I love this because I'm Jamaican too, I've notice that whenever I meet up with a Ghanaian it becomes very easy to communicate with, and its because we are similar in many ways. When the Ghanaian were kidnapped, and arrived in Jamaica as slaves. Our great, great, great, great, grand mother and father came with the wonderful culture of Ghana, and have passed it on to us. Long live Ghana and Jamaica. My favorite football team in the world is the Black Star. 1❤

I'm a Ghanaian living in the USA. I lived in Brooklyn for many years and worked with Jamaicans. The speech pattern of Jamaicans is very similar to the Akan Twi language of Ghana. For example, in Akan Twi, we say "me se" meaning "I say" and the Jamaicans would say "me say". Also, I heard my Jamaican friends talked about "Ananse" just as the Akan folklore "Anansesem". The similarities of our people are incredibly fascinating. By the way, according to historical records, most of the ships that sailed from the Cape Coast castle with African captives ended up in Jamaica before sailing on the mainland USA (American colonies in those days). And, I'm not sure if it's historically accurate that the name Jamaica was coined by the Akan captives that ended up on the island of Jamaica by saying in Akan Twi, "gya ma ya ka ha" meaning, "we are stuck here" and won't be shipped to the other islands or the mainland USA.

I am a Trinidadian and I absolutely love what you had to say about the separatist mindset that a lot of our Afro- Caribbean people have. We are one people, just as Ghanaians, Nigerians, Gambians, Congolese etc are one people. You are so, so right about so many of the points you made about the similarities between Ghana and the Caribbean! I visited Ghana two years ago and everything felt so familiar to me. It was so easy for me to connect with people and blend in with the culture. I have NEVER, EVER felt that way living here in the US. There are so many ways that the Ghanaian women gesture, or some of the expressions they would say that remind me of my own aunties in Trinidad. I have seen so many people that look sooo much like people I knew back home too. Another thing I love about Ghana was the accessibility to coconut vendors on the streets! OMG! I can't tell you how much I miss that! I remember when my friend and I used to go exercising back in Trinidad, we would always stop for coconut water from the street vendors afterward and sometimes even for roast corn, or corn soup. OMG, I need to stop because I'm salivating right now, lol. You are also right about the school uniforms. Children (both primary and secondary/high school) absolutely wear school uniforms in Trinidad, which I really like. I don't like the way that children are allowed to wear any old thing they want here in the US. Many of them look WAY too grown and it also creates a hierarchy in those early years based on the clothes that their parents can afford to buy them. Children should not be exposed to that sort of thing that young. I feel that it is very damaging to their developing self worth. That being said, I think you are giving your child an amazing gift by raising her in Ghana! Thank you so much for making this video🙏🏽. I really enjoyed it.😊

For your number 10, an African American who’s lived in Ghana for over 20yrs explained it very well for me. He said, the reason why Africans don’t usually adhere to time is because, we have the sun ☀️is up everyday throughout the year, unlike the western world where they have the sun for just 3 months in a year. For us if we can’t do something today, we can do it tomorrow or the day after or next or next month. It’s a stress free climate. Unlike in the west where there’s darkness and cold and so people have to do things at specific times

I went to Nigeria 5 years ago, and must tell you everything said in this video the similarities with Nigeria and Jamaica are mind blowing, especially the Calabar area and Igbo lands. West Africa is just our ancestors homelands.

You are absolutely right on. I have been visiting Jamaica since 2001 and it is my second home. I recently celebrated my 60th birthday in Negril. Respect and guidance!

Have travelled west Africa and the Caribbean islands outside Jamaica and the similarities are overwhelming.

Love my green banana, dumplings, yellow yam, Ackee and Salt fish..🎉🎉🎉❤

Ghanaian🇬🇭 and my wife is Jamaican🇯🇲

The actual name for Jamaica is the Twi word, "Gyama yaka," which our Asante ancestors said to themselves when they couldn't escape during slavery. In English, it means "we are (probably) stuck." The Whites couldn't pronounce it that's why it's now Jamaica. You can check out the similarities between the flags of the Asante Kingdom and Jamaica. Blessings😊

I am Ghanaian and agree with you 100%. Excellent video. Gh and Jca one family.

Great video. Welcome home 🇬🇭🇯🇲♥️🙏

Nice things to know. Thank God you have seen so many similarities between Ghana and Jamaica. Now you can feel free to come back home and contribute to the building of Africa for the respect of our race.

One love ❤❤❤🇬🇭

Happy for you guys, hope to be there soon 🎉

Smile on my face.❤❤❤

Hey my brother and sister I a loving your videos. Be remembered that the jamaican slongs were use by our African unsisters to communicate to each other by not allowing the slave masters to ever understand what they are saying so I think it still lives on today

Very True, I just came back from Jamaica 🇯🇲, everything they do is like Ghana

I love it am Ghanaian🇬🇭 but live in the States🇺🇸and you guys are absolutely right all my Jamaican friends say Jamaicans are Ghanaians for real good job guys

Thanks for sharing. I am in Jamaica and making plans to relocate too.

I heard you are at the Ewe land, volta region in the house, where in the Volta are you guys, i wish you could vlog more local contests about Volta.

30% of Jamaican language is made of Akan. In the Maroons areas it's about 50 - 70% Akan.

Mi soon come over guys

The reason why we embrace Ghana a lot is not only because of nanny but because Ghanaians are naturally laid back . Jamaicans and Nigerians have similarities in attitude, behaviour and don’t lack tenacity. “ Thief don’t like to see thief with long bag “

Watching you 2 this Sunday morning in the UK makes me wanna jump on a plane. It's nice seeing how happy we can be in Ghana.❤❤❤

The yellow yam in Jamaica is just like a yam in Ghana called Akwa, they are both yellow and the texture and taste are about same.

I’m not surprised by the similarities as Jamaicans are from Ghana predominantly ✨⚡️👑

Congratulation ,You're one of the few diaspora learning to speak Ewe language, you are " nye bro" , meaning my brother.

Where in Jamaica are you guys from, and how did you reach Ghana, I am in Jamaica born and bread in St Mary , have a bless day I am proud of you guys.

"Etso, mia dogo" is Ewe for "Tomorrow, we will meet" so in that sense it is not the same as Patois usage of "go" which you were right is similar to Pidgin English usage of "go". Good video and I pray you guys thrive in Ghana.

We are one

Patio is a combination of West African, Portuguese, and English!! People from the west, like Sav or Mobay like to say deh! Like “ one pair a shoes deh sell.

Yes them yams are my favorite I’m coming love yellow and Renta and St vencent . Everything is just like we say and do in Jamaica we find we ppl . I noticed Johnkonoos dancing over there with the same music .

Yes boss East Indian mango, Julie mango Bombay mango, Black mango, Sweety- Come- bruch- me mango Theirs a whole lot of mangoes l haven't named

So many similarly

Hey hey I'm Jamaican to and I really love to meet you guys honestly I want to come to Ghana to meet you guys personally ASAP trust me my name is Kenny and I live in Toronto Canada so I would really like to meet you guys I'm thinking of relocating to Ghana

14:46 it's funny because when I say I'm on my way, there's a high chance I'm getting ready lol so I find that pretty funny

In the volta reegion coconut is cooked with it

Blessings and honour king and queen

Your video keep me laughing to myself,blood is thicker than water

Charming couple.

Greetings beloved, grace and peace be with your family. I Ms there a way to contact you directly?

Great information! We a Jamaican in the USA thinking were to relocate, to Ghana or Jamaica. I love the mangoes, ackee and the food. I am actually thinking about visiting the volta region to see if I will like it there. I am still doing my research on Ghana. Do you have information about available land lfor sale for farming in the volta region. My family and I will be there soon. We are trying to connect with other Jamaicans.

Wooow am from East Africa and you just reminded me when I was a kid my grandmother mother used to tell us not to pour water outside at night because of some weird beliefs also she would slap the shit out of you if you were caught sweeping the house at night because of similar beliefs

Walk good!

Talking about look alike, the rasta guy look like Ghanaian dancehall artist Jupiter. Check Jupiter picture with his

First time here and i like the comparisons...as a Ghanaian who have lived in mobay some years ago, i can confirm that we have more varieties of white yam than in jamaica...we do have yellow yam and different varieties of it.. Also the white yam in Ghana especially "puna and labrekor"are very tasty and better than the regular white yam in Jamaica..theres no comparison and i would like you to try it...the white yams most people eat in Ghana is different from the ones in jamaica....also we dont cook green bananas in Ghana, rather its green plantains called "apim" or "apentum" that looks like the jamaican green bananas but they are plantains not bananas. dukunu in jamaica actually came from Ghana, Ananse stories also came from Ghana.l Nanny of the maroons whos portrait is on the $500 jamaican bill also came from Ghana...We are one people thats why when you go to maroon town you will see names of maroon ancestors such as kwame, kofi, Quafie Cudjoe, etc...The culture is the same as you said...we are one race and one people...i wish Ghanaians learn how to prepare and eat breadfruit and ackee with salt fish which i love dearly.....great content and hope you enjoy your stay...bigup n blessings from NY.

The lady really looks like a Ghanaian.

Just like unu is a word from the Ibo tribe of Nigeria. Our history tells it all that our brothers and sisters are mostly from the western coast of Africa …

The yellow yam in Ghana we call it Ankeni. It's very much sweet and nice yam.

The word ginnal is from the twi word gyinaa and it means trickster or some say silly person or a con man. These are the meanings i have found. You can ask a Ghanaian what gyinaa means to be sure.

me ye ma va..as gonna come back

Look like #BlueMt behind you.

Wantt to visit Ghana 🇬🇭 🇯🇲

😂🤣 @ number 10

My Ancestors well call

That rooster 🐓 was a paid actor😂

The rooster is a paid actor 😂😂😂

Some time we throw water at night we say exscuse mi family because we dont want to be attack by the Spirit

Hi I am Jamaican, live in the UK, however I've met a woman on line. She has invited me to Ghana, she live in Kumasi, should I take the trip..

The yellow yam ankani is Twi. It is more expensive than the ubiquitous white yams.

100%

You missed dokunu, Nyankopon,

Go to Togo Benin and Nigeria, its the same thing in Black Africa.

Achee, Bisi, Nane, Nana,

Well well guys if you think you love Ghana then just wait till hopefully end of the year cos my ancestors are calling me to come home and most definitely coming by grace of Most High YAHUAH willing. You may wish to know I was born in Cape Coast which makes me a F ante and came to London age 19 years, Let the record show the bulk of slavery which took place involving Cape Coast, Elmina and Os u castle were mainly place called Kromantin , English and Dutch Komenda, Anomabu, Salt pond, Assin Manso , Northern plains and Salaga not to mention local wars between the Ga and Ashanti, Fantes and Ashanti s which took the slave trade to next level. There's lots to tell you guys but time is limited. The Maroons whether in Suriname or Jamaica are mainly Fantes from Kromantin in Central region. The people from Guyana are predominantly Fantes from Anomabu/ Salt pond again in Central region, Love to talk to you guys while you are touring Ghana. This is Nash from London.

How is it living in Ghana, is it expensive? Can you make a living of farming and what is it like to buy land. I know I am asking a lot of questions but any information you share would be greatly appreciated.

Love this! oh my God! I alway want to know what tribe am from in previous african. The most bless and spiritual place on earth. My ancestor spirit burns in me for african. The slave used to sing in the islands, Cum by YAH mi Lord, cum by YAH, oh lord cum by YAH. In proper English. It means come by YAH my Lord come by Lord.

The food came on the slave ships from Ghana hence the similarities

There is actually a place called Jamaica in Aburi in the Easton region.

The party notion is the same,ghanaian say they want to avoid too much talking and introduction and the food thing so is the same

I am curious. Do they use the word "Afu" for yam like we do in Jamaica. As in white afu. That sounds more Nigerian.

Believe it or not. I think our ancestor in Africa and all over the world, where they took the slave are beckoning us to african or to think about Africa. .

The west African coast as a lot similar with the Caribbean not Ghana and Jamaica alone . Travel and you will see and feel the same way .

Is Ackee and Breadfruit in Ghana?.

How can I get land

Have you ever heard of afu lucy ❤️🇯🇲
