NDC has told all of its party leaders in top positions to loot as much as they can this year. So that they will come clean during the election year. It's a tactic, more stories like these will surface soon.

Massa,don't put sand into Ghanaian eyes.95% USA's don't follow and know their own men's soccer team ,how much more BS?I was at work with USA citizens when BS were playing against USA in Brazil 2014.It was around 6:20pm going.i had to check the results on my phone. when I asked them,the answers were that,they were not aware any world cup was going on.USA doesn't follow one sport as the whole of Ghana following only BS whiles ignoring the rest of the sports.They have their own football,basket ball etc which they are crazy about.They don't like soccer with a reason that it doesn't produce more goal,sometimes zero/draw.They basketball produces 100 goals at time so don't say what you think nobody knows

All the leaders or politicians for that matter behave like wild animals. They want to destroy the future generation of Ghana before fading away in a very short time. The BS did not win the cup but rewarded handsomely to the detriment of other developmental issues. Mahama's hometown lack the basic things that every human beings on earth want water/light. But he ignore to give them clean water and light and yet can give out this money without thinking. I pass through Bole Bamboi to my hometown in Wa area there and it's never good to say the least.

When will the black man ever do something sensible? They ran to the west to borrow money and embezzle everything for their own greed. Every year they expect donor funds to balance budget, I guess the white man is now feeding Africans! I wish the west refuse them monies when they come begging. The useless leaders in Africa has succeeded in chasing away all the young and vibrant future leaders to various destinations. I don't care if you give all the money in Ghana to football players, but they must remember that some relatives of the the footballers are poor and need help. People are dying of heat stroke bcos of "dumsor" and mahama go round spreading cash like this. There's nothing wrong if you use some of the money earned from the football to develop infrastructure in the country. After all they want to ride in better roads when they come home. Same way like the ordinary citizen paying taxes to govt for development. Some people in the diaspora want to come home but the country is sick to the head shame on all the leaders in Ghana especially the politicians and public servants.

And so what? Does that give them electricity to do their business, does it build classrooms, does it pay for hospital bills, does it put food on the table for the suffering masses. We are all in US, referencing BS to your fellow worker does not aleviate suffering. Will the US, the wealthiest, which is controlling 25% of the global wealth do this? This is bad management. There is no one sensible to intervene by saying "We will devote this amount to build classrooms for those schooling under trees." We dole out such amount and then go out either to beg or borrow. Oh, what went wrong with my people? God please save us by giving us people who can do the hard work of thinking before action. This baffles me. If I have my way and the access to the IMF, I will tell them not to give a dime to this present gvt. Anyone who has the ability to influence the IMF must go ahead. We can dash out our hard earn and scarce resources and then go to beg or borrow. What is wrong with us? This is too much.

As usual isn't it! So, this guy says that the players should play for nothing. Can he inform his public what national team players provide services to their countries for nothing. The team reached the finals and they could have won the cup, for crying out loud. Is he aware of the money and houses promised to the players of CI! As they say, it is only in Ghana eh!!

Play free so we can fly free to watch the games. We can buy ourselves Jeeps at twice the cost. Work so I can collect bribe from u.

We want it all for free to the point the whole society is on the take n if u dare work for ur pay someone else sits on it.

What this fool of a sports whatever really mean is that these are million $$ professional players so they should leave the money on the table n try having him use it to manage the other sports. Though luck.

CI can afford to give their players that much because their situation is much better than ours,and even more importantly,they won the cup. should we have to sacrifice all other sports just to watch the blackstars place second?

Who will pay to go see or televise the game by ITT. Some of these so called Ghanaian gurus have no sense of how the world works. The market place dictates what is important not your big mouth. There is more money when the black stars play so naturally they get paid more. Its simple no free lunch anywhere.
