Can azumah be offered to buy the stadium or half of it? He can get monkes from govt, corporate gh, plans to renovated the stadium and it will become his personal property. He cna rent the stadium, have a boxing ring for tournammts, bouts and championship fights. This is what needs to happen going forward. Azumah must start his own promotions company like golden boy, mayweather promotions. Scout fighters, training them and promote them. Organized regular boxing fights in ghana on gh tv. I don't understand why azumah, quartey, Nana konadu aren't doing this. They are obligated as former world champs to carry the torch and be an inspiration to young talented boxers all.over ghana. This is the only way ghana can continue to produce world champs!

As he correctly stated he has lots of respect abroad. So why could he not use that respect and connections to assist the nation? We should not always depend on government to fix problems. In the USA, the highway system was started by private individuals and later the federal g'ment took over. Why do we always have to cry to "Aban"?

I think your story about the beginning of the US Highway system is a little misleading. Please, for sake of truth, just name some of the individuals who started the federal highway system in the United States before the feds took over. And to be fair and reasonable, the repair and maintensnce of the sports facility named after his name do not lie on the shoulders of Azumah Nelson. When the facility was built someone was assigned responsibility for its maontenance and repair and some resources were budgeted for this purpose. It makes no damn sense to ask Azumah Nelson to shoulder this responsibility when we don't know what happened to the repair budget and the man put in charge of maintenance and repair. Lets not encourage the monkey dey work baboon dey chop business. It's unfair, unjust and makes no sense.

mensah abrampa....very good writer but you lack common sense. Deep thinking is a key here. No one is asking Almighty Professor to use his hard-earn money to renovate (If he chooses to do that it will be patriotic and laudable). He can use his immense popularity as claimed by him to raise funds for renovation purpose. It’s a civic duty and all over the world, philanthropists assist the needy. I believe, Professor is blessed by God and the Almighty God used somebody to assist him in his transformation to World Champion. Maybe Azumah did everything in his own power to be who he is, after all he double up as a magician.

He should use his position, charity organization as a famous person to seek monies, organized a fundraiser, black tie event to raise money to rehabilitation the stadium.

He can even buy half the stake in the stadium and give them govt half of all stadium proceeds.

is better than cure? that is a major problem in Ghana in every single thing we do,
we wait till it's too late before we decide to do something about it. what
about setting aside money for regular maintenance instead of this big money
to renovate which always ends up multiplying ten folds because
some corrupt official is dipping into the cookies jar. look at the state of

Who's talking rubbish, you or Azumah? Why is it that most Ghanaians are downright stupid and idiotic? Kaneshie Sports Complex was new and shiny when it was named after Azumah. The question a sensible question should ask is: why have the sports authorities allowed the complex to deteriorate without the necessary ongoing maintenance, and what is the guarantee that if Azumah uses his connections to rehabilitate the complex it will not go into the same disrepair in years later? Or do you expect Azumah to take full responsibility of the maintenance of the complex? How idiotic can you be, Mr. Brainy?

what do you want? all the money you had from your ceria is your personal money nothing goes to government.
They have a baby, organize very expensive outdooring and after that, the child is on his own. That's a typical Ga man's behaviour.
Because of paying your child's school fees you want to disown him? Why not donate some ...

That "Homeless People's Complex" befits the name of an inept person like our President. Name it after him to remind Ghanaians to never again vote his kind into the high office of President.

to fix the place up, if Azumah wants to use
his own foundation to help the up keep of the place then so be it but

Azumah's anger will pay way for NDC to chop more than 1 million Ghana cedi on the refurbishment. It will probably be way more than one mil the sports minister is saying and there will be no accountability. I do agree with Azu ...

We always are quick to say ask for help from outside..."use his connections outside" why cant we do it ourselves?
Illiteracy is a disease as we say. You are lucky to be honoured in your lifetime.Put your rich eperience and beautify the [ace to suit the image you want.
Why the insults ? We Ghanaians don't like the truth , we can't stand the truth .

Kaneshie is a National asset to be maintained by National Sports Authority and MOYS. They are the only people with authorization to do that. Please leave Azumah alone. He has a right to express himself.
All those of you blaming Azumah seem not to realise that it is not his job or responsibility to maintain the place.
It sure is that of the ministry of sports. That ministry has failed to do its job. Period.
Stop blaming ...

Instead of seeing this as an opportunity, he is crying wolf. Please use this respect that you command to mobilize funds to refurbish the complex, and this should start with you.
