Are you saying we should continue being foolish when dealing with white people but stingy with our own? we continue to be slaves, this time psychologically. Sad at comments disagreeing with the writer of this noble piece. Is it because our leaders are able to get huge chunks of part of the money paid to the whites? I wonder how many Africans are treated exceptionally because they are expats in Europe. God help the black race.

Nana K Agyeman is beong dishonest. If he himself is offered 1/2 what KA is receiving he will jump at it. We are no longer excited for merely qualifying for rhe world cup. Let KA perform on the bigger stage and we will give him a bigger and better contract. By the way when a European leaves his country to work for us you dont expect a Ghanaian to receive the same thing. Let KA go to an European country to coach snd see if he would not be paid more. By the way, when KA signs a contract, ehy do you expevt him to be paid more than what the contract stipulates?

Agyeman's point is that the ex-pats already had respectable contracts before the qualifiers for afcon an the wc even began.

Agyeman was only wrong on 2 facts:
1. Appiah did not serve under Duya.
2. Milo was making 50,000 per month, not 45,000.
After the wc in 2010, he wanted 100,000 per month.

There seems to be a concerted effort to influence how Ghanaians perceive Akwasi Appiah, and consequently, to influence his re-appointment or pay increase. We have seen this approach in our politics, where some individuals or a group of people strongly campaign for people who simply do not qualify to occupy any position. Ghanaian politicians have been able to convince Ghanaians that simply voting for a candidate will bring prosperity, and we believe them. We all can testify if this has ever been true in our history.

I sense similar approach here, where some individuals are trying very hard to convince Ghanaians that Akwasi Appiah is the best in the world. Where are the trophies to show? Ghana has won nothing since he was appointed (given the quality of players we have now), so it beggars believe that people are campaigning for him. Is this not the typical Ghanaian way we approach issues? Only a miracle can untie us from the web we are caught in, if we don't change our ways.

The argument put forward is flawed. Kwesi Appiah signed the current contract and he could have negotiated for a bigger salary. Also the expats are paid more for the simple reason that they need extra incentives- good accommodation , transport etc. Does Kwesi Appiah deserve a raise surely, but he also needs to ask the GFA and not expect them to voluntarily increase his wages. Having said that the GFA need to recognize a job well done and reward him. He needs a good agent.

KA signed a contract through 2014 for $20,000 and he has to honor the contract. There was no incentive clause to increase his salary after qualification. Coaches are paid based on the revenue generated by the team. He would have his chance to earn more (either in Ghana or outside) after his performance at the world cup. The fact that they over-paid the last 2 exp. coaches doesn't mean they have to over pay KA.

If you hire a proven European coach then you pay him top dollar. If you hire a local coach then let him prove himself before you pay him the same as a European coach. This is not about rascism. If you had the talent locally you would not have looked outside so logically you pay a premium for getting an outside coach. When KA does well at the World Cup then pay him the same or more as any European coach because he would have risen to the same or higher standards. Prove yourself on the European or World stagee (not Africa) and then you're worthy of what you are asking for. Now, someone making $20,000 or at least 40,000 Ghana cedis to do a job where his team plays maybe 6 times a year if that, and does not need all that. Why is he feeding his entire hometown? Come on. Prove yourself and get the same or higher salary.

Some comments about Africans hating themselves and so on are wide of the mark. There are instances where as Africans we show a lack of appreciation for ourselves and our countries but this is not a good example.

Appiah has done well, but his contract was agreed on the basis of his previous experience which was assistant head coach, there were no trophies, no coaching badges or experience with other African teams/countries let alone teams outside of Africa. So who in their right mind would pay someone more compared to any coach, white, asian or latin american if you don't have the same level of experience.

If Appiah was like Otto Addo experience in the Bundesliga at a top club or Sellas Tetteh proven to win trophies then yes, you could argue paying more, but simply being African and saying pay more for qualifying to the WC is not an exxcuse.

Look at how Tetteh is now negotiating with Ismali to be the first non Arab coach, do you think it's because he is black that they said ok we will or won't consider him...no, it's his proven record.

Some of you who are screaming now for an increase were you shouting for the same after AFCON 2013.

Let's get things into perspective, if Appiah does well at the WC, because that's what the benchmark will be not simoly qualifying then he will be able to write his own cheque and deservedly so, even it is better given that no African coach has taken an African team far at the WC so imagine if he did, all the world would be at his feet, but that IF he does it, and until he does his salary is fair, although he should (assuming he negotiated with the GFA) receive a WC qualifiying bonus.

Sometimes it looks as if we Ghanaians don't know what we are about, or are downright cheap or maybe envious when we are dealing with our own people.See, we had no problem paying an expatriate coach that much simply because he was white.Do we feel he was more superior to our own KA?You see cheap things will always cost you dearly in the end.Is the GFA stupid,cheap or unappreciative of his services or what?If a coach is not paid well,he commands no respect from his players,that's why they are easily influenced through bribery.Pay the guy well and give him all the tools and incentives to be successful!GFA,quit being cheap and stupid, and come out of your pockets to remunerate your coach decently.He deserves it more than even the GFA chairman!Come to your senses,fools.

Please 20,000 dollars is about 40,000 Ghana cedes this is ok if not too much. we may have spent more on expatriate coaches,but this is to be spent in their home countries where the economy is different (I am not an economist). To pay Akwasi Appiah 250,000 dollars is just breaking the central bank. Ask your self what the President of the Nation receives, what article 71 office holder receive and convince me that Akwasi Appiah works more any other Ghanaian. Lets be realistic and know there are people in this country who have no portable drinking water, can't afford 3 square mills a day, live in absolute poverty. Yes we are sports enthusiast but times come when we have to be realistic.
