Ghanaian like most Africans believe think that as long as one had been able to accomplish something he had to stay and die in office Robert Gabriel Mugabe of Zimbabwean comes to mind the fact that he led that country into independence. Yes Kwasi Nyantakyi has led us to 3 world cup non of the past GFA president had done so I agreed but the fact is Africa had 1 slot to World Cup with the 5 slots now and more would be added Ghana would be going to every world cup. It about time Kwasi Nyantakyi you have to go you have a match fixing on your head and currently you have lost everything that makes you a leader go or we would force you out and charge you causing a financial loss to the state.

This is exactly what we discussed in Brazil during the tournament. Under Fred Pappoe, we never have such problems. We had little issues but never escalated to such extent. Fred Pappoe displayed dynamic leadership whereby everything was normal again even during our first appearance in 2006. Nyantakyi wants that post and for the first time he was supposed to be in charge, we failed miserably. This is all about per diem. He should resign and since he does not have any integrity, he will fight to keep the position he cannot handle.

In fact, I voted for President Mahama in the 2012 general elections, but it appears the president does not want to hurt even a fly, and this is not helping his administration. Just look at the mess going on in the country, but it seems no one cares. As a patriotic Ghanaian I have still not overcome the pain caused by the black star's failure to qualify from the group stage of the ongoing 2014 world cup in Brasil, because we had a strong team. I am afraid NDC might not win the 2016 elections if conditions in the country do not change. I humbly suggest that the current black star management committee be dissolve, and the coach Appiah also resign, just like Stephen keshi, the coach of the green of eagles of Nigeria. God bless Ghana my mother land.

Nyantakyi's management skills is poor. Why should players not have their bank accounts on file and get their fees due to them transferred in due time to avoid havoc and distrust. I believe that the players do not trust your management, hence they insisted to get paid by cash. "Show me the money" is that called.
Nyantakyi and Coach Appiah must resign as soon as possible to save the Black Stars further humiliation to the nation.

And if they think I am on top of it..they can always fire me..perhaps I will write a open resume..because the controller o GFA should have questioned..is your wife and kids part of the team? if so what are their functions etc..and not pay a dime for their ticket..and as organisation their finances should be open..so what is his salary...source of income etc...

So whoever is in CHARGE should be cautious like snake, because it is the PEOPLES HEARTS whoever in charge is dealing with. We were early eliminated form the 2014 W/C group stages due to the 'Corruption & Stupidity'. Can we sit back and pretend nothing is happening or going on, No! If Nyantakyi and Akwasi Appiah fails to resign themselves, then it would be better for the President of Ghana to DISSOLVED GFA AND SET COMMITTEE TO RESTRUCTURE THE WHOLE GHANA SOCCER SYSTEM FRESH and get BANNED from FIFA instead to let things goes on like usual.

He is not self-confidence man he got rid of Fred Pappoe because Pappoe was getting all the credit for the two successful world cup run he was afraid Pappoe would take the presidency from him. It about time he goes but a typical Ghanaian would tell you that he had take us to 3 world cups back to back so he must die in office. Pause for sec and think all the friendly Ghana had played under Kwasi Nyantakyi South Korea and Japan top the list is match fixing going on? Kwasi Nyantakyi is a match fixer whether he likes it or not we all have seen the tape.

The Schalke midfielder has slammed the country's FA for the chaotic organisation of their campaign in Brazil and admits he will find it hard to return to international duty again
Ghana midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng has hit out at the organiation of the Black Stars' World Cup campaign, claiming the entire process was "a catastrophe".
While Ghana enjoyed some memorable moments during the competition, including a 2-2 draw against Germany and a record-breaking goal from Asamoah Gyan, the Black Stars' time in Brazil was shrouded in controversy.
Players threatened to boycott the remainder of the competition over a dispute concerning bonus payments, while Boateng and Sulley Munari were both sent home over a breach of discipline.
The former AC Milan man has now spoken frankly of his experience throughout the World Cup process and claims the level of treatment the squad received from the Ghanaian footballing officials was 'insulting' at times.
"I am very, very disappointed," said Boateng, speaking to SportBild. "It simply was no good time. It was a nightmare from the first day of preparation until the end.
"I never thought that you could organise a World Cup preparation and a World Cup that badly: hotels, flights - everything in an amateurish way.
"Our flight from Miami to Brazil took 12 hours. We were in Economy Class, packed. The legs hurt. For a pro, that's an insult. Meanwhile, our president sat in Business Class with his wife and his two kids. In Brazil the people responsible managed to lose my luggage. I did not have my football boots for days, no tapes, nothing. It was a disaster.
"Prior to the match against the US we slept in a sleazy hotel. This one can never have been recommended by Fifa. The rooms were wet. I had to change my room because it was like a swimming pool. There was water dripping from the ceiling."
Ahead of the Black Stars’ final group game against Portugal, the squad threatened to boycott the match in protest at unpaid bonuses before Boateng was later sent home, and the Schalke man believes he was made a scapegoat for his honesty with Ghana's footballing officials.
"There were two or three players who were happy that me and Sulley Muntari were suspended," said Boateng. "I made my point. There wasn't a single player who was happy. I have the feeling that we met a hundred times with our whole delegation. We told them that there are many things that have to change.
"I am an easy victim for them because I told them face-to-face that they are liars who do not keep their promises.
"The president promised that we would travel better, get better accommodation in the future. A better organisation and preparation. He didn't keep his promise. At the end, I was simply dissatisfied.
"[The bonuses were] part of it, pretty normal. That was one of the smallest problems. It all just came together during one month. It was a catastrophe.
"I just ask myself where all the money is going. The FA gets lots of money from sponsors, from Fifa. They certainly do not spend it for hotels, flights, the team and its preparation."
Boateng did not close the door on a future international career with the Black Stars, but did acknowledge that it would be difficult to return to the fold.
"They kicked me out. I love the country and the people but it is hard for any sportsman to continue under these circumstances."

This Nyantekyi man would rather go to the Supreme Court rather than resign. Arrogant like Akufo Addo!!!
This is exactly what we discussed in Brazil during the tournament. Under Fred Pappoe, we never have such problems. We had little issues but never escalated to such extent. Fred Pappoe displayed dynamic leadership whereby eve ...

In fact, I voted for President Mahama in the 2012 general elections, but it appears the president does not want to hurt even a fly, and this is not helping his administration. Just look at the mess going on in the country, b ...

IF YOU THINK VOTING FOR NPP WOULD STOP THIS TYPE OF CORRUPTION YOU ARE FOOLING YOURSELF.
THEY ARE ALL THE SAME. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT.
he's a disgraced money- greedy pig,whose primary aim is to see a whole nation suffer in pain, Nyantakyi "what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul ?" am very sorry for you,because God has p ...

Good written piece.
I hope Nyantakyi demonstrates love for the country and resign. There's a lot of corruption within the GFA and distrust between management and the players. How could Kwarassey be changed just because he d ...

Good piece.
You think Nyantakyi will listen to you? Any normal and dignified chairman would resign honourably but not Kwesi. His cup is beyond full, and is running several times over. Like the drunk person, he will be the last person ...

Good article Christopher,
However, I have the feeling that they feel intouchable. They have accumulated a place they believe is theirs and this man does not have dignity!
Zero point zero..because if he had one..he would ...

Massa Opoku, if his tenure saw the short comings you have catalogued, then why are you being so soft in demanding the inevitable? Do you not want excellence for our country? Given what you now know, is he the one to deliver e ...

God help mother Ghana, the minister for sports or even the head of state should sack all at GFA , this is a national disgrace but because they are all corrupt , they have kept quite on this issue.
Why do people like you Chris who know next to nothing about football admin like to open you mouth anyhow. God save Ghana from hooliganism at its highest.
True
That bastard has broken the hearts of many Ghanaians. He has to resign now or we take to the streets in mass protest. A thief is always a thief. KWASIAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
This fucking man called Nyantakyi should be fired and must be kept in jail for life,I said it but people didn't bother,black man coaching Ghana black stars won't be good idea,from the day black stars started playing world cup ...

Her 5head will do a GREAT job!
You cannot even manage a chopbar with your level of education.
Have you no shame! You and aa must step down. You have disgraced the nation. Have some respect for.yourselves and resign. We don't want you 2 anymore!
Our university graduates are simply useless. So Nyantekyi, who is a lawyer, could not advice the Moronic President of Ghana of the Legal and Ethical implication of carrying that quantum amount of money to Brazil. This is how ...

great letter, hope he pays heed to the contents
Well done Christopher Opoku. I trust that Mr. Nyantakyi or his assistance will read this piece and bravely act on it. Free constructive advice. Thank you again, Christopher.
Chris, that was a good one there. Nyantakyi epitomizes a total disgrace to Ghanaians!He should resign honourably to save face.He is simply put, A COMMON CRIMINAL.
A letter well written but unfortunately lacks the poignancy in letting Mr. Nyantakyi know that he has to go back to school and educate himself because obviously he lack wisdom to rally his executives behind him. instead of le ...

I thought Nyantakyie is the nest GFA boss we have now, why are you are now attacking him. POW will beat you oo.
Go back and check all past posting about Kwasi Nyantakyi the day he opened his mouth and said he not accountable to anyone when people were calling for account of the 2006 world cup.
I therefore need your unflinching support to enable me take over from that ugly and gangrenous boy called nyantakyie.
heads must roll
how can you have two positions at the same the time? greed.
Chris, you've hit the nail right in the head.
But you forgot about the "NYANTAKYI-GATE" match-fixing scandal.
Mahama has not said anything about it yet and Nyantakyi might think it's been brushed under the carpet.

Smoke this guy.youth chase him out of Ghana,burn down all those houses he has acquire with Ghana monies.
Christopher nice letter but its saden my heart Nyantakyi and co.will never read
Kwasi Nyantakyi and Appiah have shown what they could do together, to disgrace Ghana in the name of selfishness. It is time to step aside and apologise to the nation.
God punish the gfa
GREEDINESS,SHAMELESS LEADERS OF GFA-------NONESENSE
I like your information registered on this web,and thanks for your time,effort,research and the rich,exhaustive information given.
If KWESI NYANTAKYI will not resign peacefully but shamefully,LET'S PUSH HIM OUT.
PERIOD.
Sociopaths never resign.
Bravo brother
Your piece of forthright and on point. If he refuses to step down, a campaign must be waged to bring him down. Less said the better.
leave him alone,even if Ghana win the World Cup, Ghanaians will always find reason to call him corrupt.
For me, handling an enviable position such as this as well as having your personal club constitute a conflict of interest. He is a gentle thief and must resign because he is not the only qualified person to handle that positi ...

Shoot him dead. If it were Colombia; there would be little pushing and shoving- Just liquidate him. period. Gun him down- I will pay for it.
From the moment this twerp defended the size of the Ghanaian entourage to Brazil vis a vis the 100 or so from an oil rich country I realised he was a village idiot!
Remember, you ask eastern region division two league to take their case to God? Well. nuff said. Our prayers has been answered. Corruption
For all you'd say about Fred Pappoe, had he been there, none of those players would have dared fooled in camp
What a big shame and shady for GFA lack of transparent we are sick and tired of Kwasi and his so call welfare committee his administration must be probe and account for everything to national audit.
kwasi must be sacked since he has no vision for GFA.
Chris, you could not have written about these myriad of issues plaguing the GFA and Sports Ministry any better. There is massive corruption going on at the GFA. There has to an overhaul of the FA. Ghanaians are not stupid but ...
