Accra is the national capital. Workers at the various ministries live in Accra with their families. The government of Ghana in order to achieve its objectives has been holding a series of workshops in batches, sometimes lasting for more than a month, for officials from all districts of Ghana. A disturbing trend has been noticed. All these workshops are being held in the Ashanti Regional capital.

This is disturbing for 2 reasons. Firstly because the capital is Accra the government officials have their homes in Accra and not the Ashanti Regional capital. The government therefore has been paying hotel bills for these government officials to stay in the Ashanti Regional capital throughout the duration of the workshops. If the workshops were held in Accra there would be no need for money for their accommodation. The additional expense is so enormous that it could have been used to contruct schools and clinics in many needy communities across the country.

Secondly this is leading to strained family relations as government officials are spending more and more months in a year away from their families who live in Accra.

The President, Parliament, Journalists and the political parties must ensure that all such workshops are held in Accra.

Democratically Repressed Africa!
Now, you understand why I mentioned to simply beat eq.Guinea by 1 goal. This is a govt and a people with no basic understanding of democracy. All they know is force, without Dialogue. Can you blame them for their brute, uncouth behavior? NO! Their democracy and option for public opinion and free speech have been repressed by their dictator Obiang. Caf should immediately stop hosting afcon tournaments in such democratically repressed nations going forward. Will such horrific episodes occur in ghana, naija, South Africa, egypt, Kenya, angola, Senegal? NO! Like I keep saying, gfa have themselves to blame. You continually beat your chest like an orangutan and call yourself "Ghana: Brasil of Africa". Yet look at the deplorable soccer infrastructure in the country? What happened in equatorial guinea was.horrible but in a way I don't blame them. When morocco pulled out, no nation wanted to host the tournament. Those who wanted to simply didn't have the infrastructure. So I don't blame the eq.guineans becos, had it not for being for them. This tournament wouldn't have happened anyway. Eq. Guinea invests their oil money in better sports infrastructure. What is Ghana doing with theirs? These monkey politicians are stuffing their bank accounts with it. Caf, stop hosting afcon tournaments in these non democratic african nations. It's for the good of the continent.

What about banning EquaGuinea from the next 5 Afcons?

That should send the "fans" a message that we're no longer in the 20th century; that when you lose, you just wait for your next game, next qualifiers, next tournament; that anger-venting does not reverse the scores.

Bar them from the 3rd-place game and call in Tunisia .

I doubt they will come, but invite them anyway.

CAF do not have the manhood to ban Equatorial Guinea. Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo the longest serving President in Africa is the best friend of Issa Hayatou. They do not even want them to play their last game behind closed doors/in camera and without spectators they are using the so-called spirit of Fair-play and brotherhood. CAF told Tunisia to apologize did you read anywhere asking Equatorial Guinea to do the same.

Slap on the wrist, akin to a baby slapping the hind quarters of an elephant. Ghana vs Côte d'Ivoire, Ghanaians in Abidjan, "me su mo kose, kose", if Ghana wins on Sunday. CAF, the spineless and den of FIFAthieves could have waited until Monday, and safe from Nguema, let the hammer fall for such aberrant behavior.

Ivorians are not silly like the E.Guineans. They will not behave like that because these two countries are sisters. They have some Akan tribes among them.

FIRST, CONGRATULATIONS to our Black Stars boys, Coach Grant and the GFA management team for getting Ghana to the AFCON finals on Sunday (2/8/15). Our prayers and support are with you.

However, just yesterday I had a literary dispute with some guy, called Tony, for dragging the Guinean Goalie to court for hurting Asamoah Gyan—because in his mind what the goalie did was "intentional."

But, intentional or accidental, "contact sports rules" don't include "lawsuits", but Yellow or Red card, Monetary Fines, and Sanctions or banning a player from some games and that's what has happened to the national team of Equatorial Guinea for their fans violent behavior against Ghana's Black Stars. You can’t take anybody to court—player or fan.

Although people may have their rights to express their opinions yet, heck, express commonsense opinions in the public domain. Secondly, you may be entitled to your opinion, but not your own facts and the facts don’t include “lawsuits” against reckless players in contact sports.

Finally, Ivory Coast could be a formidable opponent in the finals, but I hope the Black Stars will emerge as winners by a 2-goal margin. GOOD LUCK, BOYS!!

The fans ruined their own situation. They could have enjoyed a great 3rd place game on Saturday and still had a festive atmosphere. Now, they cannot go to that game and they are not going to get any major tournament anytime in the near future. They did a good job down there with the last minute organization and then their foolish fans ruined it. They should not cry when their dictator lines them all up for serious discipline. They have seriously hurt their tourism potential.
