GHANA 2017………WEEEEEER DODGE!
Papa Ghana,
You know as
much as I do
That the year
2008 is past and gone.
Gone with the
wind.
Yet, the
ghost of CAN 2008 is yet to rest in peace in your history.
I never
intend having it in mind
But the mere
mention of the name ‘W oyome’
Is more than
enough to revive the ghost of that tournament.
That ghost
that never says die.
What baffles
me is that
Seven long years
after CAN 2008,
You’re yet to
fully clean up the mess left behind.
It’s been seven
donkey years since AFCON 2008
Nonetheless,
you’re yet to recover from
The financial
and reputational haemorrhage you suffered.
You spent
fortunes in building and renovating national stadia
For the
tournament in 2008.
We’re in 2015
and those facilities are already looking like
Osagyefo Dr. Kwame
Nkrumah’s first baby court.
Why are you
striving as a nation to host a jamboree
When you’re
yet to fully clear the mess from the previous one?
You’re
bidding to host AFCON 2017 against Gabon and Algeria.
Those guys
are wrapped in wet blankets.
Why do you
also want to jump over the fire they’re jumping over
With cotton
wool in your anus?
Your once
vibrant domestic football league is currently singing
‘Come
back,come back, come back to me’.
Countryman
Songo is dancing moonwalk with
‘Sika diey
nie basaa,Ogya nshiwu,Ogya nshi wu,Ogya nshi wu!’
Your power sector
is also sadly whispering
‘Do something
new in my life’.
Your infinite
creditors are queuing up at your door singing
‘We are
marching to our debtors’,
While your local
currency is silently humming
‘Killing me
softly’.
If there’s
any advice a well-meaning friend will offer you,
It’ll be for
you to humbly withdraw your AFCON 2017 bid.
Anyway, sorry
for bothering you with this long advice
Because information
reaching me from Cairo indicates that
Alhaji Issah
Hayatou says tweaaaaaa to Ghana 2017!
Cheers… Gabon
HAHAHAHAHAHA
