Considering our priorities isn't that too much?
The price money for this tournament is $1.5 million and if we are paying each player $90K = $2,070,000.00 Kwesi Nyantakyi and his GFA get $90K too. Ghana is dead country and this foolishness has to stop.
Look at this fools again. Confuse the BS again? where from this stupid idea would somebody shut the fuk up so we can concentrate
U guys again?
Keep dishing money out like confetti!!!
Mr Multiplex?
Another chance to kiss the almighty dollar!
Believe me, he really will
Give them "undred" john boyes
If I were in the BS squad, I'll fight like a lion in Zion to bring home this long-awaited trophy & show the whole world that we are simply the best (in Africa, for the moment). The eventuality of such a happy outcome will en ...

We all want Black Stars to win, but when we hear of the money they make it puts things into perspective and we realise that there are more important things than football.
The reality is "cut your coat according to your cloth". The prize money is $1.5 Million and we are ready to pay $2.7 million.
I took my time and watched all the matches played so far, and I find the standard very low. You cannot single out an outstanding player. Unlike the days of Roger Miller, Theophile Abega, Abdul Razak, Rabah Majer, Lakder Be ...

if you trying to use it to rip off Ghana, then it will be difficult to get....Nyantekyi has a private ATM machine for this?
HEADLINE: "Black Stars to receive $90,000 each for winning trophy".
STORY: "Each player in the team will earn $25,000 should Ghana win the final game and take the trophy".
FOOLS, WHY DO YOU MAKE IT SOUND AS IF THEY ARE ...

The coach must train the Stars very hard on corner kicks,free kicks,crossings and penalties.The Stars wasted 14 good corner kicks and countless free kicks against South Africa.This is not how to play tournament if you want to ...

I also think this is too much considering our limited resources and other pressing needs such as education and sanitation
Good observation.
The Americans and Germans defeated the Black Stars with few corner kicks in the 2014 Brazil World Cup.Stars must pay attention to corner kicks,either in their favour or for the opponent.All the best.
This big money for the players at each level of the game will not encourage them to win the tournament, because they still make a lot of money without winning. How many Ghanaians are making 30,000 dollars per year?
the players are not corrupt like mahama and co.they sweat their ass to make a living.if u think it,s more pls,help retrieve all the nation,s stolen money.eg,gyeeda,sada,wayome,nhs,korle bu 419.pls be ralistic and don,t ve hat ...

It's because only one player was taken all the corner kicks and free kicks. We need to blend them out. If other players had also tried, we would have had different results.
Is not too much is nature of football. Black deserve it if only they put smiles to citizens of our country Ghana.
How long would it take you to smile if Ghana wins the AFCON? People of this country needs basic things first. Germany won the world cup....how much money did the players receive? It's not about money, never get this wrong. Th ...

KWASIA, YOU INLY WANTED TO SMILE?
LOOK AT OUR ROAD CONDITIONS IN GHANA.
EVEN THE PRICE MONEY FOR THE GAME IS UUSD 1,500,000 AND YOU ARE SPENDING OVER USD 4,000,000 JUST TO TAKE A CUP?
Ridiculous, complete nonsense.
ls too much, may be nyantakyi has his share so he doesnt care about the living condition of the people of ghana
LOTS CASH,,,THIS IS WHY WE THE POOR HATE THE FA AND THE PLAYERS AS WELL,,,,,,JOHN BOYE WILL BE SCORING MORE GOALS,,I CAN SEE THAT COMING,,,,
Too small ! GFA, please, add more. The stars deserve $120,000 each.
You are making too much noise these days, and I have to punish you for that. You can cool me down, by buying I cow, two sheep and ten bottles of ogoglo to give them to OGOGLO QUARTER.
Okay Rasheed, I will obey you "Sir ! At least, if post you $1000 case die.
Wait till I get my winning bonus after AFCON 2015
Ghanaian workers are underpaid, yet you have that much money to pay each player. Hmmmm
this is nonsense..all these monies can be channelled into the energy sector...total debrish
Money is coming from the ghanaian government but as part of the winning prize if we lift the trophy.
In fact the citizens make profit if we win the grand prize instead .
Try channeling the money into the energy sector and see if the boss there will not pocket most of it. That is the dilemma; everybody is a thief (not corrupt).
Think about the people of Ghana and about the electricity and water problem too, by the way where is this money coming from ?is it from the tax payers , CAF or the government?
eiih Ghana, we do things like we don't think. Its really terrible how we run our economy. Almost 60% of our population are under the poverty line and can't afford three square meals a day, hmmmmmmmmmm, its really sad
Boss,the Pres. for encouraging the kind of 'foolishness' we are witnessing! After all,these guys did not put a gun to anybody`s head to extract this outrageous sum of money. They were invited to join the team,and did not impo ...

Your Kuffour started this nonsence in 2006
We don't need this information now to distract & divide the supporters & the players. How to win is more vital. Our reporters should learn to report to unite and not to divide & take people's attention away.
i think its too much for them bcos ordinary Ghanaians are suffering in this current economic crises where there ‘domsor domsor', our roads are bad and there is no quality education.
-NOT BAD FOR THE PLAYERS.THEY DESERVE FOR WHAT MAKES US PROUD AS A NATION WHEN THEY WIN THE CUP.THEY WILL WIN THE CUP 2015.GOOD LUCK AND ALWAYS PRAYING FOR YOU ALL.
Why do we always talking of winning money and divert attention for the support for the team? Our mentality if in fact awful.
why argue over this money when you are a stomach direction type of player.the national income of the country are being distributed among a few thieves in high rangs.for the stars to sweat right from their ,asses,i think they ...

They deserve it more than any politician. They bring glory to the nation. Ghana's name is known in the world b'cos of soccer-the Black Stars.
Stop using money as the only tool for motivating players to perform. Have you ever heard that a European country o US has motivated their sportsmen by promising them money. It is shame to continue this way
They are the only citizens who kill themselves for mother Ghana and bring glory to the nation. Politicians stealing from the nation and the bribery and corruption from the population. God bless you Black Stars
STOP REPORTING HOW MUCH THREY WOULD BE PAID.
STOP IT NOW. THIS BRINGS STUPID AFRICAN ENVY AND ACRIMONY.
$90K is Nothing in terms of the marketing for the Country.
Millions would come to Ghana for the boys efforts.

THIS JOHN MAHAMA IS INDEED VERY STUPID AND CLUELESS. IF YOU CAN SHARE SUCH MONIES TO THE FOOTBALLERS WHY CAN'T YOU BUY OIL TO POWER THE THERMAL PLANTS TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY FOR THE COUNTRY?
WITH THIS IF I WIN OR LOSE I WILL GET MY MONEY MENTALITY, THIS BLACK STARS CANT DO SHIT, JUST WATCH,THEY DONT HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO WIN A TROPHY.
They're going out either in this game or the next, so we don't have to worry about them winning anything or getting any bonus biaa. On the other hand if they DO win then they deserve the money so no problem there either.
They work and desev it

the world cup,each Germany player received $408,000 from their federation.the federation received $35m fifa.That's $5 million more than Spain received for winning it in South Africa
Even if this money is not giving to them, a greedy and selfish politician will pocket all by himself. Give it to them; they are also Ghanaians and deserve part of the oil revenue.
Oh! Ghana, it is getting too much, aahh ba! wala hwe!. All dis money aa coming to sponsor de work of de devil. Ghana we to repent.

What the hell, the prize money is 1.5 mill and you spend over 2 million who runs such a business? Nyantakyi must be shot or hanged for causing financial loss to the state. this is blatant stealing we need JJ back now.
FOR WINNING THE CUP.THEY RECEIVED $35M FROM FIFA ,AND EACH PLAYER WENT HOME WITH $408.000 FROM THE GERMAN FOOTBALL FEDERATION.THAT MEANS THE FEDERATION ADDED MONEY TO THE 35M.
BLACK COUCHES BRIBE,,WHITE COUCHES NO BRIBE..BLACK MANS MENTALITY.OLDEN DAYS COUCHES DO DEAL IN BRIBES THAT WHY WE WON THE AFRICAN CUP.
What will this stupid cup do for the country for us to be wasting this colossal amount on this players, while we wallow in dumsor. Brainless leaders in indeed
Ghana players can donate some of the money to ECG so that they will reduce the light offs and orphans.Not all money keep in account while some are suffering and don't have even food to eat.
Please we need good hospitals roads anD living life's in ghana. This players are wealthy already why can't we keep the money to generate electricity power to ghanaaians so that all of Ghanaians will enjoy the better ghana. Bc ...

We are hungry for the trouphy let give it to them
Do you know how much dollars a professional gallant ghanaian soldier ends at peace keeping operations after six months?
I think the players should consider the lighting system n water problems we are facing in the country,and try to minimize the amount they ask for.Greek players play for free in Brazil world cup.
THEY THE COMMITTE SHOULD A
LSO THINK OF SUPPORTING THE U-20.AND STOP ALWAYS BLACK STARS.
????
a very good reward for the winners by the authorities because if the Black Stars will win the AFCON 2015 then they will receive a total of 90,000$
Ah this government koraa why? No problem 2016 just on the corner. We will drop that hunting yam. ( ahabayer3)
