You sound more frustrated than the players themselves. Why $100,000 from a shipping company but not the government or a sports club?

Maybe the embassy thinks the players maybe use as a drug courier by McDan shipping company.

Apparently, the Spanish embassy remembers what the so-called Ghanaian sports fans (sponsored by the government) did in Brazil. Don't expect any embassy to fully trust Ghanaians.

Our first president was like that. Ye3 yiwo babi a ko babi. So consider all other countries, whether socialist, capitalist, democracy or dictator. You don't know when they will be of help. Count your options, instead of making uncall enemies. After all, you want the well being of your nation.

Our personality is at the lowest since the days of slavery. Europeans, Americans, even Asian and Indians are not usually refused visas. Africans are in a pit with no ladder to climb out. This must motivate our leaders to work hard, but instead they live in a fool's paradise thinking they are "Big", They are more interested in power and material wealth. Examples are Kings and presidents across Africa. My own Asantehene included.

The Spanish should be ashamed of their bigotry. When they Spianards came to colonized the Gold Coast did they come in with any visa? Look in the mirror, you Spaniards, and tell yourselves that you are bigots and that is why Catalan wants to break away. Shame on you for refusing to give top Ghanaian sportsmen visas for training in Spain.

Why can we use the $100,000.00 to build our own facility in Ghana if we can't get visas to send our players abroad for advance training? Can we appeal to the sponsor to allow the funding to be used to build a facility?

Ghana us learn to retaliate swiftly when discriminated against and stop this so called hospitality thing. South African High Commission in Accra has denied en mass Ghanaian travelling to SA even for official business on the basis of technical challenges for the past three weeks. I expected Ghana High Commission in Pretoria to react swiftly to deny south Africans visa to SA. After all who wants unsafe SA if not for official reasons?

Ghana is to face Spain and why should the sponsors chose to go train in Spain when in fact Spain is not even the best place?

Why not say UK, Russia, Switzerland or the US?

The Spanish Embassy might be suspicious of the private sponsorship of $100.0000 when the entire nation got no money from the Ministry of Sports to settle allowances meant for the Black Queens after winning the prestigious African Cup for the nation.

We think every country is as "fools" as we are opening our doors to even known notorious criminals from everywhere without any protective measures?

Spain is sending the signal that once we are to gain in training against them, their country is a no go area and I think that is a wise thing to do and hopefully Ghana learn a lesson from that.
