Lord Bawa Martey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Former Dreams FC goalkeeper, Lord Bawa Martey has opened up on\u00a0how\u00a0a rich man snatched his girlfriend because he could not afford to take care of her.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old\u00a0was reacting to\u00a0how players in the topflight are poorly paid.<\/p>\n

Using himself as an example, Martey who featured for Dreams FC last season\u00a0said he once lost his girlfriend to a rich man because of his low wages.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone simply snatched my girlfriend. She left me because of money. In the beginning, she was all cool because of the publicity I was getting but publicity wasn\u2019t enough to keep her,\u201d\u00a0he said as quoted by Pulse Ghana.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe complained a lot and I was always giving excuses about bad salaries so when a rich man came she left. I don\u2019t fault her.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not easy having a girlfriend in this setting. We are often accused of being womanizers but it\u2019s not true. Assuming I\u2019m playing for a team in Tamale and I\u2019m on a GH\u20b5500 a month salary and by grace, I get to date a waakye seller who gifts me waakye for free, I will have to work for it\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Martey further lamented the low wages given to players in the local league and said some earn as low as GH\u20b5300.<\/p>\n

He further noted that, the poor remuneration of players is the reason why he decided not to join another Ghanaian club after leaving Dreams FC.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though it\u2019s our profession and we believe in our talent, we don\u2019t get the needed recognition. It is not reflected in our salaries. If we were to list our worries, we would not end. I chose not to sign for any team this season due to reasons best known to me. I had a lot of offers but I rejected them due to previous experiences.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou could get injured in the line of duty and no one would mind you. We still have players who earn as little as GH\u20b5300. Assuming you are paid GH\u20b5300, how do you survive monthly?\u201d\u00a0Martey added.<\/p>\n

Ghana Premier League players leave the shores of the country every season to seek greener pastures due to how players are poorly paid.<\/p>\n
