We appear to love those people who have a bit of a foreign accent. I’m not talking about the fake accents o!
It explains why a lot of people are madly in love with Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr., known popularly as Shatta Wale.

However, some Ghanaians have foreign accents, original accents, resulting from where they spent their youth. Let us take a look at some of them.

Her foreign-based lifestyle is evident in the manner in which she posts semi-nude pictures. Efia Odo? Andrea said she got that name because she was born on Friday and that she genuinely loves people. She has made a lot of posts about altruism.
