The two Chinese citizens were heard speaking Twi, the most widely spoken local Ghanaian language, as they engaged in the heated conversation.

"Come, let's go to China; let's return home," the Chinese man was heard saying.
But Afia Pokua responded, "I won't go; I won't return to China."

The young Chinese lady has been living and working in Ghana for many years, so it is not surprising to see her speak the local language fluently.

Afia Pokua, who has gained a massive following on TikTok for her entertaining and engaging content, appears to have settled perfectly into life in Ghana, fully immersing herself in the local culture.

Below is the video of Afia Pokua and the Chinese man engaging in a conversation about returning home.
