Ghanaian rapper, Sarkodie, couldn’t contain his excitement as he shared his love for the peace and security of his homeland, Ghana, during a recent interview on the American radio show ‘Way Up with Angela Yee’.
The celebrated artist was responding to host Angela Yee’s question about the recent influx of visitors to Ghana.
Angela pointed out that many people from abroad had been travelling to Ghana lately, and she wondered if Sarkodie had observed this trend [in reference to last year].
“People did go to Ghana though. We were just talking about that. Were you there?,” she asked.
With a smile, Sarkodie enthusiastically replied, “Yeah, because every Christmas I have one of the biggest shows in Ghana, so I have to be there. It’s a beautiful spot to come to… if you want peace and security-wise, if you don’t want to care about walking out at night and nobody bothering you, that’s Ghana.”
The rapper went on to praise his Ghana’s peaceful atmosphere, highlighting how it provides a sense of security to both locals and visitors. He also emphasized the warm hospitality that Ghanaians extend to those coming from other parts of the world.
“Ghana is extremely peaceful, beautiful, and we love people coming from elsewhere to our country. We really know how to host,” Sarkodie added with pride.
The interview also touched on the trend of individuals from abroad acquiring properties in Ghana and choosing to stay in the country, captivated by its serene environment.
Sarkodie mentioned that many people, especially during the Christmas season, find themselves reluctant to leave Ghana due to the incredible peace and tranquillity they experience there.
“A lot of your people are still staying there they don’t want to come back since Christmas you know they bought properties out there, and they don’t want to come back because the peace out there is crazy,” he said.
As Ghana continues to attract international attention as a prime tourist destination, Sarkodie’s passionate endorsement of his homeland further amplifies the country’s appeal to potential visitors.
The rapper’s affectionate portrayal of Ghana’s peaceful nature and warm reception serves as a glowing testament to the nation’s reputation as a hospitable and safe place to explore and enjoy.
With Ghana increasingly capturing the hearts of both locals and foreigners alike, the future looks bright for the country’s tourism and hospitality sectors.
As Sarkodie aptly summed up, “the peace in Ghana is crazy,” and that allure is drawing people from around the globe to experience its charm first-hand.
