Prophet Ebenezer Adarkwa Yiadom, the founder, and leader of the Ebenezer Miracle Worship Center in Kumasi has taken a strong swipe at the Ghana Football Association president Kwesi Nyantakyi for killing Ghana Football.

In an unusual fashion, the ‘Prophet One’, as he is affectionately known in Kumasi, descended heavily on the FA for overseeing a monumental decline of the game.

The Prophet during his weekly Sunday service at the Ebenezer Miracle Worship Center expressed his disappointment over Ghana’s inability to win major trophies.

“I want to ask the Ghana FA chairman (Kwesi Nyantakyi) if he is the chairman just for the position sake or he is there to develop the game and ensure the country win laurels at international competitions”.

“Since time immemorial, Ghana has not won any major cup aside the U-20”. “The Ghana Black Stars have not won any major trophy for over 40 years now but nobody seems to care. From Abedi Pele to Tony Yeboah and Stephen Appiah have all come and gone”.

“It is pure as a result of the policies of the leadership. They must make things better at the GFA. With all the dollars, you cannot be there as president of the GFA and not do anything but just be there as the chairman just like that”, He added.

The tough talking Prophet also touched on the manner in which players are selected to the national teams.

“What is going on in our football. If there are better players elsewhere and we need to invite them, let's do that on merit and stop influencing coaches”


“If you are a football administrator and you want to coach the team, bring your CV and let us give you the job instead of influencing selection. Stop doing this is my boy, that is my boy”.

“I was there when the Local Black Stars lost to Burkina in Kumasi and I couldn’t believe it. How can Ghana look on for our game to sink.”
