Ghana

[QUOTE=Mozam;1987420]Rich, powerful discreet men will fly her out, deck her out in nice stuff and then send her back home. Since the advent of iG, girls (like in the case of Uchemba) can rack up a bunch of followers, claim to be a 'fitness instructor', 'aspiring model' 'club promoter' etc, and essentially artificially inflate the value of their services to the naive. This trend is spread to W. Africa as well but hasn't caught as big of flames due to lack of industry and access. In clubs, lounges, beer gardens and even at stores. Best bet is to scope out a semi-pro get a 'girlfriend" that will provide for occasional donations. Hope that helps.[/QUOTE]The attitudes of these "models" usually sucks! The bed performance translates to foul sex for the average guy! Agree, better to get a regular girl that appreciates you to some capacity at least. Translates to a GFE. I hate fucking pretty women!

Got the George shakedown last night. Me and my Cameroon girl started at shsisha. Then the strip place. Then ended the night at Firefly. Pretty dead night as its a Wednesday.

So I have driver for the night. Get 2 minutes out of Firefly and police blockade. Get out of car sir. Get out of car ms Cameroon. Do you have drugs? Let me check your pockets. The lord is looking down on me because I ate my Viagra in Firefly. That would have been nightmare if they found a blue pill in the plastic bag in my pocket. I wouldn't take V or see out to the clubs.

They check Cameroons purse and wanted her to go to car to look at it. She said no fu. Way. I am not. They backed down. Then my driver said I knew her and she is my girlfriend. The police then says call her. I call she answers and the cops said get in car. We were on out way.

So it looks like you are not allowed to have a prostitute in the cab with you. Is this the new president policy? Take separate cabs maybe? Worth the extra 10 bucks. If you do have a girl you just picked up make sure you have her number in your phone and play the girlfriend route.

I hate this shakedown crap. Part of Africa you live with I guess.

Gentlemen,

Though this is my first post, I am not new to mongering. But despite having been around a number of places, I found the information in this Ghana forum extremely helpful (I read back over 100 pages down to the year 2009! I still have a few questions, but will post these in a separate entry. Let me use my first post to share some information which I hope will help other Gentlemen.

Labadi beach. Heaven and Nightmare.

The day of my arrival in Ghana (Wednesday- 3 days ago) I checked in the hotel and immediately went to Labadi beach. I was a bit put off by the very loud music of all those different bars at the entrance, so decided to walk along the beach towards three smaller bars separated from the big bar and restaurant area (walking left when you get to the beach). It was quieter here, just what I had been looking for, and hardly any guests. No guys selling stuff, but also no girls. After an hour, it was just getting dark around 7 pm, a slim Liberian girl approached me and asked straight forward if I wanted to fuck her. I asked how much, and after starting negotiations at 200 Cedi we settled for 50 for short time (yes, 50 cedi is possible even in a hooker place such as Labadi beach).

The bars were closing down by now, and it turns out that the guys at he last bar have a room they rent out. Fine for me, I thought, so I negotiated for 20 Cedis for the room with the guy. Was proud of myself that I had gotten such a good deal. Until I saw the "room". Gentlemen, I have had sexual intercourse in a number of lousy places, but this turns out to be a room without a roof. So we were in this "room", no bed, just a few plastic chairs, and looking at the stars, and this girl starting working on me. It was really a bit surreal, but I started enjoying it. Which is when the nightmare started: I finished, pulled out, and saw that the condom had ripped. I nearly freaked out. Gave her the 50 cedi, plus another 20 extra.

What calmed me down a bit was that (a) also the girl was extremely worried and (b) she did not only have condoms herself, but also carried female condoms to be protected if customers insist on bareback. This seemed that she was aware about risks and she was taking care about herself.

After the deed was done, we sat for one more drink with those rasta guys which hang around at that last bar (seems they were friends of the watchman), when suddenly the police turned up and went into the same back "room" where I had just busted the condom. The girl told me that the owner was settling some deal with the police, but I only thought how lucky we were that the police hadn't arrived 20 minutes earlier. Probably they could have not done anything (it is not illegal to have sex! But it would have been embarrassing having been caught with the pants down.

The girl and I left, with one of the guys, and they escorted me back to the main beach area where we I paid them a drink.

Post exposure prophylaxis.

The condom thing bothered me, so the next day I went to a clinic to get post exposure medication. I would very much advise anybody who has had a similar issue with a condom, or otherwise believes that there might have been exposure to the HI Virus, to take PEP medication. See for instance [URL]https://www.aids.gov/hiv-aids-basics/prevention/reduce-your-risk/post-exposure-prophylaxis/[/URL] for more information. PEP might not be 100% effective, but if it can reduce the risk it is work the side effects. I am on the third day of medication now, and didn't have any major problems so far (only yesterday evening a bit nauseated). The doc also prescribed additional medication against nausea.

Calabash.

Yesterday evening I tried the famous calabash. It has been written that it is not for the faint of heart, and I agree that a newbie monger might not want the Calabash as the first mongering experience. Arriving from Oxford street at Danqua circle, take the first exit right. After about 200 meters on the left side of the street you will see a Total petrol station. The Calabash is directly after the petrol station, also on the left hand side. The advantage of that setting is that there is a lot of light coming from the petrol station, which makes you feel safer. I entered the green hut, which is a very loud, small bar with a small dance floor. Ordered my drink, and already a girl waved to me. Went to her, agreed on the price (50 Cedi, which she had suggested. I didn't even negotiate), and she said there were rooms in another small hut behind calabash. 10 Cedi for short time. To my surprise, she said she didn't have any money and if I could pay the room and then give here the remaining 40 Cedis after we finish. So it was 50 with the room included.

Well, we are all different, and I get more excited by these seedy type of places than by top class escort services, so I came rather quickly. Which was good, because they already knocked on the door to say the time was over. I guess we didn't have more than 15 minutes in the room. Gave her 40 Cedis, she nicely asked me if I could buy her one more beer, and I left.

A few comments on Calabash:

- Rooms are very simple. No bathroom, no shower, only a mattress and a fan.

- The girl later mentioned that there are other facilities close by, for 15 Cedis, with water buckets and not so tight time restrictions. Has anybody tried these? I had the impression they were in walking distance.

- I didn't take any pics of my girl, and had I done so, I would not post them here. I would feel too ashamed. Probably a 2 on this forum's scale form 1 to 10. Belly, big saggy tits, ugly face. But hell, you cannot get a Mercedes for the price of a skoda!

- There were around 10 girls hanging around outside the calabash. They will approach you, don't worry. Most have seen better days, but there was one who looked cute. But Calabash is definitely not for those looking for style.

- The bar girl told me they open at 6 pm and stay open until next morning. I specifically asked if there ever was trouble and if it was safe for me to come here, and she said they never had any trouble.

As stated in my previous post, I have a specific question regarding accommodation (and yes, I have RTFF). I will be in Accra for nine months, and am looking for a place to stay. Now, the ideal setting would be the following (I am totally aware that not all this can be had at the same time):

- Small apartment, ideally with some room or cleaning service included. Balcony and / or nice backyard would be good (but not the Ghanaian concrete backyards).

- Access to a pool would be nice, but not a must.

- I know this is probably impossible due to the stupid layout of Accra, but is there a place with view of the ocean?

- I don't need to live in Osu, I can find my action myself (but of course if you know of interesting options in Osu that would be fine).

- areas such as Cantonments, Roman Ridke, East Legon would be good locations for me due to work. But other areas would also be fine if overall the place is very nice (again: Seaview would be a reason to take something outside the areas mentioned above).

Does anybody here know of any interesting options, or can tell me how best to find accommodation here? A long term hotel stay is also an option, if a good deal can be negotiated.

If any of you guys are here in Ghana please send me a PM. I just got to Osu area of Accra yesterday. Could really use a wing here or just someone to have a few beers with.

[QUOTE=ChrisP;1973808]LaParadise Inn was good when I visited a couple of years back. Nice food, and very close to Jokers (and of course girl-friendly with no hassle or extra charges). You can catch a bus to Cape Coast from Accra bus station which is very cheap and quite good (a big modern bus, not a matatu type thing) and I assume to Lome as well. There's always a lot of waiting around for these, as you'd expect, so you might want to take a taxi. The owners of Laparadise can help you out there.

I'd be interested to hear from you or anyone else about Oasis Beach resort in cape coast. Looking at its Tripadvisor it says it has big parties there, especially at weekends. Semipros, pros, fun girls, horny voluntourists, stuck up NGO types. Would be good to know what sort of crowd.[/QUOTE]Back in USA after my trip. I had a really good time in Ghana. Really friendly people overall. Felt very safe.

Oasis review to give back to the board.

Arrrived in Cape Coast after 4 days in Takoradi. Takorodi was not bad. Really not much there. It is an oil town as they say. Stayed at Stella Lodge for 4 nights. LOVED Stella. Felt like I was back in USA at a 3 star hotel. Nice. And the sports bar is really cool. Guess they built the whole complex during oil boom. They are hurting now with price of oil. The place was no where near full. But damn nice water pressure and bed and big TV. Sweet. Met my Liberian wifey at Vienna City. She turned out really GFE and nice booty. Haha.

So I digress. On to Oasis. Took cab there and arrived at Oasis Beach Resort in Cape Coast. Awesome location right on beach. You see slave castle there and huge Atlantic waves. I loved Cape Coast. Right out of a movie. Going back in time. The town is old school and cool vibe.

If you go to Oasis get the rooms with ocean view. They are not cheap but for 90 USD you are looking out at ocean hearing waves crashing. You aint getting that in Hawaii. Haha.

First night I was there solo. I went down to open bar area and it was pretty dead. I arrived on a Wednesday. I wasnt totally in mood to get laid but WTF. My cab driver and security guard called a few girls and an Ivory Coast girl showed up in about an hour. She was not bad. Decent body but you could tell not a high end working girl. She was from Ivory Coast. She said she wanted to be my boyfreind and have babies within an hour. Crack me up. Sex was OK but not great. She tapped out.

Second through third nights my Liberian wifey came into town. The open bar area only gets going on Fridays and Saturdays. So Friday after doing tours me and the wifey hung out at Oasis at night. The crowd was ALL young white girls in their low 20's. LOL. There were not any mongers that I could see other than me. LOL. So the scene was Cape Coast guys flirting with the white girls. There were zero free lance working girls. I think a couple of Ghana guys might of made some money. LOL. But yeah its a NGO volunteer type crowd.

I never made it out to the other hotels at night to check those scenes out. But there is not really a monger scene as far as I could tell. Takordai at Vienna City there was 10-15 working girls on weekends. During week not much.

But I definietly recommend going to Cape Coast to check out the slave castles and the jungle walk above forest. Check out the Ostrich farm on way back. Ostriches are so cool.

I think Ghaha is one and done country for me but I had a great trip.

I've been in Accra last couple weeks but will head to Gambia this coming Wednesday. Anyone there from the forum let me know by PM. We can meet up and exchange notes.

Will report on it later after my full trip is complete. So far, Accra has been so-so. I'm kinda shy so it's not so easy for me to approach regular girls and the vibe I get is that it takes some time and patience. There's not much if any exotic factor to being white here and just smiling at girls is not enough. I think you have to full on approach them without them giving any initial signs of interest and try your luck. As for Jokers, I met a few there but I'm not so much into the hardcore types so the amount of enjoyment I can get from that is limited.

I'm hoping Banjul Gambia will be easier to quickly attract regular girls who I find attractive. I'm into those with bigger hips (pear shape) and not too short. I know they are not as abundant there as say Nigeria but there still should be some. Heck, even SE Asia, especially Thailand, has some of my type.

Expect 1000- 1500 per month us dollars for furnished and centrally located nice apartments for short term rentals. It should include utilities.

Unfurnished and on in the center can be found for as little as 80 us dollars per month utilities not included.

Most agencies charge a fee for a showing of the accommodation and also an agency fee for rentals. Ask beforehand.

Keep your eyes open, negotiate and don't get taken for a ride.

(If needed I can connect you with people who can help you in negotiation. But no guarantee for their availability- and they charge a small fee).

[QUOTE=RomanGuy;1959097]Great meeting point Lapaz.

Close to the trotro station on George Bush High Street plenty of bars and clubs in the night. Girls from the neighbourhood who are not able to reach Osu or Labadi stop in Lapaz.

I will always remember with pleasure this night in September.[/QUOTE]My Italian friend. You were in my neighborhood. I stay at Lapaz by the market, if I knew, I would have bought you a drink or two.

[QUOTE=EuropeanMan;1945443]What room did you book?

Did you book on the website? In case did you click on to add extra persons during the booking process (+10 $) ?

Here the link.

[URL]http://www.inn.niagarahotelsaccra.com/reservation[/URL][/QUOTE]If I recall (and I am 99% sure that I do recall) correctly, this is a hotel by the Circle full of hookers and drugs. You can smell weed before you even go in and it looks as is really 'seedy'.

[QUOTE=TheGreek;2005955]My Italian friend. You were in my neighborhood. I stay at Lapaz by the market, if I knew, I would have bought you a drink or two.[/QUOTE]In that time I didn't know about your presence there.

I will certainly communicate you my next arrival to Accra.

Do you live there steady?

I was in a club on the main road, in another one with an Italian name (I don't remember) in a secondary street, and can not forget a wine shop with wood barrels full of drunk girls shouting.

Niagara is the big complex directly on the main road and in its cellar there is the club Kahuna. Niagara Hotel is Lebanese.

The hotel that you mean is probably another one (I don't remember the name) on the alleyway from the Niagara newly redenominated as Paradise St. , where hookers are on duty 7/24 and use it as back office.

The problem of Niagara is IMO the price, to high for what it offers and the vicinity.
Anyway it is as the majority of the places in GH totally GF Hotel.

I personally find this site useful to book -at least the 1st night accommodation and then go around the 2nd day and look for something close to my liking.

Remember that:

1. There is good hotel accommodation tat is not to be found in any website. So you need legwork.

2. Bargaining / negotiating a price, especially for long stays, is a normal affair. FYI- sites like [URL]booking.com[/URL] etc make an average of a 30% commission on the price that you agree to book a room through them.

Good luck!
