I think we can host afcon. Mahama, don't tie3y obiaa. Disaster nie3y! 2mths to plan? Muahahahahaaaaaaa
Just one case in Ghana and we're doomed. Ebola is basically prevented by hygiene. Do we have that?the villages would be wiped out-lol. Name one vaccine in the name of Ghana. Twwweeeaaaaa...
No to this request! Ghana should not take any chances! AFCON can be postponed, it is better thaat way!
Damn idiot. You called me 'Gyimie.' When there is an Ebola outbreak, what can CAF do to help Ghana? Money and Human life, which is more important. It does not sound reasonable for Ghana to host that game when others are runni ...

@Frank Ebola is not a hoax...It is really and very deadly. Cant you see what is happening in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea. I urge Ghana not to consider hosting this tournament. no matter the benefit
Our leaders should not allow this.We cant host it,its too dangerous bcos ebola.It should be cancelled.
Morocco is a more advanced and economically stronger than Ghana...If it is not prepared to take such a risk why should Ghana..he people at CAF are just thieves and greedy....they do no care if people die

Why do you people not think before spewing trash, is the government who have requested for the hosting of AFCON 2015, be sensitive in your comments.

No one wants to host the Ebola trophy!
Mr. Nyantekyi and Mr. Hayatou can keep it this year in their offices.
The Black stars are not good enough to even win the wooden spoon in the AFCON so why should we bring death to our shores? We are not hosting the Ebola AFCON.

The best thing is to cancel this tournament, Ghana must take this deadly disease very serious.even they shouldnt play the qualify series for the first place.
Ghana should not venture into hosting the nations cup.ISSAH Hayatu should ask cameroon to host it if he thinks its safe.The people of Ghana need peace and must be protected.
"ISSAH Hayatu should ask cameroon to host it if he thinks its safe".

South Africa would a better choice considering that Ghana is too close to the heavily affected countries and would be more difficult for us to contain the crowed that may flea from these countries.
How on earth can you see death and welcome it?what will it cost CAF if AFCON is postponed? let us channel the resources for organizing the tournament to fighting the Ebola menace in Africa.
well said!
What I would say is that knowing Ghanaian officials, hosting the tournament will force them to expedite the construction of Ebola isolation and treatment clinics. Without something to force the issue, they will certainly dr ...

WHY GHANA...WHAT DO THIS PEOPLE THINK ABOUT US AS A COUNTRY. WHY CANT WE POSTPONE THIS AFCON
In Ghana there's a Lavender Hill right in the capital city.
Cuz of Ebola ghana now have the chance of hosting afcon
The best is to postpone this tournament for One Year. Ghana should not offer to host it
N0 WE SHOULDN'T HOST IT IN THIS EBOLA TIME
TEST THE PLAYER BEFORE AND AFTER THE EVERY GAME.. TELL FANS TO WATCH GAMES ON TV... CAF SUSPEND MOROCCO SINCE THEY ARE READY FOR THE CONSEQUENCE
Not only are we deliberating on the 2015 AFCON tournament, we are even reconsidering our bid for 2017 with the view to withdraw that one entirely.
Algeria and Egypt are the best countries to host since arabs are the majority in CAF. God forbid Ghana host Ebola AFCON. Why can't Issah Hayatu should ask Cameroon to do so.
Arabs are the majority in CAF?
You're a liar.
Arab countries exceed the rest of Africa in CAF?
What are your numbers of representation?
OUR SPORTS MINISTER IS VERY WICKED,EBOLA WILL KILL HIM FIRST.
