Open Market Magic in Accra! 🛍️🥭🇬🇭
I had the most incredible open market shopping experience in Accra!
The highlight for me was the Ghana mangoes 🥭 - sweet, juicy, and HUGE! Couldn't resist grabbing 20kg to bring back to Lagos.
Everyone at home fought over their share! 😋
The second steal was the two paint buckets of fresh tomatoes 🍅 for just 70 Ghanaian Cedis - a fraction of what I'd pay in Lagos when tomatoes was gold.
Who knew open market shopping could be so fun and full of surprises?
Normally, I'm not a fan as it can be time-consuming and not always cost-effective. But with my fantastic shopping partner the trip to the markets of Accra was unforgettable.
Pro tip: Shopping with a local or someone who knows the market can transform your experience!
Have you ever had a memorable market experience while traveling?

I can still feel the thrill of my road trip experience from Nigeria to Benin Republic, Togo and Ghana🚗. What truly made it unforgettable were the flavors—the diverse cuisines and the street food. Each bite was a story, each meal a memory. Travel isn’t just about the places you visit, but the people you meet and the food you share.
Visiting Cotonou, Benin Republic
The Amazons of Dahomey Kingdom
Cotonou’s legendary amazons of the Dahomey Kingdom
The Amazons of Dahomey Kingdom
The beauty in your backyard - Cotonou, Benin Republic.
Behold one of the prides of Benin Republic – the towering hundred-foot statue of Queen Tassi Hangbe, honoring the legendary Amazons of the Dahomey Kingdom.
These fierce women warriors, known as the Agojie, formed an all-female regiment that defended their kingdom with unmatched bravery. They defied the patriarchal norms of their time, becoming powerful symbols of strength and resilience.
Women have always been key players in shaping world history, and they deserve to be celebrated far more than they are.
Seeing this monumental statue in Cotonou was awe-inspiring, especially after watching ‘The Woman King’ movie—it’s a powerful reminder of the incredible impact women have made throughout history.

Street food offers a unique culinary experience!
Do you ever tantalize your taste buds with street food adventures when you visit a new place?
KENKE – Is crafted from corn and wrapped in corn leaves, it is served with zesty pepper sauce and fish.
The slightly sour taste of the corn meal reminiscent of ‘pap’ adds a twist, but it is the black pepper sauce that steals the show, it elevates the dish to a different height. Super Delicious!
JOLLOF RICE - Our beloved staple across Africa. It is no surprise we found this on the streets of of Cotonou. It is quite enjoyable but doesn’t quite match up to Nigeria’s iconic Jollof Rice – trust me, I’m a connoisseur!
I did not have enough time in Cotonou to try more than 2 dishes but will definitely try more on my next visit!
