Ghanaian youth love Gobɛ

Gobɛ, a popular Ghanaian street food, comprises gari (gritted cassava powder), cooked beans garnished with red oil, and served with fried ripe plantain and egg, and sometimes avocado.

The street food is loved by many people in the country, particularly the youth, because of its affordability.

It is, therefore not surprising that Scatterbwoy would be devastated by the woman's announcement of a Christmas break.

Meanwhile, Lawyer Nii Ayikoi the President of the Ga Dangme Council, was peeved by the description of the delicacy as Gobɛ.

The man who previously served as Ghana's Attorney General and Minister of Justice said the right name of the food was "Yɔ kɛ gari" and not Gobɛ.
