Ghana goals dutifies Antwerp Police

I was in Cologne to watch the match bringing news to Antwerp Ghanaian Community the day after, when they all started laughing at me.

The whole Africans, Brazilians, Ghanaians, Nigerians, Gambians, Congo/Zarians, concerned Belgian friends, Moroccans, Asians, almost every nationality came at once to the main triangular center in Antwerp called (De Connicksplain) to jubilate the 2 goals from Ghana Black Stars against the Czech in Cologne. The Antwerp Police came to protect the celebration which no one has organized. The beer bars Cafe's) on the area has to order more drinks to supply the random outburst of thousands of dancing public.

The Ghanaian amateur kakabo drummers automatically performed unlicensed to the city authorities, which was also impossible to perform without written letter permission by the city town council. The roads was heavily packed with people so no cars could even move.

My question is, so do Ghana has something about peace and harmonic Love cherished by all humanity to demonstrate this to the world? Football is the easy means to bring this hospitable attitude to learn the whole world. So Ghana have a tedious work to do in bringing the true love of peace to respect the happiness of humanity. Poverty can be eradicated by Ghana's effort to share our universal believes in humanity to the whole world if through football. Imagine another win up to bring home World Cup trophy.

"This will be referred to the kwaku Anansi story of bringing home the dead body of a queen mother to be buried at his village, when all the sympathizers followed the coffin and never return back to their original hometown. They started investing and annually performed a remembrance festivities of their queen close to their hearts" So if the world cup comes to Ghana, investors will follow the historic happening and dearly love to invest to eradicate poverty in Ghana and the rest of the world in a chain reaction.
