  Hello youth of Ghana. You can take your own life with medicine ....... For instance 15 paracetamol at once. Or combine medicine and akpeteshie or weedicide.

  Ghana isn’t just losing footballers—it’s bleeding talent, and the reasons are as dramatic as they are damning.
  Money Talks, the League Walks
  Players aren’t leaving—they’re running. Why? Because even a benchwarmer abroad earns more than a local star at home. The cash gap is outrageous, and everyone knows it.
  Local Clubs in Meltdown
  From crumbling pitches to dodgy contracts, players say the local league is a “career trap.” Some describe club management as pure chaos—and that’s them being polite.
  Corruption Rumours on Fire
  Whispers? No—shouts. Many believe national team selections are greased by envelopes, not talent. If you don’t “know someone,” forget the Black Stars dream. No wonder players are fleeing the drama.
  Dreams Delayed, Careers Derailed
  With no clear path to greatness at home, young talents are ditching Ghana ASAP. They refuse to gamble their futures on a system that looks more broken by the day.
  Chasing the Bright Lights
  Europe, America, even smaller African leagues—anywhere but here. Abroad, the scouts are watching, the cameras are rolling, and the doors to stardom actually open.
  Bottom line:
  Ghana’s footballers aren’t just leaving for fun—they’re escaping a system they believe can’t help them shine.

  Mediocre and nothing to write home about.

  The truth is that home-based players are not good enough. The best of Ghana players leave at young age to Europe and other highly paying leagues. So it's the ones that are not good enough that remain in Ghana with the poor pay and poor football infrastructure and you can see why even the best in our leagues cannot compete with the South Africans and North African league leaders. Money talks in modern football!

  Sarforo, I think that is just a minor reason for the exodus of our players abroad. The major reason is the poor handling of our league. Poor refereeing, poor emoluments, and improper recruitment of the players by the clubs. With regards to the third reason, the clubs should sign only players who woold be willing to play for the clubs for at least four consecutive years before they could leave the club to foreign lands. This will make our league attractive and competitive.
