Deaconess Abokoma recently moved to Accra from Takoradi to access more opportunities as a content creator.

The Ghanaian TikToker is known for his hilarious impressions of women and his collaborations with his colleague Akonoba.

Even though moving to Accra has brought him closer to endless brand opportunities, it has also brought new challenges for the TikTok star.

In a recent interview, Abokoma lamented his inability to close brand deals due to his location.

"Interested brands will call you asking for a meeting so we can do business. Whenever I tell them we're in Accra, they never call back."

Speaking to blogger Zionfelix, he recounted his first moments in Accra, which he described as overly expensive.

He established that accommodation prices for modest apartments were absurdly higher than what he was familiar with in Sekondi Takoradi.

This has forced Abokoma to 'perch' with a friend in the meantime.
