It’s okay to celebrate a win but this is too much. The money spent in organising this hero welcome can help the poverty in Bostwana.

The celebration is necessary. The feat is unprecented in their history infavt how many agrican nations have won gold andnsilver in one Olympic games? They deserve to spend and enjoy be ause this feat does not happen often. Win big and celebrate big. Next Olympics they will be motovate# to bring more medals and meanwhile meanwhile called Lilliput and Africa the boastful ones will go to Los Angeles and return empty handed like humpty dumpty. Money comes and goes this is what greedy women must know and choose a man with principles and loyalty dont just go after a dumb dude with money who don't give a damn about you because when you are sick ......

This te ogo he is kwasiaa paaa I saw him run in the heats in the 400 × 4 relay heats against the same eventual American team. In the heats I believe the semi final heats Botswana won by a large margin but he tebogo wasn't the anchor and it was also by him that gave the Botswana team a large gap so I was expecting Botswana to use the same strategy to win gold in the final but no this selfish tebogo had other plans he told the team that hey let me run the anchor be a

Botswanans do not travel foolishly like Ghanaians because they love what they have in their country. How many Botswanans do you see in Ghana as compared to Ghanaians in that country?

Well, Botswana is not as poor as most african countries are. As a matter a matter of fact, they do way way better in uplifting their citizens more than the rest of African countries. Also it's the least corrupt and manage their resources in a way that benefit their people. My point Tebogo and the rest of the team the massive welcome and I can assure you that the people who organized this event are not going to inflate the money spent to enrich their own pockets like we do in Ghana and Nigeria.

HOGWASH! SMALL JAMAICA ISLANDS EIRH ONLY 2.9 MILLION POPULATION WON 1 GOLD, 3 SILVER, 2 BRONZE.

GHANA, POPULATION 33 MILLION, WON ZERO.

GHANA'S 33 MILLION PEOPLE WON NOTHING AT THE FRANCE OLYMPICS.
SMALL JAMAICA WON 1 GOLD, 3 SILVER, 1 BRONZE.

AT THE JUST- ENDED OLYMPICS GAMES IN FRANCE, GHANA NEVER WON EVEN ONE SINGLE MEDAL, YET GHANA HAS A "MINISTRY OF YOUTH AND SPORT" WITH A LOT OF TALENTED POOR GHANAIAN YOUTH JUST WAITING TO BE IDENTIFIED, NURTURED AND DEVELOPED TO GLOBAL STANDARDS, YET NOT EVEN GHANA'S "EFUOM" PRIMITIVE USELESS THIEVING PRESIDENT HAS QUESTIONED GHANA'S TAXPAYER-PAID
"MINISTER" OF YOUTH AND SPORT WHY GHANA DID NOT WIN ONE SINGLE MEDAL? NOT EVEN A BRONZE MEDAL.

EVEN KENYA PLACED 17 ON THE MEDALS TABLE WITH 4 GOLD, 2 SILVER, 5 BRONZE = 11 MEDALS, WHILE GHANA ENDED UP WITH ZERO (0) MEDAL.

THE ANSWER TO THE ABOVE QUESTION IS NOT FARFETCHED.

LIKE GHANA'S ABUNDANT NATURAL RESOURCES, THE MONIES TO BE INVESTED IN DEVELOPING GHANA'S POOR TALENTED YOUTH ARE WHAT GHANA'S LEADERS HAVE BEEN STEALING AND LOOTING LEFT, RIGHT AND CENTRE.

FOR INSTANCE, A SINGLE GHANAIAN LOCAL CHIEF IS ALLOWED TO CHARTER A PRIVATE JET, LOAD IT WITH GHANA'S GOLD BARS, SELLS THE GOLD BARS, STASHES THE SALES PROCEEDS IN HIS PERSONAL FOREIGN BANK ACCOUNTS, USES SOME TO PURCHASE EXPENSIVE BENTLEY CARS AND TOYOTA SUVs, SHIPS THOSE VEHICLES TO GHANA TAX-FREE, ONLY TO RIDE IN THOSE CARS ON GHANA'S UNPAVED VOLCANIC CRATERED ROADS CALLED POTHOLES.

IF GHANA'S PRESIDENT HAD CONSCIENCE, THAT YOUTH AND SPORTS MINISTER WOULD HAVE BEEN KICKED OUT LONG AGO FOR NO WORK DONE TO JUSTIFY HIS FAT SALARIES AND ALLOWANCES PAYOUTS ALL THESE YEARS. IT'S TAXPAYERS MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN.

GHANA'S LEADERS AND ELDERS HAVE NO CONSCIENCE, SO NONE OF THEM HAVE EVEN DREAMED OF ASKING WHY GHANA NEVER WON A SINGLE MEDAL IN FRANCE. EACH GOLD MEDAL COMES WITH A PRICE AWARD OF US$50,000 TO THE RECIPIENT(S), WHILE SILVER MEDALS COME WITH ABOUT US$30,000 AND BRONZE ABOUT US$25,000. AWARDED BY THEIR RESPECTIVE OLYMPIC ASSOCIATIONS AND NOT THE IOC. IOC AWARDS MEDALS AND PAYS PRICES DIRECTLY TO THE NATIONAL OLYMPIC ASSOCIATIONS.

SUCH AWARDS WOULD NEVER EXIST IN GHANA BECAUSE THE MINISTER AND OTHER POLITICIANS WOULD RATHER HAVE THOSE MONIES IN THEIR PERSONAL FOREIGN BANK ACCOUNTS LIKE THEY WANTED TO TREAT THE BLACK STARS IN BRAZIL.

THAT'S GHANA'S FUCKING USELESS LEADERS FOR YOU!
