In an earlier YEN.com.gh report, social media buzzed when three friends from Ghana, one of whom appears to go by the name of Patience, released a bill from a restaurant they chose not to name.

One of the women called the cuisine a "nonsense meal," implying that it was not as lovely as one might think, which made several people laugh on social media.
