Mallam Illiasu, a ritualist nearly drowned while attempting to bring back to life, hiplife musician Castro at the Ada estuary, Friday.

Rescue operations started last Sunday for Castro and his female companion, Janet Bandu who went missing Sunday while jet skiing in the waters of Ada.

Castro and Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan were at the Peace Holiday Resort, a beach resort in Ada, together with some friends, for recreation when the unfortunate incident occurred.

The Marine Division of the Ghana Police Service intensified search operations Monday but as at Friday, hopes of finding Castro and Janet alive, seemed to have been lost.

Mallam Illiasu had made a few incantations and told onlookers and journalists that, Castro was alive and he could bring him back.

He was given the opportunity at the estuary to try and bring back Castro, it was only luck that saved him as a canoe came to his rescue.

"The Black Stars World Cup came to a sorry end after going down by two goals to one in that encounter.

Kwabena’s absence apparently went unnoticed by the Ghanaian contingent led by Kwesi Nyantakyi thus left their Macieo base with a chartered flight to Accra, the report added.

Depressed and dejected Kwabena, according to reports, has gone without food for days and has been roaming aimlessly on the streets of Brasilia on daily bases."

When the govt of Ghana made it clear that the govt Brazil has to deport these ungrateful bastards who went to Brazil on govt ticket and got paid for doing nothing and turned around to blackmail Ghana as a nation in inter religious conflict and therefore needed a refugee status, this fool decided to change his mind with a weak excuse, because he believes we in Ghana are stupid to buy it and no one will be in a position to question him.
What a bunch of unpatriotic bastards. But who can blame them when MPs and ministers and judges displaying the same trait at every opportunity to milk the very state they took oats to defend.

What a fucK are we witnessing?
Akos, you are right. Every way you look at it the Ghana's world cup 2014 has been an embarrassment.
The wall of embarrassment I started yesterday is growing every minute. Please check bellow and add your own:
1. Only one point obtained
2. Exited in the group stage.
3. Beaten by US: a team that has never beaten us in a world cup.
4. Players on strike and refusing to practice.
5. Fans left behind at Kotoka Int. Airport.
6. Fans left behind at their hotel and had to watch a game on TV.
7. Fans arriving in Brazil after Ghana's exit.
8. Player fighting with a Ghanaian official and the player getting his ass kicked.
9. Key player refusing to warm up before a game.
10. Player insulting the coach.
11. Two key players discharged from Black Star camp.
12. Players asking for their appearance fee in cash.
13. Ghana government flying $3 million cash in a chartered plane to Brazil.
14. Ghana asking for a loan from FIFA.
15. Ghana due to pay 17% money transfer tax to Brazil.
16. Official Ghanaian fans seeking asylum after their trip has been paid by the country they claim they are being persecuted.
17. GFA official left behind
18. 66-member committee set up to make recommendations to improve Ghana football. Why 66 members beat my mind.

As the days go by more and more people wake up to the reality of the ndc anti Akan hate agenda and their deep rooted corrupt dark souls of evil .This was first initiated by the Ewes and through Mahama and his brothers being championed today by the northerners. We see in Iraq/Syria the announce of the Islamic caliphate state and their map which now includes Ghana and the whole of West Africa .Most people are ignorant of the fact that unlike in Christianity and other religions whereby the leaders or priests are men of peace in Islam their imams or priests advocate for war and destruction of the non believers and when war starts every single one of them assumes the title emir and becomes the captain of a murderous horde as we saw in Libya and with the boko haram. The mosque is not only a place of worship but an army fortress or barracks and that is why they must in the design in every area which is not predominately Muslim its required to have a tall reconnaissance tower. we see in Accra and other places these mosques spring up all over the place at militarily very strategic positions but we are vigilant and when our bloody revolution starts we will raze all these structures to the ground and drive out this menace from our midst . There are some brainwashed idiotic fools who still believe mahama has good intentions but don't know he is a Muslim disguised as a christian which Islam allows and his only agenda is to weaken with corruption and destroy with negligence the Akan economy so the caliphate can be achieved that is why no project of strategic importance can see the light of day under his watch.As for the Ewes his partners in crime all i can say is have you ever wondered why when you go to Togo there the Ewes are very nice people and true African brothers but the moment you cross the Aflao border into Ghana the ayigbe wickedness , hate and evil starts? The ewes in Togo know these ayigbe are so bad and useless that they are not interested in reuniting with them but would rather throw them all into the sea. We should find a way to trick them into taking them back as we Akans will definitely be better off without this foolish idiotic people. Mahama and his brothers have stolen so much that even the bank of Ghana admits they dont know where our foreign reserves have disappeared to , i can tell you where , Turkey , Iran, Dubai and other Muslim countries where its safe for them. Congrats to Kumasi for hitting the nail on the head and exposing the discrimination and abuse of the civil/human rights with the WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO YOU demonstration , today we see idiots and saboteurs trying turn it into a question of mere economics , even one idiot woman came out with a humiliating brainless idea to go naked just to deflect from the main core issue of discrimination against the Akans. My people we have only one problem and if that's solved the rest will be easy , the problem is discrimination and the Anti Akan agenda of part of this mafia ndc . its never about npp , ndc ,left or right wing ideology politics but simply pepeni/ayigbe tribalism against Akan nationalist evolution. They are only attracted to ideas that only destroy our economy like this EPA paramount foolishness with the Europeans or giving away our gold fields to foreigners who never invest here in the name of prudent business , end result our people are exploited and made poorer. we shall never surrender or be fooled again. While we were thinking of a better Ghana for ALL citizens they were thinking of only themselves and destroying the future for our children . We need to have our revolution and secede to form our own state as they will never change.

Corney, you will be shocked when you get the inside story of what really went on. Let me tell you a story about the heat count.

I was listening to a radio interview about the leader or the person in charge of the supporters welfare in Brazil. According to him, there were of them. The interview was about who were the 200 supporters who went seeking asylum and whether they were amongst the government sponsored supporters.

When the man was asked whether he made a roll call or did a head count before they left the hotel to make sure all the supporters were in the buses, he said he did not but he checked them out of the hotel and he conveyed all of them to the airport.

When he was asked again if all of them boarded the planes to Ghana, he said the moment he got them to the airport, he was not in charge of them again so whether they all got in the plane, he cannot tell.

Corney, we had incompetent people handed hundreds of thousands of dollars to perform certain functions and did not. The Minister budgeted $50 each for a day for each individual feeding and paid the caterer $20 instead. The whole tournament was seen by the officials as a way to make money.

Amazing!!
Even in my primary school days, anytime we travelled even on foot to the next village to play football, there was always one teacher (sports) in charge, apart from all the other teachers who would usually go to support this "sportsmaster."

Before, during and after the game, the class prefects would ensure that everyone stayed in one group or other. Everyone would have been given a number before we set off. During half time, the numbers would be called out to ensure that everyone was accounted for. At the end of the match, the class prefects would report to the teachers, who would in turn report to the "sportsmaster."

If anyone was found missing, nobody would move until that person had been accounted for.

Here we are an adult, who presumably has a wife and children, leading a group of Ghanaians to far away Brazil says his responsibility ended at the airport gates? Ghana indeed is a failed state under this clueless Mahama.

This is an excerpt from GLU forum :

Folks,

Now the President 's information Minister has come fighting back and telling us what the Government after 5 years in office is planning to do, or will do to help Ghanaians in the next few years?.
There is nothing wrong with Politicians trotting out what they are going to do in the futures, however when they tell you HALF TRUTHS & UNTRUTHS , or not transperant, when you know they are lying through their teeth, you are bound to be SCEPTICAL! Tell me i lie ?
Of all these things that have been touted out, I have particular exception to the sub heading on Education and what the Government is planning, especially on the infrastructural front.
They said the NDC Government would facilitate the building or construction of 200 Senior High Schools. The President even cut a sword for the construction of the first one at West Akim , in the Eastern Region a couple of months ago.
See link from the Presidency
www.presidency.gov.gh/node/475

However folks what they did not tell us is the funding regime for the construction of those schools.
Dont get me wrong , there is nothing wrong with designing and building of these two hundred schools. I am all for it if it helps Ghanaian school Children access quality education. and for me Begoro in the West Akim District is even significant because i have family there. So i would desperately want this programme to succeed.
However why still in this Globalized world is the Government of Ghana not being transparent with its citizens on some of these projects ?
How they are being funded?
What Quid pro quo is involved ?
How much Ghana Government funding is being applied ?
How much private capital or Loans is being applied ?
How much we are geared to pay back for this in the future ?

Folks, these days its very easy to find information on details of Loans and projects very easily.
Its very easy to compare and contrast the costs of loans and other encumberances to determine whether they are good value for money or not ?
Look Guys the 200 Senior High Schools that are being built are being funded by a Japanese Company, Toyota Housing Corporation with Ghanaian Local Partners, Ghana - Japan Oil , a company seeking Oil Concessions in Ghana and Africa, for $25 million Dollars.
All the 200 Senior High Schools would cost $25 Million Dollars to complete. The costs is quite reasonable in my estimation, I wish we can deliver more of these schools ( Design and Build) at reasonable costs?
That is not bad at all given how much monies Ghana Government had spent elimination so called "Schools under Trees" and their inflated final contract sums.

Check this link.

The question though is who is the Manging Director of Ghana Japana Oil in Ghana , LESLIE TAMAKLOE?
Ghana Government NEVER told us they were in contract with him ?
There are rumours circulating in the construction world that this is one of the President's family members, who is in for a fast buck with his Japanese backers, because he is fronting for the Japanese to win an Oil Concession in Ghana and milk it to the hilt ?
Why is Ghana Government not telling us the full story ?
How much is the Ghana Government Contributing to the building of these 200 Hundred Senior High Schools at $25 million Dollars ?
What is in it for Toyota Housing Corporation of Japan?

What is in it for Mr Tamakloes's Ghana Japan Oil, incorporated in Accra?
Are they properly registeresd ?
Have they been registered to pay business rates and taxes in Ghana ?
Ghana Government needs to be transparent with citizens ?
This is the Globalized world and the days of hiding information is over ?
Has Ghana Parliament approve these loan programmes?

What are the terms?

The reason i am posting all this is , we don't want another Judgement debt "Wahala" on our hands if Ghana Japan Oil and Toyota Housing Corporation do not win the expected oil concessions they wished for because there is a change of Government down the line?
If its a stepping stone for them to do more business in Ghana ,, there is nothing wrong with that, but they need to be transparent so we can judge whether we are getting a good deal or not?
Is this too much to ask ?

All these purported flaws in our organisation prior to the world-cup would be forgiven had Ghana made it out of the group stage and into the round of 16 and the quarter-finals.
Presently, we as a nation, are paying
for Mr. Nyantekyi's failure to provide a strong coach who can manage affairs on and off the field with enough gravitas to hold these pampered Gh. international players in a patriotic mindset.
If the central role of the GFA is to run the local league and manage the national team, then why are we dealing with uncommitted players and an entire president coming out to give assurances to players before a game at the World Cup.
Did Rawlings, Kuffour or Mills(RIP) deal with any such "crap" during their tenures.
Who the hell are we kidding?
If Mr. Nyantekyi has any brains left, he would do everything in his power to bring Mr. Milovan Rajevac back to the national team as Coach.
Kwesi Appiah is a good coach but he is inconsistent. His record with the Black Stars prove it. If you do not think so, then explain to yourself why he had to bring in Jordan Ayew and take-out KPB because the Germans took-out Jerome. Also, when we were ahead by two goals to one, the Germans brought-in Schweingsteiger and Klose to help them score. But, Appiah brought-in Agyeman-Badu and Wakaso, which showed that he was unwilling to protect our lead by bring on two additional defenders to shift our posture to a 2-4-4 formation with two additional defenders in the midst to protect our lead. Instead he was planning to beat the Germans by more goals and the changes he made proves his mind set. So, we were lucky to get the 2-2 draw in that game because the German forwards got stronger towards the end and got their equalize.
Again, when we played the USA, Coach Appiah did not have a plan to salvage the game when the score was tied at 1-1 in the 83rd minute, instead the players were still trying to win it and any fool could see that luck was not on our side if it had taken us more than 80 minutes to find an equalizer.
So he should be kept as an assistant to Milovan Rajevac. Keep all the players if you want, they will not be revolting under him, he can keep them in check.
Ghana needs a coach who is grounded enough to perceive our areas of weakness and protect us but also strong enough to capitalize on our obvious potential for greatness.
So, Mr. Nyantekyi, I do not know how long the president is willing to let you keep hurting the nation with your cheap solutions.

The lesson hear for Mr. GFA is that we went to Fifa World-Cup 2006, lost to Brazil in the round of 16. Coach Ratomir Djukovic Salary $45000.00 Per. Month.
Then, we went to Fifa World-Cup 2010, lost to Uruguay in the quarter-finals. Coach Milovan Rajevac Salary $60,000.00 Per. Month.
Then, we went to Fifa World-Cup 2014, Did not get out of the group stage. Coach Kwesi Appiah Salary $20,000.00 Per. Month.

Because the voices of these brave players of Ghana is collectively meant for nothing but:
A CHANGE in the governance of the GFA MANAGERIAL CIRCLES' OPERATIONS.
