Just cancel the tournament, that's all! Human live is at stake. The blackman is so complex, simple understanding is our problem.

But why did Morocco allow Guinea to play their home matches in Morocco? Don't the Guineans have the virus?
Do you see why you Africans are called monkeys?

What is so extraordinary about the AFCON 2015 that if we do not postpone it then what? The guy whose picture is posted above is called Issa Hayatou. He is Cameroonian national. Last time I checked Cameroon has never held the AFCON games on their soil except to take part in the qualification tournaments.

What an amazing opportunity to bring it home and open their doors to all Africa?

Ghanaians should give John Mahama, Burkina Faso red card if he is so stupid to bring this game into Ghana at this time when countries with even better health facilities than Ghana are running away from it. We know he and his thieving gangs can run away to abroad to seek medical attention. The common folks cannot, and that is why this Ebola teasing tournament should not be entertained in Ghana. Issa Hayatou can take the games and shove it up his ass. We can not risk our lives at the behest of kwasea bi nti.

We have already made ourselves the butt of jokes around the world in Brazil. We should raise hell fire under John Mahama feet if he goes on to bring the game to Ghana.

No weapon formed against africa will property. Africans will host afcon even if it means life or death! Will ebola be a forgone fake disease next yr, the yr after etc....? For all we know, the so called victims of this disease MAY increase. Then again, look at the stinky toto stadiums we have known Ghana. Shame on the Ghana politicians, president. U dey house with broken furniture, dirty homes, choked gutters...........everything basaa, like bazaar. We don't even have the facilities to host this afcon on short notice! What a shame! All this money coming out of ghana and into ghana? Where is the fucking cash?

Issa Hayatou, the current president of CAF is a Cameroonian. If he so hell bent on hosting the 2015 AFCON at all cost against common sense in the outbreak of Ebola in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, let the fool host it in his native country Cameroon. What a moron.

Right on the money let this power drank Cameroonian take it to Cameroon you know why Hayatou would not do Boko Haram.

I personally don't think for a minute that hosting it in any AFRICAN COUNTRY is a good idea either. Simply because the love of the Sport would most probably attract very large enthusiasts to flock to any particular country; thereby the spread of the disease becoming a reality.

Therefore, our despot African Leaders should try and remove the Dollar sense they could smell out of the tournament for the sake of the Health of the people.

SO, WAKE UP YOU GREEDY BASTARDS!!!!

This shows that CAF executives don't reason. Mahama should not play politics with this. He should simply tell CAF in plain language that Ghana cannot host the games until a vaccine or cure has been found for Ebola.

The only reason why The Stallion want the Afcon to go on was to give him an excuse to get into V-Power. Morocco allowed Guineans for one reason all the Guinea players do not live in Guinea but the tournament is open to everyone you can't stop anyone for coming. Make sense to postpone it but that Hayatou want his day in the limelight so he had thrown common sense out of the window.

We are not monkeys but money conscious.I believe those greedy pharmaceutical companies are the ones influencing Morocco not to host until they have made their money out of their vaccinations.

What is so special about football that a country would have to risk the lives of its citizens to host the tournament? The tournament should be suspended til 2016.

Morocco's decision makes a lot of sense to me. If we as a continent can't find any cure or a vaccine for this deadly disease, at least we should support the people who are researching to contain the spread of the disease. My take,i think the players should boycott the tournament, agents looking to recruit potential players should certainly avoid the tournament, CAF should postpone the tournament and as far as Ghana hosting the tournament, tweaa we are not prepared but it Mahama the panhandler, who knows,
