For Goodness sakes, the guy only said people spend too much watching football. Considering that we live in extremely harsh economic conditions, isn't he right?

The problem about all this is that, it is specifically the people for whom football has become an escapists drug - and who need re-orientation, who are kicking against Bediako's comment. Their fate reminds me of those poor accursed souls who are hired to stand in cyanide and arsenic contaminated pits of galamsey river water and who will as a result die in at most five years. They also, will also not hear anything against galamsey. We live to see.

The irony is this dude has no idea or experience about being president, but he gets to filibuster and lecture people about soccer. I wish he had complained about people wasting time by listening to him.

Personally, Ghana has lost its footballing essence, yet as a Ghanaian, you’d rather watch someone else’s investment thrive than work on improving your own. Think about it, bro.

How can the youths of Ghana waste money energy and time to watch league matches of European countries? How many foreign nationals spend money and time to watch African games?

Infact Nana Bediako is right, but may not apply to all because most of the youth dont even have work so some use that time to watch football. However if u leave ur work or use productive hours to watch to the detriment of ur work then is a wrong investment. For Europeans watching, they have good economies and enough savings to loose some hours of work. Secondly pple in Europe do not have social interactions like we have in Ghana/Africa so they use football as the alternative. So individual funs in Africa must analyze their economic status well brfore chosing where to invest their time .

I am a PhD holder, and I used to watch soccer but after years of watching Man Utd and Chelsea what have you gained out of it. You can spend that productive time discussing policies in your communities and how you can help improve the lives of the people. Watching and supporting teams in Europe is a waste of time.

Alright, so Nana just bear in mind that your level of mentality and education is different from this people. And I believe you know why they say customers are always right well they are right because you need them to grow your business. My point is majority of the voters can be likend to customers low minded, low level of education ignorant and a whole lot but at the end of the day you need them to vote for you and after voting for you, you have no business with them and that is what your colleges politicians do. So like customers, who's money you need at the end of the day so is this voters. So you just need to become like them just to get your votes that's why some politicians will go and dine with them and so on and after getting what they want that's all. And let me also add this:- no matter how well you show it people will still believe what they want to believe.

Shallow thinking minds at what ones who will not see the sense in what this man is saying.
Go on and vote for your useless NDC and NPP as usual, it’s no one’s loss but a win for these two cronies of a party and a chance for them to take you people for yet another ride as always since you cannot see a good opportunity infront of you even if it was smeared on your faces. I will choose proper policies and a better system any day over NDC and NPP, the two parties who have helped run down our country. No serious country in this world play around as far as nation building is concerned, cheddar never said he’s against sports he was emphasis the need of nation building above everything especially in a country like ours where there are no proper system in place.
But of course all you jandam party politics boys and girls will flock in here and spin the narrative.
You are welcome to do that, but posterity will judge you all one by one.
Insanity is the definition of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
A word to the wise, is enough!
