  We are questioning Fatau Dauda No.1 status based on what the Black Star coach trainer had said and Fatau Dauda own way of going about things.

  I was one of the very few that said FATAU shouldn't go to South Africa, thus when he went and got benched I was like "I told you so". However, I've been very supportive of him in spite of the bashings some of my colleagues give and this piece from Nii throws a better light on Fatau's issue than I'v ever read anywhere. The advice Nii gave on what we should do and what we shouldn't have done as a nation is very commendable and I'll entreat the powers that be to open their eyes on this article for it's full of meat for the benefit of our nation's soccer.

  Look Richard Kingston was No.1 in his team when he transferred to Wigan Athletic F.C. the coach even called him useless he was No.3 he transferred again to Blackpool and warm the bench until the number had gotten injurer when he came back Kingston went back warm bench all these years Kingston was Ghana's No.1
  
  Richard Kingston did not start a media
  campaign or war trying to defend his bench warming.
  
  Fatau Dauda on the other hand responding to all the media nonsense and go ahead to hire the Black Star goalkeeper trainer to train him just like hiring an examiner or prosecutor who would determine either you pass or fail or go to jail or stay out of jail.
  
  We living in country where there is total mistrust coaches has been accused over and over of accepting bribe or prefer other teams to another GFA members make sure certain players are called all these does not help Fatau Dauda case. On top of all the Black Star goalkeeper trainer statement on bases of selection had created this cloud.

  Your analysis my brother is on point! The media should cut him a slack, hopefully this article will be the last one on ghanaweb before the world cup.

  FATAU MADE A PERFECT CHOICE FOR LEAVING GHANA TO PLAY SOCCER IN SOUTH AFRICA.
  
  A PERFECT CHOICE BECAUSE THE MONEY HE GOT PLAYING FOOTBALL IN GHANA IS A FRACTION OF HIS SOUTH AFRICA WAGE.
  
  IF HE GOES ON RETIREMENT WARMING THE BENCH IN SOUTH AFRICA, AT LEAST HE'D HAVE SAVED SOME MONEY TO FALL BACK ON IN RETIREMENT.
  
  SO THE BOTTOM LINE IS HE MADE A GOOD CHOICE AGAINST PLAYING IN HOPELESS GHANA.

  IF THE SOUTH AFRICAN CLUB WANTS TO PLAY FATHER CHRISTMAS WITH THEIR MONEY INSTEAD ROTATING THEIR GOAL KEEPERS, THAT'S THEIR FOOLISHNESS.

  To be honest Fatau is not the number one goolkeeper in Ghana.He is nowhere near Kwarasey but thanks to the goolkeeping coach.

  Well written piece, we have all taken a course of action to better ourselves and family? If you haven't ever! then you are not an achiever or go getter. I understand the pressure and the frustration Fatau is dealing coupled with the constant media bashing/ I wish him well and will encourage him to be hopeful and have faith. The same God who brought him the ascendancy from Okwahu to Goldfields and to the Black stars will redeem you in all of these. Please pray and I believe you do, knowing all that you are going through.

  I believe there is a big conspiacy going on. For example, football is all about bribery especially when something like the World Cup is at stake. I feel in my heart, that millions of dollars are being pumped into Orlando Pirates secretely by either of Ghana's WC opponents. It's just one way of weakening your opponent. They're probably hoping for a weaker kingston--rather than Ghana's prolific Dauda.
