All because, the leaders in Ghana are not committed to their jobs. They are fake. Corruption is what they do best. In every department the leaders are fake and not committed. They are not trustworthy. Leaders lead by example. Ghana will never improve in anything unless our leaders commit themselves to do the right thing. Stop blaming the foreign player's.

Kwabena Yeboah is gradually becoming fake. He probable has links with some of the Ghanaian born players in Blackstar and does not want any competition for them. The Ghanaian players born in Europe with European passports are also Ghanaians by blood. Go to London and Paris, most of these kids speaks Twi and some of our local languages. Majority of them are proud to be Ghanaians and we should be embraced as one of us. They are not the causes of Blackstar problems but rather officials who collect bribes from the Ghana-born ones to force them into the National teams and also those Ghana-born players who backbite the foreign born ones like what APPARENTLY happened in Kwarasey's case. The GFA should open the door for more of these foreign born ones into the U17, U20 and U23 teams. At least they are using their real age and so mixing them with the local ones who reduce their age by 2 or 3 years will not raise too much suspicion. We should not wait till they are fully matured before we chased them to play for us because we only make it hard for them to choose between the country they love and the country that raised them. If we do not consider them into the junior sides they will consider us as a second option.

The key is that when they are younger let them go to Ghana for a week or two and play with the locals. This will alow us to see who is motivated and who will fit in.

Kwabena Yeboah is talking nonsense, like most Ghanaian adults in the media who talk without any sense. Ghana went for these players and not the other way round. The weak players like Albert Adomah, Kwasi Appiah and others paid bribe to get into the GFA but the good once like PK Boateng, Jeffrey Schlupp, Adam Kwarasey, Quincy Owusu Abeyie and Junior Agogo were all pressured by the GFA before they joined the team. These guys were invited when we were dire in need of them. We even went back to beg Kevin Boateng after he's snubbed us for 2 years. For Kwabena Yeboah to sit down and talk this nonsense means he has very short memory. There is nothing opportunistic here. We went for them, they did not come to us.

I think none of the foreign borns join BS with negative motives, but for your corrupt attitudes have detrimental results on their behaviors afterwards: better check your corrupt attitude.

The GFA too must as well respect and honour its obligations towards any player commiting and dedicating his future to the Black stars and desists from the extortions.

Start using English. Twi is NOT official. KPB and co felt unwelcomed when only TWI was spoken at meetings. Why do Akans have to IMPOSE thier language on others? Is Twi the official language of Ghana?

They wanted Dauda to have a good exposure for outside contract after the World Cup and that's why Kwarasey was dumped. This has nothing to do with Twi.

I was also against KPB for 2014. However, I feel it is more about really properly analyzing foreign born players. Remember, Adomah and Kwesi Appiah fit in quite well. It is really about personalities.

You cannot generalize about this. If GFA has clear guidelines, they should be enforced with diligence and all must be treated equally. People take advantage of poorly managed systems.
