This is no news, after all, FRAUD is second nature to Ghanaians and is part of and parcel of Ghanaians CULTURES since time immemorial. Did the words SIKADURO and SAKAWA ring a bell? Just asking.

By the way, I'm waiting to hear from those DEMENTED AND NINCOMPOOPS Ghanaians, (who are fond of spewing their stupid nonsense here that the culprit is not a real Ghanaian), as if Ghanaians are saints. I rest my case.

I bet you, this scamer is a Nigerian with Ghanaian passport. We have corrupt Ewes and pepefo in every government agency in Ghana selling our dignity for money.

Incompetence Ewes and pepefo as leadersis plunging Ghana down the slope for complete destruction without recovery.

Rawlings and his NDC have corrupted Ghana beyond recovery. Rawlings, who killed some Ghanaianson the grounds of corruption is destroying Ghana with unprecedented corruption in Ghana's history. many foreigners have Ghana passport in their possession. When they commit crime overseas, they regard them as Ghanaians.

Let Ghanaian officials go and examine that scamer and I will be right. Rawlings, the thief, tell your NDC thieves that enough is enough.

You ask Ewes why because you are a moron with no deductive brain. And, Ghanaian journalists - have you made your own investigation to establish the true identity of this man? If you have not then you should tread cautiously thereby ensuring that you do not display any ineptness. For all you know, this man is actually a Nigerian.

How many videos of these so-called Ghanaians have you seen their voices was a dead giveaway of a particular country of our sub-region.

I think the ethnic comments on this platform have become so many and there are some particular people who are fond of making them. May I suggest that all ladies and gentlemen should not respond to such comments by such uncouth and nation wreckers any more for in doing so we give them the vim to continue with their evil agenda of destroying this nation? Why can we not play our politics devoid of insulting the Ewe, Ashanti, or Northerner? Are we not all first Ghanaians before our ethnic group? We should equally ignore those who have the penchant of insulting our leaders whom they need to respect? Why should people hide behind this website to be so disrespectful to the elderly just because of politics? Has crime got party colours? All the ethnic groups in Ghana have equally very nice people and very bad people and so no ethnic group should be tagged with particular crimes. There are thieves, rapists, and murderers in all the ethnic groups in Ghana. Let us stop our fallacious arguments of hasty generalizations and conclusions. I have henceforth vowed never to commend or react to anything ethnocentric on this platform. How I wished many could take such a stance so that we could shame the devil! When we do this and such people see that they have no following, they may reason up and stop it.

What you wrote is VERY REASONABLE. Sadly Ghana is full of UNREASONABLE people. The root cause of this insult problem is based only on one tribe who think it is their DIVINE RIGHT to rule OVER others. As long as the Elections do not go their way (NPP), they will keep insulting other tribes. And for a PAYBACK, these other tribes insult them back and swear never to vote for an Asante on NPP Ticket. Put a goat on NDC Ticket and Ewe will vote for the goat rather than an Asante. The Asantes are to blamed. Just calling a spade a spade.

Parents and peers in Ghana today opt to not ask questions about the ill-gotten money family and other associates bring into Ghana from the Diaspora. In fact it has become a hazard and a chore to be an honest Ghanaian or of Ghanaian parentage making honest money from honest and legitimate work. We have a society and culture in Ghana that has come to worship money and greed without societal shame and condemnation. We see the results in more people willing to consult juju-doctors, others kill to earn presumed riches and others yet deal in the drug trade or the kind of crooked living on display by this Segbefia guy.
Let's face it we are running away because he got caught but there are many more Africans with homes and properties in their respective nations where every ounce of what they have came through life of crime. Many of our African women aspire to date these rotten rich folks from the Diaspora while the larger society has the riches of these contemptible creatures as the new standard for measuring success in Ghana and elsewhere in Africa. He is a criminal and or brought shame because he got caught; there are many more of him with properties in Ghana and or elsewhere in Africa and guess what it came from the earned freedoms without national morality of any kind.
