How I Survived “The Internet Blackout” in Ghana

avatar

I made this during the “internet blackout” in Ghana. It was a frustrating period but I made sure to make the most out of it. My sister was worried about how I was going to survive without internet especially seeing how I’m always glued to my phone but I had my own ways.

Normally, I wouldn’t even run any errands for my sister but for the sake of this video, I put my stubbornness on hold. I enjoy being a last born but I feel like sometimes my big sister just wants to use errands to “wound me” (Help me guys, Justice for last borns). Thankfully, I had Mr Anonymous come to my rescue a couple of times (Please I’m still very much single).

I wasn’t sure how to post this video because anytime I tried posting a video, it would go south. I had to contact @yahuzah @hopestylist and @fastioluwa to help me compile them so it comes out well. I’m grateful for your help guys.

Anyway, I think I’m beginning to like vlogging now. Maybe I should come up with a weekly vlog project. I enjoyed making this video and I hope you like it.

Compilation was done with inShot.

😂 don’t let me remember those 72 hours. I also had lots of TV time since I couldn’t do anything else 😅.

You told Mr Anonymous to hide his face 😂. This is like a movie where you’re slowly and interesting taking us to a spectacular face reveal day 😂😂.

You want to chop sissy’s money but you don’t want to be sent 😅.

And hey, the video came out great 😊

Oh wow 😂 last born duties, and you're washing just one plate. Well, at least the blackout was a good thing, gave you the opportunity to unglue yourself from your phone 😂 and look, you survived! I enjoyed the vlog though, great compilation and awesome background music as well 👌

Hehe, you need to see how I was happy watching the video, I was like finally!!! 😅

Wow, you had so much keeping you busy during the network blackout, at Least that would make you miss us a little less 😃.

Please think of a video blog to focus on, it would be nice

Wow that must have been quite scary. I would have probably worried that the internet would never come back! Once we didn't have power for a week but, I was still able to get a bit of signal on my phone and use a small solar panel to charge certain things but it really made me realize how much I rely on electricity and internet for work and life in general. I am glad you were able to make the most of your time anyway!

Hahahaha. Hey miss last born, what about us neglected middle children? 😂
So you know what caused the outage? I'd be thinking the world had ended.

You middle children are not part🤣🤣

We were told some damages had been done to the undersea internet cables.
They made a quick fix so we hope they actually go to work on it soon.

See now, you forgot to add the “H” in my name 🫤🫤 nhaji wouldn’t make that mistake.

At least the internet blackout made you experience some things like Mr anonymous 😎😎
Movies and normal errands that a good child should do 😂😂even if they aren’t the last born. But last born are the one that do the errands tho😂😂

I enjoyed the video, now name all those foods in the video, I want to check something 🌚🌚

Good thing you found a way to take advantage of the time while you didn't have internet.
Making a video is one of my unfinished business on Hive, but I'm too shy to do it, plus I have to learn a lot of things like video editing. For now I'm comfortable with blogging, but I know that at some point I'll have to get over myself and do some vlogging.
Greetings.
