Article Abstract
The Money God Empire (MGE) is a Ghanaian scamming syndicate that blends elements of Nigerian Yahoo Plus rituals and Ghanaian Sakawa practices.
It primarily involves street-level scammers, who target men using pornographic and camgirl materials, often fueled by racism towards whites and African immigrants in the West. While seen as a “new religion” among these scammers, the more professional cartels and higher-level fraudsters, often Muslim or Christian, regard these practices with amusement, focusing instead on more sophisticated operations.
Special Report: Ghanaian Scammer’s Money God Empire (“MGE”) [Updated 2024]
In Ghana (and Leaking into Neighboring Countries) a Kind of Money Ritual has Evolved, Partly Based on the Black Axe and Yahoo Yahoo Plus from Nigeria with a Mix of Sakawa
Money God Empire (“MGE”)
It appears to be borrowing from the Nigerian Yahoo Plus, with a dash of Sakawa thrown in. However, it is also uniquely Ghana.
There is limited specific information available on a group called “Money God Empire (MGE)” tied to Ghanaian scammers. However, West African scamming syndicates, particularly in Ghana, are known to operate elaborate schemes, often focused on romance and investment fraud. These scams rely heavily on manipulation, where victims are coerced into sending money under false pretenses. Many of these networks are financially motivated, with members rationalizing their actions as “hustles” within difficult economic contexts
It is all amount blessing the scammer, as much for their motivation as a criminal as for their success. The scammers that engage in this are the lower level gang thugs of Ghana and not a part of the larger operations run out of Universities or Corporate Cartel Centers. These are the street Sakawa boys that can be characterized as Ghana’s send generation of thug scammers.
They mostly focus on scamming men using porn and camgirl photos. They are extreme in their racism against whites AND against blacks living in Europe and the United States (including Canada and Australia).
In Ghana scammer circles this has become the New Religion, even though traditional Sakawa remains for many. However, with the incursion of more professional scammers who are Muslim or Christian, this is seen by the Cartels with amusement.

These rituals are like a child’s view of a religion. A mash-up of different things thrown together with no real sense – a blend of Sakawa, Christianity, and local shamanistic practices. They typically involve the killing of snakes, female body fluids, and lying in a coffin. Nudity and sex is also a part of the process.
