In a video shared on TikTok by @Kwesi&Akua_backup, the woman was seen peeling ripe plantains and slicing them into smaller pieces as she prepared the dish from scratch.
Her comfort in the kitchen quickly drew admiration from viewers.
Beyond the cooking, attention also turned to her love story. The woman is married to a Ghanaian man identified online as Kwesi, who has affectionately given her the Ghanaian name Akua.
Together, the couple regularly share moments from their everyday lives, blending cultures through food, language, and shared experiences.
From the video, Kwesi explained that his wife has developed a strong liking for Ghanaian meals, especially "ampesi" and “ɛtɔ.” Ampesie is made from boiled green plantain or yam, served with stew or sauce, while “ɛtɔ” is prepared by mashing boiled ripe plantain with palm oil and ground peanuts, garnished with boiled eggs and pear.
The husband, reacting to his wife’s love for food from his home country, said;
“I need to get you a Ghana Card.”

The emotional clip, shared on TikTok, documented the journey of the obroni, identified as Reza. The clip captured the moment he discovered the community's cry for cleaner water to the joyful moment their broken water pump was fixed.
The journey began when Reza, driving through a rural area, noticed women and children carrying buckets of contaminated water fetched from a local stream.

Moved by the sad situation, he stopped his vehicle to investigate. Reza learned that the town's only foot pump had been broken for over a year, leaving them with no choice but to drink unsafe water. Upon learning this, he chose to resolve the problem.
"We need to fix this!" Reza declared in the video.
True to his word, he contacted a local water pump engineer. The trending video showed the engineer and community members working together to diagnose and repair the broken pump. After three hours of work, they successfully replaced the faulty part.
The video's most powerful scene showed the first gush of clean water from the restored pump.
The community, especially the children, shouted for joy, with many of the women splashing and playing in the fresh water. The village residents were visibly overwhelmed with gratitude.
The philanthropist, who has documented his charitable work across various communities, was celebrated for his swift and impactful intervention.
The video has been widely praised not only for its heartwarming content but also for shedding light on the critical issue of clean water access in rural communities.
