Hi Guys, I really enjoy your vlogs on YouTube. I know that you guys are closer to Accra but I would like to know if you have any information to share regarding Kumasi. There is said to be government issued land available there for Afro-American from the diaspora but how to attain it seems elusive. If you guys have any information about this would be very helpful.
Sincerely,
Renee (from Chi-town)
Tony and Ayo, I watched your video about finding a place. Have you visited some of the sites that have rental etc in Ghana? Try meqasa.com, and tonaton.com etc. As for Tony’s grass…hahaha he may have to break the ground to plant grass. (j/k) Get a basketball hoop for the boys and then take them to the park when they want to play some ball.
Anyway, good luck with your finding.
Akwasi (Virginia, but hope to come back home soon)
