Cost of Living in Accra

We moved to Accra last year due to the cheap rentals but we should've done much more research before we moved. It's normal to pay one or two years rent upfront which put a dent in our money once we arrived.90% of rentals don't have any furniture refrigerator stove or A/C which we needed to purchase.If you move to a different dwelling you can take everything with you.Be leary of bogus real-estate companies offering places for rent.Inspect the dwelling very carefully and take pictures of areas of damage. But overall deposits are rarely returned by landlords. It gets very hot in Accra so A/C is necessary. Traffic is another issue due to the population. Many people leave home 3 to 5 hours early for work otherwise traffic is bumper to bumper.Coming home from work expect it to take atleast 3 hours depending upon which part of the city you're traveling from. The people are very nice and understanding but even they complain about the horrible traffic which is understandable.We moved to Kumasi after our lease ended. The roads are better structured and Kumasi has around 600,000 fewer people than Accra.

Good day

I am currently residing in Namibia and would like to immigrate / move to Ghana. Can somebody please assist me on how to find a job in Ghana. I do not have any degrees, but have experience in office administration.

Has anyone spoken to a girl name Cynthia Bansah from Accra Ghana?

To Anonymous post April 5. Ghanaians have problems eating three meals per day is a big lie because I stayed in Accra for two weeks on vacation and I saw different.What really needs to happen is for other countries to black out the internet in Ghana so scammers like you go away.

Hi guys, I read every comment on here and realized most people are been scammed even though there is so much information on this. The said Linda Bans looks and smells like a scammer, what is she, a private investigator or works with the police.
You guys don't know the problems we have here in Ghana, people struggle to eat, the world system makes it difficult for ordinary Ghanaians to get three square meals a day. I have lived here my whole life and I can attest to that fact.
There are very intelligent young men and women who still cannot feed after all the smartness and so what do they do with it? They use it to scam and engage in fraudulent activities. When a man is hungry all morals will be thrown out, because the basic need of a man is self survival. I am not holding brief for them or justifying this behavior, but if you can understand why they do this, then we can find ways of helping out, that is if you truly have any interest in helping and not just exploiting like the western world has done to Africans for centuries.

I am an Enteprenuer with extermely good ideas but who is going to provide the capital for my dream to be achieved? If I ask any of you our there to help me you will just brush it off, but then will follow the rainbow looking for a pot of gold here in Africa.
I can offer 20% in my business, I need help to develop a merchant app like no other ever created, something different from Ebay, Amazon and Alibaba, if you have an interest send me an email on prince.opopoku@gmail.com, you really want to make a difference let us do business, there are lots of ladies and able men here who will fall for you without asking for money first or exploit you.
come and lets do business together, register a company together, do business together and make profits together. Africa cant develop without investment in the right sectors, I have the ideas, bring your ideas and lets see how to get it off, I promise you you will never regret it.

Without help this ideas will remain in my head and situation remain the same.\
Thank you.

I lived in Accra Ghana for 3 months with a guy I met off the internet. I can tell you that most of them want 1. Money and 2. to come to the United States. It is extremely difficult to get them a visa to come here. We have been working on this 3 years. When renting a place they want payment of two years in advance. An average sandwich fries and a Coke cost about 40 cedi which is about 10$ us money. it's a nice place for a third world country but beware that medical is all on a cash and carry basis. You must pay before seen. Electric is a pre paid service. The people are very humble but without the scams they have going on they can not survive

He's claiming to be a helicopter pilot in Ghana .He sent me pictures and he even sent me a video of him naked in shower.Their all the same person.He had him home he supposedly owns in florida on facebook so i took afdress and googled directions once i told him he deleted his account.Who can I contact about this scam

Again I almost fell victim to same romance scam. I have sent thousands already and was about to send lose my home. I was saved by Linda’s secret investigator and her team. They saved my valuable money. Their professional background check investigators can determine if the person or company is real and legitimate. their private investigators and detective service are strictly confidential and client data is always protected. Oh they do not charge for their service. they might be able to help you too. email above
