 Good morning from Aborigian Beach Resort. It's your favorite village boy Mr. Gane baby right here. It's 6.17 in the morning and I'm awake and I just want to say thank you God for today, for the gift of life but yo I've never been tired this way. It's like I've been on the road since Thursday and today is actually my last day in Keta and thanks to Aborigian Beach Resort for hosting me. Listen in my room it's 6 o'clock it's so dark and I came out and it feels like it's 8 o'clock already. Jill how are you? You're awake already? You're living at 6? That's what he told me. Who told you? We go. Hi. Hi how are you? How was your night though? You're not living at 6? I don't know what time we're living. You're living after breakfast I want to make sure you eat before you travel. So what's that number for? I don't know but breakfast is 6 o'clock. Okay. I came out here to see if we're leaving here. No we're traveling today. Okay. So after breakfast we're going to another town. Yeah we're going to the capital. Okay that's yeah. All right. Thank you. All right. So it's such a beautiful resort. First time I saw this resort was when I came to Aborigian for the first time and I was told that if you want to see the best clean nicest beaches in the whole of Ghana you have to come to the Aborigian but the first time that I came I never saw that until I visited this resort. It's so pretty. Oh my god. Look at that. Look at that. These are monkeys you know. I used to have the same monkey as a pet. Can you guys see this mark on my hand that I've done tattoo on it? It was actually caused by this monkey. Yeah I had one of these monkeys as a pet and at the end of the day the monkey was mad at me and gave me that mark and when I went to China I decided to do a tattoo on it. Please next time I don't think I'll ever keep a monkey but anytime I see a monkey like this I always miss my monkey and the name of my monkey used to be called Jackie. Hey Jackie how are you? Hello. Oh hi. Oh that's so cute. Look at the cute one. Say hello. You want to say hello? Ah come on you don't want to say hello anyway gotta go back. You know what daily routine I always love to work out these days because I feel like I'm becoming more healthier and whenever I wake up in the morning I'm so energetic because I work out. You know so it's been four days since we started traveling and I've not worked out yet and I just want to check today since the beach is right here let me just use this as an opportunity to work out before I have my breakfast so yeah before I show you more of the results come work out with me and I'll take you guys around. So this is the result and right here is the beach that's where I'm going to work out and look at my feet bro this beach is the cleanest yeah I'm working and you don't even see a single I mean later on the floor like no one is literally littering this place that's why they said that it's the cleanest but yeah um it's always feel good to be around the water or being around the ocean even though I'm the best swimmer in the whole world but I'm the only swimmer in the world that doesn't touch water if you don't understand argue with your computer but yeah and so they do fishing here man so the major occupation in here is more fishing and farming and that's what actually drives the economy in this part of Kuala I love being here I don't even know what to tell you guys it feels so therapeutic out here the serene environment so peaceful it's not so crowded like the way the main city is so crowded so if you're looking for a gateway uh what do you call it a weekend gateway choose the water origin choose our origin beach resort and come have a peaceful time especially if you are that type that always argue with your wife get out my brother get out because you need to live long get out and come and hide here for a weekend and then go back or maybe when you come with a leave a along the sea and then you can stay you know in the resort and think about yourself yeah but anyway like I told you earlier it's time to work out I'm here with um Steven he's gonna do all the shots but yeah let me just work out and um if you also work out put on your working out gears and let's work out together or if you don't love work out maybe grab a bowl of fufu a bowl of banko a bowl of rice I mean sit behind your pc and let's work out together I mean eating is also work out that's why I love food man like you see the movement of the hand then it makes your arms grow bigger the movement I'll see you all what I've done thank you this is one of the different things to do right for the past four days I've never worked out and working out today feels like I'm starting all over again come on on it don't stop stay consistent keep doing it trust God you will make thank you a good day it's time to go freshen up and continue the video want to show you what to expect whenever you come to a origin beach resort but I want to tell you something yeah the manager of this hotel is exceptional I mean she's amazing and she's no other than my own in law yo I feel like Kenyans are really good when it comes to like hospitality business I've been to so many countries where the managers of a resort or hotel are Kenyans and anytime you see a Kenyan managing your hotel or resort everything feels different I'm not saying this because I'm married to Kenyan I'm saying this based on experience yeah so I mean I know that as soon as I said this the Kenyans are like oh show us our in law your in law is in Gano and she doesn't want to go back I feel so good I have only two hours to spend in here I spent a night two hours to spend in here and I'll be on my way to her water region it's a serene region um it's it's so green in here so yeah come with me let me go freshen up and I'll talk to the manager finally refreshing up it's time to have breakfast but I love the fact that in my room there is a portrait of the beautiful Ahmad the queen from the northern part of Ghana smiling with me yeah I mean if you see that queen smiling which she was sleeping you will love to I mean have a wonderful dream yeah so it's breakfast time everyone is here eating hey my brother what's up bro you're eating without telling me man oh man you slept too good bro I slept too good why why can I sleep too good bro because you are the latest to the table I think I was the first person to wake up any different how are you I'm good you're feeling so calm this morning me very calm me very calm all the time come all the time me this is an English breakfast and meet our main man who has been taking us around exploring the beautiful Keta with us and he's actually a writer so all these books that you seen right here those are copies those are my copies yeah you can come to Keta and meet a writer without going away with all of them that's my intellectual property intellectual property what can what can we get this this is online now this is not yet online there are three orders online I have seven books to my credit okay and where can we find it one is an amazon the other one is on sella okay sella.com amazon.com the kindle he is a real ambassador of Keta because he talks about Keta with passion and I feel like if the entire country the people from the country can be ambassador of the country Ghana will not be where we are right now in terms of tourism and yo the breakfast is still coming can we have a heavy breakfast oh she's smiling I hope you have a heavy breakfast jeez man I'm a Ghanaian I don't it should give me some morning thank you I don't like showing you guys when I'm eating so I'm not a big fan of telling you oh this is egg this is chicken this is I'm sorry I've got to eat my food and I've got to tell you guys later peace out I feel like you're living one of the biggest dream of a visionary man that ever lived yes well you know that visionary man I think you have him on your shirt I have him on my shirt yes I decided to wear this shirt because the pan african dream is still alive she's my in law though yeah if I say in law definitely a Kenyan in law oh you're not my in law no yeah all brothers and sisters all Africans all Africans I mean what brought you to Ghana then well I wanted a change of scene I mean it's my dream to go to every african country and Ghana was a good place to start and when I came here I really love the people the place is amazing and so I stayed I want to know yeah um you'll hear there are so many people that will love to come in here yeah tell us what makes a burgeon beach resort unique from other resort in Ghana well for starters uh burgeons beach uh takes into account the location that it is in and it takes great advantage of that for starters the beach front property it's a very serene very pristine very clean and the people around here are very friendly so we incorporate that african hospitality into the resort offerings so when you come here you have the stylish setting of a world-class facility rooted in traditional african hospitality so that is you are home away from home but you're very very comfortable where you are I really love the architecture of how the buildings are being designed but is it a Ghanaian owned no yes it's fully Ghanaian owned and from here so the name aborigines means um it's indigenous to the area the owner is from here and he is giving back to the community and developing the place to as a way of giving back to the place where he grew up so he was born and raised in here he was born here yes and he's lived around and he wanted to come back here to the roots and establish something something like a stronghold to you know help the future generations to have something in keta what what kind of services do you provide in here so we have accommodation services we have leisure activities we have conference and meeting rooms available so we have basically when you come here you can have everything that you need so you can stay here for as a residential you can even work here because we have high speed internet so when you come if you're coming for holiday we have that covered for you if you're coming on work retreats company workshops we have that as well if you're coming for a work remotely kind of gig we have that as well so when you come here everything is sorted in here and we try as much as possible to customize every experience for all our guests so it's not one size fits all we try and cater to everybody's unique requirements and needs is it affordable to live in here it's very economical and our rates are very very competitive and it's value for money you get what you pay for fitness will you agree with me that Kenyans are very good when it comes to hospitality I think Kenya has had a long history of being in the hospitality industry and that's what I had like to put it and we have a lot of experience in the sector Ghana has a lot of potential in terms of the resources that are available to be monetized as tourist destinations where we can have people come in and just you know enjoy the place and then be get good service in terms of culinary experiences because the food here in Ghana is very unique it's very it's very african I guess I enjoy our food more than the Ugarli in the Yamachoma well you do have Ugarli here so that makes me a bit more a bit less homesick but yeah I love the variety of the food here in Ghana and the cultural traditions the dances the drumming all that incorporated you can have a very nice cultural experience when you come here to Aborigines we normally do have those events where we bring in the cultural drummers we have storytellers who come and tell stories about the place and the history of the place it's a very rich culture very dynamic story lines happening at the same time and we do do those tours for cultural involvement for people to come and know okay this is what this place is about this is the history of the place this is why this is here the indigenous species here the everything in call cases so we do do have a lot of potential here for you know tourism and I'd like to show that to everybody who would be interested in coming here and it's a worthwhile trip to make basically based on your experience in the tourism industry and the hospitality business as a whole what do you think you know Ghana can do to improve on tourism business I mean even if I don't I don't like comparison I would have asked you like what is the difference between tourism in Kenya and tourism in Ghana I don't like comparison but I'll be happy if you can tell me about it well without comparing what I'd say is the potential is there and what the country of the whole can do is recognize it because I don't think that they've actually seen it what the potential is and what this can do first of all coming here to have a very clean beach that is not crowded that is first of all a tourist attraction on its own because I know people in other countries would die to have that kind of space to be able to entertain to come and just relax on a beach that is not secular so if that is recognized they recognize the potential then the policies for maintaining and developing those resources can come into play which then adds to people appreciating the fact that yeah this is actually something that is of value and people are paying money to come and have experienced it or see it if it's a monument if it's a a fort something with historical value once those things are maintained and this policy that governs how and they're treated and maintained then the tourism industry can come up and then the hospitality industry then grows around it so you have resorts because people will need to come and stay somewhere you have restaurants because people will need to eat when they're there that's how you grow the tourism and hospitality sector in any region being an african if you had a chance to change one thing in africa what would it be I would get rid of the borders there should be no limitation to where one can go how far they can go and what they can do when they're there I think that this is one land we are all the same and we have common goals and common interests and I think being able to work together and eliminating those barriers that come into play when you're trying to do trade with someone or work somewhere else which is different from where you're from those kind of barriers they keep the place the country the continent stifled down and the growth is just not there when you have so many opportunities that you can um capitalize on like the for instance um there's no reason why I shouldn't be getting my fresh milk straight from Kenya every morning here in Ghana there's no reason why cocoa shouldn't be quickly taken to Kenya and somebody doing a milk chocolate yeah without all those taxes and barriers that come into play when you're trying to uh get things done so if we could just eliminate and make it one um one country I think that would be very beneficial I know that the youth of Africa are really yearning for this and I believe that it's definitely going to happen I mean this is why I said that common krumah was visionary a seer a prophet if the leaders those days listen to this man wouldn't have been suffering right now but I believe that the time is coming the revolution has already started and very soon you'll work from here to Kenya I hope so without passport and visa thank you so much for watching I will see you all in the next one peace out the work that I do is that I meet my audience everywhere and um he was even watching my video when I met him hi how are you doing I'm doing fantastic it's good to see you this is all mine you that's what am I right I've been coming here for over 22 plus year I am running away from both the virus although I have been vaccinated I'm one of those who decided to do so so don't hold it against me um I also uh let's say running from the cold weather so I'm here on a work vacation this place has a fantastic uh wi-fi system so I'm logging on their system as well as my own to get my work done so for those of you who don't realize that uh the world is never going to return to pre-pandemic time a lot of people will be working from their homes doing their work virtually which is basically what I'm doing now but uh I'm happy it's uh for all of those who may see this in this us around January February it is uh about 80 85 degrees right now you can see I'm sweating a little bit I'm wearing shorts in February with flip flops so you all eat the heart out that's one of the advantages coming to Ghana during the winter months in the states what is what is that one thing that you love about being in Ghana the people the people are friendly I feel uh obviously uh uh my genes uh connects with uh this country this continent and I just love it you know uh every year around this time I plan to be if not in this country at least on this continent and eight times out of ten I'll probably stop here first before I head anywhere else all right I want to say thank you so much for talking to me and thank you so much for watching my videos you know really I appreciate you you're welcome and continue the the great work you are doing and uh letting the world see uh Africa in its positive light there's so much you can do here the people are friendly fortunately for those of us who only speak one language minds just happen to be English and most people I would say most people in Ghana speak English so you can get along and get around uh good thank you thank you thank you so much I'm heading out and I'm going to see you okay over the time thank you now I'm really going to be watching the video so see you thank you so I got in here and I was just walking around and I can hear my voice in here and realized that he was actually watching me and I had to just pop in and just go and say hello so yeah um I had a very good time at our origin beach resort I really had um a great time it's so beautiful serene environment reception wise was amazing and I believe that if you want to have um a special time a quiet time with friends and family choose nowhere but our origin beach resort get out of a crowd you know go spend your money out of a crowd because whatever money that is spending here is going back to the community is going back to uh an African man's pocket that is what I believe in because the owner of this place is an African indigenous from here secondly the people that work here are all from here so creating employment for his own people which I think it's amazing that um an indigenous man is doing this for his own people don't forget to like the video subscribe and be part of the awesome family and I'll see you all in the next one I am Maya
