  She failed to qualify. Why are u sending her there? Just to waste tax Payers money? Kwasia! Martha deserves nothing but an education and a scholarship overseas. So she can be the best she can possibly be as a person, a woman and an athlete. What will sending her to all african games active for her? She is.still young. She deserves to learn that in life. Results=SUCCESS. So if she has failed to qualify for all africa. The her punishment is to stay home and watch the games on tv and use this as motivation to prepare.for the Olympics in brasil.

  Why didn't Ghana qualify to complete with the world's best in China?
  
  Even Kenya and Jamaica, relatively poor and small countries, have the likes of Usain Bolt and others competing at the top level.

  This is what Ghana should be aiming for, not against mediocre athletes at the all-africa games.
  
  The bottom line is Ghana's leaders are letting the young ones down in every facet of life, preventing them from achieving their maximum potentials.
  
  Compare the local black star players to their foreign-based counterparts, and you'll get my drift.

Shouldn't the all african games came before the world championships anyway? African games would prepare the athletes for world championships. Oh africa. Is this how to plan?

  Yeah,yeah,yeah! Esi,I can understand your frustration but don't forget we have to put our money where our mouth is. We must first learn how to take baby steps before we can think about running,let alone compete. We can't reap where we've sown nothing. It's simple. If we can't find budding athletes and train them to qualify for the All African Games which is the launching pad to world recognition and fame why even bother? We need to set our house in order and invest in youth sports and athletics. The first step we need to take if we want to reap what serious sports loving nations reap is reappraise the situation and start all over again. The sowing season always catches us napping because we just love to pay lip service to youth sports and athletics. If we can not make this a national priority then why bother? Are we just fooling ourselves? At the moment the answer is yes.

  Hasn't Doodo contributed massively to the decline of Ghana sports, athletics as GAA president and other sports as president of GOC which is dead and buried. Doodo, go!

  Bissah was sabotaged by the powers that be within the GAA. At least in Ghana we know what is good for us. Most of those who have made it to the Alol African Games will return home empty. This time, the authority should place Martha Bissah in a race she can perform comfortably.
  
  Those who want to resign must do so very quickly.

  Resign all I care since you have nothing to offer. You keep letting Erasmus Kwaw do all you dirty work for you by writing and taking shots at the Sports Minister who also does not have a clue about track and field. It's not too late for you to resign. Your letter of resignation is very much welcome. It's long overdue. You don't have the ability to raise Ghana track and field to any level apart from creating mistrust among both new and old athletes. It is time you move on for the right and understanding people to take over to build Ghana track and field.

  The young lady failed to qualify for the games so what's the bitching about? Instead they should put heads together to find lasting solutions to the decline in national athletics. It's just an unnecessary show of power that will leave national athletics more bruised and battered. This is what square peg ministers of state in round holes do.Ghana is indeed the Land of the Jaguar Jokers.

  This so called President should not threaten to resign, he should resign period. Worldwide it is not unusual to send budding and promising athletes to tournaments just to feel the atmosphere and the experience. The great Ronaldo of Brazil went to a world cup as an observer , see what he later did for Brazil, that so called President should resign now. Mustaf I am with you all the way.
