What people in Accra wanted help with

For diaspora visitors or returnees spending more time in Accra recently, what changes stand out the most? Community? pricing? tech? nightlife? traffic? opportunities? culture? Would love honest reflections.

This question sits inside Diasfrica's Homecoming and Culture forum, where members compare local recommendations, community habits, and practical next steps.
