Got in touch with 3 Majority MPs who told me they were dismayed to find out the Finance Minister paid almost $800,000 to the Ghana Football Association just last week, in spite of all the challenges we face. The money covers their expenditure in the Brazil and Nicaragua games.

I've seen the GFA's response and I have decided to test this at the RTI Commission by writing officially to them. I won't rely on any "leaked" document from anywhere but will seek for the most official source in this context. I've been here with them during the betting saga.

I lost some money, Dr. Baah Nuako lost his two phones. A CAF match official needed oxygen yet had to be rushed to hospital. What i witnessed today really scared me. Alas i'm off to Qatar with @kakra19 and I am safely aboard my flight back to Ghana. Our brothers took this too far

My appreciation of the FIFA Best XI changed the moment I supervised the Aduana FC players voting. My man chose Trippier in 2018 as his RB. I asked him why and he said "na wo ball no wo bɔ bi?"

My man has been sick and has been battling for his life since November 2023. He was in Kumasi over the weekend and was due to get treatment in Germany tonight. He was in an ambulance to Accra enroute to Germany, all things being equal, when he transitioned around Suhum.

The quality of football exhibited by Real Madrid tonight was of the highest order. The gulf was so obvious. Anyway whoever tells you luck isn't part of football doesn't know the game that well. You need it to survive.

The Black Stars is for the people of Ghana. No matter how abusive the relationship is, they still love them. What happened at their training this evening should be an advice to everyone who manages the team. The Zongo community and Mo Salisu was an absolute bedlam.

Solid away win for Kotoko that calls for a FULL stadium on Sunday to seal it off. Don't let the players down. Don't let the club down. Show up and cheer them on. History has shown how vital the crowd is in such quest.

On the lighter side, ut is only in Ghana that our Technical Team work 26hrs a day to produce a 26 man squad. 26 hours for 26 men is an hour per man in a day. Clap for Black Stars.

They beat him, he fell and they throded on him. He lost consciousness was rushed to an ambulance closer to the Ghana dressing for CPR. The entire Ghanaian contingent watched on as resuscitation attempts were made with oxygen mask. He was taken to hospital later and now this. Sad.

As a patriotic Ghanaian, all you can do is to enjoy the Black Stars at the World Cup. Don't heighten your expectations and don't be quick to crucify them too. We are in transition and it will take some time but we will certainly come back to the very top. 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭

The Danish 🇩🇰 is called Dannebrog and it was given to them by God when it fell from the sky on 15th June 1219 during the Battle of Lyndanisse. The funny thing is the 4th Friday after Easter is National Prayer Day, which is a National Holiday. They believe in God despite bibiaa.

You watch Alexis Mac Allister tonight and still have excuses for Caicedo and Enzo? This is a midfielder running the engine of a game for his team. After all the “rubbish” Klopp threw at them, one got substituted and the other eased through the game like he was a passenger.

110 Million Pounds is massively overpaying for Caicedo. Brighton gets their revenge for the 35million Macallister underpayment. On the balance Liverpool have spent circa 200million on 3 midfielders this summer. Real ambition should end at spending another 45m on a LCB NOW.

Chairman Wontumi has his flaws, but when it comes to ground operations in elections & election day swooping, not many come near him. Seeing Addai Agyekum the MCE & Yaw Anim the PC, together with the family of the late MP Basoah was enough for the people of Kumawu to fall in line.

Lavia choosing Chelsea is not a big problem at all. The people who identified him as a target can get you 5 players who have a bigger potential than him. So what's the big deal? Well the big deal is that those guys may leave the club cos now they know their words don't matter.
