However, to Abena's surprise, her boyfriend pulled out a GH¢100 note from his pocket and handed it over to her to prepare the food.

After taking the money, Abena was heard telling her beau, whose name was mentioned as Emma, that it was insufficient to prepare the meal that would satisfy his cravings.

"This is not enough. Emma, GH¢100 can't prepare banku and groundnut soup with chicken; how much is even corn dough?" she was heard saying.

She later threw the money at Emma and asked him to top it up.
