    All the fingers are not equal. football now is more than a game, it is business. take care because the Black Stars are more valuable to most Ghanaians than ministers.

  • Kotey 7 years ago

    If they're valuable why haven't they won anythinf in close to 40 years. The most useless team in africa. With all the resources they invest in them they're still not winning. Since 1992 they've been to the finals only twice. ...

  • Asempa 7 years ago

    Are you new to Ghana football? Let me help you out if you are. The GFA members get the same bonuses as the players. Nyantakyi has the discretion to add any name to the list of bonus recipient. So you see, all the GFA members ...
