Pic: Black Stars of Ghana get Jeep Cherokee from their president

When the Black Stars of Ghana placed second at the just concluded AFCON 2015 competition, their president promised them a Jeep Cherokee each among other gifts. The SUVs (pictured right) worth about $76,000 are now ready for pick up. The footballer's families have been asked to come pick the SUVs on behalf of the footballers who have since returned to their various bases in Europe.

The footballers also got $25,000 each. Some Ghanaians think the money and car gift is little, that the football stars deserve more for giving a good performance at the tournament despite not winning.

    Hi Linda, i'm Ghanaian and been a staunch follower of this blog for the last 5 years... FYI, these players and the technical team actually got $10,000 for each game played, i.e. $60,000 and then the $25,000 which the govt claim was sponsored(which most of us were totally upset about).. Then we heard about these SUVs.... Please Linda no Ghanaian has put it out there that these players should have gotten more... Infact we are demanding answers cos we have been going thru a power crisis for the last year and a half cos the govt claims it has no money to fuel our plants.... I love this blog Linda so we would appreciate it if you get your facts straight... Thank you and mmmuuuuaaaaahhhh

    Actually Ghanaians are outraged about the cars cos the economy is suffering and people think the players can already afford so why waste tax payers money giving them such expensive gifts...the govt has even come out to deny its involvement and the car dealer claims the gifts came from him not the govt.

    Point of correction Linda. Please conduct your research well before posting things about other countries. Almost everyone in Ghana is against the gesture made by the president. Its useless and a total waste of money considering the earlier reward of $25000 each awarded to them. So far we(Ghana) has spent about $6million on the team alone for the AFCON tournament,when the prize is worth $1.5million which we didn't even win. So tell me how some ghanaians would be happy about this,when 3 school children recently drowned whiles swimming to school all because the bridge that connects the town they reside in and that of the school has collapsed. 0.01% of the money spent on the blackstars would have been able to build a bridge for that community and three lives would have been saved. Not to talk of the demonstrations held in the capital recently about the depreciating cedi and how its affecting general prices in the country. Now tell me what you think our reaction to this gesture would be. I advice you take down this post or change the heading,because its false.
