Andre Ayew was directed by a spiritualist and hurray, Ghana won. To be continued |

The few examples cited above are all Ghanaian because I am Ghanaian and I know there are similar stories the world over On the contrary, is spiritism is the key, how come countries such as India and Benin who are noted for extreme spiritism haven't won football laurels?
