MAHAMA MUST DISSOLVE GFA!
APPOINT TONY BAFFOE AS INTERIM FA HEAD, DESAILLY AS INTERIM COACH...
DONT WAIT FOR FIFA OR ANY FOOLISHNESS. MAHAMA MUST SIMPLY DISSOLVE GFA. THERE IS NOTHING FIFA CAN DO TO GH. FIFA AND CAF NEED GH MORE THAN WE NEED THEM.
NYANTAKYI IS THE CAUSE OF ALL THIS. HE IS A THIEF AND LACK EFFECTIVE MANAGERIAL SKILLS TO APPEASE THE PLAYERS TO PERFORM TO THE BEST OF THEIR ABILITY.
9 YRS AND COUNTING AND STILL NO TROPHY?
NFA AMINU MAIGARI ARRESTED!
THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE. WHAT WOULD SUN TZU DO IN THIS CASE?
WELL, SUN TZU THE CHINESE WARRIOR SAYS THIS....
RELAY YOUR IDEALS THRU YOUR CAPTAINS. IF YOU ARE NOT ACHIEVING RESULTS, GET RID OF THE CAPTAINS.
NOW, WAT DOES EINSTEIN ALSO Say....
"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking/PEOPLE we used when we created them".
WAT DID CHARLES DARWIN ALSO SAY....
it's not the strongest of the species that survive nor the most intelligent but the one most responsive to change.
IF WE DONT CHANGE NYANTAKYI AND AA, GH SOCCER WILL CONTINUE TO TANK.
...NOW NFA COMPLETELY DISSOLVED BY PRES.JONATHAN. GH DID POORLY THAN NAIJA, AND YET WE HAVNT CHANGED ANYTHING. STILL SITTING THERE LIKE LITTLE KIDS SUCKING THUMBS.
MAHAMA, U ARE SLOW LIKE A TURTLE. I WOULD HAVE DISSOLVED THE GFA EVEN BEFORE THEY GOT BACK FROM BRASIL.

Pres. Mahama is not fit for the job. Look at what is happening in the country there is no place or area things are running accordingly. In sport the turtle pres. of Ghana should have been sending the whole GFA management out. They do not deserve to be where they are without any punishment. All the GFA team must be release from their position.

What can await from Mahama? No theory of Zen Tsu, Einstein, etc. will count.

Useless management!!

Gifty, it was the world health organization, the Ghanaian minister that said no need to close the border as a way to prevent the disease. Really, that's the most way to prevent it & also educating people to refrain from eating certain bush meat. Now that Ghana has detected one from this American, chances are, there'll be more to come due to free movement of people from other countries. Dumb minister!

Watch these cheap whites who trespasses on the continent. Hane we rforgotten that It was a Canadian Steward in the 1980's who brought AIDS in Africa. It could be plitically motivated by the whites to let us go on our knees to dance to their music. Sent that American spy to the American embassy and before the should question him on his mission along the west African country.

The fact that this has been reported is a good thing not bad. The public need to be made aware of this and quite honestly if it in fact it was malaria then they would have tested and found that out right away. The fact that they had to send the sample elsewhere speaks volumes. It is better for the public to be made aware and alert then to be wlaking around blind to the fact that Ghana may in fact have Ebola. LEts hope for all sakes that this is not Ebola but if it is don't you think the public should be made aware, I do.

The President and the Parliamentarians (MPs or Representatives) have failed woefully to address probably the greatest threat of this decade yet; that is the ebola virus in neighboring countries.

There has not been any broadcast to the nation on this issue.

I call for a public demonstration to register our deepest displeasure at this state of affairs.

Everyone with a problem should be able to come up with at least one solution to the problem. No solution as an answer is not acceptable.
What is your solution MPs (representatives) and the President I ask??

My solution is that in addition to our local measures we attack the virus in the afflicted countries by providing logistical and psychological support them.

We must not forget that only one country is between Ghana, Guinea and Liberia. Sierra Leone has also been afflicted.

When you see your neighbors chin burning fetch a bucket of water and place it by your side??

We have lived ungodly lives, lesbians and homosexuals everywhere, God hates this(Leveticus 20:13). The land is full of corruption, rich don't give to the poor, rather, they cheat the poor to enrich themselves more(Prov 28:27 and Deut 27:17). People are not ready to discipline their children, rather,they pamper them to the point that they honor their children more than God(1Sam 2:17, 27-32). The land is full of false prophets(Deut 18:19-22). People go to illuminati to make themselves popular rather than turning to the Lord(Exod 20:5). The world in general is full of disobedience(Isa 24:3-6). The list goes on and on!!. Until we part ways with our proud, disobedient, arrogant, immoral, wicked, unforgiving ways, we will continue to be plagued with unknown, incurable diseases and we shall never find favor in the sight of God.

SO HOW DID IT REAPPEAR IN WEST AFRICA? THINK, THINK MY FRIEND.THE WEST NEED OUR LAND NOW. I MEAN THE WHOLE OF AFRICA. THEY ARE DESPERATE AND WE RAE PLAYING THE FOOL.THIS VIRUS CAN WIPE US OUT WITHIN SOME FEW MONTHS. NEVER BELIEVE THAT ITS BECAUSE OF EATING MONKEY MEAT OR WHAT, IT WAS SPECIFICALLY MADE TO BE CARRIED OUT ON AFRICANS ON OUR OWN SOIL.INSTEAD OF OUR POLITICIANS THINKING OF OUR SAFETY, ALL THAT THEY ARE INTERESTED, IS IN THEMSELVES. SEE WHETHER THEY WILL EVEN LIVE TO SPEND THEIR ILL GOTTEN MONEY IF THEY REFUSE TO FACE THE REALITIES NOW. HOW COME THAT IT IS AN AMERICAN WHO HAS GOTTEN THE DESEASE AND BROUGHT IT TO GHANA TO INFECT US.THIS IS AN ORGANISED CRIME ON HUMANITY.

You call yourself Jah Love so why are you spreading lies about Nana Addo? I know the man one on one. I have been to him, interviewed him in my capacity as a journalist and I can tell you with all certainty that Nana is shrewd, intuitive, kind, honest, humble and all the good qualities a man must have. But anyways, all I know is that NDC is scared of Nana Addo because he has the wisdom to reveal all their thievery and criminal activities when he is given the mandate. That is why all NDC supporters seem to be saying what they don't even know about Nana, only to sway voters from Nana to Alan the most notorious puppet of a man, seeking to compete with Nana Addo.

The assurances given by the Health Ministry are not far reaching enough. Given the fatality rate of the Ebola there should be proactive measures such as mass education, regular quarantining and screening of persons from affected areas and increased alertness at the entreports. Usually I see these assurances hiding in some small corner of some of our dailies. What happens to the many who cannot afford a news paper and our illiterate relations in the villages?
If we allow anyone to die of it in Ghana we might not be able to contain it!
