I Won"t Tolerate That - GFA Veep Warn

Ghana Football Association (GFA) veep, George Afriyie, has mentioned that his absence will be sorely missed when he quits his position.

Media reports lately, has suggested that a distant and tense relationship exists between Kwesi Nyantakyi (GFA president) and his veep.

Though the former has denied (rift), the latter, is his latest post, appears to have affirmed a suspicion that his relevance has been undermined.

“When I leave the FA, they would know that they had someone like George Afriyie,” he said in a radio interview on Joy FM.

“Some of us were not poor when we got into football. Some of us were well to do before we became football people.

“I won’t sit there (FA) for people I have worked with, for people we’ve come this far to question my honesty and integrity at the association.”

Afriyie Disagrees With Nii Lantey

The Management Committee Chairman of the senior national team, Black Stars, George Afriyie has disagreed with Sports Minister’s question on why national football teams are paid with winning bonuses.

Hon. Nii Lantey Vanderpuye, Sports Minister, seem to have qualms with the payment of bonus to national football teams while other disciplines are ignored.

In his speech during the 41st Sports Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG) awrads night, the Member of Parliament for Odododiodio Constituency quizzed:

“Can someone here tell me why we should pay winning bonuses to the football teams but not pay for other disciplines, are some Ghanaians better than others?”

And the Vice President of the Ghana FA, George Afriyie disagrees with him.

“l totally disagree with the sports minister on that statement, not even a second. We have over 48 division one clubs in Ghana, is it the same as boxing, 16 premier league clubs, is it the same as basketball?” the owner of Division One side, Okyeman Planners quizzed in reaction to Nii Lantey’s comments.

“Football is not competing with other sports disciplines. l don’t dispute that fact. We have talents in the other disciplines but football is developed by the individuals with their own money not the government,” Afriyie added.

“A clear example is Medeama who are projecting the image of Ghana in the CAF Confederation Cup. They are sponsored by an individual.” he said.

Ghanaian Media Afraid Of Grant - GFA Veep

Vice President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), George Afriyie claims the Ghanaian media is afraid of Black Stars Coach, Avram Grant.

“The media cannot even ask him why he was out of the country for three months and what he was doing while he was away,” George Afriyie told Accra based Onua FM.

“But they will come and ask me those questions. Are they afraid of him?

“Media personnel at the recent Ghana Black Stars post-match interview in Accra, could not ask him what he has been doing to advance football in the country.

“They can’t ask him any question, but rather, they keep on asking me the Vice President of the GFA about the squad Avram Grant had invited to camp, meanwhile the coach was there,” be fumed.

Video: Watch Hearts Fans Hooliganism In Wa Defeat

Accra Hearts of Oak lost their first game of the season in a 1-3 home loss to Wa All Stars last Sunday.

The game was between first and second placed teams and with just one point seprating them it was the second placed team that triumphed and went on top of the league table.

A stellar performance from Wa All Stars was marred by Hearts fans hooliganism reaction to the first goal scored by Kweku Asuandzie. The fans deemed his free header at goal after he intelligently beat the offside trap should not have stood.

And registering their displeasure towards referee Ernset Baafi who after his appointment as referee for the game had been billed as a ‘Kwesi Nyantankyi puppet’ – Ghana Football Association President had a torrid day at the office.

The insubordinate act from the Hearts fans by throwing bottles and sachet bagged water onto the pitch was an eyesore and this is a video footage of the incident.

"Be Worried Gov"t Rejected Your Recommendations" - Afriyie To Foh Amoaning

The vice president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) George Afriyie has told Moses Foh-Amoaning to be worried the government rejected some of their recommendations to avoid after the Dzamefe Commission investigated the 2014 World Cup fiasco.

Mr. Foh-Amoaning, member of three-man committee set up by President John Dramani Mahama to investigate what led to Ghana’s abysmal display during the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, has not lost the opportunity to remind government that the recommendations ought to be implemented.

Afriyie, whom the Commission recommended that he should stay away from all national teams football related issues, has accused the former Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) chairman of putting pressure on the government to act, and has told him to be worried that their work was overlooked.

“The Commission has done its work and I think it ends there;  allow the rest of the law to work, but he taken it too personal to the extent that he wants certain individuals taken on by the government.” the Liberty Professionals chairman told Happy FM.

“His incessant push for government to accepted their recommendations is becoming too much. Is this the only Commission to have  been set by government in this country?

“We’ve had many Commissions in this country including Gbadegbe Commission, Okudzeto Commission, Ghana 50 Commission and recently Gyasi Sarpong Commission, is that how they talk on radio?

“Is he saying that the person you recommended action should be taken against should not defend himself?

“Majority of the recommendations were rejected by government, it is the only Commission government rejected majority of their findings, isn’t he worried about that?” He quizzed.

George Afriyie Backs Hearts To Win GPL

The vice president of the Ghana Football Association, George Afriyie has backed Accra Hearts of Oak to win the 2015/16 Ghana Premier League.

The Phobians has started the new season impressively, winning their first two premier league matches against New Edubiase and Medeama SC with stupendous performance, and the Liberty Professionals chairman is convinced the title is theirs to lose.

Hearts of Oak appointed Kenichi Yatsuhashi last year to replace Herbert Addo, and the decision met a public outcry.

It was described as ‘visionless’ by football pundits and a section of the media, whilst other football administrators termed the decision ‘the falling standard of the Oak tree.’

But the Japanese-American trainer is wowing football-loving  fans and the media with super football accompanied with results, and George Afriyie says he never doubted the abilities  Mr. Kenichi and has thrown his weight behind the 2000 CAF Champions League winners to end their seven-year premier league barren run.

“When they appointed him, there were lot of noises. I called some my journalists friends to water down on their criticism,” he told Accra-based Starr FM

“I told them it was too early to criticised the man.

“Now from what he is doing and with the support of the Japanese community in Ghana, trust me I tip Hearts of Oak to win the league crown.”

Hearts of Oak will travel to Cape Coast to face Ebusua Dwarfs on Match Week Three of the GPL.

Why George Afriyie Left G. Olympics

Vice president of the Ghana Football Association, George Afriyie was the Administrative Manager of Division One side Great Olympics.

The football administrator left the for former Ghana Premier League champions in to join Liberty Professionals and he is currently chairman of the club.

George Afriyie, much noted for his passion for the game, left the Great Olympics after he was served a bitter wine to swallow, according to ardent supporter of the Accra-based club, Joseph Langabel.

Speaking to sportscrusader.com, Langabel revealed that George Afriyie was forced out of Great Olympics in sour circumstances. He revealed that the club stabbed him at the back and he had to leave.

“I love Accra Great Olympics because it is my club and i will always support them, but I have joined Kotoko and will support them wherever they will go.

“Great Olympics is on and off, and their attitude forced George Afriyie out. The man spent huge sums of money to build the team, but management did stabbed him.

“He invested so much and the hope of getting back his money was to come from the Glo sponsorship money, but management quickly went for the money without telling him.

“If you’re the one, how will you feel? It is sad that Great Olympics has sunk so low. George Afriyie was going to make Olympics a big club, but management made his decision untenable.”

George Afriyie was named vice president of the Ghana Football Association last year after the FA elections.

I Will Turn Your Land Cruiser Into A Taxi - Afriyie Warns One Man Supporter

Vice president of the Ghana Football Association,  George Afriyie has told Abraham Boakye, popularly known as ‘One Man Supporter’ that he will seize his land cruiser vehicle and turn it into a taxi.

Abraham Boakye petitioned the High Court of Ghana to ensure that the 2014 Presidential Commission of Inquiry into Ghana’s fiasco in Brazil recommendation that George Afriyie should stay out of all football related issues in the national team is abided by.

And George Afriyie says that Abraham Boakye has crossed the line, and he will seize his car and turn it into a taxi.

“I don’t have anything to say, but all I can say is that, you are doomed if your parents failed to send you to school,” the chairman of Liberty Professionals told Atinka FM.

“He thinks he knows the law more, but I will show him that he has threaded at the wrong place. I will seize his land cruiser and dust it as a taxi.

“He has crossed the line and he won’t go free.” He added.

George Afriyie revealed that he challenged the Dzamefe-led Commission of Inquiry recommendation, and was successful, but Abraham Boakye ‘ignorantly’ takes it upon himself to ensure the law take its course.

“I am a law-abiding citizen and I wouldn’t do anything contrary to the law. I appealed the Commission’s recommendation at the Appeals Court and even the incoming sports minister  (Nii Lantey Vanderpuije) is aware. When he was quizzed during his vetting about implementing the recommendations, he said some people appealed the decisions, but One man believes he knows it all,” he said.

He also confirmed receiving a note toappear in court.

“I have the received the letter and meet him in court, but I want him to know that I will seize his land cruiser.” He stated.

Banter: Starlets Ecuador 95 Success Was Due To Hardwork And Not... Oti Akenteng

Yes We’d Spiritual Backing But World Cup Success Was Down To Hardwork – Oti Akenteng

The Ghana Black Starlets under the tutelage of Coach Emmanuel Kwasi Afranie and ably supported by Oti Akenteng led Ghana to wins its second trophy at the youth level after previously winning in 1991.

 

 

The FIFA U-17 World Championship, kicked off in Ecuador with Ghana’s unequalled record of three Final appearances and two wins had them tagged the team to beat in this age group and didn’t surprise the pundit and many bookmakers who had made the Starlets the favourite when Ghana beat Brazil 3-2 in the final match.

 

But in an interesting turn of event, former starlets player and a member of the Ecuador 95 success story had revealed what he termed as ‘spiritual assistance’ the secret and not the favourite tag as the reason for the triumph. The play-maker nicknamed the dribbling magician believes a powerful prayer from one Pastor Acquah Isaac and a daring message claiming should they fail to win the trophy he’s willing to give up his church as the tool for the success.

Flashback: Awudu Issaka kisses the FIFA U17 trophy

Coach Oti Akenteng who is currently the technical director at the Ghana football association and leader of the delegation that called on the Pastor before the team departed for the youth championship disagrees with his former player and doesn’t believe that was a guarantee for their victory in Ecuador.

 

Speaking to Kumasi based radio station, Boss fm 93.7, the former Heart of Lions coach said,  “Yes Awudu is right, we visited Pastor Isaac Acquah before we departed for Ecuador. He prayed for us! I led the team there because that’s where I fellowship and I’d faith and believe in the man-of-God.”

 

“He assured us of world cup success but we also knew how to pray and so we did and we also put in hard-work into the competition and that also contributed to the success we chalked but not because the pastor prayed or prophesized we won,” he added.

 

The recent Ghana Black starlets have struggled to perform better or even closer to the 1991 and 1995 group and it has become a national concern as that stage acts as a feeder team to the rest of the national teams namely, the U-20 (Black Satellites), the U-23 (Black Meteors) and the senior national team (the Black Stars).

Revelation: We"d No Agreement With Any Pastor - Oti Akenteng

No One Promised The Pastor Anything – Oti Akenteng

Ghana FA technical director Francis Oti Akenteng has cooled off talks by former starlets player, Awudu Isaaka claiming the technical team and the playing body of the victorious 95 squad that conquered the world of football at the FIFA U-17 world cup in Ecuador failed to adhere to their side of the bargain after meeting a man-of-God before leaving for the tournament.

 

Awudu Issaka in an interview with Kumasi based, Boss FM had revealed spiritual assistance and favour the team enjoyed when they visited Pastor Acquah Isaac at his church before leaving Ghana for the tournament in Ecuador.

The skillful Issaka continued in his revelation that an agreement between the man of God and the technical handlers of the team – should the team succeed as the pastor had prophesized – the team should come back to his church and show appreciation – which the team didn’t.

 

Akenteng who was assistant manager to head coach Kwasi Afranie has rebuffed those claims of an agreement between them and the pastor. Speaking to Kumasi based Boss fm 93.7, ‘Nyame Ba’ – meaning child of God said, “we returned to Pastor Isaac after the world cup success in Ecuador 95 and thanked him for the prayers though I can’t recollect exactly what his prayer line was, he nonetheless showered upon us before we departed.”

 

“Posing next to the trophy and taking pictures was enough as we’d no agreement with Pastor Acquah Isaac. I can say on authority we had no agreement to return the favour should the Starlets win the trophy,” he added.

 

The Black Starlets are reported to have been cursed since the last success but is yet to repeat that feat since then with the team recently serving a ban last year for fielding an unqualified player.

Spiritual Matters Can"t Be Heard At Court - Lawyer

The Court Works With Evidence; How Do We Prove Spiritual Acts

Rashid Sumaila has been accused by mallam Issaka Salia for been responsible for the career threatening injury that hit fellow Black stars defender, Jerry Akaminko in a dress rehearsal friendly against the Netherlands in Amsterdam before the team departed for the FIFA world cup in Brazil, 2014.

 

According to the spiritualist, the former Kotoko defender, Sumaila visited the shrine to seek spiritual help as the final squad of 23 who will fly the flag of Ghana high was to be released by then head coach, Kwesi Appiah. In his revelation, mallam Salia said an injury meant for Rashid Sumaila will be diverted towards Jerry Akaminko who was favourite to make the squad unlike Rashid.

But the former South African based defender has been quick to rubbish those claims stating the mallam is looking for cheap fame as none of his allegations conforms with his Islamic faith.

 

Lawyer Ishmael Boakye who doubles as Kumasi Asante Kotoko board secretary has spoken on what some Ghanaians claim is enough evidence to warrant the arrest of both mallam Salia and Rashid Sumaila for perpetrating such evil against a fellow human being.

“Here in Ghana the court does not sit on spiritual cases. With Jerry-Rashid’s allegation currently making the waves in Ghana no one can prosecute the mallam as what he did cannot be proven as it is a spiritual matter. Since no one was present when he (the mallam) was working out Akaminko’s injury he can’t be prosecuted, if the mallam had been caught inflicting the player physically on the said player, then he could be prosecuted,” he told Kumasi based, Bos fm.

“In Kenya or somewhere in Africa there’s a court that sits on spiritual cases and maybe if it had happened there would have been able to prosecute the mallam and the player who visited for the assistance,” he added.

 

Jerry Akaminko has be silent on the issue since the revelation broke out.

Revelation: "Spiritual Assistance" Is The Secret Behind Ghana"s 1995 FIFA U17 Glory - Awudu Isaaka

Spirituality  Does Exist In Football – Awudu Issaka

Mallam Issaka Salia’s revelation alleging Rashid Sumaila is responsible for Jerry Akaminko’s career threatening injury pre-world cup 2014 in a friendly match against Netherlands has opened up closets of spiritual assistance seeked by heads of the national teams and its players.

 

Many have accused players called into the various national teams of consulting ‘black magic’ to help their course of retaining their spot when they are called up into the teams. Its been difficult to prove as many players refuse to comment on but in the long run do when things begin to fall apart in their life post footballing career.

 

Awudu Issaka, nicknamed the dribbling magician was a prominent member of the U17 team that brought Ghana glory in 1995 but his career that many predicted will be a fruitful and successful one didn’t go as planned.

In an interview with Kumasi based radio, Boss fm 93.7, Issaka revealed the secret behind their success story in Ecuador and why they were confident before the tournament even commenced.

“In 1995 before we travelled to Ecuador for the FIFA U-17 world cup, we visited a man of God named, Servant Isaac at Akim-Oda who fore-casted that we’ll win the tournament. He then cursed his Church to collapse should we return to Ghana without the FIFA U17 world cup trophy and this statement meant he (the man of God) knew what had seen,” he said.

 

“Upon arrival in Ghana with the trophy the playing body especially the players had deals outside and as a result the praise that he was expecting from us was absent and from thence he cursed the team and I made to believe it is a contributing factor to the current decline of the national U-17,” he added.

 

Ghana is yet to replicate the success story in 1991 and 1995.

Celebrating his victory with a press briefing, Nyantakyi said to the gathered press, he was delighted to be re-elected and honoured with the confidence imposed in him.

Nyantakyi narrated his ordeal when 3 straight votes were counted for contender, Gibrilla Amidu whilst he had none. He said, “When you win a match, whether penalty shootout or the goal score in injury or offside goal it s still a win. i didn’t think it will be this close but well it showed a level of awareness and interest people have in taking part in governance. Four thought I should continue, three thought otherwise.

 

 

He added, “If you lose an election does not mean you’ve lost it all, there is life after death. Don’t go into an election creating so much anxiety within you to the extent that you might falling sick after losing the election. I could have lost and knew could have won as well.”

“I’ve the dead goat syndrome, I’ve contested many elections so I was not afraid of losing.”
