Congratulations! Some people would rather hide this story from their child so she won't feel bad, but if you have a daughter it's good for them to hear stories like this. Teenage pregnancy is not the end of the world.

It is not the government's responsibility to provide her with training equipment, accommodation,etc as she and coaches are saying. If she has any intention of continuing running, then she will be well advised to turn professional. As a professional athlete, she will gain sponsorship from an athletic shoe companies like Adidas, Nike or Puma. A sponsor will fund her training and living expenses thereby giving her the opportunity to train and compete, without any financial worries. Short of that she can enlist in the armed forces where she can pursue her graft as an amateur athlete.

This young lady has done so well to bring some semblance of great honor to us and all she gets is a paltry GHC10,000 from the President?

If footballers and "ball boys" to the World Cup get $100,000 for appearance fees what is wrong with $50,000 as winning bonus.

There is some thing really wrong with us as a nation.( My Chinese friend would yell out loud..."sum tin wong")...lol

Please pay the girl now!

OMG!I just watched the lady on youtube and I bet you this lady DESERVES $100,000 or more. All those useless "ball boys" Muntari whacked were paid hefty amounts for doing NOTHING, and this young lady only gets GHC10,000 from the Prez? Is it even worth dying for our country?

I hope she does not change her nationality pretty soon. These are some of the talents some European nations target, so let's be careful.
