Medals for Kuffour's cronies but none in the Olympics!

Sadly no medals in the Olympics so far like wise for many African countries?

Why?

The developed countries invested in encouraging their sports people but Ghana provides little encouragement outside of football.

Where do our priorities lie?

Money spent on back slapping medals could have been used to invest in encouraging sport s.

Is it not pathetic to see that while some countries are collecting real gold medals like saw dust Ghana is no where near a bronze let alone a gold medals. This is utter disgraceful achievement for the Ghana as a nation.

Yet we have spent our limited resources for Ghana @ 50 and National ceremonial awards.

Who are we kidding? The world or ourselves!
