Now we are not saying that the rest of the YouTube videos and channels are not good, but once you have seen several videos about visiting Bloom Bar in Accra and catching a view from the top of Skybar 25 then a car ride through the streets of Accra, there is not much else that can be said. These videos are good if you want to listen to some cool Afro beats tracks and want to get a whistle stop tour of someones 10 days in Ghana.

Stella Shanelly
Stella Shanelly is funny and very much that real Youtuber who is from Ghana who does not mind falling over in front of the camera or falling into the water. She is always smiling and full of energy. We like how she actually puts the names of the roads and places on random roaming video. She can break into Twi at any time to speak to people and fully explains back to the camera. Sometimes watching Stella you may get nervous that when she is skipping if she is going to trip.

In my opinion, Kwadwo Sheldon should be removed from the list. Whiles all the others create original content, Kwadwo Sheldon is just a graduate agenda boy who trash talks popular people, especially artistes, to get relevancy and money. His content does not add anything meaningful to society.
What about the other Ghana Youtubers to make it on this list do you need a certain level of views?
Nana Ama..should be top of this list..is this list in ranking order
Great list of Youtubers good to see that there are so many people talking about Ghana
