The General Secretary of Ghana Game Boys Association, Nhyiraba Kojo has bemoaned the rate at which Ghanaians associate any young man who is living a lavish lifestyle as a fraud boy of sakawa.
In a virtual chit-chat with Amansan Krakye, Nhyiraba Kojo wondered why most Ghanaians don’t conclude that those young white guys abroad who also live an ostentatious lifestyle as people who are into fraud.
“First of all, if we put music aside, if you see any young guy cruising a nice vehicle then some people would conclude that it is a fraud. For all, you know the person might have parents or siblings abroad or maybe the car might not even belong to the one riding it.”
“So, if you see some young ones driving a car and you conclude that they’re into fraud then it means you’re not smart. Secondly, can’t God bless the young ones to also drive the best of cars in town. So, me especially these fraud statements I don’t support it.”
“Why don’t we also say that white young guys who ride the best of cars abroad are also into fraud because, for all you know, they might be living on the wealth of their parents? To me, there is more youth who do music and are living well so we shouldn’t say they’re into fraud.”
In the same interview, Nhyiraba Kojo remarked that being sent money by a white man in abroad is not fraud but rather it’s like having a penpal who sends you gift due to their benevolence.
