Ghana is NOW like Haiti!!! There was only one airport in Haiti and when the disaster strucked,aid donors HAD it so hard to send humanitarian reliefs because the only one international airport
was destroyed. just imaginING if Ghana is not the same as Haiti??!! Building one international airport in Kumasi has turnED into tribal politics!!#
President John Dramani Mahama has added a whopping GHc15.6 BILLION to Ghana’s total public debt stock since being sworn into office as caretaker and substantive president within the period from July 2012 to August 2013.
This implies that President John Mahama has contracted a total of GHc15.6 BILLION of debt for Ghanaians since becoming the President of Ghana.
WHAT DO WE HAVE TO SHOW FOR ALL THIS DEBT? LOOK AT GH? SMELLY, DUSTY...OPEN GUTTERS I MEAN WHY? HOW? WHO VOTED FOR NDC? GO N CLAIM YOUR SHARE....
JUST WATCH, AFTER MAHAMA LEAVES. GHPPL WILL NEVER, EVER VOTE FOR A NORTHNER EVER AGAIN.....JUST WATCH!

Hmmmmmm, I'm very sorry for the GBStars, because the mysteries of the GREAT PYRAMIDS still remained UNKNOWN. However, when it comes to the 'SUPREMACY' between a CLOUD AND THE STARS, your guess is as good as mine. The die has been cast and I could see the "Egyptians Pharaohs" with their 'ABRACADABRA MAGIC' eclipsing the Ghana Black Stars with their "EGYPTIAN CLOUD." What a piece of phenomenon event to watch. That is a wonderful food for thought. No insult please.

I hope the government is aware that most of those 10000 will not like to go back to their desert. Ghana is not a dumping ground for Moslem brotherhood criminals. Make sure they go back after we beat them.

Redemption Camp: Largest 'City of God' on earth
Wednesday, September 25, 2013
By Ajibola Amzat, Armsfree Ajanaku, and Laolu Adeyemi

GOING by the breakneck speed with which they whiz through the mostly craggy and pothole-ridden portions of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, many motorists would seem to know very little about the Redemption Camp beyond its signboards and its modest white gate. This afternoon, however, a billboard outside the gate shows a mother smiling down at her baby. It is a picture of complete satisfaction from both. The photograph illustrates the theme of the Holy Ghost Service, 'God Will Make You Laugh,' which was held on September 6. Considering the decent condition of living in the Redemption Camp as The Guardian discovered during its tour, and what is obtainable in other Nigerian towns and cities, the prayers of the residents may have already been answered.

* How former den of robbers, wild animals became a place of worship

A camp of many wonders

AT the entrance of the Camp, a nondescript security man looks casually at approaching vehicles before waving them in. On the right side of the gate, a neat and orderly row of tricycles painted in green with white stripes awaits commuters going into the Camp. Quietly, and without the hassles characterising life in other Nigerian settlements, passengers walk to the tricycle taxi park, take their seats, and the journey begins through a network of streets linked by tarred roads.

There is no noisy honking and blaring of horns. Drivers neither jeer nor rain curses on other roads users. And there are no trailers threatening to tip over and spill their inflammable content on hapless road users. There are also no traffic snarls and all the disorder associated with life in most of Nigeria's chaotic cities. A number of road signs indicate a speed limit of between 15 and 25 km per hour. Wafting from loudspeakers in different parts of the camp is mellow Christian music. The soothing effect of the songs is occasionally interrupted by the deep baritone voice of the General Overseer (GO) of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor E.A. Adeboye, who makes exhortations in recorded messages. Next are the Pentecostal naming of the roads and streets: Redeemer Avenue, Victory Avenue, Salvation Way, Love Road, Holiness Road, New Song Road, and the list goes on. Streets and addresses in the Redemption Camp get their names from the biblical narratives and experiences.

Unlike many Nigerian towns and cities where existence is dreary, nasty and often extremely disorganised, the Redeemed Camp is a town that works. The air is clean and fresh, the roads are free of potholes, and the general decay associated with urban living in Nigeria is almost non-existent in the Camp. Electricity supply is uninterrupted, clean water runs at the tap, environment is sanitised and decent transportation system is in place. Nonetheless, The Guardian observed during its tour of the area that, the sanity and serenity of the Redeem City might not be as a result of daily session of prayer, praise and worship. Rather authorities in the town have painstakingly made and implemented rules and regulations to ensure that the place is not turned to yet another Nigerian nightmare.

Rules and regulations governing behaviour in the Camp are clearly spelt out in one of the billboards; "no hawking and no loitering during service." There is also a list of rules that the camp dwellers are to observe. For instance, while the government in Lagos, as well as many other states across the country is battling tooth and nail to rid its domain of the activities of motorbike (Okada) riders, the authorities at the Redemption Camp simply insisted that the place be a no-go area for motorcycle taxis. The result is that cars are free to move without the risk of colliding with bikes, while commuters are spared the ordeal of falling off speeding bikes and breaking their limbs. Instead of the reckless run of commercial motorcycles, what obtains in the Camp is the beautiful sight of families riding bicycles as a way of exercising and relaxing.

An exclusive Christian community

Those in charge of affairs at the Camp mince no words about the fact that it is a Christian community. "This is the city of Christians," says the Senior Camp Maintenance Director, Pastor Dapo Adesina. As such, everything is arranged to give effect to the Christian message of the glory and splendour of the Almighty. The streets, especially at night, breathe in unsullied air from the surrounding foliage, giving the Redemption City a quality of celestial bliss. From the lampposts by the roads, silver glow on top casts a bright hallow upon the estates of buildings erected by Haggai Saving Loans, a community bank owned by RCCG.

According to RCCG website, Haggai has been able to develop over 66 units of houses and another 22 units in addition to 150 units of various types of bungalows. Other banks located within the Camp include Access Bank, UBA, GTB, Zenith Bank, Eco Bank. For a visitor, the residential and office areas are hardly distinguishable; the place is an open city. The estate comprises duplexes, bungalows, three and four-bedroom flats owned by members of the church. On the West side of the city are the offices that handle the bureaucracy. This includes the International Office, Camp Maintenance Department, Finance and Budget Department, Finance and Auditing Department, Pre-paid meter office, Security Unit, Redeemer Clinic, Directorate of Christian Education, Rehabilitation Centre, Electrical Department, as well as the Water Department. Right at the heart of the city is the sprawling Congress Arena measuring two-kilometer (length) by one kilometer (breadth).

According to the Redeemed Camp authorities, the auditorium contained more than two million worshippers during the last Holy Ghost Congress. During the Congress, the Camp metamorphosed into a Mecca of sorts, accommodating about 6 million people. The congregants came from 120 countries where RCCG branches are located. But on other days, except first Friday of the month slated for the Holy Ghost Service, Redemption Camp is a somber city. When there are no big events in the Camp, the auditorium is a sanctuary for the faithful who come to pray and make supplications to God.

During The Guardian tour of the auditorium recently, scores of people were seen meditating and having their quiet time. During these periods, when there are no major events, it is easier to stand close to the altar, a section of the temple considered to be exclusive preserve for the VIPs that attend the events. Few individuals in different positions of prayer scattered around the huge hall while cleaners and technicians were getting the auditorium ready for the Congress. Across the road, the voice of the G.O. echoed from a shopping complex. "You will not die this year..."

Within the Camp, there are several other structures like the main auditorium, the Redeemer University (RUN), The Redeemed Christian Bible College, Redeemer High School, International Guest House, post office, supermarket, power station, water treatment plant among others.

History of the Redemption Camp

The first foundation of the Redemption City, according to the church authorities, was laid in April 1983. Prior to that time, Pastor Adeboye, who had just retired from the University of Ilorin as the Head, Department of Mathematics and was living in Mushin area, Lagos was said to have prayed to God for a house. In response, God promised him a city. Adeboye's wife, Pastor Folu Adeboye, received revelation that the city must be built along the express road. But when a portion of land became available at Alagbado, the church could not afford the price. And since the church policy forbids borrowing, the authorities had to wait till the church could afford to foot the bill. Not long after, a portion of land near the Lagos-Ibadan expressway was available. The place was found out to be more accessible to members from other parts of the country. "And the rest, as they say, is history," said Adesina.

Today, Redemption City is a tranquil home to a population of about 10,000 people. It is perhaps the largest Christian city in the world. Not even the Vatican City, established in 1929 and spread across 44 hectares of land, could boast of the population of the Redeemed City. Vatican City, according to CIA World Factsheet, is populated by 836 citizens, mostly priests. According to Pastor Adesina, though the Redeemed City is not patterned after the Vatican City, a sovereign entity within Rome, the city has aspiration to assume a political status in future. Residents of Redemption City participate in elections like other citizens in Ogun State, "but we do not allow political campaign in the city because we see ourselves as family members," said Adesina.

A former den of men of the underworld

Though Loburo settlement in Ogun State, the spot that now hosts the Camp was a den of robbers and wild animals in the early 1980s, the coming of the Camp has changed its history forever. Until the Redeemed Christian Church of God moved its Bible College to the place in 1983, it was a place where shady characters and hardened criminals carried out their nefarious activities. The story has it that the place was so unsafe for commuters that they did all they could to avoid falling prey to the men of the underworld who prowled the area unchallenged. Through the massive construction of roads and houses, the former hideout for criminals has now been transformed into a haven that even foreigners find attractive, thereby generating foreign exchange for the country.

Importantly, the Camp has been able to shatter what is becoming a myth in Nigeria, that generating adequate electricity supply to meet the people's need is a herculean task. As such, the darkness that envelopes many parts of the country, crippling economic activities and making life miserable for both the rich and the poor, does not exist in Redeemed Camp. With its 10 megawatts power generation plant, which provides electricity for homes, businesses, offices, and the auditorium, the Camp has come off self-sufficient in its power needs. From the main gate to the big auditorium, the light bulbs shone uninterrupted.

Pastor Taiwo Ajewole, an engineer at the Electrical Department of the Redeemed City said the community relies on the turbine powered by diesel and compressed natural gas to generate electricity. The efficiency of the turbine system ensures that the camp stays aglow all day. So constant is power supply that beverage and frozen food vendors in the area are forced to switch off their refrigerators for days, in order to defrost their products before offering them for sale. Aside this, the city also has its own independent water treatment dam that produces no fewer than six million litres of potable water daily. It is thus no surprise that many residents of Lagos and Ogun states are beginning to flock the area in order to enjoy some of these benefits, which has triggered massive development along the corridor, and has impacted on real estate business especially.

Within 30 years, the area has become so transformed that the vision, according to church sources is now to continue the expansion and consolidate on the achievements recorded thus far.

According to Pastor Adesina, the GO's modest request for a house was granted by God in form of a city that has now become the cynosure of eyes within Nigeria, and internationally.

The camp in the eyes of residents

A 46-year-old businesswoman in the city told The Guardian she enjoys life in the Camp because of the constant and uninterrupted power supply. "The only time the light goes off is when technicians are doing maintenance of the turbine. And if it happens, it is only for an hour or thereabout. And they usually inform us before they switch off light. As I speak now, I have switched off my freezer for the past three days because everything in the fridge is frozen."

Similarly, a former electricity metre-billing officer in Lagos enthused that life is different in the camp compared to what obtains in Lagos city where she once lived. "People move around here 24 hours and people come in to pray anytime of the day. It is a safe haven because you can move anytime. The security here is better than in the main Lagos city. In fact there was a time I forgot my shop key here for three days and I came back just to meet my things safe and intact." She continued: "It may also interest you to know that all the roads in this city are constructed by the church. There is even a tarred road that leads to Ikorodu from the back of our own auditorium."

Before deciding to go into the sale of Christian books, bibles and soft drinks in the Camp, another resident said she had worked for 21 years in one hospital in Lagos. Despite the number of hours she put in the job, her earnings at the hospital was never commensurate to her input. But the little profit she makes from doing business in the Camp now is enough for her family upkeep. "I closed my eyes to the salary and the free medical service I was receiving together with my family from my former office, and relocated here, and I am enjoying my life here in Redemption City. Though I may not be making millions, I am contented with my stress-free business in the city." She further revealed that she used to spend an average of N16,000 weekly for fuelling her generator when she was living at Alagbado. In the camp, however, she says the fuel inside her generator has dried up because there was no need to use it for a period of time.

"We also have primary school, secondary school and tertiary institution and there are banks here too. Everything is well organised here. You must, however, not operate any business on Sunday morning because everybody is expected to be in church. You may come after church service to open, but certainly not during worship hour."

Likewise, Olayinka Olayiwola, a plumber working with the Dam Department in the

city is also a resident of the Redeemed Camp. According to him, the Camp produces about six million litres of potable water for drinking. "Anytime my department needs power supply, we get it. I enjoy living and working here and I don't think I intend to leave here for now because there is security, regular power supply and good road network."

Engineer Taiwo Ajewole, who works in the Electrical Department echoed

Olayiwola's position. He said although he spends an average of N4,000 per month on electricity, he is happy to pay because light is available. "I have light in my house 24 hours a day, seven days per week. Before I moved here I used to iron (sic) as many of my clothes as possible whenever PHCN light comes, now I iron my cloth only when I want to go out," he said.

The power of planning and transparency

So how does this model city get things right? How are the administrators able to carry on with their duties without lining their pockets with funds meant for the public good? Pastor Adesina, the maintenance helmsman at the camp spoke about the fear of God as the driving force behind the altruistic disposition of the people to serve in God's vineyard. He said officials are conscious that they are carrying out their duties, not just because they must be responsible to an earthly boss, but also because they will all stand before the Creator someday. He implied that the mind-boggling corruption being witnessed in government at local, state, and federal level is the result of the lack of the fear of God. "If you put money meant for church work in your pocket, one day, you will face your creator, and you will account for it," he said.

According to him, the church does not do anything based on human plan. Everything is based on the divine inspiration of the Almighty.

"As the Lord directs the authority of the church, they give us the guidelines and we implement. The project office maintains the existing roads. They are to make sure they fix all the potholes and regularly maintain the roads, so that there will not be traffic congestion, either during major or off major events period. So the roads are maintained regularly," he explained.

Indeed, the story of Redeemed City is like a bright star on a dark firmament, but more than anything else, it is a good account of triumph of human determination to create his own heaven right here on earth.

We need to use our home support to win the first match and by a big margin to make the Egypt trip a mere formality. From the look of things, it seems the Egyptians wants this more than the Ghanaians but we should also go to our business companies and solicit fund to make our supporters more boisterous and solid behind the players all the '93' minutes

Haaaa you made me daff brother Sien, the fact that the Ghanaians soccer authorities don't talk too much upon any big soccer encounters does not necessary means, we don't mean business. The Egyptian were trying to get to our heads that's all. They have social, Religion and political problems to deal with and they want to use this match between them to divert attention. They would have only 3 to 4 hundred seats that is all.

Ofcourse! By virtue of your birth
as a Ghanaian, a loving heart at that as a fact and not a rule, not hating yourself as the rule and not a fact,
you would naturally wish Ghana walks over Egypt. Just like that.

However, ours as soccer journalists in free lancing, you must feed the public the prose and cons on both sides of the coin.

Ghana, our beloved country, after having hosted the coveted AFC in 2008 and lost, have been ghostly chasing trophies in the African domain but in vain thirty something years after the last trophy,but pasaaaa.

In a face saving spree, by a collective efforts, have managed to triumphantly entered two consecutive WC tournaments and still counting.
We are trying to join a few African soccer elite countries that have made it three in a row so to say.
Nothing can stop us from achieving that goal.

Much in the same vain, Egypt, tho has tasted WC once, is the one and only African country that have hoisted the 'ultimate deal' three plus four times.

Burying themselves in shame, they got devastated when they missed the latest WC and the AFC in a consecutive rhythm.

In every normal street sense, one would have gone home and brooded over his loss or take stock of his gains and losses:To evolve/adopt a strategy that would shoot them up into the games winning rhythm.
What happened in the build up to the WCQ as they meet Ghana need not be over emphasized. They were unbeaten!

Now, do you think, they'll take it lightly with the country that stand between them and the WC derby?
Hell mo.

It is so natural, very consequential, quite instinctive on their last nerve that they put up a fight, a strategic fight to achieve their goal.

Besides, they have been made aware that, the only mediator that can enhance peace in their political rotten country is that lifeless round object called football.

To this end, they will fight every tooth and nail with the hope such feat could stabilize the political jazz in the war torn but historical Egypt thru football.

That not to say, the encounter posses a serious threat to Ghana advancing.
But that is purely about the mind.
Considering the scenarios so far developed, I must confess, my mind is not at ease with myself koraa.

I hear a lot from my contemporaries, one of which is POWer.
POwer assuage to this fact: Ghana plays better when they meet tougher opponents. Ghana shall, OOPS! will beat Egypt,POWer assures me.

Assuredly, the MRAA himself have had this to say: Beat the best, be with the best in Brazil.
What more can I say or believe other than to take notes from these resources person.

But then, the mind is an amazing mechanism. When your mind works one way, it can carry you forward to outstanding success. But the same mind operating in a different manner can produce a total failure.
Like Washington post ad, says, a mind id a terrible thing to waste.

Am I wasting my mind away?
Is my mind made up?
I don't think so.
Am just being passionate about my GBS, about the game, my pride as a Ghanaian living among the worldly soccer enthusiasts and all that which makes man, a man.
The more my country wins, the more my horizon is emblazoned.

In spite of my misgivings, I know about one thing: Preparedness.
The act of determination, energy and confidence must over crowd all facets of our preparation so as to meet Egypt squarely. And with that, the win shall be ours for the taking.

Sarsk,
Don't play with me, lol. You made my Sunday afternoon because I'm laughing my head off for I feel exactly the same way as you do and therefore my comments. I don't see any hunger in our players, more precisely put our players are less hungrier than the Egyptians who will not mind buying the game for $20-40 million for their nations, lol, and you know our football executives. If there is anything GFA executives care more for than footie, then it is the love for the American dead presidents on green papers that is universally accepted as legal tender.

Sarsk, your statements about "considering the scenarios so far developed, I must confess, my mind is not at ease with myself koraa" (Sarskoberta) is the reason soccer loving Ghanaians and fanatic like us are not too sure about our players dedication and passion for this two-legged affairs with the Pharaoh's of Egypt. I know our boys are really good but this boils down to hunger, passion and determination within the coaching and playing staff. Will GFA give the coach a free hand to deliver without interfering? Can the coach be wise enough not to take a bribe and field the wrong players because they paid tens of thousands of dollars? With African teams, it is not usually who can play sometimes, but who can pay to play in certain instances.

With all that said, I dare Kwesi Appiah not to allow himself to be influenced by anyone else except his coaching staff. The coaching staff need to explain why they think certain players should play and why others more suited for this style of game should stay on the bench. The players should show their desire to play in order to be fielded because half of the game is won mentally before stepping onto the fields for most teams and if Ghana has that mentality, we'll be going for our third world cup in 2014

Sien my brother, where have you all been? Have you heard of the General Turbulence and Captain Taajah? Meeen, I miss you brothers!

Any way, about the seats at Kumasi Stadium, are they not 40,000 or so? If they are 40,000 as I thought, then I think, I'm not certain about this fact though, they will give them that 1/4 of the total they are asking.

Waow! 10,000 for Egypt, is too much though. Our security services will have to be really tight. This is the time they will really do their job.

From the moment the ballot was revealed as Ghana vs. Egypt, the whole center where the activity took place, busted into noise. When Ivory Coast's pair was mentioned nothing happened; when Nigeria's pair was mentioned too, there was no noise. When the ballot sheet of Ghana was revealed, nothing happened until Egypt's was opened as our opponent. A silent place began to have life to a point that they were asked to wait until the press conference. This was a sign that the pair was the toughest among the groups.

Whether they are coming with 10,000 or 40,000, we live to see. Yes, fans can play a major role in a match of this tensity, but for this one, there should be no excuse from the playing body, whether 10,000 tickets are given to the Egyptians or less, if they beat us in this match.

All will be over after 15 of October, not even the 19th of November which is the date of the second leg of this encounter. I believe so.

Can you please explain the above statement football has no logic if it was so Zambia would playing Egypt and not Ghana whoever thought Sudan who had no dog in the fight went to Zambia and spoiled their day. No Ghana would be sitting comfort until November 19, we can beat Egypt 4 goal to 0 and Egypt would find a way to beat Ghana 4 in Cairo with help of the man in the center (referee)I am yet to see Fifa over ruling a game based on referee errors or bad judgement. 2010 world cup comes to mind France should not have been South Africa if the referee had seen or and disallowed the hand goal.

However, whilst sparse home support demoralizes players, massive home support win games 90% of the time.
True or false.?

The only logic in football I can attest to, OOPS! I can formulate is, and are:

1. Players win games, coaches don't.
2. Good team win games 90% of the time.
3. Bad team lose games 90% of the time.
4. Local players don't fare well nationally, foreign players fare better.
5.Coaches can develop talents but can't teach skills.
6.Soccer favours Tall players, it does not favour short players.
7.Referees can mar the beauty of games
8.No matter how good a goalkeeper is, porous defense can render him useless.
9. Teams for tournaments have equal chance for the ultimate.
10.Football rightly describe the game, soccer does not.

All the above logical conclusions are entirely mine.
Dissensions are mostly welcome.

Ma Bru Slimzay,
The Egypt team is really playing very well and that's the team I was afraid of Ghana being paired with. We have problems beating North African teams, Tlecem Disaster anyone! We also have another problem on our hand with Bob Bradley looking for revenge for the 2-1 defeat we inflicted on his USA 2010 team that eventually caused him his job. Egypt may also try to use this game to stabilize their country, just like Ivory Coast did years ago. It is not the greatness of the Egyptian team I'm afraid of, it is rather the combination of factors that might give them a boost and a will power to win. We need all the prayers we can get to get the team of this hump, that's Egypt. They're more hungrier than we are because they have not been to the world cup since it became the single largest religion without God but only GOALS, lol

I strongly advise Coach Appiah and his men to watch out for the Egyptian tricks plays.Man to man through out the game.Start with the fast tempo and end on the same note.The defend should come to play through out.
The Egyptian said they don,t fear Black African like their Arab brothers.They think they are smarter than black African.They always beat Ghana with trick plays.Smart Coach team never get beat twice by the same team.Find out from the previous game you lost to the team and emphasis on the reason or weakness why they beat u.Pump up the players through pep talk.My pep talk to them will be a name.FAST AND FURIOUS BLACK STARS.

YES THEY HAVE EVERY REASON TO SHIT IN THEIR PANTS BECAUSE THE EGYPTIANS ARE NOT WALKOVERS LIKE ZAMBIANS.

THE PHAROAHS HAVE BEATEN GHANA CONVINCINGLY IN RECENT TIMES UNDER COACH HASSAN SHEHATA.

UNDER THE AMERICAN COACH, EGYPT CAN HUMILIATE GHANA IF WE CONTINUE TO PLAY THE GAME OF FOOTBALL AS IF WE ARE SHY OF THE OPPOSING GOAL KEEPERS.

"STRIKER" ASAMOAH GYAN WHO SCORES ONE GOAL IN EVERY FORTY MISSED CHANCES CANNOT BE A GOOD STRIKER WITH THE "KILLER INSTINCT" OF GOOD STRIKERS.

THAT'S WHY WE NEED THE LIKES OF MUNTARI AND DEDE UPFRONT, WITH MICHAEL ESSIEN "THE BISSON" HOLDING THE MIDFIELD AND JOHN MENSAH STRUTTING HIS STUFF IN DEFENCE.

WE WILL NEVER BEAT EGYPT IF KWESI APPIAH CONTINUES TO PLAY THE TRIBAL CARD, BECAUSE THE EGYPTIANS MEAN BISINESS.

Ghana is NOW like Haiti!!! There was only one airport in Haiti and when the disaster strucked,aid donors HAD it so hard to send humanitarian reliefs because the only one international airport
was destroyed. just imaginING if Ghana is not the same as Haiti??!! Building one international airport in Kumasi has turnED into tribal politics!!#
President John Dramani Mahama has added a whopping GHc15.6 BILLION to Ghana’s total public debt stock since being sworn into office as caretaker and substantive president within the period from July 2012 to August 2013.
This implies that President John Mahama has contracted a total of GHc15.6 BILLION of debt for Ghanaians since becoming the President of Ghana.
WHAT DO WE HAVE TO SHOW FOR ALL THIS DEBT? LOOK AT GH? SMELLY, DUSTY...OPEN GUTTERS I MEAN WHY? HOW? WHO VOTED FOR NDC? GO N CLAIM YOUR SHARE....

Egypt may win not because the Egyptians are too good but because GFA and some Ghanaians lack confidence. Football these days are played by the youth and not old men who are in their late 30s and early forties. Ghanaian players are mostly old and this is why any team that wants to defeat Ghana could deliver the killer punches in the second half. This post is not about hatred as i am a west african first and foremost before being an African. I am so surprised that Ghana is acting as if it is scared of the Egyptians with so many conflicting decisions like match date in kimasi and the Players to be called. Call up kwadwo asamoah, asamoah gyan, muntari, the ayew brothers with one or two other foreign based young players and miss them up with players of Berekun Chelsea of Ghana and you would discover that Egypt will be humiliated in kumasi and cairo. Egyptians are good at club level only and forget the chanced victories they've had against Ghana recently. If Ghana is focused , Egypt will fall flat! Ghana should stop treating the Egyptians with so much respect and allow the Egyptians to do all the talking. There is no need for calling old players who may end up not delivering the goods. The Egytians are not as good as some Ghanaians think. Egypt is beatable . GFA should plan well and remain focused. Ghana can beat Egypt but the GFA has to remain focused. GFA and Ghanaians need not be afraid of These Egyptians.
