safarigirl: I doubt payment of salaries count, besides, I beleive the Cameroonian president personally intervened for Eto'o to return to the National team

CFCfan:
FIFA talks with both sides of their
mouths. The govt paying a coach's salary
is no problem, the govt commiting
billions of $$ to host a FIFA tournament
is okay, but that same govt dare not
interfere in the running of the FA.
It's totally ridiculous.

collynzo2: FIFA didn't frown when your President was travelling from France to Germany, kneeling down and begging the Ayew brothers and Boateng to come back from retirement.

safarigirl: you should be smart enough to know this applies to all countries. Btw, the Presidency is now in charge of Keshi's salary. A coach of Keshi's standards who has created an AFCON-winning team from scratch has no business with NFF anymore, just like Westerhof.

safarigirl: lol, Ghana is GONE. Abeg when last did Ghana play against an European team since the WC? A team that couldn't win AFCON in 2012 and 2013, back to back, losing to weak teams, Naija didn't even qualify for 2012, yet we brought a new team and STILL won Ghana. The Nigeria of 2010 is not the Nigeria of 2013, just as the Ghana of 2010 isn't the Ghana of 2013. Cameroon got to QF in 1990 and haven't done same since then, Senegal's story is worse since '02, so whoever's deceiving Ghana that they'll break that jinx is being evil. They'll be lucky to draw against USA sef, comparing a revolution-torn Egypt to stable Germany or Portugal is laughable. I beleive the entire Group B would've been cancelled out after Round of 16.

CFCfan: Anyway, FIFA will give both Nigeria and Ghana $1.5 million each to prepare fir the world cup. Allteams eliminated from the group stage will receive $8 million.

Therefore, Naija and Ghana are assured of at least $9.5 million each

Jigga_man101:

I also posted sites from espn and other sports website. Some say Nigeria will come out, some say Iran and some say Bosnia. The only constant is Argentina.

Iran, Bosnia and Nigeria are capable of beating each other. The analysis is right on spot. I wouldn't want to bet on any of these games because it can go either way.

collynzo2: Only village analysts who follow football through transistor radios will boldly predict that Belgium will win the world cip in Brazil.
Tell your friend to stop posting links from such useless sites here, he is fond of that nonsense.

Jigga_man101:

Can't debate so he starts insulting. I will not retaliate because it is childish

GH Swagg:

Is he new to you? Well, he has obtained a masters degree in INSULTS

collynzo2: Pundits and fans from your village, I am sure they listen to football commentaries on transistor radios.

Afam4eva: The people on this site are daft http://www.faniq.com/blog/Full-2014-FIFA-World-Cup-predictions-Blog-73315 How can they tip iran ahead of Nigeria. This doesn't just make sense. We have more football pedigree than Iran and we're currently at our best.

safarigirl: at least all you Ghanaians remember me for something, I don't even know any of you for squat.

safarigirl: You should be glad I'm giving Ghana a chance, something most football pundits aren't giving y'all.

safarigirl:
Then again, how can they? When your top player plays in Al ain of UAE and you need the likes of Essien wey dey dust Mikel Obi boot for Chelsea to qualify? Can you compare those to the likes of Ozil, CR7 and Donovan? If you guys fail to win USA- which is a tall order in it's self, you might as well just collect your 'WE WERE AT BRAZIL2014' key holder and add it to your 'WE WERE AT AFCON2013' notebook

safarigirl: After further thought, Ghana actually stands a chance of qualifying, they just have to win USA in their first group game and draw the other 2, hoping others do the dirty work for them, but can they beat USA?

zaandrew:

the army of the DRC is larger than nigeria with T72 tanks, helcopters, jets, extra yet got beaten in pitch battel 2012. Same can happen with any country.

rka1:

There has not been carpet bombing of civilian areas, only BH camps in the forests and mountains. Every country has people sympathetic to whatever cause you are fighting, it isn't about competency. The soldiers are well trained, they just lack on occasions the necessary equipment to tackle this particular insurgency.

chris365:

War? Ghana is not an aggressor na. So I doubt it will lead to that. I'm just a little skeptical about my opinion cos France fights for it's interest and not it's colony.

Ghana will do well to start arming up cos France wants a piece of that oil and will use ivory coast as a front like they did in bakassi.

Henry120:

The desire for sex isn't the motivating factor, infact it is not in any way a factor. The crux of the matter is the believe that the F.G is waging a war on islam. They(boko-haram) are fighting a holy war.


Intelligence is vital and carpet bombing is vital. However getting the means for that intelligence is not just a walk in the park. Fighting Insurgency is no easy feat.

Carpet bombing has infact been a tremedous success. This is the first attack on the city of maiduiguiri since june of this year.


I do not believe that there are more competent soldiers anywhere in africa, than what we have in nigeria. However, like the rest of the continent, there are constraints. More problems than the available resources can manage.

rka1:

It is what they see as one of their rewards in fighting infid*ls. What are you going to promise a poor, illiterate Jihadist when they get to paradise. More wars?

It isn't a flop, that's why they launched the attack on the airbase because of the serious damage being caused. The problem is the lack of follow-up with the required air assets and ground troops mainly by SF and COIN based troops, although the terrain is very unforgiving that's why air mobility assets and more aircraft with precision laser guided bombs and missiles are required.

chris365:

I had the same discussion with afriend just this morning. Ghana needs to be really careful cos the country is gradually becoming an extented battlefield between pro and anti gbagbo militias. and France as usual is at the epicenter.

rka1:

They can fight back because it is an ideology and they have a lot of recruits both from within and without, i.e. Shuwa Arabs, Nigeriens, Malians, Cameroonians, etc. There are a lot of foreign fighters and BH recently called for Islamic Fighters to join their campaign. Added to this is collusion from some members of the armed forces.

A lot of them get killed, but they don't care as they really want their virgins.

Radio XYZ:
Ivory Coast sent hit squads to Ghana to
kill followers of former strongman
Laurent Gbagbo and paid Liberian
mercenaries not to stage cross-border
attacks for Gbagbo, a UN report said.
The Ghana government told United
Nations experts they had "foiled" at
least two missions this year by Ivory
Coast agents to kill or abduct Gbagbo
associates, said the report obtained by
AFP on Sunday.
"The Ghanaian authorities claimed to
have foiled at least two such missions in
early 2013," said the report.
At least one former Gbagbo supporter,
who had returned to Ivory Coast, "had
been abducted and had disappeared," it
added.
According to the report, Payments were
made to Liberian mercenaries and Ivory
Coast militia commanders in a bid to
head off attacks aimed at destabilising
President Alassane Ouattara's
government.
The report to the Security Council, by
experts who monitor UN sanctions
against Liberia, cast new light on efforts
by Ouattara's government to blunt the
threat from Gbagbo, whose refusal to
concede defeat in a 2010 presidential
election sparked unrest in which
thousands died.
Gbagbo is now at the International
Criminal Court in The Hague facing
charges of crimes against humanity. But
several cross-border attacks were
staged from Liberia in 2012 and the UN
mission in Ivory Coast has said several
times that new incidents are possible.
The Ghanaian government told the UN
experts in July that its neighbour had
been sending Ivorian agents intending
to assassinate or kidnap militant pro-
Gbagbo refugees.
The experts said they had been unable
to "independently verify" the claims.
But they met several former Gbagbo
ministers in the Ghanaian capital, Accra,
who said they wanted to return "but
were afraid that they would be killed if
they succeeded."
Gbagbo refused to accept the result of
the presidential election in late 2010. At
least 3,000 people died in five months of
unrest before he was captured in an
operation backed by UN and French
forces.
Ivory Coast was gripped by civil war for
much of the previous two decades.
Ouattara has embarked on
reconciliation efforts but has been urged
to move faster and to clamp down on
corruption.
Government payments
The UN experts said they had "gathered
substantive information" concerning
payments made from May this year by
the Ivory Coast government to "key
Liberian mercenaries."
Two of the mercenary leaders were
identified as Isaac Chegbo, who is also
known as "Bob Marley" and Augustine
"Bush Dog" Vleyee.
Money was paid for "collecting
information from these individuals and
discouraging them from conducting
cross-border attacks," said the report.
It said the payments were made by the
Ivory Coast interior ministry's bureau of
operational intelligence.
The mercenaries told the UN sanctions
experts they were taken to Abidjan to
receive money. One said he was given $
8,000 but others said they got as little as
$2,000.
"Several of the mercenaries who had
received such payments complained that
they had been promised substantially
more money," the report said.
The mercenaries "alleged that additional
financing had been misappropriated by
Ivorian officials" and the Liberian
intermediary.
The UN report said that while attacks
had diminished this year, the payments
were not a "sustainable" way of keeping
the lid on tensions in the country.
