the rate at which my 9ja brothers are robbing in Accra and Kasoa since the beginning of last month is just alarming. not lest than 3 robberies every week and the most annoying thing is they speak either yoruba or igbo live at the robbery scene( there are video evidences). Even that Lebanese man that was robbed and killed earlier this week at Tema was a victim of the 9ja boys cos you could hear the robbers speaking yoruba whiles shooting in the clip. this will affect the acceptance of nigerians into Ghana soonest cos a move is already in place. you need to see how soldiers are patrolling accra since on monday as if there is riot in accra.

Hmm, as for me who is a low key person , u can budget between 80-100k because to and fro with passport by road should be around 30k or thereabout. Use the remaining for hotels and feeding. U can see moderate hotels for 7k any way.

Please, z this budget current? As in, one should budget this as at now

Are you sure about this?

If that is the case, they should be arrested and dealt with ruthlessly

I had wanted to visit a place outside Nigeria to spend 5 days out of my annual vacation leave. So I decided to visit Accra Ghana by road. On that beautiful morning my younger brother had drop me at ABC transport in second rainbow along Oshodi-Apapa express way, It was exactly 6:05am, I quickly moved into the ticketing office and booked a to and fro ticket to Ghana. At this time the first bus to Accra is about to take off on their journey to Accra, so I had no choice but to go with the second bus.
My bus left at exactly 9:25am in the beautiful TV and AC tight luxurious bus, there was less distraction from the immigration, Nigeria drug law and enforcement agency and custom officers on the road as there were no contraband goods on board. We arrive Accra at the ABC park in caprice Accra at exactly 12:46am Nigerian time the following day. The journey was very smooth and interesting, only that the bus doesn't speed atall and I think they have a speed limit that they dare not exceed. Inside the bus we were served rice and chicken with bottle water for breakfast and then corn-biscuit and small pack juice for lunch.
Accra Ghana was a beautiful place to behold, the roads were neat and all road user obey traffic sign even when no police man is attached to the traffic point. I was able to lodge in an hotel with AC, wireless network and breakfast menu at a less expensive amount compare to my country Nigeria. The hotel attendant were nice and ready to perform their duties without expecting a tips from their customers.
While in Accra I visited two lovely beach, the labardi and coco beach. Saw lots pretty ebony ladies on the beach, almost tempted as some of them starring at me like a diamond ring!
Also went to Mokola market which is a colorful and bustling place, you can buy absolutely everything. Ghana has various delicacy, I tasted kenke with groundnut soup, they have a different brand of rice from ours, it's a bit gummy when u chew, I eat it with Shito (not sure if I got the spelling correct ) pepper. Mokola market is a place you can never afford to miss in Accra. Bought some kente stuff (Ghanian native attire) right there. On my fourth day in Accra, I also visited the national museum, this museum has wonderful displays about Ghana’s culture and history including the slave-trade, and Ashanti Kingdom.
Internet subscription is so cheap in Ghana compare to my country Nigeria, u can still subscribe for unlimited data which is less than 10k. That is fantastic! Isn't it?
On the fifth day, I rested in my beautiful hotel room, while getting ready to travel back to Nigeria the next day.



That was a long long journey.

Hi 'enquirer', this is to give you the most recent update. I made a trip to and fro Ghana this September, 2022. I went with ABC Transport and was charged 50k and they collected 7k extra for stamping my new passport (applies also if that's the first time you're using the passport on road route). Upon gathering more info, I came back with Cross-Country Transport and was charged 42k. Meaning, it's cheaper to travel with Cross-Country and I observed that Cross-Country seem to always have atleast 2 drivers for each trip.

Moreover, never believe anyone of the Transport companies when they tell you that they move by 6:30am. The earliest time they move is between 7:30-8:00am.

Also, Ghana (Accra) is generally peaceful. Best of luck and safe journey to you in Jesus Name!
