She added that the local Ghanaian dishes are healthier and cheaper compared to other places around the world.

"The food here is healthier. If you eat a lot more of the local food, it's more affordable and healthier. I've lost quite a lot of weight staying here in Ghana."

Her third reason was directed at businesspeople. She encouraged them to relocate and do business in Ghana.

"If you are a business person, you can come here and start a business. You will thrive. There are so many millionaires here in Ghana."
"The fourth reason is that it can be affordable if you come with some money and are ready to invest, and you find a really good location," NeeNee Wright added.

The Ghanaian-American businesswoman said the fifth reason was her favourite part of moving back to Ghana. NeeNee Wright said the weather was good all year.

"The weather is my favourite part. It is always summer here, or for the most part. It does have its rainy season, but the weather is beautiful."
