Students at Suame in the Ashanti region are abandoning the classrooms for internet scam, popularly known as Sakawa, after one of their colleagues hit a jackpot of GHC1billion through the fraudulent practice.
Authorities of one of the most affected schools, the Suame King Faisal Islamic junior high school, are therefore calling on government to intervene in order to save the future of the community.
A teacher at the school, Michael Womowura told Ultimate FM’s Isaac Bediako Justice that most of the students do not return to their classrooms after the first break.
“This kind of Sakawa thing that has come, we have some children who were here and have not finished and they have won money so they have stopped coming. There was one guy here called Sammy he won almost GHC1 billion and now he is gone to Germany.
“So now a days, if you go into every internet café, the children are there looking for fast money. Now they know that they can win money so we are begging the government to make laws to shut internet cafes from the morning till about 2:30pm.
“As we speak, if you go to the internet cafe right now you will see the students there looking for money and if a teacher should go there and stop them, they will embarrass and hoot at you. And because you are just one person you cannot do anything about it and not even the Police are willing to stop them,” he lamented.
He added that the more a particular teacher tries to stop students from the act, the more the students hated him and so teachers are reluctant to pursue them since they do not want to create enemies for themselves.
Sakawa is a widespread practice in Ghana and other African countries which combines modern Internet-based fraud practices with ethnic (traditional) or religious rituals. The rituals which are mostly in the form of sacrifices are made so that a supreme being aids them (culprits) in getting whatever they may ask from their victims without their victims denying their request.
The term Sakawa initially referred to specific online scams but has since broadened to include all types of online frauds and scams mainly targeting foreigners.

A study of the world most successful Entrepreneurs revealed a lot about their habits that put them on the road to greatness and achievements. Entrepreneurs are often considered to be people with an extra
ordinary charisma; however, the truth is that, they are just like everyone else. “I have no special talents, I am only passionately curious”, Albert Einstein. What made them different is only in what they do. These set of people have succeeded in engaging themselves constantly in those habits that focuses them on achieving results, no matter how small. The good news is that anyone can cultivate these habits, to climb the ladder of success.
THEY KEEP A TO-DO LIST. Entrepreneurs are among the busiest people in the world. They are expected to be everywhere and do everything at the same time, from keeping their business on the balance, to initiating new ones, to managing the employees, to keeping in direct touch with the customers, following investors, pursuing debtors, being a responsible family person. You might be wondering how difficult it is for an entrepreneur to coordinate all these successfully. To them, it is not as difficult as you might see it, not when they have their TO-DO-LIST handy. “With my To-Do-List, I don’t have to worry about distractions, because I already have my priorities and when to do them”, Okeke Obinna of Voice Of Passion.
2. THEY WAKE UP EARLY. Successful Entrepreneurs are early risers; this helps them to get their day underway before everyone else. Waking up early puts you in a relaxed mood, because you will get things done without having to rush through them before officially starting your day. Successful Entrepreneurs know this and they adopted it as a habit.
3. THEY MEDITATE. Successful Entrepreneurs have made daily meditation a ritual they observe religiously. Meditation is very important to keep you in tune with yourself and what you truly want and keeps you focused with new inspirations. Entrepreneurs keep their every pieces of thought together through meditating on them. “The noise in the environment is always too loud and overwhelming if not properly handled, and I have found the best way to take care of my soul not leaving my body in meditation”, Prof. Mongr. Obiorah Ike.
4. THEY SET GOALS AND FOCUS ON RESULTS. Setting goal is a different thing and focusing on result is another one. Setting a goal without focusing on the result is typically being busy just like everyone else. Successful Entrepreneurs know what they want to achieve and they focus on it. Merely doing anything to get by is not their method; they have a strategy and a deadline. They realize that when you focus on results, not everything you get is good enough.
5. THEY NETWORK. Networking is a sure way to leverage yourself and what you are offering. It is a cost effective way to become successful. Successful Entrepreneurs know this and they mastered the art of networking. Attending social events, cocktail parties, Anniversaries, trade fairs and exhibitions, auctions and other networking events has become a great part of their lifestyle. They know who is new in town and who is doing what in every sector. Taking advantage of your networks puts you on the limelight and that is what Successful Entrepreneurs do.
6. THEY KNOW WHEN TO SAY NO. Every day, you are likely to be presented with great ideas, huge opportunities, new offers and so many other things that will appeal to your interest. You are likely to face personal challenges and pressure, the desire to take a break, have more vacation, stay longer in bed and work long hours and all that will be among the things battling for your consideration. Your reaction to them defines your growth and impacts on your works. Successful Entrepreneurs know this and they apply the NO approach. Saying No to all these, means saying yes to yourself and the task at hand. Great Entrepreneurs use the power of focus to stay on course and that entails saying No almost all the time.
7. THEY MANAGE THEIR MONEY. Financial management is a strong habit of every successful Entrepreneur. They go through their financial statements line by line, very detailed about their cash inflow and outflow. It’s a general opinion that entrepreneurs are stingy lots; however, it might surprise you to know that they are the biggest spenders, only that they spend more on assets. Financial management is a habit successful entrepreneurs can’t do without.

Angry customers at Kade in the Kwaebibirim district of the Eastern region chased out workers of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) with machetes and clubs for attempting to disconnect them.
A month ago, residents of the area staged a massive demonstration against what they described as the outrageous utility bills charged them by ECG. The residents gave a two week ultimatum to ECG to address their concerns but nothing has been done.
In a bid to disconnect the defaulting customers, the ECG workers were met with a strict resistance by the angry youth who threatened to attack them.

Meanwhile officials of the ECG have reported the incident to the police demanding an investigation into the matter.
