Footballers are paid to kick an inflated pig's bladder around a field, not to meddle in politics to get someone who will pay them buckets of the taxpayers' hard-earned money.

Since when did 'stars' share in the responsility of appointing ministers?
This nonsensical trend of chiefs and other so-called pressure groups wanting to share in executive prerogative should seize because it is a major distraction! That is not to suggest that we should not express our opinions or offer suggestions!!!!

I couldn't agree with you more. All I can add to what you have said lucidly is that the African is not ready for democracy. The Lee Kuan Yew style dictatorship will be perfect for our country because there are so many stupid elements in our society who need a strong and steady hand to put sense in their coconut heads.

Who are the Stars who want such arrogantly disrespectful guy back to the sport ministry?

Lets make evaluation to see his performances at all the ministries he's served so far to even determine if he really deserves to be a minister of state.

What is happening to Ghana and our leadership, can't people see how our lives and social condition so devalue that it's as if the country is hugely cursed?

The Blackstars are responsible to the Ghana Football Authority (GFA). The GFA should be responsible for organising all football activities (both amateur and professional levels) in the country. The sports ministry should only subsidise the GFA to enable it carry on its activities. But because these ministers know that they can steal money through these international tournaments they have taken over the work of the football authority. In many countries the football authorities are independent bodies with no interferance from any arrogant and thieving sports ministers. Why can't we do that too in Ghana to end the movement of these thieves from one ministry to the other.

Mark my words! Asamoah Gyan will sooner than later come out to deny this. This is a cooked story attributed to the captain. How can Ayariga be the best sports minister since? Gyan might have expressed his concern on the frequent reshuffling of ministers but cannot Ayariga is the best sports minister so far. Denial is on its way.

Captain Asamoah Gyan and some of the Black Stars Players should allow the President to do his work without any impediments since he has also got advisers on every ministry in the presidency.Do Asamoah Gyan and his compatriots know what the new Minister is going to do in addition to what Mr Mahama Ayariga has done so far\.Meanwhile in his maiden speech since he was sent to the sports ministry, the new Hon, minister said among other things that, he was going to continue the infrastructural developments of the ministry as embacked by the former with due humility.

Gbewaa the fact that you dislike Ayariga does notr erase his credentials. He was the SRC president at the Law school in Ghana. Very brilliant lawyer before he did his masters at Harvard University. Check his records as an Information minister. He is a gem and straight to the point something Ghanaians are not used to.

What has his brilliance, gem and all the attributes you can manufacture, contributed to the development of the country? It's people like you who have allowed these useless,non-performing degree holders to take Ghanaians for granted. What is the relevance of education if we cannot use the knowledge acquired to solve common problems. Mr. Faith, you see, my illiterate grandma in the village is practically far better than these non-performing degree weilding politicians who are contributing absolutely nothing to the development of the country apart from their stomach. If we continue worshipping mediocrity, thye country will nener develop.

Yes, this call from the Black Stars for Ayariga to be reinstated as sports minister is nonsense indeed. I don't believe all the players have that opinion but maybe few of them who may be voicing out their own agenda. They should not dabble in politics but should concentrate on their football and let those who know better take the proper decisions. They again should not repeat the disrespect they showed to President Mahama during the world cup in Brazil. Do they know better than the president?

Ayariga,Mahama took the tractors Ghanaians watched him and pardoned him.
This same Ayariga, Mahama again went ahead and munched the media fund, and Ghanaians again said, maybe he needed it in keeping with Ghanaian's magnanimity and also the Ghanaian culture of giving people second chances.
And this Ayariga, Mahama character having been given another chance again at the Sports Ministry thought Ghanaians are stupid beyond redemption, Ghanaians are fools, they don't have anything to do with their scarce financial resources and even went ahead to question the propriety of Ghanaians who gave him their monies to account for what was done with their money. This character described Ghanaians as asking him useless questions, because to his mind such useless questions can only come from useless persons who have no cause whatsoever to ask him to account for Ghanaian taxpayer funds. Ghanaians are so useless that, the Auditor General is the one who has the right and proper intellect to ask him where our monies are, because Ghanaians are not and cannot do the job of the Auditor General because they are so useless.
Ayooooo...
Tractor gone, media fund gone, Afcon money gone...
In any serious country with an incorruptible gov't, Ayariga, Mahama would have been fired so hard, he would not know what hit him.
But Ghana is obviously not a serious country under this Mahama NDC gov't, the Mahama-led NDC gov't is not an incorruptible gov't, the Mahama-led NDC is not a responsible gov't, this is a gov't where governance has assumed a merry-go round of looting and thievery, and that is why Ayariga tractor gone, Ayariga media fund gone, Ayariga Afcon funds gone, would together with his surrogates have the temerity and the impudence to utter such nauseating rubbish that he wants the Sports Ministry back. Governance has gone to the dogs in this country.
However, 2016 beckons and Ghana would put to rest such mindless irresponsibility and crassness in governance that has collapsed this country on the back of thievery and mismanagement.

The report on Ayariga To Return as Sports Minister, and published in AL HAJJ newspaper, is too WILD and WITHOUT SUBSTANCE.

WHO CONSTITUTE the STARS? No specific names were mentioned as constituting the stars demanding the return of AYARIGA.

If AYARIGA has no interest at the Sports Ministry, he would not have gone to ask the AL HAJJ NEWSPAPER to request this baseless and useless campaign.

We are not kids for Ayariga to throw dust into our eyes. If he has left the Ministry, the better for the ministry.

I don't believe this story. The Black Stars would have made their intentions clear through Captain Asamoah Gyan or the Assistant Coach. This news by the Al-Hajj newspaper doesn't seem credible since the paper is noted for spreading false info, esp. on the internet all the time. Folks should just wait until there's a confirmation from a credible source like the GFA.
