Mahama is a joker.What a Mahama we have. This Bole Mahama is a joker=clueless=confuse=calamitous. In this day and age you defend clear violation of our own laws by BOG???????? Your counterpart President in Brazil, a woman is not allowing the Blackstars to violate their contry laws on transfer of cash from Brazil. She is getting a cool $17,000 per player on their $100,000 your illegally transfer from the shores of Ghana to Brazil. The so called young and youthful president did not consel his young Blackstars to accept cash electronically. What is shocking to most young men in Ghana and across the world is that this a president who uses ipad, tablet,facebook,twitter,viber,wahtsap,email outlook, Skype and other social meia to communicate to the young generation. Mahama is a ridicule and a laughing stock as the world was shock to hear that Ghana was lifting $3m in a chartered plane (Ibrahim Mahama plane of course) to Brazil for Blackstar appearance fees.

Kevin Prince Boateng has called the entire Black Stars World Cup campaign in Brazil "amateurish" in his first full interview since being sent home from the tournament.
In a no holds barred interview with German news outlet Bild,Boateng revealed the circumstances that led to the deterioration of order in the Black Stars camp and also denied ever being rude to Kwasi Appiah.
"I am very, very disappointed. It just wasn’t a good time.
The nightmare lasted from the first day of the preparations until the very end.
I would never have thought that the preparations and the World Cup itself could be so badly organized. The hotels, the flights – everything was amateurish.
We flew from our first training camp in Amsterdam to Miami. But we flew in two groups, because apparently there wasn’t enough space for all of us. One group went via Atlanta, the other one via New York. We sat at the airport for nine hours and the whole trip was 19 hours. And…
The flight from Miami to Brazil a week later was 12 hours. We flew economy class, all cramped. The legs hurt. It may sound weird for normal people, but for professional sportsmen it’s an impertinence.
Our president [GFA president], his wife and his two kids sat in business class on the same flight. In Brazil we finally got a chartered flight. But then the officials managed to lose my luggage somehow. I didn’t have my football boots for some days, no tapes, nothing. It was disastrous.
The only hotel were we could really prepare in was the one in Miami. We moved in there after we complained because the players didn’t want to stay at the other one.
Boateng also told Bild the team's accommodation before the 2-1 loss to USA was less than satisfactory.
"Before the first WC game against USA we slept at a hotel, I call it a fleabag, which was definitely not recommended by FIFA. There was a severe water damage, the rooms were wet. I had to change rooms, my room had turned into a private swimming-pool because of the water dripping from the ceiling. "
The Schalke star also laid into coach Kwesi Appiah,revealing he had been led to believe he would have a starring role with the team and was surprised to sit out Ghana's opening game.
"Very surprised. It was him who kept talking about me as the leader and who had declared his confidence in me. I have never had a problem with him and I have always behaved positively. But if somebody asked me whether he is a good coach… No.
No. But I respect him as a person, like I respect everyone. I have always accepted and respected all decision that he made. I’m just wondering why he begged me to play for Ghana when I was still at AC Milan. Then I make a comeback and suddenly I’m not playing anymore. The president was at one of these talks as well. He gave me his word that we were going to have better travel, better organization and better preparation. He didn’t keep the promise. In the end I was just dissatisfied.
On the issue of bonuses which sparked an international media frenzy,Boateng said it was the least of the team's problems during the World Cup.
"No. That has become part of it and it’s nearly normal. That was the smallest problem. But everything kept stacking up over the whole month. It was catastrophic. The practice conditions, sleeping conditions, everything. I just wonder where all the money goes.
The GFA makes so much money from sponsors, through FIFA. And it’s certainly not spent on hotels, flights, the squad and the preparations. "
Boateng also spoke of the poor team spirit that existed among the playing" bodies and accused some of his team mates of being hypocrites.
"No. It wasn’t a real team. Everyone was occupied with himself, everyone was talking bad about each other. There were two or three players who were happy about Sulley Muntari’s and my suspension. And those players exactly had told me that I was right about everything. Everyone knows that I have never insulted the coach. But they spoke against Sulley and me in front of him.
But still, the GFA released a statement saying that you have insulted the coach. People started saying that Boateng couldn’t control himself once again.
I don’t care about that at all. I’m very relaxed because I know for a fact that I have not done anything like that. "
No human being is perfect. But again: No. I have just stated my opinion. There was no player who was happy. We had a perceived 100 meetings with the delegation. We told them that there are countless things that need to be changed. That’s why I’m an easy prey. "
Boateng also said he was an easy scape goat to have because he always spoke his mind on issues and this did not go down well with officials whilst also explaining his side of the story in the incident that led to him being kicked out.
"Because I said to their faces that they are liars who permanently make promises that they never keep. We were lied to constantly.
Like I have said before: Sulley and I were joking around at practice. The coach stopped, we said everything was OK. Suddenly I had to go to the locker room. Later I asked the coach whether he had something against me. He shouted at me and insulted me, for example by saying “Fuck off”. Due to the rush there was a mix-up with dates. The incident happened four days before my suspension.
If I had insulted the coach back then, why was I suspended much later on Thursday?
"On Wednesday there was another meeting with the delegation. That’s when I told the officials that they were lying to us, that they were making hollow promises. Four days after the incident at practice and a day after the meeting I found a white piece of paper under my door, saying I was suspended. I think everyone knows the reason. The president just turned the tables.
There’s no need to. They have basically thrown me out. I love the country and the people. But under circumstances like this it’s hard for any sportsman to carry on. I will go on holidays right now and I’ll return to Schalke with full force in mid-July. I’ll take it from there."

I learnt about this taxation episode by the Brazilians authorities on Friday which wasn't a surprise to me. First of all, Mr. Mahama and his governemt are so fools to move ($3 million)in cash to a foreign country to pay its citizens. The cost involved in this exercise can build at least 2-Senior High Schools with the state-of-the art IT Equipments. The players were not there as hostages whose lifes were in danger to accord such move by the government.
Mr. Mahama and his government infringed the global monetary policy set in place about movement of money by any individual. Most countries have adopted this policy by allowing travellers to carry with them only $10,000.00. The Sports Ministry and GFA could have worked a plan with the players prior to their departure by collecting their Bank Accounts and making either direct deposit to those who have accounts in Ghana and make wire-transfer for those who have overseas accounts and making the appropriate tax deductions.
The Brazilian Immigration is of good heart to allow them the $20K quota and as far as the payment was made in Brazil, they will pay taxes on it unless FIFA and Ghana Government intervene on their behalf. What a stupid and irresponsible government that people created of ignorance have voted to impose on people created of goodness. E&OE.

I do not blame the Black Star Players because they are all NAIVE and uneducated with difficulty to apply their natural knowledge except how to play football.
Playing football for Ghana at the world stage is an ambassadorial and privileged position.
The Govenment of Ghana with advice from the Finance Minister should have known the consequences of airlifting $3.8m to pay the players in Brazil. Mr. Seth TEKPER is himself a TAX EXPERT but I strongly believe that his advice was over-ruled by his colleagues.
In the eyes of the entire world Ghanaians are very stupid, but in reality this is not so: In fact I am not.
Go and tell President Mugabe of Zimbabwe to airlift $3.8m to pay his players in Brazil and listen to what he will tel you.

Blame the greedy corrupt officials including the Mumu coach. FIFA provides 8million dollars to each team for the group stage. It is not the Ghana gov't money. It is not for balancing their budget. In any case, did it occur to the so-called authorities that the money could have been wired into the accounts of these players. Everybody knows Muntari and Boateng don't need that 100,ooo dollars from Ghana gov't. How else could the less fortunate ones have been paid if somebody did not act.

I am sad that AFRICANS we don't grow from our PRESIDENT to last BABY, even the educated ones play childish than uneducated we can not manage our affairs only few who are honest and to get them together is not easy.
He played poor so kwarasay will look bad and be replaced by dauda. Boye is just a useless defender. When dauda took over, boye still played bad. Waa look! USELESS is useless no matter where you are!

BLAME THE GFA, THE SPORTS MINISTER AND THE GOVT NOT THE PLAYERS!!
Why do we always blame the victim?? Pointing the finger away from where it needs to, & should have been pointed in the first place. Had the authorities, be it, government of Ghana, GFA or whomsoever, paid the appearance fees ...

It was all aluta, cash or we no go play. They wouldn't hear anything else. Now it's their loss. Unpatriotic brats -- they held a gun to the head of Ghana and Ghanaians. Not even hired mercenaries would have done this.
