Ghana's John Boye Pictured Kissing His Share Of $3 Million Cash Bonus by coded01: 8:40am On Jun 28, 2014 |
Normally it's France's responsibility to go into crisis mode at a World Cup tournament, but in 2014, the baton appears to have been handed over to Ghana. On Wednesday — a day before Kevin Prince Boateng and Sulley Muntari were sent home in disgrace — Ghana's president John Dramani Mahama had $3 million in cash flown by chartered jet to the Black Stars in Brazil to settle a dispute over appearance fees and bonuses. This money would normally be paid to players by FIFA at the conclusion of the tournament, but according to the AP, the players simply demanded it earlier. Incredibly, the chartered jet full of cash was not hijacked by Bane while in transit to Brazil, and it survived a convoy through the roads of Brasilia that looked like something from a Michael Mann movie: The money reached Ghana's players at their hotel on Wednesday evening, where up to $100,000 was distributed to each player. According to Globo, some players shoved wads the cash in their pockets, while others "wrapped it up in clothing." When John Boye received his $100,000 stack, the Rennes midfielder was pictured kissing it. Which tells you absolutely everything you need to know about modern football. Western readers may wonder why the players were not paid by bank transfer, but Globo note that cash payment is very common in Ghana. In fact, some of the players do not even have bank accounts in the country. When The Guardian asked the players where they would keep their cash windfall in the short term, Christian Atsu responded: "That’s a difficult question for me. Of course we will keep it in our bags. We just lock them." Apparently, telling the world that there is thousands of dollars in a bag in your hotel room while you are out playing a game against Portugal is a solid idea. Getting that bag through customs will also be a lot of fun... http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/soccer-dirty-tackle/ghana-s-john-boye-pictured-kissing-his-share-of--3-million-cash-bonus-155034891.html 1 Like

Charlie no dey carry last... Honestly, this is what Africa gets when we blame the government for everything but ourselves! Don't get me wrong, there is nothing abnormal seeing Boye kiss $100,000 but you would imagine they had played well to truly deserve such amount but NO! Having watched Ghana vs Portugal, they had a better chance to qualify than Portugal did but when you see players selfish with the ball and you watch the Goalkeeper insensibly punching the ball directly to Ronaldo that led to Portugal's 2nd goal not forgetting the initial poor clearance from the Ghanaian defender that unfortunately was Portugal's 1st goal and to think that Portugal's goals in this World cup came from unavoidable mistakes by Opponents...Smh... --- Portugal is a disgrace to modern day football... --- Infact all real madrid players should lie down flat now... ---- Is this the best Ghana could produce at the World Cup? As for Ivory Coast and Cameroon, i rest my case! --- What a failure! I am proud of the Algerians and its right to say that they truly deserve to be in this World Cup... Super Eagles, i am flabbergasted at their superlative performances so far in this World Cup... 48 Likes |

It is no greed, he pursued a career and today it is paying off. All we need is to find the path of destiny and follow it without turning to embrace distractions. For Undergraduates viewing this post, all you need now is to read your books and pursue your passion even while on campus, most big men who shake the world today can be traced back to college, ask the music stars. And for those who cry for sponsorship, opportunities are littered here and there. All you need is the right information. I recently saw a Scholarship advert by NLNG and it is worth N300,000 till you graduate. You can go for it and who knows how it will turn out for you. I saw the scholarship here http://.com/apply-20142015-nlng-undergraduate-scholarship/ So find your own path and stop critiquing people who earn money from their long developed career. 11 Likes |

I will always keep citing the legendary Tony Adams, ''play for the name at the front of the jersey, and the name at the back will be remembered forever''.. It's seem all d players play for these days is the cash(to an extent there's nothing wrong with that. Afterall he who works, has to get his reward). But the manner in which these bunch have potrayed themselves in public is nothing short of digusting! More like some mannerless school kids.. 3 Likes |

Who Is To Be Blamed?? The Country?? NO The Economy?? NO The Coach?? MAYBE The Players HELL FVCKING YEA. Why the coach?? There are a whole lot of other Ghanian players I believe, who would put up better performances at the world stage with little or no crave for cash. All they will care about is the Glory! The Players They're idiots who should never be allowed to wear their countries jersey anymore. How do you come to a World Cup and then want to hold your country to ransom because of cash. It's the depth of being low! As for Boye, in saner climes, he should be dumped and done with. He should never feature in any league for any team. He's a Capital DISGRACE to football! 7 Likes |
