So Nyantekyi, now knows that Black Star matches should be rotated? Funny!!! He thinks those of us from the North, don't matter. We can die of Ebola and not Ashantis. Up to now they cannot tell us why Ebola infested Guineans cannot be sent to Ashanti, their sworn to the hilt venue for all Black Star Matches, but to Tamale.

Kojo why be nice with this incorrigible
piece with kind words?
You think he is not serious? He is. He knows perfectly what he is doing.

Not being serious doesn't fit. He is a habitual liar as well as a compulsive gambler, a kleptomaniac, I suppose.

With the arrogance associated with his governance, he has deliberately shifted the venue to Tamale with the
notion of 'showing Fans where power lies'
Like what proverbial politicians do, he has shifted the match to his homeland, call it his constituency, as a show of allegiance to the Northern sector where he did inherit
the Osman Don Fodio's trait and solidarity.

Like you said, he doesn't get it. He is underrating the might of fans. He wants to disgrace/hurt Kumasi. A show and power that transcend, and or encompasses that of the president of Ghana. He has lately become a dictator
"s3 Oka a, obi nnka bi"
In that, the move was decided by himself using the GFA as an alibi.

I wonder why the commission could not see through his lies the capricious explanation he gave about the Tamale move.
Well, lets see if he would fill Tamale
to the brim. Lets see if Tamale would bring the success he needs.
How long shall we tolerate these bad elements of society?
A bad blood indeed.
Oh MamaGhana!

Togo was even friendlier than Kumasi, what a childish mind! Nyantakyi can take BS to anywhere he wants to, thus his problem but not punishment for Kumasi fans as his narrow brain tells him. The fans still have the right to criticize him for the benefit of BS and Ghana.Don`t look back to Kumasi keep going with your BS. Baba Yala is bigger than you and you can`t take Baba Yala with you.

We must not discount the contribution of Dr Joseph Boakye Danquah, the rest oof the big six and others. In 1928 when little wasl known of African philosophy Danquah's work "Akan laws and customs and the constitution of Akim (Akyem) Abuakwa" convinced the Africans, the British and the world at large that the people of Ghana (Gold Coast) were ready for self government.

As one of the few African members of the legislative assembly he vehemently opposed the British decision to setup only one university for British West Africa in Nigeria. His action led to the decision to setup the University of Ghana - Legon.

All this was before Nkrumah came to the scene. But we must also not forget the immense contribution Nkrumah made.

Akwasi Nyantakyi has shot himself in the foot. He made Kumasi almost the permanent home for the Black Stars not because he loves the people of Kumasi. He knows his likes detest everything Kumasi stands for. He chose Kumasi because they know how to fill the stadium. Your rotational idea is good but your reason for Tamale is flimsy or are you doing that to make Ayariga be proud of you. Go but remember no to come back.

Massa, there is nothing wrong with the Black Stars playing in Tamale. He is just making people upset by playing politics with the National Team. He is trying to isolate Ashantis when he knows damn well that the whole Ghana was upset with him. Why did he not play in Tamale before then if he was rotating? This guy is making Ghanaians look like fools with his divide and rule tactics. First, he suspended the players and blamed them for taking too much money, then he sent the coach packing, now he is trying to divide and conquer the angry fans with his divide and rule tactics. Can't you read between the lines?

I'm sorry but does the GFA understand what's going on in West Africa. A game against Guinea will attract Guinea's that are potentially infected with Ebola. Ghana is already dealing with cholera and CORRUPTION/SANITATION/ HEALTH CARE/EDUCATION/BAD ECONOMY. The last thing we need is a stupid football match against a country dealing with an epidemic to bring it to Ghana. I swear I feel like people of high power in Ghana forget that stupid desicions have risky consequences to our nation. Plus, do we really need a football team right now? I adore football but all the money(if any) that goes into th GFA could be put to good use. The only people the benefitting from the football are the corrupt and greedy GFA officials.
