A young Ghanaian man travelled to a place in the Eastern Region where the land is selling for much lower than it is sold in Accra and other developed cities in Ghana.
The young man said that due to the price of the land, some younger people own pieces of it and use it for farming.

He indicated that residents in the said town are mainly farmers who engage in cassava and cocoa farming.
In his video on X, the young man showed a cocoa farm they were walking through to their destination and described what he could see at the time.
The young man said the cocoa crops had grown beautifully, and he felt like owning land in that area.
He encouraged other people living in the top Ghanaian cities to think of investing in land in such areas.
He indicated that the place is called Asuokaw-Odumase, a farming community near Asamankese in the Eastern Region.
He described the place as one where land is affordable and useful for agricultural purposes.
"One plot of land here in Asuokaw-Odumase costs GH¢1,000. One young boy here owns four plots, which he uses for farming. This place is close to Asamankese, and cassava and other crops are abundant here."

Reactions to land cost in Eastern Region
YEN.com.gh collated some reactions to the video shared by @askghmedia on X. Read them below:

"These are the types of news young people need. Sell your iPhones, buy a land or lands, farm cassava, make the gari yourself, process it into high-grade gari and package it for export. There are a lot of Ghanaians and Nigerians in the diaspora who need high-grade gari to make g)b3 and eba. Do this lowkey, it will take a long time, the struggles, the loss, you will learn, you will correct your mistakes, you will speak with experts who have done this before, and you will surely succeed. Good luck, and stop scrolling and fooling around on the internet. No one is coming to save you, know this and hit the road to save yourself!"

How to build on a ₵2,000 to ₵2,500 salary
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Philips Construction showed how anyone earning a ₵2,000–₵2,500 salary can start building their house.
He emphasised starting with land, working with an architect to design within your budget, and letting a contractor break costs into manageable stages.
The approach showed that with careful planning and consistent savings, homeownership is possible even on a modest income.
