The problem today is that too many Ghanaians, especially the youth want to get rich as quickly as possible. They cannot understand that in order to be successful a person needs to work very hard over many years , plan strategically and learn to persevere in spite of difficulties and hardships.
IN REALITY THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TO ANY FORM OF SUCCESS OR WEALTH.
Those who insist on taking shortcuts will end up either disgracing or destroying themselves.

The Ghanaian security system should be serious in arresting these Sakawa guys. They are robbing people's mobile and Bank accounts.

Some Ghanaian are low in thinking, most especially those ones that don't know there father's. Because they lack sense and behave like animals. We thought Ghanaian don't commit crime. Republic of stolen cars.

Stop the nonsense already. When it comes to GREED, Ghanaians rank number one on the continent. Ghanaians and the love of money are like 5 & 6. We claim to worship God but on the contrary we worship money.

The Prison Sentence was just too short .These people will be Ghanaians and Nigerians with fake Ghanaian names. They should hay been Sentenced to about 15 years in Prison with Hard Labor with no possibility of a Parole. By the time of their release and deportation back to Ghana and Nigeria, their wives and Girlfriends would all remarried and live at no known address and can not be found
While in Prison in the UK, they are going to be Gang Raped, beaten and made to serve as the servants of some of the senior prisoners.. Yes, the Senior Prisoners and their gangs shall treat them as their slaves. I am very glad for their arrests. Let me pray for them to enjoy their possible rough and tough time in British prison.

There is no way I will say that Ghanaians are Saints because we are not. How many Nigerians move around the World and claim that they are Ghanaians and hold genuine and fake Ghanaian Travelers Passports. Everywhere they go, they don’t want to identity themselves as Nigerians. I don’t need to work at the Ghana Immigration Authority to know what Nigerians outside their country claim where they are from.
I chanced to meet a Nigerian who worked at the vehicle workshop of a Mechanic who worked on my cars. I went to the shop one time and my Mechanic told me that “Hei Frank, I have one Guy from your country working for me Come and say hello to him. The moment that he spoke, I found out that he was a Nigerian so I spoke to him that Oga, you be Nigerian. He motioned me to keep quiet. I took the Mechanic outside and told him that the SUPPOSED GHANAIAN was a Nigerian. The Mechanic was spellbound. A few minutes later, the SUPPOSED GHANAIAN asked to buy some beverage drink. That was the last time he came to the shop.
By instinct, whenever a Ghanaian is arrested or accused of any crime, especially cyber ones, I don’t rule out that the arrested or accused person could also be really a Nigerian. Don’t you know that Nigerians don’t trust each other? Go and find out.

That’s the legacy of Sakawa Akyim Mafia. Akufo Addo allowed criminals into the country without proper background checks and today criminal gangs are everywhere.
