Ghana athletes threaten to seek asylum in Scotland
This article is closed for comments.
IT IS ABOUT TIME THE PREZ SOUGHT ASYLUM IN USA TOO
This nonsense is getting to be too much. Seeking asylum because of not getting all the amount owe you is childish & ridiculous. Scotland will never grant your outrageous demand for asylum.
Disgrace to Ghana, this silly things is closing it doors on another athletes, the only good thing that cimes out of this nonsense is bronze, out of how many people, u guys sucks.
SO EVERYTHING IS ABOUT MONEY IN GHANA NOW? WHERE ARE THOSE DAYS WHEN WE RUN AND ALSO PLAY FOOTBALL FOR OUR COMUTY AND REGION WITH SOAKED KENKEY, GLUCOSE AND ORANGES AS OUR ONLY REWARD? BLAME THE NDC ECONOMY ,EVERYTHING IS BAD ...

MR AKONFEM PREZ PLEASE DONT COME TO GHANA! BECAUSE OF YOU GHANAIANS ARE RUNNING AWAY, USE THAT TO SEEK ASSYLUM YOURSELF
After fighting his father's age, the disrespectful and incompetent GOC / Athletics president has poured his heartless attitude on the athletes to the extent of them seeking asylum
Our participation in these tournaments are always huge loss to the nation. With the ailing economy why don't we stop all these loss-making participation and use the money education?
...THEIR MERE FACES EVEN TELL YOU THAT THEY ARE NOT THERE TO DO ANY GOOD RUNNING...
The Athletes are not respected at all,footballers received huge amount at the WC in Brazil,but at the end they were at the bottom of the table.
Ghana should withdraw from participation in sports until such time that the Government can afford the allowances to be paid to the sportsmen and sportswomen. They are making Ghana a laughing stock all over the world.
The per diem idea is a legacy from John A. Kufuor.
Let's save this money because whether we give it to them or not, those intending to seek asylum have their minds made up.
Give it to them at Kotoka Airport when you come back.
What a bunch of opportunistic feeders who want to exploit this mishap as a way to stay in Glasgow.
USELESS Mahama will goal. Downn as the most incompetent President in Ghana history. His impeachment is coming very soon. What a crass excuses of a joke! Pay the athletes their fucking money!
NO, FRANK, WE SHOULD SEND HIM TO DUBAI WHERE HE HAS HIS $1 BILLION HIDDEN.
OR EVEN BETTER, WE SHOULD VOTE HIM OUT IN 2016, ARREST HIM, PROSECUTE HIM AND JAIL HIM FOR CORRUPTION, LARCENY AND FINANCIAL LOSS TO THE STATE.
If the country is hot for you, pack your things & leave. The country is hot for these athletes and I think they are doing what Gen. Nunoo Mensah has asked them to do.
Ghanaians just forgot what transpired in Brazil. Same thing same thing.
Sack Nyantakyi, Appiah, Dodoo, Galley, Mahama, Amissah, Wampah and Terkper.
No no,we should sack the NDC gang,because the only language NDC gang understands is force.J.J.Rawlings the founder is bad luck to the Nation.BETTER GHANA INDEED.
DAVI, YOU ARE A FOOL.
DON'T BE POLITICAL.
A BAD MANAGER IS A BAD MANAGER.
FIRE THE NIGGAS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR PARTY.
ANYWAY, WHICH ON THE LIST IN NOT NDC?
CAN YOU NAME THEM?
CAN YOU PROVE IT?
STAND FOR COUNTRY, NO ...

The culture of per diem is a legacy from 8 years of Kufuor administration
here we go again what is wrong with this government can get his ass together what a shame
What a GOC president! Francis Dodoo is a big disgrace to Ghana and the Olympic family. A NOC president fighting at intl sporting event?
You can demand for the full amount but to use the word asylum is backward and childish.. how is even that possible.. we need to educate our people.
Kwami Kwasea, when did ASYLUM in seeking REFUGE become backward and childish?
You are mentally RETARDED.
Kwami is better informed than you.Why seek an asylum in a foreign country when you dont face persecution in your country of abode? The athletes are blackmailing their country,and they are bluffs.
Thank you also need to be educated on this subject as well so that you guys can understand how one can seek asylum ans get approved but i don't think the players have the understanding about the news there are paddling around ...

Well you are talking about 10 years ago.
Things have changed. When you apply for asylum you will be locked up in a camp, which is basically a prison but they are not allowed to call it that.
You will stay in there for year ...

Don't forget that they will be fed 3 meals a day a dog cared for if they get sick. They won't get this for free in Ghana...even with a fulltime job.
Aduro. Why issue threats. Just do it. Lessons from Brazil.
Oh la la!
The truth pertaining the World Cup in which Sulley and others were involved will definitely come to light slowly. These athletes have threatened to seek asylum if they are not paid fully. Similar situation that caused Sulley ...

We should withdraw from these sporting completions. These non performing reps are disgracing Ghana
99.9% of them either came last or were disqualified .If they think the grass is greener on the other side they should try it and see how tough life is in Scotland and Europe as a whole on asylum seekers. Whether they would be ...

In Ghana the govt is stupid, clueless and don't see humans as wealth but walking carcasses. In scotland, the govt sees an immigrant as wealth that can contribute to gdp and treats them as such.....a number.
What do the authorities on the ground say?
Ghana may have to stop aponsoring participation in all foreign sporting activities.
How many medals have you won for Ghana since the game started idiots
What is wrong with these Ghanaians? What do they know about Scotland? That country is "drier" than Ghana and I will bet that the government will never accept their asylum.
You don`t deserve the remainder. You can go ahead with your asylum claims. You cannot hold the country to ransom. What have you done to deserve $3500.00 per diem?. Where is the patriotism? you guys failed woefully at the comm ...

Who asked the min of.sports, ioc to send these athletes to the games? Most.lf these athletes went there with forged do times. Others simply went under the guise of athletes to seek greener pastures. So who do u blame?
The Scotish Immigration Authorities should prosecute and jail them for fraud.
What a useless bunch, you got a plane to Scotland to come and hold your country to randsome over per diem. People have worked hard in Ghana and have not even been paid their salaries. What have you done in this games to rewar ...

This is the MOST stupid report of a newspaper.
Instead this paper should educate us on what seeking asylum entails
NO FUTURE FOR GHANA STAY AWAY AS YOU CAN SINCE GHANA LEADERS ARE BUNCH OF THIEVES
With all these trouble escalating in Ghana sport, poor leadership is to blame.
