DELAY, SIMPLY CONDUCT INTERVIEWS IN AKAN OR TWI OR WHAT U DEEM COMFORTABLE. YOU CAN ALWAYS REBORADCAST THE SHOW WITH ENGLISH VOICE OVERS IF YOU WANT. THIS IS WHAT OTHER FOREIGN SPEAKING INTERVIEWERS DO...DO WHAT IS COMFORTABLE FOR YOU. INFACT, I DONT EVEN UNDERSTAND WHY JOURNALISTS AND SPORTS PERSONALITIES ON TV WANT TO SPEAK ENGLISH ALL THE TIME. ITS SO STUPID. I WOULD RATHER PREFER LISTENING TO SOMEONE WHO SPEAKS A NATIVE LANGUAGE FLUETLY THAN SOMEONE WHO SPEAKS ENLGISH AND KEEPS BUTCHERING IT. I WATCHED BSTARS POST INTERVIWS AON GTVSPORTS AND WAS SHAKING MY HEAD. WHY MUST U INTERVIEW PLAYERS OR EVEN CONDUCT INTERVIEWS IN ENGLISH? SPEAK AKAN OR WHATEVER. SPEAK THE LANGUAGE THAT MOST PPL UNDERSTAND N NOT TIS SILLY ENGLISH. WHEN U INTERVIEW GRANT OR THE MOZAMBIQUE PLAYER/COACH U CAN SPEAK ENGLISH...DELAY, FUCKING EMAIL ME...TUXMAN06@YAHOO.CA.

That's my problem. 59 years ago when Ghanaian's got their freedom from their slave masters. I don't know what we have achieved from their language. Those who was able to learn good English are the one's stealing from the country. Germany, China, France, North and South Koreans, Russia, Japan Has all developed with their own language and they all have accent of speaking English. I'm proud of my own.

Yes, I understand Delay's point and the rest of the commenters as well. HOWEVER, some of the countries some of you are mentioning that do not primarily speak english,is because they only have ONE native language that everyone can understand unlike Ghana. Not everyone can speak twi, ewe, ga etc. and so English is used as a bridge to connect all of those language barriers so that everyone can understand one another. I know many may not like that but it's the truth. Should we get rid of our culture of course not, but I don't think it hurts to be able to speak English neither, especially if one intends to travel to other countries. Just my 2 cents.

You can call me a bastard if i fail to speak in my mother tongue fluently. What is English language? It is simply the language of the British. How many British speak any Ghanaian language? Delay should be honored for being fluent in the local language rather than being lambasted by these half baked school leavers who only have to buy a lecturers pamphlet in order to pass an exam from our institutions.

I was born in Ghana but I don't speak TWI, English is a universal Language. The only language from Ghana I know is Ga, nobody can force me to speak TWI. If you want to travel anywhere outside of Ghana, the universal language to use is English. It's as simple as that.

So you saying Delay can't interview an Englishman? No! She is being smart. Using Ghana's popular language is why she is business. Twi puts food on her table and pays her bills. Case close!
