This buffoon of a leader wants ebola to come to his country to kill all his people,so that he and his family will get the chance to chop all the oil money.The Americans shd have killed this President instead of Gaddafi.

Let's wait to Nov. 19 when Guinea plays Uganda in Casablanca. They will smell pepper. We shall go with a full-loaded plane and pollute them with the virus.
Morocco should be banned forever, for them to go and join Europe. Dan duruwa!!!

I take this opportunity to thank the government of Equatorial Guinea. By the way, I won't you monitor Mr.N during AFCON 2015,and if you see him watching any of the matches, let me know. I will have him flogged very well.

Euatorial Guinea just like Morocco and unlike Ghana cannot easily be reached by road from the Ebola affected nation. An effective concentrated screening and monitoring to eventually control to contain the spread of the disease can be better be implemented at airports and even seaports that at entrypoints by road. I am very much relieved that Nigeria is not going to host it. If Nigeria were to host it a lot of pressure and responsibility would have been on Ivory Coast and Ghana at their various uncontrolable borders. You see prevention is always better than cure. Common sense must reign over emotions. CAF and Africa can only stand to the test if and only if there is no spread after the AFCON 2015 or at worst its ability to contain the spread at the shortest possible time.

“I can tell you that within the next five days an announcement will be made to indicate the country, and it’s not too far from Ghana – just two hours drive from Ghana that will host the competition.” - JAWULA, just yesterday.

Equatorial Guinea!
"Just two hours drive from Ghana".

Even a straight-line lagoon-to-lagoon drive can't do you 2 hours.
Why not say "just two hours flight"?

Fools for leaders.

Equatorial Guinea is part Island part Continental. However, since it is hard to get to, I can definitely see how it is a good choice. No one is going there unless they have significant income. The games might not be well attended but their locals will make some decent money off of the few who do go.

the CAF president must be really educated about the fast spreading deadly Ebola virus. Am not sure he is aware of how deadly the virus is. I hope all African countries will withdraw from participation

You are the one who needs education. If you know how weak the Ebola virus is, and you know how many children die from malaria everyday, you'll realise Ebola is nothing. I have good knowledge of what I'm talking about.

CAF is been controlled by FIFA, so CAF has no power to say no! the association has become corrupt to the extend that nothing can be done. UEFA controls FIFA, then FIFA controls CAF and the rest of the 3rd world countries.

Ebola is not airborne...the WHO has okayed the tournament to be hosted in morroco and still the authorities in Casablanca wont reconsider their decision.
Fine , if they choose to not host the tourney due to health reasons and their citizens come first before caf , alas so be it . But when expects on the field of their phobia are rubbishing their concerns , mind you ' it wasn't caf rubbishing morroco,s fears here my brothers and sisters; no it was the WHO.
They felt the stigmatization and the fear mongering that has already spread like wild fear the world over will only be highten by morroco,s over reaction of pulling out of the tourney via postponement.
Morroco has a long history of selling out , they sold our whole continent to the Europeans ... Colonization and transatlantic slavery all begun with morroco,s judas like extracurricular. Have said my peace ...

I suspect Eq. Guinea will do a great job and Morocco will be doomed. They picked their regular European tourists dollars over AFCON. I suspect they might face some serious long term discipline.
