I have the same question people just want to simplify everything. My question to Hardi, Ibrahim is how come Fifa can get result and UN cannot. Compare Fifa to UN and come back. Example Fifa has no governmental interference clause and every dare not cross that line. UN cannot even get U.N. sanctions on Syria to work.

This is an inspiring and thought-provoking piece with a view to igniting unity and purposeful resolve among the population. Hope our wayward politicians will take a cue from the nationalistic message of this article.

If Ghana is able to organize and tactically plan its economy and growth the way it does football, the results would be amazing. Ghana has so much potential, but it is wasted every day.

When wisdom is posted here, nobody reads it. When lies and unprofitable twisted media trash is posted here, the unwise, Ghana destroyers will just jump to it and say all manner of nonsensical comments about it. Supporting and with myopic views and arguing from most of the time, unwise point of view.

How I wish people will read and comment on this piece. I hope this man will spread this message around. And even Ghanaweb should re-post and re-post it so many times. Thank you man. Well written piece. You have advised us with all neutrality and sense of God fearing.
I think you will not be denied heaven if you sleep. God bless you. You are a true Ghanaian.

Mr Ibrahim, absolutely brilliant article. I am very impressed with the way have you successfully sculptured your analogy from football and applied it to Ghana's economic development. I share many of the points you have raised and just as yourself hope that Ghanaians will learn to depend on ourselves rather than continuously going around with a begging bowl for donations. Ghana possesses everything that is needed to propel us into a self sufficient middle income economy. If everyone does their part genuinely, honestly, consistently and put the nation first, it will not take too long before Ghana emerges from its economic doldrums and begin to flex its power on the global stage. I have for a while being stating that all these years are our second down, all the pieces are beginning to come together nicely, if our leaders orchestrate our enormous economic, human resource and other potential the right way, Ghana, just like the Black Stars will without a doubt enter the world stage economically. God bless Ghana.

What an article! This is awesome! Picking up from the sport we love so much to end up on the country's economy, where we fall so short. God bless you for the advice, Mr. Ibrahim.

I hope the 2014 WC could as well bring us something tangible to learn from.

Now politicians, kings, leaders and rest of those leading the country, like a commentator used to say, over to you, Joe Lartey!

That is a nice piece of advise but why people like you try to politicise every thing that goes on in the country?It is even wrong for you to suggest that the current labor strikes in the country is because of(political)party politics.Can you remember some of the utterances of the MPs who were demanding to be paid all the arrears owned them by the government which more or less amounted to taking strike action if they were not paid? Is that also a party politics ?have you forgotten they have awarded themselves big salaries and allowances,mismanagement and corruption every where ?

Lovely article. This is how every Ghanaian should think. This is how to build a nation. Most of the nauseating articles on Ghanaweb need to be replaced by thought provoking ones like this.

Whether one agrees with the analogy or not is immaterial; at least, it sets up a decent platform for a mature discourse towards nation building.

GHANA FOR GOD SAKE, WHAT IS THIS ABOUT SEEKING SELF RECOGNITION ABOUT PERFOMANCES AT THE WORLD CUP GERMANY & SOUTH AFRICA. WHY DO POEPLE IN GHANA FOOTBALL ALWAYS PRETEND AS THOUGH NO COUNTRY IN AFRICA EVER REACHED THE SEMI FINALS OF THE WORLD CUP. THE NOISE ABOUT GHANA BEATING AMERICA, CHEC REPUBLIC & SERBIA AND ALL ABOUT FIFA RANKING IS VERY DECEPTIVE OF THE REAL PERFORMANCE OR ARCHIVEMENTS OF GHANA IN THE LAST TWO WORLD CUP.

FIRST OF ALL, CAMEROUN, SENEGAL, & MORROCO WERE THE FIRST AFRICAN COUNTRIES TO QUALIFIED TO THE WORLD CUP QUARTER FINALS WITH STERLING PERFOMANCES OF BEATING TOP EUROPEAN FOOTBALL NATIONS ON THE ROUTE TO DOING SO, CAMEROUN ALMOST GOT TO THE SEMI FINALS IF NOT FOR DUBIOUS PENALTY AWARDED ENGLAND, SENEGAL BEAT FRANCE ON THEIR FIRST ATTEMPT AND EVEN REACHED THE QUARTER FINALS, NIGERIA THOUGH NEVER GOT TO QUARTER FINAL BUT STUNNINGLY DEFEATED SPAIN ON THE WORLD STAGE AND THE QUEEN OF SPAIN OPENLY WEPT IN THE CROUD.

GHANA HAS NEVER BEATEN ANY TOP EUROPEAN FOOTBALL NATION IN ANY COMPETITIVE GAME SO WHAT IS THE FUSS ABOUT USA, CHEC REPUBLIC ETC THAT THE BLACK STARS HAVE MADE SO MUCH NOISE ABOUT, JUST AN ATTEMPT TO SEEK SELF RECOGNITION WHEN BLACK STARS STRUGGLE TO EVEN GET TO QUARTER FINALS OF AN AFRICAN FOOTBALL COMPETITIONS. LET GHANA MEASURE ITS REAL FOOTBALL STRENGHT NOT BY BEATING TIRED AGELESS EGYPTIANS NATIONAL TEAM BUT BY WHY CAPE VERDE, BURKINA FASO, MALI & ZAMBIA MESMERISES AND DISGRACES THE BLACK STARS ON ANY BIG STAGE. YET THE BIG MOUTH JOURNALISTS ALWAYS TRY TO TWIST HISTORY IN AN ATTEMPT TO PLEASE THEIR READERS. ENOUGH OF THESE EMPTY SELF PRAISE WHICH IS CREATING LAUGHTER IN OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRIES. BIG UP TO CHIPOLOPOLO.

This is an excellent narrative juxtaposing NDC/NPP governments with the Black Stars. The fact that people sell mansions and invest proceeds in politics is one of the major causes of corruption, that is sinking us as a nation. There should be a national consensus on how political parties in Ghana should be financed.

A lot of people wept when Asamoah Gyan,missed that penalty.But a former Minister (NPP)administration openly jubilaited when Gyan missed the penalty.
Can we develop as a Nation if selfish and myopic ones like this former regional minister behave like this? Ghana is not for NDC nor NPP. What we need is Unity of purpose.It will not take 4 years for us to achieve the ultimate should we come together as one nation, one people with a common
destiny. To the likes of the former minister and his likes, may be from the NDC God will punish them.They are perpertually cursed.AMEN
