– –<\/span> Ghanaian singer and gospel minister Sonnie Badu, who resides in the US, has urged the Ghana Football Association to handle its players with respect and to refrain from playing to empty seats once they have passed away. <\/p>\n He made this remark in the wake of Christian Atsu\u2019s passing, recalling with sorrow how the player, who he noticed was once dubbed Ghana\u2019s Lionel Messi despite his prior successes with the team, was fired from the Black Stars. <\/p>\n He claimed that Atsu\u2019s dismissal from the Black Stars unintentionally affected his mental state, and in an effort to establish himself, he joined lower-level European teams. <\/p>\n – –<\/span><\/p>\n Additionally, he used Jerry Akaminko as an example of how the FA quickly \u201cuse and dump\u201d players.<\/p>\n The renowned gospel musician who is noted for his monster hit, \u2018Baba\u2019 said the FA should not\u00a0wait for the players to die before \u2018doing show.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n Here\u2019s what he posted;<\/p>\n Dear GFA @chris_atsu has been finally laid to rest. However, let me say this .. Let this be a reform of mindset and a change of attitude\u2026. I know our @ghana_fa_official chairman will do things differently<\/p>\n I heard in recent interviews people saying that he was the Messi of Ghana\u2026 Well you guys retired him quick \u2013 whiles Messi is still playing the World Cup\u2026 Messi is 35 and Astu was 31 \u2026<\/p>\n Let us learn how to make players feel important while they are alive. We should not wait for something to happen to them before we take over their funeral expenses and all of that.<\/p>\n – –<\/span> We know that, most of the players get injured during international duties And it is to no suprise, that they end up losing their position, in their club teams and also national teams\u2026. That\u2019s why players like @thomaspartey5 would rather put their @jakaminko was at his peak when he got injured playing for Ghana and everyone suddenly forgot about him\u2026 He ended up playing for a low division Turkish team \u2013 that he had fighting for his Monies owed ..<\/p>\n Those low division teams in Turkey are called playing to survive and keep fit .. the clubs knows it and so they fraustrate players<\/p>\n I heard the tribute read from the club , he told the coach he either plays or goes to see his family.. if one could only turn back time .. it shows how commited he was to his career \u2026champ you died a hero and you scored you last goal \u2026 it cannot be forgotten by the club\u2026\u2026 rest well .. your send off was beautiful<\/p>\n
