Kwasia Nunoo Mensah, You are stealing government money to enrich yourself. How much did you give to those players who sacrificed for the nation? They had to beg Mahama for several months before he gave them that stupid amount for all of them to share. Mahama has even done better because with the exception of Kutu Acheampong, no other leader has given a pesewa to these sacrificial lambs.

Unlike the players from yesteryears, today's players are professionals who make a living playing soccer. They deserved to be paid. Besides, it was the GFA that promised them a bonus as an incentive to spur them to victory. I believe Nunoo-Mensah, a retired military office, is taking his pension pay for all his years in the army. Is he willing forgo the pension he has earned in the name of patriotism?

What kind of nonsense is this ... who works for nothing these days .. why is it always about footballers ... why not MP'S ... Assembly Men ... Police Officers ... they can all be patriotic by refusing their wages and bonuses as well ... these players are earning like everyone one else for their families and their future should anything happen it's their profession ... why are Ghanaian players always being targeted .. sure every country pays their players ... what are you going to do with the money if they choose to give it up .... stop hating and let them get on with it ... sure u guys got paid when u were working and still earning some money ... take good care of the economy ... stop looting the government coffers ... their bonuses will come across as nothing ... the government can't account for a lot of money missing out there yet chasing down the players to give up their bonuses .. Woyome still owes millions .. Bull Shit !!!

The patriotism Nunoo is talking about was true to some extent. It was also forced on them, to some extent. Who dare you question Nkrumah if asked? Players were drawn from various teams to form the Real Republicans - Nkrumah's team. No one could challenge.
There is the argument that these players collect the bonuses to ensure a financially sound future . Most of these players ( probably except the few local players) are making enough in their respective clubs. Could a little sacrifice be made here by collecting a token amount as bonuses when playing for the nation? Probably . The GFA also has a responsibility. What happens if someone gets injured on a national assignment, like Jerry Akaminko? Some mechanism must be in place to cater for such rare situations. There could be a way out for both parties so that what happened to the players of old doesn't occur again.
Players playing for their nation is not part of their normal employ. The players should therefore not expect to amass wealth for their retirement at the expense of the nation which aided them to be where they are now. Most of our players making millions now shot into fame because of our local league. This discussion needs to be looked at from various facets. There is no simple solution but a determined administrator could come up with a structure to narrow the differences between the players & the football administration

Let the babies with sharp teeth and other NDC appointees, the greedy bastards, I mean, who are amassing wealth left and right be patriotic and stop stealing. Everyone will follow including the footballers.

INTERESTING. Did the rtd General take his retirement benefits and any Ex-Gratia after his service? Hmmm. Some MPs have been in Parliament for over 12yrs but have never made a single contribution in the House yet they take their salaries and other allowances. Can the respected rtd General remember the way young ALI JARRAH got to the end of a promising profession? Today who cares or even remembers him. Pls allow these young men. This is their time. If only we had planned PROPERLY things would not have come to this.

This man should shut up! Is it his money that is being used to pay the players? What is his own in this matter? If he thinks he is too honest, let him work for free for Ghana. Let the politicians work for free for Ghana. Everyone must be paid for what he does. Footballers can make much more money if they stay in Europe and do not come to play for Ghana. So if we need their services, the government must pay them a commensurate salary. It is as simple as that.

Our respected must be reminded about the changes in life people go through. Let me quote what he said :Brigadier-General (rtd) Nunoo-Mensah recalled how “former Black Star players such as Rev Osei Kofi, Kwame Adarkwa, Wilberforce Nfum, Aggrey Fynn among others were ready to die for Ghana”.
General, the game of soccer has evolved within decades.It use to be amateur soccer where players got involved as a past-time. Now it is business.For example Africa has 5 countries representing them in the World Cup. It used to be only one single country representing Africa where Zaire went to World Cup and were beaten 9-0 by Yugoslavia. Our African players have contributed to the development of professional soccer in Europe and has enticed FIFA to take such a decision.These players are playing for money and will not leave their JOBS to play for Ghana, get injured without care,and go back to their various clubs. General, soccer is now business and not a pastime.
