Osei Kofi is the reason why the old players are not getting anything from the FA. He is so abusive I wonder whether he is actually a pastor. He calls Berekum Chelsea and Aduana Stars nkurasefuo who are trying to take over Ghana football. Kwesi Nyantekyi may have all his problems but Osei Kofi certainly has no solutions for us.
He is all over the place insulting everyone

Awuley Quaye was the captain.He lost his Central defending(#5) position to Kuuku Dadzie.Awuley Quaye did not play right half back(#4).He was shifted to the left full back(#3) positon. Do you remember when he came face to face with Nigeria's outside right(#7) player Segun "mathematical" Odegbame? The name Odegbame became a household name in Ghana.And It was Willie Klutse who scored the winning goal against Nigeria. Also when we met Tunisia, it was Dan Kayede who played at inside right(#8)position and he bombarded their goalkeeper Atugah with ballistic shots and scored the only goal for Ghana.That time people were debating between Abdul Razak and Adolf Nii Teiko Amarh as the best player.But Adolf got injured and it automatically went to Abdul Razak as Africa's best player in 1978.

Yes it is unfortunate that a corrupt leader like that could not even live to his promises, by rewarding those selfless players who brought glory to the nation. It may be possible that all funds were made available to fulfill that promise, but greedy selfish corrupt leaders confiscated everything or shifted the lump of money into their accounts.
If Ghana also won the 82 Edition, then it may not be spiritual or psychological problem that Black Stars have but the same corrupt behaviour of the leadership. Why is it that the junior national teams do well, but the senior team is not capable? When they are young they bend back take all kinds of things, they accepts all corrupt and unjust practices done to them because they want to make it in their carriers. They want to make name for themselves, make money for themselves and families. They may be green and inexperienced, so they put their hearts and minds, bodies and souls into every game and they will make it to the heights. When they grow and get experience elsewhere then the corrupt leaders find it difficult to control them, when they succeeded, the players only played with their bodies on the fields, nothing but bitterness on the field ready and interested in getting bonuses/money to replace what had gone for putting on the national colours. We see their age mates in other nations rising tall in their national teams and beating us mpo!

What kind of prayers nd water do our boys pour on themselves before matches?
What kind of powers do they indivually cosult to protect and favor them as even reflected in the former coaches report?
What kind of problems exist in management and what spirit resists finding a solution to them. Why do we keep getting more of the same?
What kind of behaviour do we demonstrate in town when our boys win crucial matches. Which spirit do we invoke by those types of celeberatery behaviour?
When we continue to idolise our boys like gods when they win the spirit of God will not support us because we do not give Him the glory. Remember what happened during the world cup when we started giving the platform to jujumen and hailing our boys like gods?

None of the above holds.
Nothing spiritual, nothing psychological.
Ghana is not a sinner.
Its just that, there are too many players in the pool, selection is far more difficult/complex than we can think it is.
Besides, the rate at which Ghana has evolved in the christian religion, (Muslim gafara) And God being the center of attraction, the very fabric of our society is preoccupied with
pleasing God, it would be foolish and ungrateful on our part to think that God would deny us access to success and prosperity.
The irony is that, we tend to rely 'too much' on the government.
so much so, we get despaired when our needs and wants aren't forthcoming.
God, in His infinite wisdom cannot curse those who lay down their lives for others to live.
"Blessed are those who lay down their lives so others could live"
(the Bible:-The Beatitude and all that crap)
Men who die/have died in the course of defending their country, i.e. soldiers and athletes are comfortably seated in the right hand side of God.
Do you believe that?
Ghana is lucky to have had a former player as a reverend in the God's ministry who could pray for averting whatever is causing or depriving her from the much anticipated trophies other than the acclaimed psychological effects.
As a former shinning star of the stars, you have tasted/hoisted a trophy before in her name. Now that you have gotten the call, reverend father perse, I know, you would, and have prayed unceasingly so Ghana could recapture those glories but we keep missing these trophies.
How's that?
That is perhaps why you are what you are now.
My most high, the honourable reverend Osei Kofi.
BO biribi ma y3n.
Unfortunately, your prayers, OOPS! my bad.
Our prayers have not been answered; thirty-one years after the fact, and still counting.
So you see, there is nothing like God, or a god that help countries, a team, a people, a marriage, what have you to succeed.
The real deal is man's own efforts to help himself doing what he does best in order to overcome every adversity.

Can we as a nation for once devote our effort into scientific analysis of issues and come up with science based solutions to our problems rather than ascribing everything to spiritualism?. Spiritualism does not play soccer period. If spiritualism plays soccer, Israel and Haiti would have won the world cup a zillion times. You win soccer tournaments and for that matter any other sport tournament on the pillars of skills, management, focus and training/ preparation. It is the effective combination and utilization of these pillars that determine if a team will win a tournament or not. Any team that is able to combine these pillars better than the other competing teams wins the tournament. We live in a country where we think God should come and construct highways, power plants and and cultivate rice fields for us. What kind of thinking is this where we do not want to do anything but expect to solve every problem through the spiritual realm? Reverend Osei Kofi some of us heard your name when we were toddlers but as for this your position I beg to differ. What we have not been able to do effectively and better than all competing teams is the maximization of the four pillars I stated earlier. Until we do that God or whatever spirit we are talking about will safe us. God doe not play football neither is he a civil engineer to construct our highways for us.

From his explanations, it seems Osei Kofi cannot differentiate between 'spiritual' and 'psychological'. All his reasons the stars have not been winning point to psychological, and have nothing to do with spiritualism. If workers are denied their promised payment or bonuses for accomplishing a task, they are discouraged from putting in their maximum efforts in subsequent assigned tasks! Where lies the spiritual shortcomings in that instance. Or is it because Osei Kofi is 'osofo' he sees everything in spiritual prisms?

The real problem for us Ghanaians is the unscientific and illogical manner we think. We always interpret difficulties spiritually.
Ever since AFCON started in 1957, only 14 countries have ever won it out of 54 countries within CAF. As many as 40 countries have not won it before. What spiritual wrong have they done? The answer is none. The truth is that, a team must be deserving to win the competition.
The reason why we have not won it after 1982 is that, we have not been able to raise a cup-winning team in this period not because God is angry with us.
It is morally wrong to fail to honour a promise but that will not have any effect on subsequent teams. For instance the failed promise we are talking about was made just before the 1978 finals in Ghana but just 4 years after that, Ghana won the AFCON again. Rev Osei Kofi's angle is mere superstition which in simple terms another way of reasoning unscientifically and logically. And this is the real problem.
