Kevin Prince Boateng Says He Would ‘Reconsider’ Playing for the Stars | I Say Never Let Him Near our National Side Again

One of the fallouts of Ghana’s shambolic world cup campaign was the suspension of star duo Kevin Prince Boateng and Sulley Muntari. Whilst Sulley would surely be back, as this isn’t the first time he has been suspended from the Stars, Boateng’s case is a little less clear cut.

This is because he was apparently one of the ring leaders in the ‘$3m’ fiasco, and also got into an altercation with the coach. Since his suspension, he also held an interview in which he basically burned all his bridges with the Football Association.

So I was very surprised when he held an interview with German magazine Bild, in which he left a slim hope hanging for a Stars’s return. He told the magazine ”I would reconsider the subject, if someone approaches me”

Leaving aside the condition that someone might never approach him, I think it’s time we admitted this Boateng experiment has been a failure and move on. This relationship has never been a love affair, but a mutually beneficial exploitative arrangement; those never last, and it’s time we admit this partnership has run its course.

Boateng initially wanted to play for Germany, he only considered Ghana because he wasn’t good enough to crack the German side, and he took the chance to appear at the world cup. Afterwards, when his performances with the Black Stars earned him a deal with Italian giants A.C Milan, he promptly retired from the Black Stars.

His reason; his body couldn’t handle the dual pressures of playing for both club and country. That has got to be lamest excuse ever; every footballer worth his salt plays for both club and country, so why is Prince so special?

The real reason, of course, was that there was a lengthy qualifying process to navigate and he wanted nothing to do with it. When qualification was all but sealed, who comes out of international retirement to take all the glory? I give you one guess as to who it is.

Another Beauty Pageant Saga: MISS SUPRANATIONAL GHANA in Scandalous Allegations | Some Contestants Want to Exit But Organizers Say No

MISS SUPRANATIONAL GHANA

 

While Miss Ghana is still in crisis – facing public ridicule and censor as well as a possible court action instituted against them – by Miss Guissipena Baafi, Miss Ghana 2013, new allegations reaching GhanaCelebrities.Com has it that another beauty pageant by name Miss Supranational Ghana, could be finding itself in a seeming situation.

Miss Supranational Ghana is a beauty pageant organized by Lilys House Entertainment. The pageant is poised with a mission of raising role models with a module of “Beauty with Talent and not Beauty with Sex.” It is also part of their social responsibility to divert the attention of the youths, especially girls, from crime, streets, and redirect them towards worthwhile ventures as well as create job opportunities for the winners.

It showcases talents, cultural heritage and rich tourism potentials to the world and attracts tourists from all over the world. They had a 3 day audition – 6th – 8th June, 2014 at Sweeties Lounge, East Airport, down Spintex flower pot junction, near Lister Hospital or Palace Supermarket.

Currently, the contestants for the 2014 edition have been housed in a hotel at Weija. GhanaCelebrities.Com has gathered that some of the contestants are alleged to be under serious frustration. First, the allegation has it that the organizers collected over 20 phones belonging to the contestants but all the phones have gotten lost.

Though the contestants have continuously demanded for their phones, the organizers have paid deaf ears. Secondly, the contestants are mostly served rice and stew but though they’ve reported being fed up with it, the organizers claim that rice and stew is what they can afford so the contestants should make do with that.

Contestants, who fail to eat the aforementioned delicacy, always use their own money to get other foods of their choice as well as buy other basic necessities with their own monies.

Thirdly, some of the frustrated contestants have pleaded with the organizers to allow them exit the pageant but the organizers insist they stay till the end of the pageant.

Would You Guys Support? | Let’s Help Make an IMPACT & Bring the CHANGE We Want

Help
Help

With the millions of readers who visit GhanaCelebrities.Com ( those with Ghana at heart)  in mind, I’ve decided we add something touching to our focus as an online community and strengthen the GC family—through reaching out to help those in desperate need.

Recently, we published an article with a photo which made us aware of the appalling conditions of a particular school in Ghana– Amenam Local Authority Primary and Junior High School, where children sat on pile of blocks to study. In this particular school, “the six-block classroom is built of clay. Part of the roof has been ripped off- the effects of severe weather. Inside the classrooms, there are just about a few broken desks.”

The government is aware of this and has done nothing about it—and waiting on the Ghanaian government to get certain things done means, we will never have the change we want to see. Also, when you look at the bigger picture, we are all part of the government so why don’t we help when we can?

So after a particular conversation, I’ve decided that starting with this particular school, we should be able to occasionally raise some little money via donation and help to make an impact—by bringing change to some of the poorest people in Ghana.

For transparent reasons, I will be avoiding any of the various Foundations and Charities. And we will set up an open donation account on one of the many web fund raising sites which allows everyone to donate and also see how much has been raised/donated—live update of donations.

Once we’ve reached an amount, we will get the things (in this case, the chairs and tables) the school needs and together with a GC reporter/photographer, a presentation will be done.

This is to say that the youth is giving attention to health and this also indicates that we are moving in the right direction as a people,” says Okyeame Kwame.

He also told journalists that the charity screening and vaccination project is aimed at educating people about the disease and also helping curb it.

For his part, the president of the Theobald Hepatitis B Foundation, Mr. Theobald Owusu Ansah, called on the government to give much attention to Hepatitis B.
