On this day, as we commemorate #HumanRightsDay2023 and bring an end to the #16DaysOfActivism against gender-based violence, let us take a moment to ponder the values of Freedom, Equality, and Justice for All.
🚨 BREAKING: Jamie Carragher blasts FIFA and Canada over Thomas Partey visa controversy
"This is an absolute disgrace from a tournament planning point of view. You spend years building towards a World Cup, qualifying, preparing squads, getting everything right — and then something like this happens days before kickoff. It’s just not acceptable at this level of football."
"If Thomas Partey is part of Ghana’s plans and has been cleared to be in the squad, then how does it get to a point where a visa issue knocks him out of the opening game against Panama? That’s not football, that’s administration failure."
"I don’t care who is responsible — FIFA, Canada, immigration — someone has to take accountability. You cannot tell fans to invest emotionally in a tournament and then allow situations where key players are missing because paperwork wasn’t sorted in time."
"At the very least, these issues should be resolved weeks before the first match. It’s unfair on the player, it’s unfair on Ghana, and it damages the integrity of the competition. This is exactly the kind of chaos that should never happen at a World Cup."
Again @samgeorgegh - Your intellectual dishonesty is nauseating. Homosexuality was removed in 1973 as a mental disorder because science proved that insane perceptions from people like you, who categorised sexual deviation as a personality disorder, should not be taken seriously.

Someone must file a Right to Information request on how much we've paid lawyers for all these senseless bills to be drafted.
The very lawyers behind this must also be publicly known.
The government has too much power in Ghana. Now we want to give it more power.
How senseless can you all be!
If you want to be an autocrat, go and build your own society!
