Welcome from the so-called 'no-go' area of Chrstian Village, Achimota
Jun 12 2010, 11:36 AM EDT
Christian Village snuggles the perimeter of the Achimota Golf Club. It is home to many talented golfers and co-incidentally, it has a long gay history stretching back at least 3 decades. Unfortunately the regrettable action of 5 'hijackers' in the past few years has tarnished the reputation of the village and jeopardized genuine gay relationships. Fortunately, action has been taken to 'warn off' the alleged perpetrators and in some cases find alternative employment as an apprentice, training for an honest living.It is mid June 2010 and I am enjoying my 4th week in Christian Village with my gay friend taking part in village social events and finding time to watch the World Cup events on local TV. I am not the only gay obroni in the village. Let me say at the outset that I am a great fan of the people of Christian Village. I feel totally safe day or night anywhere in the village. Of course there is poverty and great hardship as wages are generally low but the cost of living is as high as many developed countries. I have decided to do my best to promote the business and networking opportunities for friends in Christian Village by developing a Christian Village web site. Please check it out and give me your feed-back http://sites.google.com/site/cvghana/ 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

Dear Colleaguethanks for your email. I live in accra (I am European white) and find it difficult sometimes because the homophobic people. I had a problem with a man form Christian Village when I arrived. He tried to blackmali me with some friends but he could not. But then I met another person from there and now we are good friends. I have met his whole family at Christian Village and all of them are very nice. Actually I will spend 24th december at night with them. I feel safe in Christian Village and I like it. I am just curious of how can you live at Christan Village with a aprtener and not having problems with the police??? Thanks for the post Carlos Do you find this valuable? |

2. Living in Christian Village

Thanks Carlos for sharing your story. There are many wonderful people living in the village and in a place with over 2,000 residents, of course there are a few bad individuals who are known as such. If you want to know more about the village, living safely and do's and dont's then may I suggest you talk to George at the CV library. My tip is to stay faithful to your friend, avoid conversation with known trouble makers and 419'ers. Be polite, respectful and engaging with the folk you meet. Enjoy drinks with your friend at the 'countrysid'e over local board games and spend some recreation time away from the village. You should be fine as people get to know you and your relationship will be respected and defended. Have a great holiday.
