I have many many African American friends in Ghana and I am so disgusted by their complaints during our conversations so much so that sometimes I feel like throwing up. I have always said Ghana is not a country that's because even Nkrumah continued the dictatorial behaviour of the White man who created Ghana. The leaders in Africa are even worse than the slave masters during the colonial era. They are corrupt and brutal to their own people, employ live-in houseboys and private drivers like the colonial masters and do whatever they like with the nations money. They are consumed with power and ego and threatens anybody who challenges their crude behaviour and labeling them as villagers. Such is the stupid behaviour of our so called leaders. African Americans also complain about people treating them as whites from a far away land. Ghanaians, especially in Accra are so uncivilized, they call anyone who differs from them a villager because they don't know much. Even the President himself sometimes exhibits this kind of uncivilized behaviour, like Yentie Obiaa, what the fuck is that?

Think gyan, think.
The lesson is yours gyan.
Regarding A.A. females, very few black African countries will want you to return as non-married women. Africa (anti-single women) has always been about family, extended family AND polygamy. So if you return, you must fall in line. In such a case, even having more income than the locals will not even help you over time.
All of black Africa is corrupt. Tired of Ghana, you have over 30 other black African countries to move to. But I think the results will be the same.
Off the record or law books, Ghana folks never see anyone as a true Ghanaian unless 3 generations of your bloodline has been born in Ghana. Such is the unspoken word.
PS: Ironically, you returning A.A. folks probably like Vodou even more than the 'brain-washed on pale-faced religions' local majority??? Know what you are up against in Ghana, A.A. folks. It is the number ONE country in West Africa worshiping a white male character as the son of God. So you are already surrounded by still colonized mindsets.
"Know-thy-self".
PSS: Is this part a face..."Some African Americans who have traced their ancestry to Ghana..."? If so, then adjusting into Ghanaian life should not be so difficult?
As I have done so and will retire from the US back to Ghana but will live among my extended family, clan and ethnic group plus spend time down at my deity's shrine.
When I return, I will have very deep pockets and own land in several countries(passive income). So what is the problem? I prepare myself for Africa BEFORE I return to it. I don't think enough A.A. folks do such? Am I correct A.A. folks in Ghana? As I will be able to live any place on Earth I want...except muslim-led countries!!! LOL but true.
Thank you

African-Americans should read carefully this random sample of how they are REALLY viewed by Ghanians.
YOU WERE ORIGINALLY SENT FROM THERE ON SLAVE SHIPS AS CARGO/CHATTEL. YOU REALLY THINK YOU'LL BE GENUINELY WELCOMED BACK WITH A DIFFERENT MINDSET.
Tribalism is Ghanian's daily bread, and here you are going to Ghana looking for an utopian way of life. As an African-American, you're already viewed as a different "tribe"; and for sure with no current tangible roots or ties.
Successful African-Americans may holiday in Ghana but one should be astute enough to observe the people and culture of Ghana and develop an understanding of both after several visits. To relocate to Ghana, without SUBSTANTIAL funds may prove disheartening. You will need quite a bit of financial flexibility and independence to live well in Ghana, make no mistake; and YES, that include bribes.
At a certain age, one must be financially sound and that being a given, you are going to have to navigate through the culture you live in. GOOD, GOOD, GOOD FRIENDS in Ghana will be your greatest asset and saving grace. Preferably, someone who has visited and lived with you in the United States several times. THEY THEN BECOME YOUR FAMILY IN GHANA. When they are also established and successful, it makes for a wonderful relationship.
Also, I think no one should go to Ghana searching for the same social/political/economic systems (good or bad) they left behind. I guess you can realize the same standard of living in Ghana but it won't be inexpensive.

Ghana is full of thieves who are really interested in you because of your purse and how they can use strategies to milk the money from you via their funny stories.

But, you'll get it sooner or later when you least expect it.
And that's when you are either blown away in a hail of hot irons- Amadu Diallo, or a handle of a broom stuck in your ass. When that happens and lucky to be alive- still among the living -the Rev would organize a protest march over the Brooklyn Bridge on your behalf chanting the war cry " no justice no peace."
Osei, you are an African - American, but learn it's true meaning and embrace it, warts and all.

It is most unfortunate that these our brothers and sisters who are still regarded in their own country United States of America which with all fact available is the most corrupt nation on Earth are calling Ghana a corrupt nation. These are people who are regarded by their own fellow white citizens to be animals less animal than their dogs, who are being used as shooting range. They are seen as dying horses who must be shot in the U.S. Has the people of Ghana through some ruse usurp power without responsibility in any country. Acquiring citizenship of a country takes time and the same applies to the U.S. No one is granted a citizenship of a country upon his or her arrival at the airport of a country. Our brothers and sisters from the U.S. coming to Africa should know that Africans have long stopped living in top tree before the white man arrived. We had societies with laws and not the jungle law that the U.S. applies.

Well, well, well. This is the true bane of Africa. Nothing really works and yet we have demented and semi illiterates acting as a president and Ministers of State using our meager resources 'looking' for investors. This is a country where uneducated people become politicians to enrich themselves. In Ghana, Immigration and custom officials are able to put up a storey building the first year they are employed. Ghana is a true mess. Simply put, we cannot think, reason or sort through basic issues affecting our country. Just take a critical look at our president. Can anything really good come out of him? Seeing anyone at the Ministries to sort out your issues won't get you anywhere. All they will think about while there is to say the 'magic' word..DOLLAR, and they will react. Simply put, modern dogs are even smarter than some of those guys representing us. Tragic!

Shameless Ghanaian. Don't feel for this elderly African Americans, some who may be coming with their dollars to invest.
Let me see them again. Who invited them to Ghana at all? Ghana is not America so if they don't feel like staying in Ghana, afterall they are Americans. Fuck them
We American taxpayers send millions of dollars to Ghana while your corrupt government steals it. Stop begging the west if you feel that way.
Nonsense, what is the unemployment rate in America? America has its problems as well
So they should stay in their country. I don't see what contribution they are bringing to Ghana. If they have spent their entire lives in American and want to retire, they should retire to Florida or some such place.
Yes, I agree with these complaints. I am born in Ghana, I am a GA and each time I return home, these officials wants something. Bribery is a hindrance to a civilized culture. Look at Russia.
