why African scammers talk about the UK alot

[march1971]

have you ever wondered why African scammers talk about the United Kingdom alot?  most of West Africa was owned by the British. when Gold Coast was freed from British rule, it became Ghana, meaning "Warrior King", on March 6, 1957, three years later Nigeria followed suit on October 4, 1960. oftentimes, you will get a message from someone claiming to have $14,000,000 in a bank in the UK. this scam comes not from Ghana or Nigeria, but from Senegal. while there are Christians in Ghana, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Senegal, and other parts of West Africa, there are also those involved in witchcraft also, operating in internet cafes throughout West Africa. oftentimes, someone from Dakar, Senegal will post a photo of a sexy young lady wanting marriage and/or a relationship. most often, the lady is 24 and the marrying age in Senegal is 26. at any rate, the "young lady" will say that her late father deposited $14,000,000 in a bank and needs your help in moving it, and in return, you will be in a relationship with her. you will never see a dime of this money that is supposedly in the UK, because there will be fees that you have to pay.
make sure that when you recycle your computer, you delete every bit of your information, because most often, your computer will wind up in a West African junk yard and the men involved in witchcraft comb the junk for computer parts and can build a computer from scratch in no time. the Internet service for West Africa comes from the UK. if you forgot to take your information off of the hard drive, kiss your cash goodbye. the term for witchcraft in Ghana is "Sakawa", and they make a handsome living selling merchandise related to the "Sakawa" religion. they will either photoshop photos of a sexy young lady or they recruit ladies off of the streets to lie for them.
here is some of the terms that the scammers use:
maga-fool
mugu-a scammer that has been fooled
"Yahoo boy" or "Yahoo millionaire"-scammers making their living off of the Internet
oga-boss
guy-man-a scammer on the job
