Twi presenters are destroying Ghana league

l second to Saani’s opinion that, twi presenters are destroying Ghana league

With all respect and apology to all twi sports presenters in this country,Saani, comment was not meant for all twi presenters but for few bad nuts in the system,and l think they know themselves.

Sanni, is right to have made this comment," twi presenters are the ones destroying Ghana league".To me, not all the twi presenters but the few ones who have been paid to give negative reportage about the league.

A twi presenter, would just complete Poly,he will straight away get opportunity on radio by the way of friendship without having any journalism training,he breaches all the radio ethics and start attacking football personalities with unsubstantiated allegations.

A twi presenter, would move straight from his village to a big city in search of a radio as a greener pasture and for any least chance ,he would make all sort of bias analyses just to earn cheap and short cut name. A twi presenter,would not mine to go all length in acquiring wealth,irrespective of where the money is coming from. A twi presenter could defy death and go to mallam to manipulate the system just to get employ to a bigger FM station. A twi presenter, some of them would break national team camp rules,go and beg money from Black stars players and also be the link in wooing them girls. A twi presenter, would not seek solution to why the league is not going well,all what they are interested of, is their weekends advert for commentary at league centers A twi presenter, would compared Ghana FA to the Europeans counterparts, forgetting that, their economy is far advanced than ours and exodus of stars from their league could be easily be controlled.

A twi presenter,would not pay anything to the FA to promote our league but will every weekends enter the stadium for free commentary, forgetting that in Europe even radio commentator pays for broadcasting right.

A twi presenter, would sit on radio to promote foreign league,doing all kind of analyses,they even pays more attention to the foreign league than our local league. Some of the twi presenters, have been only hired by their station just to lam bast the FA, forgetting that no European journalist will stoop that low.,You wont see,Dave Peterson,Robin Jackmann,Neil Andrews and the likes, daily insulting their FA presidents with baseless allegations.Inconsistency of some of the twi presenters, moving from one station to another might be the course because they love money than the work.

A twi presenter ,would do negative comparisons but they themselves refuse to perform their duty, all they know is their stomach and blames on others. A twi presenter, would at once develop hatred to his colleagues who by God grace have gotten a chance to serve at FA and they start undermine their work,look at what they are doing to Saani,they don't understand why he should defend his employers,European journalist would not do that. Some of the twi presenters are jealous,gossip,selfish and arrogant. Ghana league,in those 80s had best twi presenters,the likes of Joe Teteh Kofi,Kwabena Agyapong ,with the fantastic and positive analyses,they didn't follow the footstep of their masters whom because of their links got them the radio job ,they were unselfish and they sacrifice themselves to promote the league,their hyped on players were on merit,no money from a player to hype him,no insults and stomach allegations on their comment.l am also part of twi broadcasters and presenters,some of our colleagues are destroying our league with hatred and fake reportage. l am done Rymond Agbonlahol Yeboah
