Since everyone wants to get paid... These players personally earn a career benefit just by playing for the BS... some Euro teams require national team representation before considering to sign a foreign player..

Ghanaians are now chasing money under CAPITALISM. There is no more "PATRIOTISM" in Ghana. CORRUPTION is rife in Ghana because we are chasing money under CAPITALISM. We are competing for MONEY not for PATRIOTISM.

If the players say "if this is the amount you want to pay us for each game at the AFCON, then you can keep your money", it does not mean they're not playing for money. It rather means they're playing for money, or at least they are playing for something worth more than $5,000.

I really admire the current bonus for the Black SHIT eeei sorry the Black stars. Black stars players want to be paid $20,000 winning bonus each match so that they win

just 3 matches and come home. We are tired of the players placing forth in AFCON tournaments while they earn so much money. Ghanaians are in need of trophies

Therefore, currently the players will be earning 5,000 dollars per match and pocket an additional 60,000 dollars each when they win the cup. So why can’t they accept the 5,000 dollars and strive to win the cup so that they pocket the ultimate 5,000 dollars. Do they want to be paid more during the early stages of the competition so that they pocket our money and come home empty handed

Black Stars money problems hasn't ended with Brazil episode. Ghanaians should braze up for more shocks as they unfold from this money minded group of Black Stars. Its obvious the boys are playing for money and, rather Nyantekyi wants again wants to start another deceptive stories to do his usual cover-ups which I believe will soon blow up on his face.

The only way Ghana football could see some progress is to remove the incompetent and deceitful John Mahama-led NDC gov't out of power. After the horrible Brazil WC-2014 saga, they still want to push themselves through by making scanty offers for our gallant men. No-way!

I wonder why Mahama's NDC gov't has set up a committee of inquiry into the WC-2014 fiasco? It's useless and baseless to set up such a committee when it's obvious that gov't caused Ghana's downfall at the World Cup. Folks should just consider all the chaos and confusion that engulfed the camp of the Black Stars.

Mahama's gov't had planned to pay our players in Cedis; our economy has gotten to an all-time low and to a point that Ghanaian businesses with foreign money in their accounts can only cash their money in Cedis although they had set up set or opened their various accounts in Dollars, British Pounds, CFA ect. When we started complaining, they've decided to come out with this crap solution.

NDC think everyone is a fool. Kuffour's gov't set new standard in Ghana's football that helped us to appear for the first time in nation's history at the WC-2006 in Germany. They used their "buga-buga" tactics to win the 2008 & 2012 elections thinking they could do something good. Now the evidence is clear---things continue to fall apart; they don't have any ideas to make Ghana football progress, except to make such bogus promises to our National Team and demand good results. They did this in 1982 when Ghana won the African Cup. Many of our players were disappointed when all AFRC/P-NDC gov't could offer was 10,000 Cedis as bonus. Kotoko's current CEO, Samuel Opoku Nit was among the squad; Kofi Abbrey, Papa Arko, Kofi Badu, Emmanuel Quarshied, Albert Asase were all part of the team. Folks who have access to these players should ask them. I'm not here to create funny stories.

The NDC led by Rawlings don't believe why people should live free and successful lives when the can't seem to catch up with others. It's a sad situation, and that's what we're seeing here. Get the NDC out of sight now!

Heheheheeee, NDC apparatchiks are so worried! They can't stand the truth or facts. They will only resort to insulting people who'd want the truth to be told.

They always want to lie to Ghanaians yet the evidence is there for all to see. Things continue to fall apart for citizens of our nation as corruption and looting of state coffers continue in high gov't circles.

In just 6yrs of NDC coming into power, they've contracted loans to the tune of US $23 Billion, yet they have nothing to show for it. Folks should go to Ghana Procurement Agency and find out how pro-NDC contractors have been over-billing in their contract awards. It's disheartening to note.

So the Billions of Dollars in loans can't support projects help execute the nation's development projects. And they [NDC] and their apparatchiks get peeved when the truth is being told; when they've been exposed. May God help us.

However, if the players want to be patriotic they can ask the GFA to use their share prize to help the needy or put into a project that will better the citizens than to say "if this is the amount you what to pay us for each game at the AFCON, then you can keep your money"

Read between the lines and understand that Mr.Nyantakyi is indirectly telling us that all the players care about is money and don't want to upset the players by using the headlines "Black Stars are not playing for money"

Our problem is not much of what the players get BUT what the executives are going to secretly amass! No one talks about what the GFA and its "thousand and one" members get.
It is equally important to cut down the number of the so-called executives who normally out number the players and the heavy amounts they take home.

That was the bone of contention between the players and the numerous executives that accompanied them to the World Cup in Brazil.

So Ghana wants to know how many executives are going to Eq. Guinea and how much they would be collecting. Does that make sense?

Mr GFA president, do you think before you talk? You are blinded by the quest for money. You are a failure. Get out and allow a better leader take over the GFA.

We call it honorarium, not pay. They must receive something for costs and expenses, and a token recognition for their dedication. They are not to be paid anything amounting to the market value of their services to the nation. Then Ghanaians will consider and treat them as heroes and dedicated citizens who serve their nation. It we pay them according to the value of their services, they will be no better than mercenaries. This what they must understand. The receive market value pay from their 'day jobs' playing for their CLUBS.

If they are not playing for money, why did they refused to play in protest of the the appearance fees in Brazil 2014. Don't fool Ghanaians Mr. Nyantakyi.

Can the GFA president explain why so many officials including himself follow the team? If it's for the love of the game and management they should not take allowance per day for travelling with the team. Our leaders are selfish, lack wisdom to solve petty issues of our country.Enjoy punishing the best players for speaking their mind and satisfy yourselves.

Now that the players, the main characters of the show,have been coerced into accepting that "weeny tweeny" meager sum of reward, knowing for sure the album of the State's current ugly economic pictures were shown to them as the bait for that drastic cut.
Did any of the players ask how much you the officials were going take home based on the same ugly economic trend? I guess not.
Am missing Muntari already.

Interestingly, Nyantakyi, being the face of the GFA, the guru, as Afriyie Ankrah would say., Osman's economic overtures since 2006 in terms of running the GBS never seizes to amaze me.
A man who have been accused for mismanaging monies intended for the use and upkeep of the GBS continues to talk about money for the joint. Hasn't this man get a shame?
Does he value the mainstay of acquired legacy
and its onslaught protection by someone like him who has built such a big name for himself and Ghana and most probably, the entire Africa?
Oh No! Man must be forced to stay out negotiating money intended for the GBS. Cuz, it is now predictable that he negotiates mone with his best interest at heart. The more money the GBS get, the more, perhaps twice as much he gets. How much is he paid for being the president of the Association? Just form the coefficient of his salary per month for ten years and balance it with the number of mansions he has acquired over a ten year period, plus his ownership of a football club, number of children in coveted schools and so on and so forth, One could easily deduced in conclusion that Osman Donfodio and very many of our leaders have not lived an honest life.
When he's allowed to stay on, we lose than we win.
Kind of hard the Ghanaian hardly finds the truth. God, they say is the truth and the way. But how do we get access to this way? Haven't we proven ourselves enough as Xtians? OOPS! our acts have just, and only been a window dressing.
"Yebehu no, na as3e awie"
Beats Me.
