He he he he, Hmmmm, ASEM BEBA DA BI!!!. Crying for help from where? Is the AMA not responsible for the maintenance, operation and ownership of this facility? Did the AMA not tell the whole world the structure is in Accra and therefore it owns it and has the right to change the nationally recognized name of "OHENE DJAN STADIUM" to ACCRA SPOORTS STADIUM because he, Ohene Djan was not a Ga? Let the AMA fix it with their resources and ban the rest of the world from entering it, after all that is what the Gas are preaching these days about everything in the capital to which they contributed only the land. ONLY THE LAND. And mind you, the Government has appropriated much more bigger parcels of land in other areas of Ghana. What about the Forest Reserves and other Government structures and ownership of lands outside Accra? Go figure. LET THE GAS FIX THE STADIUM AND KEEP IT FOR GOOD!!!

REVERT TO OHENE DJAN STADIUM, NOW!
the topic of the AMA being caught in National Democratic Congress politics, especially with the decision to remove the name Ohene Djan from the signpost of the sporting edifice in Accra.
Expect the bearded Mayor to defend his corner. He insisted that the changing of the name was in respect of the exercise of the right of the AMA to name streets and monuments in the national
capital. I put it to him that the renaming of the Jubilee House to Flagstaff House was without the input of the AMA, and that when the Black Star Square became Independence Square the AMA never
raised a finger. I assured him that so long as some of us continue to live, Ohene Djan would be back. He threatened to summon me before the full assembly of the AMA to show why I should not be
disciplined for flouting the rules of the assembly. I assured him that I was prepared to face the Sanhedrin. OKO IS WAY IN OVER HIS HEAD. IF OKO VANDERPUIJE SHOULD CONTEST THE ACCRA MAYORAL JOB
AGAINST A BEARDED, HAIRLIKE MONKEY FROM THE BUSH OF GH NATIONAL COLLEGE.. TRUST ME, THE MONKEY WILL WIN!
HOW CAN YOU COWTE TO THE DEMANDS OF THESE NON TAX PAYING, NON EDUCATED GA YOUTHS N CHANGE THE NAME OHENE DJAN TO ACCRA SPORTS STADIUM. IS OKO ON DRUGS?
THE AMA DOES NOT OWN THE STADIUM. IT IS PUBLIC PROPERTY OWNED BY THE GOVT OF GH. JUST BCOS THE STADIUM IS IN ACCRA DOES NOT MEAN THAT AMA OWNS IT. IF AMA WANTS TO OWN THE STADIUM.
THEY SHOULD BUY THE STADIUM FROM THE GOVT OF GH. THE ONLY RIGHT TO NAME CHANGING AMA HAS IS WITH THE PRIVATELY OWNED PUBLIC TOILETS N GA MANTSE CHIFTANCY SEATS IN ABOSSEY OKAI, MANPROBI, TESHIE, NUNGUA ETC....
I DONT WANT HEAR ABOUT GA DISENFRANCHISING ETC. THATS TYPICAL INWARD LOOKING TALK. THE KMA HASNT CHANGED THE NAME BABA YARA. DO U SEE ANY DISENFRANCHISEMNT FROM THE ASHANTIS?
IF HE IS RENAMING PUBLIC/GOVT PROJECTS WITHOUT WARRANT. WAHT ELSE IS HE DOING UNLAWFULLY WITHIN THE AMA AND IN THE GREATER ACCRA REGION? IM SURE HE IS SERIOUSLY EMBEZZLING MONEY..WAAAAAAA. EMBEZZLING AMA MONEY WAAAA WAAAAA!
FOLKS, HOW CAN Salaries Of Ghanaian MPs BE THE 3rd Highest In The World? HIPC, 3RD WORLD NATION GHANA?...NO WAY!
REDUCE THE SALARIES OF THESE USELESS , OVERINFLATED EGOS N USE THE CASH TO DEVELOP OUR RAILWAYS, HIGHWAYS, MARKETS, STADIUMS, POLICE FORCE, SECURITY AGENCIES.
OH GH. TOO MUCH STRIFE, HUNGER. PPL ARE DISILLUSIONED. THEY DONT EVEN USE THEIR THINKING CAPS ANYMORE. THEY ACT AND BEHAVE LIKE ZOMBIES. ALL BECAUSE OF
CORRUPTION N GREED FROM OUR SO CALLED POT BELLIED LEADERS.
OKO CANT DO THE MAYOR JOB. HE SIMPLY DOSENT HVE THE FORESIGHT, STRENGHT. HE IS NOT ENERGETIC BUT LAZT N OLD.

Only five years after a major renovation? This is a cue to stay clear of the Chinese as they have no clue about the type/treatment of tropical materials to use in constructing structures near the Atlantic ocean. Alternatively, cheap materials were used as has been the bane of constructed structures in Ghana over the past few decades.

The culture of non-maintenance of structures in Ghana must also cease.

It's both shoddy job done and the use of inferior materials. If you built close to the sea, all your reinforcing bars aka iron rods should epoxy coated (none corrosive). You also need a clearance of about half to one inch to serve as concrete covering for a wall. If you used non corrosive rebars, they'll start rusting gradually from the very first day. Our local engineers know better and should not have allowed these to happen. Now that the harm has already been done, they have to plunge into immediate repair work before it collapses. A simple thing they can do is to expose the rust by chipping the surface till they don't find anymore, sandblast the rusts, splice the affected bars and cover them with non shrink cement or a high strength concrete with at least 4000 pounds per square inch. Maintenance is very much needed from now on.

Come see what's going on in Washington DC. Structures built in the 1800's are still standing. Especially if it's has a history that comes along with. It's renovations galore. I've seen many of such renovated and the only time they pull such structures down is when they realize the cost involved in repair will be more than a new one. The foundations can easily be fortified with under pinnings and it'll be very solid as rock.

I do not know when Accra Sports Stadium was first built, but I think it ought to be in the 40s. The stadium, as a premier sports facility, has out-lived its usefulness. How long will the authorities keep on renovating and patching up this antiquated facility? The facility needs to be razed and a new one built in the same location or somewhere else.

Ghana shouldn't spend any gold, diamond, or cocoa money to refurbish Accra Sports Stadium. Since Gas are claiming ownership, and of course guardianship of the everything national on the so-called Ga lands that incidentally were bequeathed to them by the Akwapims, the Gas have a chance to build edifices with their own money in order to have control over them; and even change their names at will. Where is Oko Vanderpuje, and his AMA?

Kwame Osei-Gyamfi, you appear to sound like a tribalist for calling for cutting spending on refurbishing the stadium with funds generated from gold, diamond and cocoa. As much as the stadium doesn’t belong to the Gas, so are the lands that grow the cocoa and produce the gold and diamonds don’t belong to your people; Asantes, Akans, or whatever.

Yes the lands do not belong to the Asantes, Ahantas, Brongs, Dagombas or what have you because we respect that we have a stake in the nation and its government and therefore lands ceded to the state will remain for the betterment of the nation. We will not arrogate to ourselves the impudence of unilaterally declaring every government owned structure or operation on OUR LANDS GIVEN TO THE STATE, be named after our local people or names reflecting our language and TRIBAL IDENTITY, Which if you do not know is exactly what the Gas through their AMA is doing. Stop this nonsense of seeing tribalism through only your narrow slit of fuzzy resolution lenses.

Martin, I do sincerely believe I am gradually achieving my objective with my piece. You see, we have seen so many unsavory attempts by some so called Ga indigenes' that everything on Ga soil is theirs, and to manage whichever way they see fit. And what I am alluding to is that the time is right under the circumstances as being discussed here with regards to the Stadium's condition for them to step forward and be responsible. When Accra Sports Stadium was named after Ohene Djan, it was for a good reason, that soccer as we know today is largely impart due to his good sense of administration back in the 60's. What did the Gas say at the time? They couldn't accept the change, unless it was a Ga personality. When Kuffuor completed his term of office the office allocation was strenuously challenge, and again some so called Gas vowed he couldn't be allowed to have an office on their so called land. I am a Gold Coaster, and can give you a lot of education on that country, as I can deduce you a young person, but the time has come for you young folks to do a lot of research into a lot of the things you see, and avail yourselves of, or better still take for granted before you start calling other people names. I was born in Accra - Kokompe, what your generation calls Kantamanto, so I am no stranger to Accra, and the Gas. A lot of my friends are Gas, but that doesn't stop me from pointing out their shortcomings to them when the need arises. The same goes for the Ewes, Akans, or the northerners.

Sir GHFUO, BE SERIOUS....., you know, I was being sarcastic. Of course the Gas own nothing but what they Gas have built with their meager resources and capabilities, and I mean MEAGRE. It is a joke to cede any national structure, edifice or property to the Gas or any other tribal group. The nation trumps all those inconsequential little tribes. No tribal group in Ghana is bigger than the nation. The whole is bigger than the sum of its parts, this axiom of the predicative calculi cannot be contradicted!!!

Please jojo follow the thread carefully before exposing your lack of understanding of simple texts. Where did anybody in this thread mention that the Ashantis are claiming overlord over Ghana government structures, edifices, LAND and property in Asanteman? And where did anybody say the Asantehene must or is claiming Government properties in Asanteman? When did the Asantes use the production of cocoa, timber or gold in Asante an an argument to claim overlord over anything? Where are the headquarters of the Cocoa Board, Gold and Timber resources located? When did you hear a SINGLE Asante disagree the great name given to the stadium in Kumasi? And if you do not know, the stadium was built by the UAC as a gift to the nation and Kumasi. Your hatred for the Asantes and your innate predisposition to a complex, perhaps inferior, would allow u to be objective and think rationally.
