Nyantekyi and his GFA are only interested in collecting their share of bonusess paid to the Black Stars. If they say the local league is attractive then why not use local players for THIS EXHIBITION MATCH?

Edwin Nii Lantey Vanderpuye the self acclaimed Zongo boy who is now Minister but claims in his own interpretation of the 1992 Constitution "no short Ghanaian can be a President" is hurt that the GFA President who is his junior in University (Nii Lantey says he finished University in 1990 obvious nit the GIIMPA law course he run away from) can say without caveat that he Vanderpuye, his Honourable Sector Minister and an elected MP speaks like a serial caller not a Minister. If you talk nonsense and won't apologise what do you expect younger people to do when you demand respect from them. . Nana Addo must be giggling. Imagine when Nana Addo finished university and was called to the bar. Imagine Nana as classmate of Ex-president Mills under whom Nii Lantey was a mere foot soldier and communicator. Imagine when Nana Addo was an MP and Attorney General and Minister of Foreign Affairs, yet Nii Lantey finds it appropriate to talk trash to him. Sani Darah twaso! No baby with sharp teeth who gets under served elevation and wants respect must be given gaaba until they themselves learn to speak decorusly of their seniors in life. Kwasia sem

There is too much confusion as to who is responsible for match logistics and paying player bonuses. Is this match not under the auspices of FIFA? If so, are there not laid down budgetary allocations for financing such matches? Does FIFA not give the MOYS/GFA a percentage of match proceeds after every match to cater for such expenses? So why is the minister claiming that they can not pay for airfares, and that they are cash strapped? This does not make any sense? There should be a budget allocation every year for such expenses. This is very irresponsible behavior from MOYS. If they cant pay bonuses, that is understandable, but to say they did not make any budgetary allocations for airfares and accommodations is highly irresponsible and should be condemned. What a joke???

Ghana is broke, there are areas of players bonus which are yet to pay. The Sports Minister being The Wiseman suggested the coach to go with the local blackstars in other to save and expose these players to the world. How can somebody who love Ghana say no to this.

The gesture by Ayew and others to help foot the bill of Black Stars to help it compete in international competitions is a laudable one but it understates the ineptitude and corruption that may have eaten into the running of our National Sports programs.

I hope the Minister did not only claim that much financial problem to induce the wealthy Players to chip in to help. It would be most deplorable advantage taking of the Players by the Ministry.

If the Sports Ministry does not really have money to pay for all these expenses, then we should ask it where our shares of the proceeds from participation in previous games went.

We have for a long time not bothered to take the Ministry to task on the many irregularities with its finances. But we ought to begin to put things right for good. All the many incidents of lost cash in suitcases, etc. must be the thing of the past.

We cannot sit here and claim competence in Sports and nation-building and go begging for money from the participating Athletes on top of their know-how, expended energies and time to make Ghana proud.

It is a big shame unto the Government! I have come to believe, now, that revenues from our Sports Participation might have been re-channeled elsewhere to plug up massive bleeding of the Economy. Or, the Officials are simply corrupt and stealing the funds. Period!

I thought the placement of Nii Lante at the Sports ministry was a wonderful move. I have changed my mind. He expects the foreign based players to pay their way to play the Rwandan match because the ministry has no money. I find Nii Lante's reason to be infantile. He calls it patriotism for the players to pay their way to Ghana and return without a winning bonuses. Nii Lante should vacate the state bungalow, sacrifice his salary for 3 months and pay to fuel his official car for a year. Oh Nii Lante, why are trying to destroy what has been achieved? Does Nii Lante wish to see nations Ghana return to 90s where nations like Burundi and Sa Leone eliminate us from qualifying for Afcon and World Cup?
