What did you do with all your money. Blame yourself but not the nation. We all still love you.
The soccer legend has every reason to complain and lament about the way this country understands 'patriotism.' D K Poison's sad story readily comes to mind here, where he lent his personal money to the nation at the instance ...

Complain about what? What does he want, money? He did not state how the country has rejected him. He want employment as a Coach or what? I don't get what he is complaining about. These Players used their money and fame to cha ...

Go to pig farm in Accra, a suburb very close to Nima and Abelemkpe aka "nkati3 nnye first" and you'll find a mosque built by Polo as a goodwill gesture. I've only seen the outside of it and have no clue what the inside look ...

Although what Polo is saying is true -- that our country doesn't honor her heroes -- it is equally true like Sammy the Sheriff wrote earlier that it is women and alcohol that collapsed most of the footballers.
I remember in ...

Make this man go and seek compensation from Ghana women!
Still the main man!!!
What a bunch of contradictions? Didn't you state that Polo and other former players alike are not EMPLOYABLE? How do you reconcile that with your last statement that Polo, who doesn't have employable skills should go and find ...

There is no contradiction in my post. The Polo's of this world want to be given positions they are not qualified for but you made suggestions about some jobs they can do, etc, truck pushers and watchmen. What is wrong if they ...

Sheriff I don't think you got the import of what I stated or you just didn't pay attention. What I'm saying is that the 'band aid - called bandage in Ghana' approach to issues is not helping us. It is not the duty of the gove ...

DK Poinson was a professional boxer. His purse was his. If he decided to be a superrstar by donating it to the nation he should not blame anyone if he is broke. We pay taxes to enable the nation run its affairs so if after th ...

The then GFA under Mr. Katy Ceaser fired Osam Duodoo and brought on Afranie. Afranie in his quest to impress brought on players that had really made a mark on African football but most of them were dead horses. Adolf Armah co ...

your are spot on but adolf armah and yawson were called but they were not part of the 23 players.
They were a bunch of "sunsum p3 na honam y3 mmr3ws" attempting to die for the nation and ended with enimguase akwaaba.

This comment is constructive. Truly he is a soccer God in Ghana and needs a marketing agency to use his image rights and name to help him make some money.
The dribbling professor who was full of dexterity and witty in the field of play has hit a dead end as is appears he doesn't know what to do after leaving the field of play.

Hey my friend Polo, you should produce a film called "Documentary of the legend Polo" and the people will buy. Right from the time you were playing for Seekers at Ruga near the 37 Military Hospital till you became a super sta ...

CORRECTION Mr.Mekyiri'nkontompo. You 4get to include ABEDI AYEW PELE. The player WHO took the number#6 jersey from Albert Asase in that Tournament.The youngest player of the Tournament "1982 Nation Cup held in Libya"
ALBERT ASASE PLAYED AS NUMBER 6 IN ALL THE MATCHES GHANA PLAYED IN LIBYA.
ABEDI PELE STARTED AS NUMBER 10 IN THE MATCH AGAINST TUNISIA IN PLACE OF KOFI BADU.
i remember an ex footballer who used to attend blackstars training told my elder brother that he heard the team manager telling seth ampadu that he would go to libya but he will not kick a ball.
Is A. A. Yayra the only writer at the Al Hajj?
HELP THE OLD PLAYERS WITH CASH ETC.GFA WAKE UP !!!
My brother, if u always leave it to GOD they'll continue to cheat u. Do like what other democratic people have rightly decided to do: GO TO SUPREME COURT!!!!!
hhmmmm polo begging? nothing is fr granted,
I AM LOST GO TO SUPREME COURT FOR WHAT
During the Polo days, money in soccer wasn't much like today. Young sportsmen are immature and need financial advisors to help them manage their money through good long term investments. This should be provided by the Sports ...

This has been the state of Africa.Many wants to get from their country instead of giving back. A nation of Hand outs,we must learn to be True Patriots.
