Which goat do you need Ghana to kill earlier? Mahama will listen to the wisdom of some of us. Even the country with the best medical care has decided in some counties not to not to admit children from Ebola areas who went on vacation and are coming back until they are cleared by CDC and the Dept of Health. What is wrong with Ghana? We can't even contain Cholera.

Are we serious as a country. Even United States find it hard to contain Ebola. Please tell CAF to go to hell

No sane government will bring Ebola to its people. The love of money has taken over sane reasoning in ghana..Some one has to go to court to challenge this...declaration of ebola war on Ghana!

May be Ayariga is only thinking out loud. Otherwise, this is the best opportunity Mahama and his ministers have to put the final nails in the coffins of their Ghanaian compatriots so they will be free to enjoy the spoils!!!

As a Security and Intelligence analyst i am warning the authorities that Ghana's economy will collapse irredeemably if Ghana hosts AFCON. For starters, Western diplomatic missions will warn their nationals not to fly into Ghana for six months during and after the tournament. Efforts will be made to frustrate Ghanaians from obtaining visas to western countries from January to June next year. Tourists will avoid coming to Ghana. Food and allied exports from Ghana to Western countries will not be allowed in. Even our diplomats and top officials will be vigorously frisked if they are able to acquire the relevant authorization to travel out. Hotels and restaurants will lose business. The cedi will exchange at 10 (Ten) Cedis to one dollar. The economy will collapse! Mark my words!

For once I am terribly disappointed in this Mahama-led NDC govt. When all other countries are seeking the welfare of their citizens, Ghana's Sports Minister is prepared to open our borders for the deadly Ebola disease. Listen to the Minister from Morroco and compare it same to what the Ghanaian Sports Minister said. God have mercy on us as a country.

The decision to host this tourney is flawed in the first place. We are still grappling with deep internal mess; bad economy, energy mess, etc. Where is the reliable energy to power our stadia? After BRAZIL "dollar flight" humiliation, the least NDC thieves can do is to spare us another unpardonable disgrace because we don't even have the energy wherewithal to host the tournament. Are they even thinking about the possible EBOLA MESS? GMA more grease into your elbows!!!!

Fellow Ghanains, its time to rise up for your lives and rights .Ebola is deadly n easily contracted .lack of knowledge will make Ghana perish .What is Ayatiga with his pres lident after? Please don't make us a global laughing stock..If the USA with the best healthcare system is even panicking. with Ebola ,how on earth can Ghana welcome ebola ?. Is Ayariga abreast with deaths and the expected death of 10000 per week in the subsequent months above all the aids from US ,Uk,WHO and other voluntary organizations.Enough is enough you are too greedy for money
Please dom,t exchange our lives with your selfish desires .We outside are fasting n prayimg that Ebola will skip Ghana n the (wise) in position are exhibiting their folly with such decisions.If you don,t rescind your decision for AFCON ,we will pray for the judgement of God opun the drcision makers and their entire family .God bless Ghana
