Hey Tribe Today we're going on a 12-hour chaotic and fun adventure trip from Lagos Nigeria all the way to Akragala with my Nigerian friend We're going through three countries and three different borders We're going to experience everything this trip has to offer I hope you join us on this journey and enjoy it Enjoy it and take in everything around you It's fun and exciting Before we get started with the vlog if this is your first time on the channel don't forget to like comment and subscribe Come on let's go Let's go to Ghana Welcome to Ghana The Nigerian border is about an hour and a half away It's very short The road is in great condition and very peaceful This border is really fun I feel like so far it's been the most fun border on the road But yeah we're still here It's morning again and we've just arrived at the Ghana border Hi guys Hey babies Hey Tribe Welcome back to the channel Welcome today's video It's been a while I've been in Nigeria for two weeks now It's time to head back to Accra I can't wait to be back so I can give you guys back-to-back as always And finally who's going with me this time Hello She's been saying she wants to visit for a while and it's definitely just been here and there So yeah we're going to Accra We'll be in Accra today or tomorrow I don't know For the very first time I'm going to be vlogging a road trip to Accra because this time she's coming with me We're going to use the road so she can also experience a different country We thought it would be a fun trip but I didn't want to go on a road trip alone I've always wanted to do a road trip vlog But the whole process of doing it alone was like hmm But now that we're together we're going to do it We're going to try and make it fun "So we'ready I think I have just one or two weeks in Accra So we're going to make the most of it You know the way it is right " We're definitely going to make the most of it So we're going on a road trip I was thinking we'll use a company vehicle But I feel like there won't be any need for a road trip right Because it should just be straightforward So if we take the usual route that's short trips then we can go through each country and experience 1 or 2 things there before moving on This is going to be an exciting vlog I'm going to try to make it as exciting as always Anyway let me get a tripod so I can stand properly And we can chat a bit before we get started Anyway we're getting ready I feel like it's quite late in the day right So we can't get a company vehicle I think I'll have to go to different companies and ask It's because of the budget I was browsing online when I came across the term fiscal but they mentioned it's due tomorrow morning which would mean staying an extra day in Lagos But I'm not necessarily willing to spend right So we're going to use those smaller vehicles Hopefully we can get something And we'll go but we might arrive very late Also while I'm doing this I probably won't be able to do it anymore I would love for someone to join me on this Just so it doesn't get boring Because it's quite a long way So yeah if you're wondering or want to go on the trip we'll show you everything it involves But the one thing it entails is obviously your passport And since we're West Africans it's free entry for us But if you're not from West Africa and don't have an ECOAS passport you'll have to search online for Cuba's requirements As a West African all you need is your passport COVID certificate and yellow fever certificate So yeah everything's all set Let's go Another thing I always do when I'm going on a road trip even within Nigeria or Accra is I like to dress very comfortably Comfort is always my key word Be comfortable just so Because you don't know the road conditions You don't know what you'll come across You don't want to be unnecessarily cautious just to be safe Anyway just dress comfortably This is what I'm wearing I'll show you how it looks Anyway I guess I'll see you all when I get there I've already done the whole airport trip So if you haven't seen it you can check out the channel I think I have several of them in total Then you know the requirements too and how that works And then you watch the entire trip and then you get to decide what's best for you Yeah let's go Let's go I'mหรือไม่ I am full I'm excited It's going to be a fun trip This is my bag It's an Ankara bag from Zamzam At first it's just very comfortable You can take it anywhere My friend makes bags I'm sure you already know that So this is a free-to-air bag I got it for free I didn't pay for it If you want one of these you definitely should light up This house is mine I'll see you guys in a bit Bye It's been a fun thrilling exciting and tiring few weeks in Nigeria And finally it's time to get back to life in Ankara And I'm having this whole sweet and bitter feeling I'm excited because I'm returning to life in Ankara I'm going to live with the girl on her way And at the same time a little sad that I'm leaving home again Every time I'm leaving I'm like oh I'm leaving home again Then I'll go to Ankara I'll say oh I'm excited to be here It's just like that But this is going to be a fun trip I'm going to make the most of it And hopefully it will be fun and exciting for you too if you're in And also you get to know the entire process the whole road condition and how safe it is It's going to be an exciting trip basically And even more exciting because I'm going to Ghana with my best friend It's going to be fun It's going to be exciting If you're here and still watching and you haven't subscribed to the channel yet Surely go ahead and subscribe because it's going to be a fun couple of weeks with her in Ghana We're going to do a lot of things you definitely don't want to miss A lot of trips in Ghana many amazing places Therefore now let's focus on this trip And I'll see you all in a bit There is one thing I would not miss during this time is the traffic I definitely would not be missing Lagos traffic And I'm going back to Ankara traffic But Ankara traffic is nothing compared to the traffic here in Lagos Anyway went to a smaller park where they use Sienna vehicles to go to Ghana Where we can do the whole short trip It turns out you can end up there for hours We were sitting there for a long time Basically no passengers were coming They keep saying oh pay I was very lucky that I didn't have to pay We're just like okay when the vehicle is full and we're leaving then I'll pay you I just don't want you to keep me here longer than I plan to stay So we sat for a couple of hours Nothing was really happening If you're wanting to use one of those traffic routes those roadside routes going to Benin Togo Ghana Be careful don't pay first because you could end up stuck there for hours We met a couple of guys there who had been there for hours and they were just waiting Anyway I couldn't wait because as I said I didn't want to spend an extra day in Lagos So it's time to head over to Gisco Park I need to find out that the people from Gisco have something like a night bus So I think that would be fun Yeah let's go there I'm going to be excited I'm excited Night trips to Ghana We are homeless baby It's going to be fun don't go anywhere The taxi driver who has been taking us around Lagos was trying to charge me extra It's like these guys they forget that I'm Nigerian I'm a true Nigerian You can't take more money than you deserve Anyway we're doing that now We'll be done for a while and then we'll continue with our journey So we're using the Gisco bus company They have different options going to Accra They go to various African countries basically So they have the smaller buses and then they have those big Macapulu buses Igbo That one they go They treat you like that That one they go This one they go this one You know I had Calabagia One leg from Calabagia Cunning liar Wherever you go they go too No no this one they go Igbo So I've heard from several people that I look like an Igbo person People usually just assume I'm Igbo They see me And now here I am telling this one that I'm an Igbo girl and he's telling me no I'm not Anyway I often lie about where I'm from There was a guy in the park to whom I said I'm Ugandan and then another one I told I'm from Mali And now suddenly I'm from Nigeria Boxes as well Those are much more comfortable but the smaller boxes are faster So went with the smaller boxes instead And yeah let's go get our ticket and see everything that's required Offers and their prices Like I told you I'm going to take you along on this trip so you can get to know everything it involves There's nothing hidden You're going to be seeing everything Just so you'll be more prepared in case you want to embark on this journey Whenever in the future So yeah let's go get our ticket and go Love had me say that the Ugandan case is a far one As I said there are different vehicles going to different countries So you can get vehicles going to virtually all these West African countries here Yeah let's go get our ticket We went to the ticket counter and they said with the passport it's 53 000 Naira Then if you are using a regular ID card that identifies you as West African you pay 48 000 Naira I don't understand why traveling with your passport is so much more expensive than without it Even the Ghanaians returning home who had their own Ghana card paid less than us Nigerians with Nigerian passports So they basically said we'll have to pay more because we're traveling with your passport I don't understand the reasoning behind it but that's basically what occurred So our transport cost 53 000 Naira each But then what you can travel with here is either your passport or a valid ID card that can identify you as a West African Because you can access any West African country as a West African with a valid ID card That's your NIA your Ghana card or whatever card you use in your country Because the NIA is the Nigerian identification card and then the Ghana card Any one you have basically If you're not from either country you can go and check what you need for that But yeah this is where it is We've gotten our tickets Now it's about@Bean an exciting day It might be tiring though But let's see how it goes Hopefully there's no traffic to the border because there's usually a lot of traffic in Lagos So let's see how it goes It was time to board Before boarding you basically have to take your bag for inspection They will open the bag and check it to make sure there's no prohibited items inside Nothing that will delay us at any border or get anyone arrested So they have security agents here at the back who check your luggage to make sure nothing is forbidden Because you're traveling through various countries You're entering different countries There are many things you can't bring with you So they have to make sure there's nothing that's going to cause us any problems So your bags are thoroughly searched Just so we're on the right track It's a smooth ride And then they will ask you if you know if you have any contraband on you Like drugs anything you're not supposed to have Throw them away get rid of them Because if you get you know caught anywhere along the way you'll be left there Because we're not going to sit there and wait for you to sort your issues out So make sure you're clean if you're traveling I think you know what to do with all of that There are many things you can't bring with you And if you're carrying goods you should make sure you're carrying them as well Of course storms and everything else on the way Yeah just be prepared for it usked with baggage inspection And finally we' re boarded And it's about to be a little tour I don't know why I'm excited I know this is a tiring trip I'm just really excited to see the countryside Different countries See the Benin countryside The Togo countryside And of course the Ghanaian countryside But yeah let's go So before we boarded we had to get water drinks and anything we could chew on Because there are many different ways for you to get here Because it's a long trip You don't want to be in a place where you can't access water But obviously you can get along the way But we don't know how far we can get versus where we can't So we intend to be well prepared for the trip And we go And if I'm traveling I really don't like eating food So I like eating snacks Gala I'm Nigerian I'm so Nigerian Gala We are two hours late now No we never reach two hours We don't mind It gives us nice time We left the park by 9pm Because it was a night trip And two hours late we parked Trying to refuel the vehicles Before we leave the Nigerian countryside That's all across the Nigerian border Because well that's better It's usually cheaper in Nigeria than in other African countries Rida was making sure the tank was filled Then if you want to take it easy you can If you want to buy anything you can So we just parked at a gas station Somewhere along the Badragwi road Leading to the border Yeah Then we get on with it We are two hours late We are very close to the border now Let's go So we arrived at the Nigerian border around midnight Yeah we got our passport stamped Customs and Immigration is different All the security is top-notch Then we cross over to the Benin side of the border We did the same thing And then now we are just back Waiting for people to buy anything they want to get And then we get on So it's three hours into the day It's midnight We just crossed into Benin We crossed over from the Nigerian side to the Benin Republic side I'm so tired I feel like I need to sleep Yeah We are just waiting for people to exchange currency If you want to buy anything you can buy anything We will do some exercise Then we get to work Yeah It's 12am Look at my face I don't get black eyeliner It's stressful Anyway I'll see you all See how tired I am It's only three hours into the journey You won't believe how energetic I was It's going to be exciting It' s going to be a fun experience Three hours into the first border And I'm so tired It took about three hours to get from Maitu to the Nigerian border That's quite a distance And there was no traffic I think with traffic it will take longer than that Without traffic it took us about three hours We left the park by 9pm We reached the Nigerian border by 3pm By 12pm Three hours It's a lot of things I'm so tired Second stop Lakonji border That is the border between the Republic of Benin and Togo It took us less than two hours to get from the Nigerian border That's the semi border To the Lakonji border That's two hours We were inside Benin for about two hours Driving through Benin for two hours And now we are at Lakonji We are crossing over to Togo And then on to the Ghanaian border We are just stopping by So we can fill the vehicle Even if you want to take a break If you want to buy anything Exchange currency It's actually advisable to exchange money at the Ghanaian border If you are going to Ghana Because that way you can directly go to Ghanaian cities From whatever currency you have But if you are coming from Ghana to Nigeria You can stop anywhere you want Second border The border between the Republic of Benin and Togo We made a quick stop Before we continue From the Nigerian border This border is about an hour and thirty minutes It's very short The road is very good This border is really fun So far it's been the most fun border On the road We're still here The face is tired But the lighting is very great At Lakonji you can buy anything you want to buy There is a lot of food here Drinks Tea That's the situation Shame on the dance One thing the driver of this vehicle was doing Was basically keeping us For hours He would just park the vehicle And Pipeline would disappear Later you will find the reason Why we get to Ghana He would just keep us for an hour At each border Doing what I don't know That's why the journey is getting this long The journey between borders is very short The long stop Is becoming quite frustrating I will see you guys in a bit It's so busy here This was around 3 am We have been here for a while now It's around 3 am The brawl is so busy A lot of vehicles coming and going Going from each direction A lot of people here A lot of traders They are selling their goods Fresh food It's a lot of things It's been the most fun and busy border so far We have not crossed over to the Togo axis yet I guess I will see you guys when we cross over to the Togo axis And then on to the next border Togo It's morning again We just arrived at the Ghana border We had to make a stop at the border They took my information My fingerprint My international passport They just had to go through the whole process again I had to get stamped into the country With my fingerprint and all that It's beautiful I didn't know Ghana could be this secure It's very beautiful We are heading back to our bus now See you all in a bit Of all the borders the Ghanaian border is the most chaotic and touristy They are so chaotic They had to take our fingerprints Take a photo of us They got the whole immigration process They were just street They were not totally unfair I feel like that's how they run the border But then this border is the most open one we've crossed so far Then we crossed over to the other side We had to take our luggage to the customs office Here at the Aflao border That's after you complete immigration You take your own luggage to the customs office So they can go through everything I think this is one of the reasons why at the park The transportation company insists on checking your luggage before you board So we took our luggage down to the customs office here And then they were searched thoroughly You open the luggage for them They searched everything So there' s no way you can enter this country Enter Ghana with any contraband Or anything you are not supposed to do So be aware of that Be careful about that And then were done We started waiting for our driver It was around 6am We have been here since the Alakondi border To the Aflao border It took less than 3 hours Then we stopped on the way We have been here for over an hour now We finished with immigration And customs And now we are waiting for our driver to do whatever he is doing Because this guy with us at the park is really cool And he vanished So it's about 6 a m now And we have been on this journey We have been on this journey for about 9 hours We are nowhere close to our car yet It is a lot of things It has been really tiring But it is the next morning I guess I'll see you all when our driver finally shows up 12 hours It is not yet 12 hours I think it is about 10 hours Imagine being on the road for 10 hours I don't think it's worth it It's not worth it It's better to have more fun 12 hours 10 hours And we're basically still in Aflao So we will still have a couple of hours Hopefully the roads will be free this morning Welcome to Ghana I am sitting in your bed I am a homeless child We will refine our estimate I promise we'll make a good guess Oh my goodness I think I am ready to go home I might still not be able to sleep Maybe I'll just go back home So food for the ass Unless food for the donkey The baby girl is back I am here The baby girl is here Without doing this it will be like a journey A journey is not really long at all It takes less than four hours from border to border But the number of hours it will keep you It is a difficult one So it's getting to election time in Ghana so there are a lot of political rallies we go to Ghana on Saturday Morning yeah so there are a lot of rallies along the way the live band party and just you know Campaigning for different candidates was basically fun but it was a sight for sore eyes We've been traveling for quite a while now so it was a good break to see this When you could you were always overthinking every little step you would take As we grew older you couldn't stop tying yourself into way too many knots just relax So we're in the voter region of Ghana which is basically one of my favorite regions If you've been on my channel for a while you already know that I love voter and I love the The countryside is so beautiful and getting to see it again is totally refreshing I'm really enjoying it It's been so stressful but this is a sight for sore eyes basically I jus Love driving to the Ghana countryside feeling the calmness and getting to see different lives e way of life in the villages how they run the smaller towns and cities there's a lot of things I think along the way here there are lots of resorts when you get to Segakope yeah I think We're going to pass through Segakope soon Yeah I'll see you guys in a bit I hope you're Enjoying this vlog If you're here you're still watching — you haven't subscribed yet Don't forget to subscribe like and comment I'll see you guys in a minute So after the border that's on the way from Aflalo to Akordeon there's a lot of security Posts along the way there's police army immigration customs like a lot of them Security talk so your documents will go through they will have to go through a lot of documents You go through your belongings many times to make sure no contraband is getting e country and to make sure your documents and papers are all in order and intac It's really grueling but very thorough a lot of things but I think that's how borders work Usually are but at times I think the last major stop we made was at Segakope that's like the final The immigration check so imagine from Aflalo to Segakope there's the immigration yeah anyway After that we're going to join the accordion so this is me just enjoying the countryside I really Enjoy it as always don't forget to like comment and subscribe See you guys in Acro The fire and go follow the sun let the breeze come and drift away Can you feel the fire as you I was just sad and feeling really sleepy but basically you know driving in the The countryside brightened my mood but then I was getting peace taking because we had to make Our driver was so irresponsible he was also a very good driver He had this habit of stopping and leaving us stranded with nothing to do He wanted to do so there was a gunny and I was sitting with him in the front vehicle basically the whole time The bus was half canvas and half people so were like half and half but the one that was Sitting in the front of the vehicle was like a Rasta you've seen in a video before So yeah he was dropping off somewhere along the road that's from the hotel and he wanted to host our driver then parked the vehicle and left with this guy to go and Host him because the guy said he wanted to host him and then we just sat in the vehicle So we started screaming "Where's the driver " so I had to go and look for him because it's really Like they just became friends on the way and then this guy says "Oh before you drop me " Call let me give you one Also I'm like okay so because we're coming down we're trying to get our A driver who was already drunk so they are there because they obviously will entertain him w food and drink before we start the trip again as you can just imagine that's why this trip It's getting so long that it took him about four hours toDirectoryName from the Aflawe border to Accra Yeah that's how long the journey was but the road was good Some parts of the road weren't too Good but it was just for a short distance because we passed through I don't know where that was We don't know the names of the towns but we passed through various towns villages and cities Anyway a lot of places took us about four hours it was really nice in this countryside again Spending a while I really totally enjoyed it like I'm so tired so in all the whole journey took aboutڡ Twelve hours and the reason our driver was basically stopping and wasting time along the road I think He needs to renew his papers again I think When you're driving you get to a point where you have to Renew your documents so were quite unlucky to be a vehicle when it was his time Like do his renewals so he will stop us at each border and then go get the proper documentatio That's why the journey took as long as it did but then it only took us about four 12-hour days To get from Nigeria that's from the Nigerian Myto station where we passed the Shizuko station o Accra town and the whole journey took us about nine hours but we got to the town Accra around 9 am yeah so that's it um that's the whole RTBU if you're here and I really hope this has been exciting and enlightening Just so you know everything As part of the journey and how tiring حتى can be and how fun it can be I'm going to try to film like it did one because I'm traveling again that's why I want to use this Watch the video again and then you'll see the midday trip This is a nice version so yeah thank you Guys thank you for watching I'll see you in the next one have a lot of fun For you guys so don't go anywhere subscribe like comment I'll see you guys maybe bye
