Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Accra accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Accra and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"Yes, there is a lot of diversity in Accra. The city is home to people from many different ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds, and people are generally accepting of differences. Accra is known for its vibrant culture and its welcoming attitude towards visitors from all walks of life," remarked another expat who made the move to Accra, Ghana.
"Yes - within the local community there are Christian (Apostles) and Islam and Expats are from around the world. There are also many Africans from other nations. Tolerance is generally very high however, there is a tendency to take advantage of Expats within Accra and they are not as welcoming and friendly as Ghanians from the country," explained one expat living in Accra, Ghana.
