The beauty of football: is a game that brings joy and it is the only antidote to eliminate boredom among the masses. Despite the huge investment made into the sport, it also fetches some profits for team managers and the country as a whole. To lose, win and draw is the nature of the game and these results will determine the mood of supporters after stoppage time.
Ghana, as the country is faced with numerous challenges and many have suggested we cut down on expenditures to be able to meet the needs of the country. In various sectors, the equipment to even work is not available hence affecting productivity. Why then do we have to channel a lot of resources into a fruitless venture?
The sentiment is shared by most Ghanaians who have indicated that the amount of money set up for the African cup of nations is too huge. in addition, the country’s senior national team hasn’t been able to produce a major trophy for the past 40 years.
Fast forward, Ghana’s black stars are playing today against Comoros, and unconfirmed reports according to sports journalists of Onua TV, have it that each player will receive $30,000 if we qualify for the next stage. Captain Smart who shared his sentiment on the topic alleged that the players are even paid losing bonuses.
He posited that a country that borrows to pay its workers their salaries has this huge money to be given to players, then we will not pay the E-levy. The 30,000 dollars qualification bonus should be brought home to help the economy and this team cannot get to the top.
The gentleman asserted, “I am praying Ghana loses today against Comoros. If we don’t lose, we may qualify for the next stage. If we qualify for the next stage you and give each player $30,000. Can you imagine such wastage?”
“Ghana needs every pesewa in our coffers, we are broke. We can’t afford any excessive spending. For us to win for each play to make 30k dollars while there are so many pressing issues confronting this nation, then we are losing,” he concluded.
