Ghanaians are hypocrites.y shd ur president forget abt pertinent problems and beg ayews whom no one has offended.is the president not creating problems between ayews,gfa and gfa kwasi Appiah as if there is one?can we as Ghanaians point out a single person who offended the ayews?the best way to solve misunderstanding is to meet those involved separately and later meet all of them.did your president find anything from the coach, gfa before inviting the black stars saviours u claim?can your president say that ayews going back to the team is ghana's problem or part of it?is it a credential to him if he won the ayews back or finding ways to deals with ghana's current problems?now is he inviting essien and kp boating in that order?if he does not invite them,is it partiality and discrimination?what would happen if he invited all of them together? Y do preach against racism but practice indirectly?he practised racism but because the other players are not from the northern Ghana.so among the numerous problems in Ghana sports,is it only the ayews he shows interest?is this not hypocrisy partiality and discrimination?

Owusu Bempah Hit the nail on the head. Amen don't waste our time. i RESPECT Abedi but he is gradually loosing the respect. He and two sons want to turn our football into politics. They should back off.

I may not be very comfortable with Owusu Bempah describing them as terrorist I believe he was right. The GFA has done it's best in trying to bring these boys back but they believe they are above Ghana football. Can they tell us that issues that led to their "retirement" have been resolved with the intervention of the president? The president is setting a bad precedent just as he did when he called the teachers to the flagstaff house. We are aware of the doctors' stance thereafter. Any of our current crop of players can also "retire" and expect the president to intervene.
What was Mohammed Amin's problem? He's a sycophant, and in my opinion looking for an opportunity to be heard by the president - stomach journalism.
Mr. President, you are the father of the nation, but please you must not come down and be doing the job meant for the GFA. Thanks!

This is stupidity. Football is one of our pride and joy as a country. It brings joy and happiness to the country. Kiss my ass and think as a human, not as an ass. Idiot. Before he was president, he was human.

I find it very difficult to believe enlightened people could behave and talk the way you just did. Do you mean Dede and his brothers are mediocre players? and they were also called because they are northerners? When will we stop this tribal talk? What a shame to hear that from you. You did not even have the gut to write your proper name. Let me tell you for a fact that, these boys are better players than you, your entire family and your generations yet unborn.

Mr Bempah said nothing wrong, I believe our president has a lot to do than to meddle in something as talking the Ayew brothers to come play for the black stars. Where is this done? Did they (Ayews) consult with the president before the went away, why do they need him to come back. I have nothing against the Ayews they are good players but discipline must prevail in camp.

Didn't ex-president Kuffuor intervened in 2008 when Asamoah Gyan threatened to quit the Black Stars? Does it mean Kuffuor didn't have anything to do?

Asamoah Gyan's case is far different from the ayews.in Ghana 2008, ghanaians threatened Asamoah Gyan and his family 's lives.so in order to safe his life family,he had to leave camp.President KUFFOUR by then did not invite Asamoah Gyan single handedly. He rather went to camp and talked to the team as a whole and advised Gyan to stay because there an ongoing tournament Ghana.after 2008,Asamoah again missed two crucial penalties one being world cup and the other African cup.after those penalties,Ghanaians stood against him against. Psychologically was not alright for missing those crucial penalties and life threatening.so if president KUFFOUR did,he did it only when it mattered most and not discriminated as president Mahama has done

The method of intervention notwithstanding. The fact still remains that Kuffour intervene. Mahama is not obligated to use Kuffours method.

The President's intervention in this matter is irresponsible to say the least. This matter should be dealt with within the Gfa corridors, no more. By the way who do these two think they are? their arrogant Dad should tell them this is the country that produced Ahmed Polo,Osei Kofi, ABEDI AYEW PELE and a whole lot of world class footballers which these two are not. Abedi should also know that his sons are not within miles of the maestro he was. My point is no one player is indispensable to Ghana football and that the key to success in this sport [isn't any?] is discipline so he should start teaching them a lesson or two in that category since they can use a ton of it. Finally let these boys understand that at any given era Ghana has enough talent to beat any African side on an average - good day. I hope Mayele will be man enough not call them through the qualifiers.

The president's so-called intervention brings to mind what the great author George Owens said in His book, The Animal Farm; All men are born equal but some are more equal than others." It seems to me that the president and some Ghanaians think the Ayews are more equal than the rest of the Black Star players. Hmmmm, Asem beba debi. I have nothing against the Abedi players. After all he was my colts playing mate (Great Falcons of Kotobaabi versus Arabian Knights of Alajo) in the late 70s, but his children are taking the country for a ride.

How can Mahama know whether the coach needs the Ayews? Does the availability of the Ayews compel the coach to select them for matches even when the coach has a different idea as to who should play a match? It would have been better if the Ayews had returned to the Black Stars without the persuasion of a powerful politician. So what is going to be Mahama's next move? Is he going to convince Kwesi Appiah to select the Ayews for matches? By his behaviour, Mahama has exacerbated an already tense situation.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE REST OF THE TEAM SAY THEY ARE NOT GOING TO PLAY. THE AYEW BROTHERS ALONE CANNOT MAKE A TEAM. MAKING A BIG MISTAKE BY ADDING THEM TO THE TEAM. JUST LEAVE THEM ALONE IF THEY SAY THEY ARE RETIRED. WE MAKE THEM FEEL THAT THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO ARE SAVIORS AND CAN SAVE THE NATION. AS A MATTER OF FACT THE NATION IS DOING MUCH BETTER THAN WHEN THEY WERE WITH THE TEAM. POOR MOTHER GHANA.
