This is not a big deal.Unlike international airports Ghana has more just one stadium so if the timing is not right for the match to be played in Accra I think we must respect their tradition and play it else where.I suggested Kumasi because once the Ga people hear the match is been taken to Kumasi they will rescind that noise ban in a heart beat.

Ghana is a primitive country. Is there anyone who is proud of being a Ghanaian? Is Ghana not a republic? Do we have laws? What is the role of the so called traditional institutions? Can traditional beliefs be imposed on others who don't share those beliefs? Why shouldn't the supreme court rule whether private citizens like chiefs have the right to ban commercial activities? Why shouldn't the capital be moved elsewhere?

Keep that hateful stupidity to yourself... If you are that insolent, intolerant, and ignorant.. Maybe you need to find somewhere else to go yourself.. After all, you identified yourself with some ethnicity first, not as a Ghanaian... IDIOTIC BUSH BOY!!!... Every ethnicity in Ghana, including yours, Migrated from somewhere... You may not have complained, if the same situation had played out where you're from... With that said I am not in favor of politicians and so-called kings, Naa, Togbe, Nana and Chiefs, Including Ga mantse/Asante Hene Getting involved in Black Stars affairs.. They only do so in grandstand to be relevant, but not necessarily contributing their quota to the sport... Ghanaians have to learn to be Ghanaians first, not limiting themselves to some out-dated idiotic ethnic norms..

Nyantakyi and Dr. Appiah, please seriously consider taking to Brazil every single player - regular or reserve, 95 minutes, 1 minute or total bench-sitter - to Brazil.
1. They will form the core of our support personnel;
2. They will be very grateful for the reward for their sweat; and
3. They will work harder thereafter for the nation and pass on the hard-driving, MUST-QUALIFY tradition to the younger generation.
The FA itself must make it a permanent policy to cart along to tournaments everyone who has participated in qualifying camps and games.
That's how dedication is sealed.

Great idea but it would not happen taking these players would affect the dropping of Officialdom these people want to go to Brazil at the expense of we the taxpayers, they want to take their girlfriends. Mark my word you would see how many MPs and Ministers of State who want to go to Brazil this is the only time you would be hearing one voice from the MPs. These people do not care about the future they only care about now and chop chop chop. The last time a coach tried that they fired him. Take a player like Larry Kingston he lost his position in his team during 2010 world cup qualifying and we still dropped him. One of the biggest problem with FA is their selectiveness a case in point they were doing everything in their power to help Stephen Appiah by calling him to play for nation team when he did not have team but they would not do the same for others. I wish our leaders would foresee the future and give a mean to the word dedication.

Africans over do things. How do you take a city hostage. No country apart from Ghana will do this. One or two days is enough . Hell. Go to another regional capital and leave Accra alone for their weird tradition.

What looks funny is whether the Ga trditional authorities are satisfied that their ban on noisemaking is being observed at all. For instance what are they saying about the loud noises from vehicular traffics, aircraft taking off or landing, the many markets in Accra etc, etc. It is impossible to ban noise (ie the type of noise the Ga traditionalists are banning) in a big city like Accra where over 3 million persons live. Infact they are only making a mockery of themselves whenever they place a ban on noisemaking prior to the homowo festival.
