Daily 2015 AFCON Round-Up: Favourites Cameroon And Cote D’Ivoire Held in Group D Stalemates

Cote d’Ivoire and Cameroon

The final day of first round games came to an end in the African Cup of Nations today as the favourites in Group D found themselves both on the wrong end of 1-1 draws.

The Black Stars had been humbled 2-1 by Senegal, whilst in the other Group C game Algeria beat South Africa 3-1; but for the rest of the continent the tournament continued unabated.

Cote d’Ivoire and Cameroon had both been set up as early favourites for qualification from Group D, but minnows Guinea and Mali both had other ideas. In the end, both giants had to fight from a goal down to secure disappointing 1-1 draws.

This tournament has had an unhealthy attachment to 1-1 draws, and Group D’s first game never looked like going that route. Both sides started brightly, the Ivoirians with their incredible array of talents including Manchester City’s Yaya Toure, new teammate Wilfried Bony, and A.S Roma’s Gervinho controlling play.

Weekly Discussion: The Advantages and Disadvantages of Living in Ghana & Living Abroad | Share Your Experience with Us…

Finland
Finland

Ghanaians are everywhere—from Timbuktu to Seoul and I wouldn’t be shocked if we have some few of our country men living in Pyongyang.

For those back home, they may be going through their own problems—ranging from electricity to high cost of living but the grass is not greener at the other end, contrary to popular assumption.

It’s hard everywhere under the sun—and though I have electricity out here in Finland, I do have to wake up at 5am in freezing temperatures for 6 days a week. And at the end of the month, most of the money I make vanishes into bills.

There are advantages and disadvantages wherever you choose to live—even though certain places are considered a little better than others, depending on what you really want in life.

New Music: ‘Ginger’ By Eazzy Feat. S.K Original | Yemi Alade’s Hit Song-Johnny Riff Off…

Eazzy has released her latest single-Ginger, which is more of a rip-off of Nigeria’s Yemi Alade’s hit song-Johnny.

It’s not a problem when a musician takes inspiration from another—but to jump unto the melody of another because it’s trending is quite pathetic.

If music is about creativity, then our Ghanaian artistes seem to be lacking in that department. We are always playing second to the creative minds else where setting trends.

Listen to the two songs below (take not of the melody)…

End of Black Stars’ Patriotism? | Ghanaians Are Happy that Black Stars Lost to Senegal

When it comes to football, Ghanaians are like Brazilians—they do not just like to watch their national team play, they are passionate about Black Stars and have always been.

But it seems that long devotion, passion and love for Ghana’s national team by Ghanaians have come to an end—and this was evident when Ghana lost to Senegal yesterday at the 2015 African Cup of Nations.

I watched the football match at a popular hangout with several Ghanaians and shockingly, many were hoping for Senegal to win—and eventually when it happened, the excitement on the faces of these people got me saying; the Black Stars have screwed up.

For many years, the Black Stars have continuously disappointed Ghanaians at major tournaments but even that, we still had their back anytime they wore the national jersey—but what happened in Brazil seems to have ended the long bitter connection between the Stars and the citizens.

It looks like, Ghanaians are not just worried about the Black Stars not winning matches when it really matters but they are worried about how these footballers and the Ghana Football Association took Ghanaians for granted—and I am talking about the money scandal at the world cup.
