    Just cancel the tournament, that's all! Human live is at stake. The blackman is so complex, simple understanding is our problem.

  • The Stallion 9 years ago

    But why did Morocco allow Guinea to play their home matches in Morocco? Don't the Guineans have the virus?
    Do you see why you Africans are called monkeys?

  • sidder 9 years ago

    the stallion i dont agree with you here.that match was just a single one,and you cant compare it with a whole tournament where thousands of every country's supporters are attending.BOYCOTT 2015 "EBOLA" AFCON.

    What is so extraordinary about the AFCON 2015 that if we do not postpone it then what? The guy whose picture is posted above is called Issa Hayatou. He is Cameroonian national. Last time I checked Cameroon has never held the ...

    Issa Hayatou, the current president of CAF is a Cameroonian. If he so hell bent on hosting the 2015 AFCON at all cost against common sense in the outbreak of Ebola in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, let the fool host it in ...

    Right on the money let this power drank Cameroonian take it to Cameroon you know why Hayatou would not do Boko Haram.

  • Francis C. Quainoo 9 years ago

    I personally don't think for a minute that hosting it in any AFRICAN COUNTRY is a good idea either. Simply because the love of the Sport would most probably attract very large enthusiasts to flock to any particular country; t ...

    This I agree with you,something is wrong with that CAF that cannot get it.
    All African countries should just tell that CAF that they are not ready to see where they will take the tournament,may be the executives host it in t ...

    This shows that CAF executives don't reason. Mahama should not play politics with this. He should simply tell CAF in plain language that Ghana cannot host the games until a vaccine or cure has been found for Ebola.

  • Mr.N 9 years ago

    The only reason why The Stallion want the Afcon to go on was to give him an excuse to get into V-Power. Morocco allowed Guineans for one reason all the Guinea players do not live in Guinea but the tournament is open to everyo ...

    Excellent comment, we know that thousands of Africans living in West Africa will welcome the opportunity to leave for Morocco, in order to get to Europe. There are many implications we ordinary, politically (un)interested cit ...

    We are not monkeys but money conscious.I believe those greedy pharmaceutical companies are the ones influencing Morocco not to host until they have made their money out of their vaccinations.

  • Sule 9 years ago

    How is the afcon connected with any vaccinations? Please think before spewing forth nonsense about this important matter! How are pharmaceutical companies connected with this useless afcon? Has anybody been able to invent a v ...

    Are you also a monkey? Talk sense buddy, fool.

  • Frank 9 years ago

    The Stallion,your comments are stupid and your stupid friend Rasheed is also backing you. His father(Rasheed) is rather the monkey. Foolish man.

  • Rasheed 9 years ago

    Thank you very much for the insult.Bravo.

  • Petint 9 years ago

    You The Stallion or what ever you call yourself, YOU ARE THE BIGGEST MONKEY. If you value AFCON 2015 so much then call for it to be played in your country irrespective of whether you are African or non-African.

  • IQ 9 years ago

    What is so special about football that a country would have to risk the lives of its citizens to host the tournament? The tournament should be suspended til 2016.

  • Rasheed 9 years ago

    Why is Morocco not cancelling the world club championship in December?.Or is it not human beings that are going to watch?.

  • Smart Essel 9 years ago

    Morocco has taken the best decision ever by opting out of the tournament.It appears CAF is trying to be insensitive here and I commend Morocco for taking a bold decision not host the tournament.

  • Kwame USA 9 years ago

    CAF is corrupt they want to make money at the expense of dying people.

  • Aden 9 years ago

    "CAF is corrupt" so is the rich and powerful of the whole world, EBOLA creation is the next phase of Holocaust so to speak, eradication/de-population of the poor(third world)

  • onjiga 9 years ago

    The best, sensible and reasonable thing to do is just postpone the tournament. The other option could be given the hosting rights to Cameroon if Hayatou is bent on not postponing the showpiece hence Cameroon is country capabl ...
