When the African that has lived in Europe or United States often goes back to Africa with their fancy cars, American and Euro dollars and parades their wealth in Africa villages, these homegrown villagers desire to have the same riches.  This was the case of four young men that lived in a village in Ghana, and finally decided to find spiritual channels to get rich.

Even though this movie titled Sakawa is purely fictional they are based on real events that do occur in the lives of an African. Since many are motivated with the desire to get rich by spiritual means, there are also those false spiritual channels that offer bizarre spiritual means to acquire riches.  Sakawa means black magic or witchcraft. One of these was a Malam (an Islamic type of priest) who these young men consulted with the hope of making them rich.

His advice to one man was for him to eat his feces (daily excrements) from the toilet for seven days and at the end of the seventh day he will be rich. The Malam charged him $700 as his fee. This man actually ate his feces for seven days and at the end of the seventh day, no money showed up.  He was as poorer than ever because he borrowed  money to pay off the Malam, and has received nothing in return.

In another instance this same Malam told another man to eat the worms from the toilet for seven days and this man did eat worms from his feces for seven days and also had nothing at the end of the seventh day.  He was charged $600 for his fees to the Malame. These men were all tricked by the Malam into performing extreme tasks, which for the sake of their extreme desire for money they all did, but received nothing in return.

SIKA WA, means it is had to get money, so these men were all put to perform extreme acts that they will not do under any normal circumstances, but all of them did it with the hope of miraculously gaining money.

After many years, some of these young men found a genuine demon and made a pact with the demon that offered all kinds of riches. But there was an an extreme sacrifice made by each of them for the riches they received. None of them can have a normal relationship with a female in other to have children.  Agya Koo sacrificed his unborn child from the womb of his wife, and the child was cooked and the group ate it as his admission into the cult to be rich.  His wife died when the child was taken out of her womb.

After he was admitted into the cult he became extremely wealthy but the price of getting all these riches is, he cannot bare a child with a woman. Another one of his friends had to have sex with an insane, dirty, homeless women that live in the bush.  Even though this man became extremely wealthy his pact with the devil was such that he cannot have a normal relationship with any woman, excerpt that he has to have sex daily with insane women.

Another man’s pact with the devil caused a wound to appear on his leg which never heals and this large open sore was painful for him at night and when women see this large open wound on his leg they simply leave him, so he also was not able to have a normal relationship with any women. 

All these men became extremely wealthy but they were all handicapped in some way that limited their ability to live a normal life.  The riches of the devil is  a price that a person cannot afford to pay. 

Indirectly, I see why the devil took away their ability to have normal relationship with women in order to have children.  Spirits cannot bare children in any state whether they materialize as human beings or when invisible. Spirits cannot have children, and the devil imposed the same on these men that desired to be rich.  The devil took away the one thing that human beings have that spirits do not have,  and that is the ability to reproduce. So even though a spirit may be a god that can seemingly live forever and appear in any form they want, they cannot reproduce to have children and this is a price they pay for immortality.  

So the morale of this story is, how far will you go to be rich.  Will you work hard with your hands and gain very little and be content as a normal human being or will you strike a deal with the devil to be rich who takes away your ability to have children? 

Santeria and Voodoo are common practices in the African culture and whether a person likes it or not they sooner or later are confronted to deal with it. You may wake up to find all kinds of voodoo spells placed at your doorstep for various reasons to cause a person harm.  In Haiti, voodoo is a religion and one must have ways to deal with these issues. In the book “How to neutralize Santeria and Voodoo” you will find a powerful Kabbalistic method to  neutralize  voodoo spells, and many have testified to the effective method in that book. I suggest that those that often encounter voodoo must learn this method of neutralizing voodoo, to have a sense of peace in their lives.

Santeria stems from the worship of the Seven African gods. The Kabbalistic method of spiritual cleansing is often recommended. You can also sprinkle the Kabbalah spiritual oil on voodoo spells to neutralize them.
