    What is the sense in what you say? Are the players foreigners? The foreign companies may have the payment methods included in their contractual agreements. This is entirely different from the players' situation.

    IF THEY WIN, THEY SHOULD GET 5GRAND. IN TOURNAMNTS OR COMPETITIVE GAMES. THE BSTARS SHOULD GET PAID BASED ON WINS, DRAWS AND LOSSES. 5GRAND FOR WIN, 2500 FOR DRAWS AND 500 FOR LOSS...

    Haven't we heard this before?
    Did Mahama not say this before?
    What regular nonsense!
    Stop talking!
    Act!
    Implement!

  • Emperor Rasheed 8 years ago

    Implement what? My brother, nothing will happen,because it is all about rheoterics.

  • Barns 8 years ago

    Great move!!
    The same must apply to the FA guys and the hangers-on.

  • Emperor Rasheed 8 years ago

    I am not surprised at your balderdash because I was expecting.You think you can please Mahama with this stupid analogy? I know you will make our players very angry,and then mess up.

    YOUR SISTER IS VERY BEAUTIFUL,,,

  • Emperor Rasheed 8 years ago

    You dare insult your emperor? You are in trouble.I am going to break those cassava legs of yours.K3 onami djofoi.I will give my sister to Adiyiah,because he is more handsome than you are.

  • Addai 8 years ago

    Nii is hitting the nail right on the head, Rasheed. Can you give us any tangible reason why the players should be paid in dollars instead of cedis? Use your brains, Rasheed. Get outta here.

  • Neutral Zone 8 years ago

    Our players have not won any hardware in years anyway.

  • Nana 8 years ago

    Nii Lante...... the most stupid sports minister Ghana has ever had.

  • SAINT 8 years ago

    .THE BONUS SHOULD BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REWARD STRUCTURE IN GHANA.

    THIS IS THE MOST RATIONAL POLICY SO FAR.

  • Saint Ghfuo: FREE YOUR PSYCHE 8 years ago

    ARE GHPPL RWARDED IN DOLLARS? IS THAT WAT U REFERRING TO, SAINT? MOST GH PPL ACT AND BEHAVE LIKE CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY THE ADULTS. THE DECISION TO PAY WORKERS, ATHLETES IN DOLLARS, A FOREIGN CURRENCY IS AT BEST THE MOST VEHEME ...

    If you do not want to get Cedis then do not play. Simple. Thee are plenty of great players from Ghana all over the world.

  • SLIMMART1 8 years ago

    What about players who literally have no roots in Ghana, but play for the Black Stars and have lived abroad since they were born? Assuming a Danny Welbeck played for Ghana, how would you pay him? We have Adomah, Kwesi Appiah, ...

    Open a bank account in Ghana & the amount will be deposited. don't expect the policy to favour everyone.

  • iGreat! 8 years ago

    Good Girl... I like you already

  • NANA AKUFO-ADDO 8 years ago

    Nana, your comment is very lunatic. You are a fool.

  • Opoku Richard 8 years ago

    We need leaders like U.to take bold decision.
    Africans need leaders

  • BASU 8 years ago

    YOU ARE RIGHT MR.MINISTER.AND ALL THE SCHOOLS IN GHANA WHO ONLY ACCEPT FOREIGN CURRENCY AS FEES MUST BE CLOSED DOWN IF THEY DONT CHANGE.

  • Juliana Addy, Mankesim 8 years ago

    Thank you BASU. You are a patriotic and realistic citizen. How can you live in Germany & say that we only accept Yen as the currency for the payment of school fees in Frankfurt or Berlin? Stupid indeed

  • Sly 8 years ago

    I love this Minister. The best thing I have ever heard Cedis or nothing. Ghana is broke and we don't have dollars

  • PAN AFRICANIST 8 years ago

    I THINK THIS HONERABLE MINISTER IS VERY WISE TO INTRORDUCE THAT INTO THE FOOTBALL WORLD OF GHANA AND HE NEEDED TO BE APPLAUDED FOR THAT BECAUSE WE SEEM NOT TO APPRECIATE WAHT WE HAVE, I THINK HE IS DOING THE RIGHT THING.

  • Mallam Issah Annex 8 years ago

    Nii, note the NDC days of autocracy is OVER. You would have done both the country and yourself good through dialogue. Choosing is dictatorial mode will land you else where SOON. Ask Mallam Issah of current NDC.

  • Sly 8 years ago

    They need to pay tax too

  • GHANANI 8 years ago

    Yes, pay them in cedis and those players who oppose it should be sidelined.They should also pay tax on them.

  • Abeiku SW2 London 8 years ago

  • anokwale 8 years ago

    No one wants to have proper discussions. Everyone wants to be a "Donald Trump" and resort to insults. I think the Cedis only payment will lead to having more dedicated players.

  • Incompetence and Corruption 8 years ago

    Pay, pay, pay even if it is Bangladeshi Taka. The problem with the government is that they have acquired a habit of not paying, especially where officials do not benefit directly from paying. Have you fully paid our young and ...
