Having stayed for days without eating any Ghanaian food, the lady was heard telling her uncle to return her to Ghana, saying that she could no longer cope.

"I'm tired since I came here, it's only vegetables that we eat. All their food is vegetables. I even went outside to look for Gobɛ or Kenkey to buy, I walked meters, but I couldn't find any Ghanaian food to buy," she stated

The uncle was heard in the background of the video telling her that there was no African food market close to where they lived.

Upon hearing this, the lady pleaded with her uncle to purchase a ticket for her to return home, adding that she was craving Banku and Gobɛ, two of the local Ghanaian meals.

"I want to return to my country, I can't cope with the food here, You lied to me uncles, you told me that every Ghanaian food is here only for me to come and realise it's not true. Please buy a ticket for me to return home," she added.
