Why is it that money due to sports personalities always become a problem in Ghana? If they complain, you say they are not discipline. That is the reason why Ghanaians do not perform well in competitions. There is nothing to serve as motivator to encourage them to perform. Foolish and blind NDC ministers, do your job properly and stop excuses.

The minister is absolutely right! The Black Star players are not sensible. A successful world cup would ensure a windfall for any group of players. They blew the chance. If Ghana had reached the quarter final, Andre Ayew would be playing for a very top European club now. But he was too greedy. He issued an ultimatum--give me the 100 thousand dollars or else I won't play.

The minister of youth and sports in a mundane seat. It has turned itself into seeking sponsorships and funding from corporate organization for national teams. Moys has now become a middleman org. It is useless in my opinion! If national soccer teams, bombers, goc etc need funding. They can advocate for themselves for funding from corporate orgs. They should also go to the minister of finance and seek funding not stop going thru the Moys. Moys should have advocated for the need to extend shs bcos 3ys of shs is terrible for high schools sports and athletics. They haven't! It is now on the gfa, goc, Wgfa, basketball etc to advocate for at least 4yrs of shs. Like opeele said, this will help kids develop at the high school level and give them time to become athletes which will feed the tertiary and the system in ghana. No wonder we are failing...In soccer and athletics bcos the grassroots is not there. No colts, and inter colleges every 2yrs is a joke. Interco must be done everyyr

Ask the minister if he will work if he is not paid. Yes, some of the black star players can be arrogant but give them their due and all shall be cool. Andre is playing in Europe but do you know how much sacrifices he has to give for that. Only in Ghana that per diem will be delayed for sportsmen.

Black Star players have been largely unpatriotic in their demands for huge bonuses and have often threatened to boycott matches if their demands are not met but in all sincerity, how does anyone in his right mind blame them? In broad daylight, the well remunerated servants of state are milking the nation dry. Their rags from riches stories as soon as they hop on the national gravy train is not unknown to the suffering masses. What reaction does Nii Lante Vanderpuye expect from these young footballers when they flaunt their wealth in their faces everyday by sending their kids to the best colleges in the developed world, buy expensive homes abroad, drive gas guzzling trucks with V8 engines around town, wear flashy and expensive clothes and jewelry, talk down on the people on whose backs they sit, etc, etc.without shedding an ounce of sweat themselves?
As students learn from their teachers, children from parents, so do followers learn from their leaders. They follow them because they adore them and they are their role models. Ghana is not a rich country and it continues to reel from the effects of under-development and mismanagement of its resources so why do state officials live off the bent backs of the majority poor population? Mahama received bribe from a Burkinabe contractor and later gave Akua Donkor two cars and a house for no work done. Eyes are watching and ears are on listening mode.
It's said that when the head moves the rest of the body follows so why is Nii Lante surprised about the exorbitant demands of the players?
The people of Ghana expect them to lead and they will follow whichever way they lead them. As of now the footballers are merely mimicking their leaders with the predators instincts. Nii Lante, you haven't seen nothing yet! The day is coming when the simmering pot of water will boil over and you and your ilk, the blood sucking leeches will be chased with clubs, machetes and guns and there will be no place to hide.

MR VANDERPUYE, THE SPORTS MINISTRY SHOULD TAKE SOME BLAME FOR ALL THE UNFULFILLED PROMISES OVER THE YEARS.
REMEMBER, FIFA ALWAYS ADVANCE SOME MONEY TO COUNTRIES FOR PREPARATIONS WHEN THEY QUALIFY FOR THE WORLD CUP. THEN THERE IS THE REIMBURSEMENT FOR APPEARING. WHAT HAPPENS TO ALL THAT MONEY BECAUSE WE DON'T SEE ANY IMPROVEMENT IN THE COUNTRY'S PLAYING FIELDS. ABOVE-ALL WHEN A TOURNAMENT IS ORGANIZED, THE MONEY HAS TO COME FROM GOV'T COFFERS. DON'T BLAME OTHERS WITHOUT INCLUDING THE BIG ROLES YOUR MINISTRY PLAYERS IN IT. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING DISCIPLINED AND PATRIOTIC AND BEING STUPID. THE BOYS WERE FED UP WITH THE LIES AND ABUSE OF OFFICE BY OFFICIALS; IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DISCIPLINE. BUT THEN IT IS EASIER TO KEEP THE BLAME SO FAR AWAY FROM THE DOORSTEP OF YOUR MINISTRY AS POSSIBLE.
GUESS WHAT; SOMETIMES IT IS BETTER TO SHUT UP THAN TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TIMES, NII LANTE.

Mr.minister,that black stars I recent times has brought more glory and put Ghana on the map more than any sports man or woman has done in a while what happened in Brazil 2014 could have been avoided if your useless party and government had kept there part of the bargain with the team.The players should just play any how and get Ghana bootered out of the completions they take part in and he he government of the minister will be happy. You are a sum ass of a man,let the disciplined runnersgo and represent Ghana,if your bloody government with that thief of a minister had paid their monies the players would not have hone on aluta.You pretenders cried at the commission set up by your government, and what happened you came up under your government concept of"co ephicient"to put the money in your pockets.Do not not waste our ears,leave the players to do what they know best, pass the rotund ball among them selves and bring more glory for mother Ghana.Your just a uncultured swine.
