She is honest. As a Ghanaian, I know everything she said is the truth. Don’t date people on the internet because a lot of people gets scammed and if you are dating a Ghanaian in Ghana, go to his parents home period.

she is really speaking facts. i am ghanaian and i was raised in ghana too. really, if he doesn’t introduce you to his family it’s a huge red flag. even a ghanaian, i’m still learning from this video. blessings and thank you for sharing ❤️💛💚

SHE DID HER BEST TO EXPLAIN THE CULTURE AM IMPRESS BUT I THINK YOU SHOULD SEE THE OLDEST PEOPLES IN GHANA TO EXPLAIN IT MORE .

very good video. as a ghanain i watch alot of diaspora who move to ghana and they make alot of mistakes , too zealous etc, and i try to warn the m but they think im a hater who doesnt want them to connect to africa and their roots etc, but sometiems they too gullible, so i like you channel because they will listen to someone who is a black american. i think you should even do a video on red flags off dating african man online . many black american women dating someoen they think they love online and dont know they just being used for money.

I’m from America and dating a Ghanaian still is Ghana! So valuable! The first thing my man did was connect me with all his family on WhatsApp and Facebook ❤️❤️❤️

She is purely smart... amazing .. she knows too much... am loving this

She speaks pure facts. I met everyone in his family but his parents. When I pressed he told me I wouldn't be accepted by his Igbo parents. I stopped wasting my time and chucked him the deuce, it hurt but I loved myself more than him

Wow, Glad You Interviewed Someone From The Diaspora Who's Been There For Decades To Really Get The Truth❣️

It's true mom...... but one thing I have to correct u on one thing. When it comes to marriage laws... when the man dies and the couple did sign courts papers around their properties, these days the court definitely hands every wealth or properties singed in the wife's & children's name... The husband's family can never take those things from you.

I have a friend who has recently become involved with a gentleman from Ghana on line. She says she is in love, but they have never met!! She needs to listen to this information and possibly speak to the wonderful Sister you interviewed. I think she should take it a little slower just to make sure she is making the right decision. Thanks so much!

I really appreciate this video and the honest...she kept it real. She gave an excellent interview. Good source of information. I could listen to her all day. Good job!

maybe do a video on " how to know if you are financially ready to move from america to africa" or " 10 things you need to do as a black american before moving to africa " theres a lady that posted in one of the year of return group chats who is a black american living in thailand and she wants to mmve to ghana permantly next month, and she has never been to ghana before. i couldnt beleive it. so i had to advise her a ghanaian that i dont think its a smart decision to do , i recommend at least someone visit for about 3 months or something.

I am Nigerian (Igbo) and it’s all the same culture. My fam members have been intermarrying with Ghanaians for well over a century actually. The traditional (customary) marriage is very important in many African cultures I know about. Children is very important, everything she said is facts! Love this my diaspora sister, she knows her stuff o! 😁

We have gotten questions by Diasporans concerning this very subject. The Empress in this video has great information for them. I will definitely refer them to your video. Thanks again Ny's Corner. Another great video!

This is a really important topic thanks for sharing

Alway let the family know, not only the parent but also the HEAD of the family of the person you are dating in Ghana and your child will have everything he/she is entitled to in Ghana never leave the head of the family out. The Akans call him Abusua payin. Other tribes have their own name for this guy. He is normally the oldest male member of the family, he takes care of the family properties including lands. Families can number from thousands and more, some less.

Great interview sis but as someone who is part of the Ghanaian diaspora (british born Ghanaian) i’m yet to come across another british born Ghanaian who doesn’t want to have a traditional Ghanaian wedding (what Aunty in the video is referring to as a customary wedding). I’d love to meet someone who doesn’t want one, it would be interesting to understand why

I see African customs are the same in a lot of African countries

I’m getting Married in Ghana in July it will be a traditional Ghanaian wedding!! But I’ve enjoyed watching this very informative he’s already informed me of a lot of this.

Have watched lot of bloggers but I think u got the gift for what u doing and I pray and hope u blow up big time cos u doing super great

I really enjoyed the interview

Marriages in Ghana is a family thing because none of the couples can decide on divorce without the families consent. The families always step in to solve any problem that arises in the marriage but if you marry on the street then you lose all the intervention rights.

I have two dear friends (African American women) like myself who years ago married Ghanaian men who were in the US to attend Bible college. Both of them found out later that their husbands had wives and families in Ghana!

Your videos are very very educative. Thank you

Is important that you have good rapport with the family. Even when your spouse died, you still have your properties. Family is Very very important in Ghana. The sister is also right about all the stuff said. Know the family you’re married to!!!!!. If the guy doesn’t introduce you to his mom and dad vice versa, run away!! America, we can marry without our parents knowing, that it doesn’t happen in Ghana.

Love it. The family has to approve. They love you the most.

This was interesting and awesome thanks, i am new to your channel I saw you on Wode Maya last station great interview!!!

I loved this🇬🇭 I just learned soo much🤞🏾thanku 4keeping it 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🇬🇭

And sometimes too, the woman (if from the Diaspora) must stand strong and fight for what she deserves or has earned with their deceased husband.... And this law or rules apply across all the Ghanaian cultures....If the deceased husband did put his mediate wife & children's name on his properties, his extended family may try n fight it, but the wife fight can earned her n her children those inheritances...and this rule works for both a Diasporan wife or Ghanaian wofe... they go through same issues as well - not only the woman from America or from outside....👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿✌🏿👌🏿

This was so informative!

Dear NY thank you for the info that you put out about Ghana keep up the good work.

Fantastic interview! 😇👍🔥

This all sounds so biblical. I see kinsman redeemer all throughout this. These people are doing scriptural customs. I'm speechless.

But you can't introduce everyone to family unless the talk it is about marriage. Africans don't want to see boyfriends and girlfriends but someone you will marry

Awesome video. Amazing host.

Ddaanngg this was useful. I want to settle down and marry in ghana. I don't even have children yet and I'm 36. I am still in pursuit to become a citizen in 🇬🇭. Currently in Texas in the U.S.A.. I am currently dating someone online from ghana...it feels like it's real though...idk

Great information, you are doing an amazing job connecting the Diaspora with our African brothers and sisters. Keep going and keep growing lil sis!

The thing about tribes is not fully correct. My dad is Ewe and my mum is Akuapem. My aunt married a Fanti. My cousin married a Hausa. There are lots of intermarriages. I don't know maybe it's because I don't live in Ghana.

I"m a Diasporan and I'm dating a Ghanian woman, and this video helped me to the max, So now I'm getting two wives to marry, Oh wow, I can't wait.

BANNER OF THE DAY!!! You are responsible for your decisions. Check your hormones, take a deep breath and allow a good amount of oxygen to flow through your brains. That romantic feeling you develop when you haven't met someone in person is not serendipidity, it is marginal stupidity. In Ghana, tradition is "THICK" in the villages and gets "DILUTED" as you get into the big cities. However, the influence of family tradition is everywhere. So YES, meeting the family (or a family member) is a good indication of where you stand. With the language barrier, how about an agreement that english is spoken when around the Ghanaian family? Family calls are very common with Ghanaians. It's ok to put general conversations on speaker so that everyone feels a part of it. It removes the suspicion when you have to excuse yourself and take the call in private. #bridgethegap #Pollinate

In terms of inheritance of property when someone died, It depends on the ethnic group. The Ashantis inheritance of property is through matrimonial and the Ewes is through paternal.

There are wills that can be written by law, but the problem is the wills are not general enforced. But the custom rights are more enforced compared to the wills drafted in court

Good interview. With the cold hard facts. I was born to Ghanaian parents and grew up in the UK. I did a couple years of high school and some college in Ghana and then moved to the US. My advise to Diasporeans on this Ghana marriage issue is to stay away from it. You have no clue of the culture and mentality that govern over there. The Ghana women think they have no options that is why they put up with it. Finding a happily married Ghana woman is actually rare. For them its not the happiness, it is the status of being married and having children that they care about. What bothers me is that all the assetts and work you put in the marriage etc is for somebody else to assess and even benefit from. Even with the recent legal changes women and children are routinely evicted and dispossessed upon divorce or death of a spouse. Inability to have kids is an automatic Polygamy situation or divorce. Even without that Polygamy or extra marital children is normal with zero consequences. There is no such thing as ME over there. Everybody belongs to an extended family whether you want to or not and you comply with the collective rules. That's it there is nothing else to consider. Period.

Good to know first person ever to talk about this❤❤❤❤ thanks

Thank you so much for sharing the facts. I enjoy your Channel. Pls I would like to find out some information about Ga people. How is their Culture in Accra, if you could do an interview on how they get married. Thanks in Advance

She is spot on her delivery...

In Congo it's the same. No court house wedding or church wedding If no traditional wedding

sounds like a beautiful rich culture to me

Ny, thanks for all your efforts. Your guest did her best to speak about Ghanaian marital customs, traditions, and laws and I'm sure she means well. But I'm afraid some of the things she said aren't accurate, and I think it's simply because she doesn't know or understand the norms in question. Given the importance of the subject, I suggest you find others, preferably a Ghanaian family attorney, or an educated Ghanaian elder to also address the topic. But the warning she gave to "sisters" flying to Ghana and rushing into marriage is on point! DO NOT DO IT! Why would anyone make such a life-changing commitment to a total stranger you don't know? That's too risky and foolish! Wherever anyone lives, Ghana or America, you should not marry someone you have only known online. At the very least, give yourself time to know this person - his or her values, outlook on life, character etc. It's always wise to look before you leap! Again, thanks for your enlightening videos, and I hope you take my suggestion into account. Blessings to you.

Thank you so much for this information!!!

Sounds like all of African culture.

I hope a film producer will make a great movie on our custom. Is soo beautiful

All my six siblings are married to different tribes.

Lovely interview......I love it ..❤

Akans marry Ewes regularly. My brother Akan, my cousin Akan my ex Akan. Just me alone I have or know three friends and family married to Ewes. Wasn't common but now it is. Fantes an ewes have been marrying for the longest time.

Stunning

I met a very fine Ghanaian man on online, he was rushing me to send him an invitation letter to come to American to visit at first, we agreed on him visiting but later he askes if he can just stay and not go back to Ghana. I asked him to introduce me to his family first before I sent him the invitation letter he kept postponing the days and times to connect me with his mom, so I called him out on it and stopped talking with him.

This sister is the truth...

Intermarriage are common, we marry from all tribes and religious backgrounds its no problem at all,most of what she saying is true except for that point.

Customary, does not override a Will. A Will will determine who gets what. We are matrilineal. We inherit through the mother as Akans corrected.

And you don't have to do the customary marriage it's not law. The Islamic marriage and traditional are not legally binding abroad. So if you want to travel, you need to do the court house.

If your mom or Dad dies right after the funeral you are give father or mother this is done by the Akans i don't know about the other tribes these new father or mother will play the same roll as your biological parent.

Great discussion

I am American Carribean with Ghanian roots

I came to this video just to learn what my 2 children (4 yr olds) are going to experience in the future. My ex, a mother of 4 is flying in to marry a Man from Ghana this November. I was shocked to find out after she kept it a secret from me. As far as I know, they met on the Internet, she bought her own plane ticket & wedding dress so says her friends to go do that. I assume this man will need a green card application started to eventually come to the US. Red flags as this video has pointed out. I just wanted to know what kind of life my twin sons are headed for.

This is informative and educative but why very low views?

Beautiful East Coast Woman 🔥🔥🔥and Beautiful West Coast Woman 🔥🔥🔥.

As a woman I wouldn't marry a Ghanaian what do you mean the family takes over the husband's burial when he dies hell nooo. U r truly screwed if a woman doesn't have kids with the man

Wow. Big shut out, uve done ur home work

This was insightful information. Thanks for providing this information.

Awesome to know, thank you!

Honestly, some of these norms can be done away with. All these steps!

Love this!

Thank you

Thank you beautiful

Good content..

❤

Also, Muslim men don't automatically have the right to have four wives. You can also pledge that you don't want it. It's not all Muslim men that want to four wives. There also has to be a reason why they pick another wife. It can't just be for no reason. He has to have enough money to keep those wives. Mostly men pick four wives because they feel like doing it but they don't have to do it and it's not their right to have four wives just for the sake of it.

The money, schnapps and gifts etc...it is called dowry...this is what the husband give to the wife’s family. The wife’s family can demand the amount of the dowry...

I know were mainly speaking to WOMEN, but I wish you would have spoken more to the MEN on the same subject. I am currently talking to a woman from Ghana, I'm moving there regardless, but would like to know if that same ordeal applies to men dating a Ghanaian woman. At least I know she should introduce me to her family, mainly the heads of her family. Thanks for sharing.

Truth! truth! Truth!

We are truly the children of Israel
