Nobody cares about the sports facilities in Ghana. This is the state of infrastructural development in Ghana. Very deplorable.

NKWASEAFOO PEOPLES PARTY have succeeded in destroying all the monumental infrastructures built by visionary leaders like Presidents Kuffour and Mahama. Take a look at the ESSIPONG stadium also. A country in a total mess.

They are just like our pokuticians who have since independence never invested month into our healthcare. Hospitals, polyclinics etc because when they got headache they fly out of the country to seek medical treatment at tax payers expense. Same with football training, never maintain our stadiums cos they get sponsored to train outside the country when it comes to afcon, world cup etc.

I think most of us saw those beautiful stadium in Ivory Coast where the latest Afcon was staged, and I believe Ghana cannot boost of just one of them. What is going on in Ghana? Nothing is on the right path.

Did Wcup or Afcon come to Tamale but you did not see green?

They can maintain their grass everyday. We can't.

Bastie’s Bi-Sexual, and Lesbian mother is a notorious Prostitute, and the only so-called woman on Earth, whose Vagina smells too bad

No wonder the Satanic Prostitute gave birth to Bestie, the ugliest Sub-Human on Earth

Maintenance culture is a big problem for Ghana...any serious Govt should have a department of maintenance and sustainability..this is the new departments that should be created by the next Govt..As a country, it’s like we are going in circles..the Govt build infrastructure without any plans to maintain it..if u go to the western countries , some of their infrastructures are more than 100 years, yet it’s still in good shape and functioning..why is it that Africans ( Ghana) alone, we build something and in less than 10years, it’s in poor condition..Maintenance culture is missing in the dictionary of the Ghanaian Govt..Just 2008-2024, and look at the poor state of the stadium..If u go to Takoradi Essipong Stadium, it’s also in a deplorable state because of incompetent Western regional minister kobby Okyere Darko..Maintenance culture is missing In Ghana because we have too many foolish incompetent selfish politicians stealing from the country

The FA prefers sharing 100000usd to each management committee member than using the money to improve our sporting facilities. These are the kind of leaders managing our football. Kurt is a criminal in the same boat with addo akufo. Rewarding mediocrity is the problem with ghanaians. On what grounds did Kurt retained the FA chairmanship after all the failures of the national teams. Ghana must get aerious.

The Aliu Mahama stadium has NEVER been renovated since its construction in 2007 for the CAN 2008. The only thing that was done before the renaming was the relabeling at the main entrance from 'Tamale sports stadium' to 'Aliu Mahama sports stadium'. Again, the front view was painted for the 6th march event in 2019. That's all.

I get frightened when major public edifices are outdoors. There are many examples, nationwide, involving sports stadia, arts Centre's, conference centres etc. In fact the Essipun Sports Stadium and the New Railway Terminal, both in Sekondi are now in such a disgraceful state that they are used as venues for funerals and such events. We have no respect for the practice of servicing facilities. We put them up with much fanfare; thereafter we behave as if the facilities should take care of themselves. This is a National Disease of Ghana and applies equally to all institutions and political parties..

Ghanaians, let's be fair, honest and truthful to ourselves, do we think in this 21st century civilization and our attitude we can achieve heaven with such laurels comparing with other well structured countries? Then, God will be unfair!!!
Per the most recent census, we claimed over 75% are Christians but, see how corruption, dishonesty has engulfed the country?! Who are we deceiving...God or ourselves?!
