, I can say you guys nailed it
-
The corruption would drive me crazy!
-
I was excited thinking I’d retire to Ghana. Nope. Changed my mind!! Thanks so very very much for that crucial insight.
-
I'm Ghanaian and I love your complete honesty! All I see is others trying to give fake reviews and impressions. Ghana is not even close to being perfect! Thank you guys for this video 😊😊

Guys i live in Florida but originally from Jamaica. I have a generator for my house and when i had my business a few years back, i had a generator for my business as well. So you guys need to get power generators to use when you get power outages.
-
Finally someone in my age range giving their take.
-
Sounds like most of Africa has similiar issues, this could be Kenya too. But glad you are willing to look beyond the issues as no place is perfect. It's about finding that place that is perfect for you. And you two radiate so much positive vibes as a couple.
