As I watched the video, I noted 46 topics, areas and experiences. These are everyday experiences that you can expect from Accra, Ghana. As you also watch the video, see if you can notice the topics above. I hope to watch it again, write and expand on all of them. Below are some of the comments from viewers of the YouTube video above.

She shows the raw unfiltered news of the city center – AngelK

Ghanaians need to understand that there's a format for this channel. Just go look at her previous videos in other countries. She shows the raw unfiltered news of the city center most probably but whatever appears in it is not her own fault. Then she goes to other spots, like a city tour, then she also does street interviews etc She did same inside Lagos island, Nigeria, Harare Zimbabwe, Malawi, Congo, Guinea Bissau, her country Kenya etc...Ghana cannot be different, no insults on African Tigress or slander will be appreciated here. She's a travel vlogger, that's the difference btw her and some others.

This is the Ghana that people in the diaspora come and appreciate – Grace

If you’re a proud Ghanaian raise your hand. This is GHANA and if you’re disappointed, sorry for you. This is the Ghana that people in the diaspora come and appreciate. The white man has portrayed Africa to be a poverty ridden continent and it’s time we do justice to our continent. Ghana is a beautiful country and all that the lady has showed you here even makes GHANA beautiful the more God bless GHANA, God bless AFRICA

Also, this walk looks like Dar Es Salaam – DonJe2001

If I may, I am a black American living in Atlanta, Georgia - I think Africa is beautiful. I have visited two countries, Morocco and Tanzania. Will be going to Zanzibar, Kenya, and Benin later this year and hopefully Rwanda, South Africa, Ivory Coast and Mauritius next year. I love how every country has its own culture, language (for the most part), and way of doing things. And the same goal remains in all the nations, good people working hard to provide for their families. The places I visited have surprised me in a good way. I think all the countries in Africa can do business and trade among each other. You have every natural resource in the world - to literally create/make anything. Also, this walk looks like Dar Es Salaam, except they drive on the left and its like 93 degrees / 34 degrees every day. And just so you know, I've felt safe in every city, but everybody drives crazy - everywhere....lol. Btw - the store prices are way cheaper than here.

Nigerians are moving over there looking for salvation – Philip Tammy

The competition to make money in Nigeria is just overwhelming, no jokes. People who can’t compete tend to move to places where there’s less pressure, basically anywhere else in the world. That’s why you’ll find Nigerians all over west Africa and beyond. You’ll never see Nigerians talking about people of other nationalities living and hustling in Nigeria because no one cares if you are a foreigner or not. There are Ghanaians, Cameroonians, togolese people, and beninese people all over the place here in port harcourt but never a time have I seen a Nigerian come out to say those people are here because Nigeria is better. We Nigerians like slandering our country in public I guess that gave Ghanaians the impression that they are better. You’ll see them in their local tv and radio stations claiming Nigerians are moving over there looking for salvation, you’ll see them all over social media hyping their country, but just look at Accra. All this hype because of 2 or 3 tall buildings for our capital. Ona get mind oh.

You can be robbed even in the day – Calpurnia Jesinta

To clear the air for some foreigners here, the circle is a busy place for hustling and bustling. Not a residential area or a tourist site. This is a part of Accra where you need to be safe when walking because you can be robbed even in the day  (circle tip-toe lane)😂. I’m so glad my Ghanaian brother was teaching you the tricks here. So y’all foreigners here just relax and chill. I don’t think my fellow Ghanaians are boasting about Ghana being the most beautiful country in west Africa. Accra is big with cities like, East-Legon, cantonment, Labadi, Tema, Dzowulu, Adenta, Osu, Labone, airport residential area, kanda and many more other places make up Accra. This part of the circle isn’t the sole place of Accra. Trust me, even in other regions like, the Eastern part, Ashanti region, and the central region have beautiful sceneries. Fun fact , Westhills mall is the biggest mall in west Africa.

Because this doesn’t look like a capital city – Spiritual Soul

Ok, is this Accra or is there any other Accra. Well, I hope to see more beautiful places in Ghana. Because this doesn’t look like a capital city 🤔 my town AGBOR located in Delta state Nigeria, is way way way way way more organized than what I’m seeing here. I’m sorry i can never in my life compare this to my dear Asaba capital city of Delta state Nigeria 🇳🇬.. please Ghanaians need to travel more so they can learn more about development. Well hope to see more beautiful places in Ghana 🇬🇭 ❤ 💙 much love to my lovely people of Ghana 🇬🇭 ❤ peace ✌🏽 ❤
