Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing Riiiiiiiiiiiiiing
Obama: Hello, is this Akwasi?
Akwasi Appiah: Yes, who is this?
Obama: It’s me Obama, the president of ….
AA: Is this a Joke?
Obama: No, it’s really me. Congratulations on your new position. I’m surprised I got you on the phone. I thought you lost it
AA: Why?
Obama: Because you had to travel all the way to Italy & Dubai just to have a chat with players, who don’t want to play for Ghana.
AA: Oh…you see…. In Ghana, travelling abroad, at the expense of the taxpayer, indicates the importance of one’s position.
Obama: Interesting
AA: Example, our politicians travel left, right & center for no reason, but let’s leave that for another day. So, why did you call?
Obama: Since you eliminated the USA at the last world cup, I called to get advice on how to improve the US national team
AA: You called the right person
Obama: Ok …so?
AA: Firstly, you got to invite the right players. Those who are in top shape and playing regularly for their clubs
Obama: If that’s the case then why did you invite Adiyiah
AA: I am surprised you know him – An indication that our petite striker is known all over the world
Obama: I only know him because your fellow countrymen are complaining
AA: Don’t mind them. Even if I had called Messi they would have complained
Obama: I thought Messi is an Argentine
AA: Barack, stop taking things literally
Obama: just kidding around with you. Go on
AA: …. Secondly, invite some local players
Obama: Why will you do that?
AA: Just to silence the critics.
Obama: So, you do not intend to use them
AA: No way! If they were that good they will not be in Ghana
Obama: I see.
AA: and finally…
Obama: I have to go …. Thanks for the help and all the best off luck
