Ghanaian Woman Makes Her Son Respond In Spanish When Her Family In Ghana Calls To Ask For Money
- A Ghanaian woman living abroad shared a video showing how she handles family members from Ghana who call her for financial help
- The lady has a son, who speaks both Twi and Spanish, whom she instructs to answer calls in Spanish with the intention of confusing the callers
- One caller thought it was an answering machine, but she soon found out the tactic and left a message insisting she would keep on calling
A Ghanaian woman living abroad shared a video to show the methods she has devised and how she reacts when her family and relatives in Ghana call her for financial support.
The woman makes her son, who speaks fluent Spanish and seems to understand bits of Twi, a local Ghanaian language, answer the calls. The idea typically is to weigh down the caller to discourage them from calling again.
For instance, in a video shared on X, when her son brought his mother her phone to answer a call, she told the son to bog down the caller by speaking Spanish.
Ghanaian man cries out as lover jilts him: "We dated for 8 years, but she saved my number Uber driver"
“Mummy, mummy someone is calling you,” the boy said.
The little boy did as instructed and asked the caller how they were doing, all in Spanish. However, the female caller did not understand and kept speaking Twi.
At one point, she thought it was an answering machine that asked her to leave a message. She later figured she was speaking to the son of the lady who she was calling.
Feeling frustrated, the lady cut to the chase and left a message for the boy to deliver to his mother.
“Ola again? This means she gave the phone out the whole day. When your mother comes tell her I called again. As for the money, whether she likes it or not, we will collect it for the funeral. She is the one who gives us money for everything. Tell your mother her sister called.”
In the video, the Ghanaian woman living abroad reiterated that this was just but a tip of the iceberg and one of the many strategies she has in her bag to handle people in Ghana who keep calling her for money.
“You think I’m a fool. This is the way I will continue to treat you people. You have not seen anything yet.”
