Recent events especially the demonstration in Kumasi show that there are competent capable NPP youth who do not hesitate to do the right thing , strategies and planning on scale almost as perfect as a war effort yet remain humble and real down to earth. These so called elders including Nana Addo underestimated these youth and the brain power they have , maybe its time to give way and allow some of these unknown worthy men /women to come forward and lead. we know many of the youth today have been brainwashed by the NDC propaganda into stupidity so do not see the truth. have you ever asked yourself why is it that when they hear the call WE AKANS they go into a stupefied frenzy of hate ? why is it that Akans are now very cautious of even saying who they are and where they are from , why is it that its only the Akans who believed in the melting pot of Ghana and disregarded their diversities . why is it that today in the ministries most traumatized Akans especially the Fantis and Nzemas will only speak Ga or English yet ewes , northerners and others can freely converse in their mother tongue ? Talk about aggressive tribalism and where its coming from , why is this govt and their minority groups continuously trying to marginalize the Akans and undermine every effort at development since the time of Kotoka . Yes its all about the worst kind of tribalism , hegemony , chauvinism , buga buga , propaganda lies and destructive corruption. We must fight even though we shall be branded mad men , cocaine dealers , drug barons and any other personality or character assassination they can think of . We must not allow them to break our spirit with this deliberate agenda to create poverty , divide and rule , no law or justice for the Akan . We must like it or not seriously consider seceding and forming our own state without these Ewes , Northerners and Gas as that way we leave a legacy and better future for our children . No point in having a country and govt that seems to do well only in making our people miserable and poor , that gives our gold fields to enemies who will never invest a single dollar into our economy but rather do everything to weaken our economies to the point were self reliance is impossible . They do this under the guise of proper business that makes the World bank , IMF and European union happy but we need a Mugabe or Chavez who will look out for the interests of our own people FIRST.

When they make arrangements to fly to Brazil to watch the games, that is their private business. Why are they calling on the government to come and help them? By the way, who knows if all these people are going to Brazil because of the WC? Even Ghanaians living in the USA that is so close to Brazil are not going there in such numbers.

If the Travel Agent fails them, all they have to do is to sue the person or company for breach of contract. The President or the Party in power has nothing to do with that. Do you think when Americans have problem with their travel agent or an airline they call on Barack Obama to come to their rescue? Ghanaians think the President is responsible for everything that happens in the country. One cannot find that in any country.

The article doesn't make sense, as the writer is obviously stupid!

Nothing about why the so-called supporters were stranded. Flight delayed? Cancelled, or what?

We are given the impression that they didn't even have tickets, with some moaning about the high price of the tickets. And some saying they must be rewarded for supporting the Black Stars over the years? So are they now trying to get tickets, by hook or crook?

Have they even got visas already?

The impression I got is a bunch of hoodlums who turned up for a rumoured or announced free ride to Brazil for NDC supporters. It is just another bloody nonsense from Ghana!

The headline is misleading. The headline gives one the impression that their flight was delayed or cancelled. It seems that most of the fans do not have visas or cannot afford a flight to Brazil etc. These are issues with either the Brazil embassy or pure economic issues that the fans are facing. Do the fans expect the government to provide them with a free pass all-paid for trip to Brazil? If that is the case, then the sense of entitlement is beyond my comprehension.

From what airline? Why are they asking the government to help? Most supporters from other countries pay their way. Shouldnt it be the same in Ghana? This is what leads to corruption. I wish they'll be that enthused about going to support Ghana through farming or fishing. But no such luck in that decent way of making a living. Rather they want to go and scream and chant for a couple of weeks and come back empty handed. I amsure some are also hoping to land in Brazil and disappear.
