13343006, JUST got back from Accra yesterday. It's a lovely place!

In the last year I've been to Nigeria (Lagos), South Africa, and now Ghana. Accra is definitely welcoming and easy to get around, especially compared to Lagos.

I actually knew nothing about the whole Year of Return thing until I got there; several people were asking if that's why I was there. But I went for a tech conference.

I'm a dual citizen of US/Nigeria so I can't speak to the repatriation thing, but I am very proud of holding citizenship in Nigeria. My passport covers Ghana (all ECOWAS countries) so I didn't even need a visa for entry.

I'd return to Accra in a heartbeat. Uber is reliable there and the currency is 5:1 with USD so you can most things for fairly cheap prices.

Let me know if there's any questions you have and I'll try my best!
