I always feel sorry for Saddick Adams, because he cares so much about Ghana soccer, and the mismanagement and corruption in the Ghanaian system cannot be cured. So I suggest that he uses hisenergy to rather preach the gospek of Jesus Christ, because this gospel of soccer will yield very little results, whereas with preaching Jesus, he will reap dividends in this life and in the life to come as well. My brother choose wisely, before this corrupt GFA and Ghanaian system gives you a heart attack!!!

We refuse to pay tax yet want the best of everything. I guess the money to be used bybthe state for sports infrastructural development grows on trees. Imagine a statiduim being named after a sitting president or a legend of a player in modern Ghana, he'll will break loose on the radio stations! Yet the Ivorians have shown maturity with such a case and move on because the edifices are for the state. A stadium named after Ohene Djan was shamelessly renamed. Kudos to the Ashantis for maintaining the name Baba Yara for the stadium in Kumasi. Until we stop the useless and backward political jostling, we will continue to mark time in terms of development.

If you guys aren't corrupt, with a penchant of misusing funds, Ghana would have those types of facilities. Case in point, GFA was on the verge of pitching training camp for the Black Stars in South
Africa before public outrage derailed those plans. Why would the team be camping in South Africa when the tournament in Cote D'ivoire is practically next door to Ghana, if not for wasteful spending of the country's meager funds?

Ghanaian is the number one hit hole country in the whole of Africa. Why should politician allow contractors to construct roads with Hugh open gutters all over the country? Are they going to award another contract to cover those gutters in the future? So, no leader can reason and ensure that roads are constructed like Kwame Nkrumah did for Tema. Now to the GFA and its criminals: We should resist future GFA heads and officials to be club owners. Those who own clubs should fully focus in managing their clubs and leave the GFA jobs to old players to manage.
