Ho goes gay on Black Stars

Ho, Jan. 28, GNA - The Ho Township on Monday evening quickly turned into one of a big festival in celebration of Black Stars 2-0 victory over their Moroccan counterparts and their qualification to the quarter finals in the ongoing MTN CAN 2008.

The streets were flooded with people clothed in the national colours, singing and dancing to various brands of 'borborbor' music. Human and vehicular traffic was heavy with cars tooting their horns either in jubilation or to find their way through the thick and slowly moving crowd.

The crowd were singing " Opeimu, "Opeimu" as they were matching to nowhere.

One Jay Attipoe, who spoke to the GNA, said the Black Stars had "a fantastic game" and expressed the hope that Ghana would win the Cup. Commenting on the performance of Asamoah Gyan, the 24-year-old Polytechnic Student said "Gyan had a nice game" and that he blended perfectly into their game plan. As usual, drinking bars and other drinking spots were full to capacity with some dancing with bottles of drinks in their hands on the streets.
