According to the source article, Ghanaian YouTuber and content creator Wode Maya has described the Akropong segment of American streamer IShowSpeed’s Ghana tour as the most meaningful and fulfilling part of the visit.
Speaking during an interview on Thursday, January 29, Wode Maya explained that the decision to focus on Akropong was intentional and aimed at presenting Ghana’s culture, identity, and natural beauty within the technical limits of live streaming. He said the location allowed the team to authentically showcase Ghanaian life without logistical complications.
Wode Maya noted that although some viewers expected IShowSpeed to visit destinations such as Cape Coast, the Volta Region, or northern Ghana, live-streaming constraints made extended travel impractical. He explained that the production required movement within short time intervals, limiting how far the team could go during the broadcast.
As part of the Akropong visit, IShowSpeed was taken to nearby attractions, including a waterfall, where he experienced a massage. Wode Maya said these moments added depth and authenticity to the tour while keeping the stream engaging.
He also highlighted the cultural importance of IShowSpeed being given a Ghanaian name by traditional authorities in Akropong, describing the gesture as a significant cultural connection that resonated with both local residents and international viewers.
Wode Maya further praised the leadership of the Akropong traditional area, commending the cooperation and understanding shown during the visit. He said the experience reflected positively on youth involvement and leadership within traditional institutions.
IShowSpeed’s Ghana tour attracted widespread online attention, drawing millions of viewers worldwide and placing Ghana’s culture, people, and tourist sites in the global spotlight.
