Alaaaah well, Nii Lante you putting th black stars back to them 90's when they could hardly even beat Cape Verde etc. See, remember your were just a sports host and a writer. Don't forget your current position is coming to an end by December 2016 so you go ahead and do your worse. Hope the president is also silent and monitoring.

Our boys could not beat Rwanda and so I have asked Nii Lante to send the winning bonus to our church. My pastor, pastorbOgoglo Quarter will use it to repair our church.

Why should they get a bonus at all? This is ridiculous. They get paid a lot, they have expenses covered, they don't pay taxes, they get treated like gods when they're just football plaers. They hold the country to ransom, they think they're bigger than the government and the country and they have not actually won anything significant for a long time! And the minister gets torn to shreds for standing up to the GFA for taking the piss all these years?? I just don't get it. If you show fear they feed on that. That's how they got the $3m in Brazil. and they'll do it again if they think they can get away with it. They're like gangsters holding the nation hostage and asking for a ransome. You just have to be firm and say no more. The Minstry of sport and youth has responsibilities to all sports and all genders not just football and footbal bloke fans.

If they haven't won any trophy in recent years, only you, the moron, should stop expecting them to win, and back that your low expectation up with a $2,500 bonus. Imbecile!

THESE ARE THE THINGS GRANT WAS TALKING ABOUT WHEN HE SAID IF WE COULD SKIP THE BULLSHIT AND CONCENTRATE ON FOOTBALL.
INSTEAD OF THE GFA/FA CONCENTRATING ON AND ORGANIZING A VIABLE LEAGUE AT HOME, A POOL FROM WHICH WE CAN GET IMPROVING PLAYERS, THEIR WHOLE MIND IS ONLY ON BONUS. THAT IS WHERE THEY REAP WITHOUT SOWING. AND THEY USE THE FOREIGN BASED PLAYERS AS A BARGAINING CHIP. NII LANTEY'S METHODS MAY NOT BE CONVECTIONAL, MIGHT NOT EVEN BE POPULAR BUT, EFFECTIVE!

What's wrong with black man, we prefer to spend tax payers money on entertainment whilst we see our people dying in the Mediterranean Sea. This Nii is the best we have ever had.

Why is it that the Black Star players have to spill their blood for public officials to embezzle the money. The minister is simply trying to maximize the money he is planning to travel overseas with her young girl friends. It is not only wrong but shameful.

He is simply saying that I don't care whether you win or lose. It is sad to think that a whole minister behaves irresponsibly like that.

After mismanaging the country the incompetent NDC government of John Mahama with his know nothing minister like Nii Lante Vanderpuije now want to wreck the only area in Ghana's public life where we are showing some competence, that is in the administration and performance of our international footballing program.

Nii Lante, just admit that firstly the NDC government is broke and cannot meet its obligations to the Black Stars, then secondly admit that this is another attempt by you and your kobolor NDC mates to seize control of GFA so that you can have your nose in the profitable cash trough that Kwesi Nyantekyi has created since he took over GFA in 2001. As usual, the NDC politics of envy will stop at nothing, even it it means running what is one of the nations few successful endeavors.
