    that stupidity press man could only do it to Gyan because the pressman himself is shallow minded and extremely moronic......he should be a journalist at all.........WAS HE TRAINED?????

  • Kojo Nsiah 9 years ago

    Kenu was an idiot. His question wasn't only insensitive, it was the height of idiocy and ignorance. He was lucky he didn't receive a worse fate than just a few slaps from Asamoah Gyan's bro.

    Is only in Ghana such unscrupulous, unprofessional insensitive and irresponsible bastard will be called a Journalist. I am surprise his employers are still maintaining him on the job.

  • Ethnic sense 9 years ago

    But why do you think his employers hired him in the first place? It is a matter of dukadaya. Like father, like son.

    The stupid question clearly assumed Gyan was guilty of something. You tell me what response would have exonerated him from people like you who clearly believe accidents don't happen.

    You are wrong!... How could a professional journalist pose such rather silly questions about rumoured spiritual sacrifices etc..? Are you very "correct" in your mind?

  • kwaku Brakye Toronto 9 years ago
