A Ghanaian man with the Twitter handle @sey_amen has gotten himself in an interesting situation with a Zimbabwean lady after she posted a picture of herself alongside her national flag.

In the original post made by @sey_amen that has gone viral, he indicated that the lady named Tanaka and her national flag are both like banku, which is a local Ghanaian dish.

The lady after seeing the post asked what 'banku' meant and was told that it simply translates as 'beautiful'.

Unsuspectingly, Tanaka went through some of the gentleman's pictures and retweeted one of them in a bid to return the compliment he gave her.

She tagged it "face banku" and the young man pretentiously expressed his gratitude to her for the 'kind words'.

The post gathered thousands of reactions and hundreds of comments.
