Who at all, can we trust in Ghana? The president and his govt can't be trusted! So are the police- men and women! The opposition party? The Chiefs and the so-called kings? The women? Don't even dare ask anything about the men!
So can this country with it's hydra-headed problems ever get back on track? A country where even your own relatives ---including your siblings can't be trusted!
Any time someone is placed in a position of trust, then he sees it as an opportunity to steal! The unfortunate thing is that, age and "connections" has always been the yardstick for appointments in this country ---which never works----so can't the govt realize it's running into a ditch by that policy?
Yet the foolish and stupid elders like Mahama, Akufo Addo, Otumfuo, Kuffuor and the other retards don't want to be corrected! Ebei! HUH?

Yes,the athletic so-called officials will also take their shares just like in Brazil. And always the officials are even more than the sportsmen and women. What is this country at all??? You give just one kit per athlete,is Ghana the MOST poorest country on this planet? NO and NEVER,but just the `OFFICIALS` and their CORRUPTION. We shall always continue to be disgraced as long as this NDC Gov`t cannot root out these corruptions. Another big disgrace for GHANA!!!!!!

That's what you get if you want to see the difference between a "white" man and a black man.

Black African leaders just can not get anything right.

Adama is perfectly correct. Leadership is not about having a big belly and asking your followers are you my co-equal. But rather serving the people you are meant to lead. If a young person probe an older fool in power, in their defence , they will ask 'are you my co-equal'. Whiteman dont behave like this. Eventhough they are not angels ,they atleast get the job than even if they steal some. Our country is a disgrace. Im proud to say that I have renounced my Ghanaian identity.

Oh my God Wash and wear. Upon all these cash that this Govt. is Dumping on the street to its MPs, it could not provide enough for its ambassadors of sports, but to depent on Wash and Wear?

Ghanaian leaders are fucking useless.

Most of them are in politics to create loot and share as much as possible.

Victoria Hammah said it all!

I am highly disappointed. I thought Prof. Doodo is a level-headed man who can handle these things. What is wrong with our country? Are we cursed or what? I agree to the fact that we need a serious coup to change things if our presidents (and all leaders) cannot change things for the better.

Which of the athletes will be scape goats this time? It is now clear that Muntari, Essien and Kevin Prince Boateng cannot be blamed entirely for the Saga in Brazil. Look, most Ghanaian leaders at every corner are incompetent and corrupt. This is not politics, I personally do not trust all the political parties for they are all corrupt and their goal is to steal money. Period. Is this the end of Ghana? It is sad.

1. Any athlete who relies on their kit for motivation has already failed in his or her discipline. Using the lack of having your kit on time as an excuse for your poor preparation is the mindset of someone ready for failure.
2. If an athlete loses motivation to compete because he or she does not have a kit then he or she has much BIGGER problem and a weak mentality. Besides this point however, everyone at camp received more than enough to aid them in their competition (which is obviously the priority here). "To whom much is given much is expected" and in my opinion we as athletes were given more than what was expected from us. This sense of entitlement needs to end . NO ONE IS OBLIGATED TO GIVE YOU ANYTHING in life, people need to learn that you must work for what you receive.

Now that this lecture has been given, my recipe for good sports Journalism is as follows:
1. Add One cup of "FACTS". Please speak the truth and the truth only. A wise man knows what he knows not, which then means a fool is a fool because he thinks he knows everything. Don't be a fool.

2. Add A whole gallon of "Common sense". This is mostly for the readers do not believe everything you read some of this stuff is fiction.

3. Please please please it is critical that you add a bucket of "RESEARCH". Do your research before you publish anything because once the truth comes out (which it always does) your story become useless.

I hope this helps you on your next article you write.
Thank You

What is with the ambiguity in this article? Has anyone taken the time to actually speak with an athlete on The Commonwealth Team Ghana? This "close source to the team" could be someone reporting hear say? Yes there have been problems with the kits, but in the end, the athletes received a sufficient amount of clothing to last throughout the competition. Please consider talking to real sources.

Not till the time that the Ministry of Youth and Sports is run by capable former sports persons who have taken part in competitions abroad, the file ups and corruptions will never be rid off in that cursed Ministry.
