Ghana has produced better players and personalities, Kwame Nkrumah is from Ghana, he is responsible for the independence of all Africa and the Caribbean countries. You are lucky to have your roots from here because this is the land of bravery, great intelligence and courage. We are where we are because of sabotage and other hurdles that foreign powers continue to put on our path to greatness, but we shall overcome.

In the days of Nkrumah when Ghana was attractive and enviable even non blacks came to live there, marry Ghanaian women nowadays men and attended skuul. Today, even native born Ghanaians are ditching the place and want nothing to do with Ghana simply becos ot ain't attractive. Our so called fufu leaders still don't get the science....this guy will produce for liverpool and will help the club win a lg title. He has a champions mentality and I saw it when he scored 3goals against liverpool, plus hehas a dutch lg title under his belt and dutxh lg best player. Now,.see how he is commanding big bucks. We advice stupid Ghanaian players to win laurels and not be concerned with money and they think we don't want to see them over successful

mms, GHFUO did not say anything bad, let alone terrible, IN THIS PARTICULAR PIECE.

If he writes ANALYTICALLY like this, forumers are less likely to be fighting with him all the time.

Therefore, I think you're unfair to him here.
Nothing he said here in untrue, because our Ghanaian leaders at ALL ALL LEVELS OF MANAGEMENT have really fouled up the country to such an extent that if 99.99% of Ghanaians can leave, they will leave.
The only comfortable people in Ghana are the corrupt 0.01%.

The only item I disagree with him on, respectfully, of course, is the players' money.

He thinks the players are "concerned with money and they think we don't want to see them over successful", while I think the players are not driven by greed, but rather deserve everything FIFA gives them, instead of it being sat on by the fools at the FA.

He has occasionally, under different topics, insulted Rasheed and me, among other idealists, for no apparently-justifiable reason, but we're both mature and sensible enough to tell you that this particular insult of him is below the belt.

But why would the stepfather change his name. Not a big deal, looks like you are acceptable in the Netherlands if you are from Surinam a Dutch colony.

"But why would the stepfather change his name"?

Because of love by step-father for step-son.

Have you heard of William Jefferson Blythe?
