  You came to UK on a 6 months visa and you overstayed. You were using people’s documents to work, how do you expect to make it. Take a look at Charles Taylor, he stayed in ghana and then a sports analyst.

  The nation does not have to do anything to stop anything. These are professional footballers who earned a living playing football. They failed to save their monies or educate themselves and spent on women left and right. There are also some very successful footballers and the youth need to learn from them.

  For lack of wisdom my ppl perish.Do you know that 80% of South Korean footballers are Degree holders ?Right to Dream players are combining football with education. Some of their players in USA have Degrees with the remaining ones like Kudus and Nuamah who ate qualified to enter university at all time.Right to Dream is a private individual who cannot do it for every Ghanaian young footballer.It is the duty of the state to get involved where there is a problem.

  Asking the government to financially support professional sport men and women sounds awkward to me. These are professionals who earn their living via playing sports. If it is not the government's responsibility to financially support the professional masons, carpenters, trotro drivers, security guards, accountants, as well as other professionals, why should the same government spend a dime on professionals who, during their hey days, made money for themselves, and also gained fame, but squandered their fortunes on frivolous things? Why should the government spend the poor person tax money on these irresponsible professionals? I rest my case.
