Here is the reality. Morocco should have decided to host the final four and let the group stages be hosted by the top four seeds. The quarterfinals would be hosted by the group winners. Now, Morocco has made themselves a "villan". I understand their concern but they could have proposed a compromise that would have saved the situation and kept their citizens comfortable. As it stands now, it looks like they are scared of the "Black Africans" bringing Ebola. They will regret their position. I sense that Morocco will be eliminated from competitions for a long time to come.

Why do you want to see everything black and white, would be comfortable if Ghana is hosting the 2015 Afcon with Ebola running around? How can you control who travel in and out? Are going to ban Ebola affected area citizens not travel to Morocco. This about common sense it not about white or black. There were no world cup matches in the 1940 ask yourself why?

Even though you've made a genius case but let's just call a spade a spade not a big spoon. Health and life first be4 anything. The best idea is just postpone or given the hosting rights to Cameroon.

I think the issue is not a supporter just bringing ebola to the host country.Should there be a case in any africa during the Afcon contact tracing will be more difficult. Because during afcon more people watch in groups in bars and homes of friends. So it will be difficult to manage.

How did Guineans, Sierra Leoneans and Liberians watch their respective country's qualifiers? People were advised to watch at home and avoid video houses. During the World Cup, Adamawa State in Nigeria banned screening of live matches in video houses for fear of attacks by Boko Haram. There's always a way out unless we've allowed fear of Ebola to control us so much we can't even allow ourselves to appreciate options.

What a suicidal suggestion. Africa is sinking under the burden of poverty, corruption, ignorance, cruel traditions and primitive culture, foolish tribal wars, generalized prostitution, shameless looting, armed robbery, spreading HIV/AIDS, endemic malaria and cholera and what do you say? Let's make ourselves happy by putting fuel on the ebola. Accelerating our death makes us happier. Ee, eye asem oo.

How exactly do we get to die by watching football. Ghana played against Guinea in Tamale. Has any Ghanaian been infected with Wvola as a result? Apart from the affected countries, don't we have football being played across the continent since The Ebola crisis broke out? There's just undue panic being spread about Ebola. That's what this is. All the challenges facing Africa you listed were in Africa when the last AFCON was organised but we watched. Let's cancel all public gatherings across the continent because there's the possible of spreading Ebola. Only then will cancelling AFCON2015 will make sense to me.

If the NDC government wants to taste the baptism of FIRE, it should just say it will host event in Ghana. It is not everybody in Ghana who is a football fan. Your fun should not put my dear life at risk!

guys, please stop watching too much CNN. CNN has no news, so, they spend ever minute talking about Ebola. Morroco isn't ready to host the tournament period. Have read Kwaku's article? Africans can bearly feed themselves not to talk of saving to go watch a soccer game. And if you're so concerned about how deadly Ebola is, have all the population in the affected countries infected with the virus? Please stop buying into everything the white man says about us. And also, instead of them pin pointing the disease to the affected countries, they attribute the disease to the whole of West Africa. Let the game begin. Long live Africa, we shall always prevail.
