@GTV_Ghana Madam, do you understand our laws on fraud?

[Ransford B. Akoto @rbakoto84]

@Joy997FM I honestly think that NPP party members should abstain from politically discussing this plea bargain matter. It will eventually not innure to the benefit of Chairman Wontumi.

Still the bestest to a lot of people out there. Jason said he was in Singapore in 2006 during the WC and fell in love with Tornado and Ghana. Married a Ghanaian wife and is fighting for an Appiah autograph

Government of Ghana’s strong reservations and high stakes diplomatic interventions following the Canadian Visa Refusal of Thomas Teye Partey of the Black Stars FIFA World Cup team.

[Vfynn_🥷🏼 𐙚 @Vfynn_]

🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Benjamin Mendy on Thomas Partey ruled out of Ghana’s crucial opening World Cup match against Panama due to his visa being denied by Canada over unproven allegations:

“People are asking me what I think about Thomas Partey being refused entry into Canada, and my answer is simple: football is becoming a courtroom where the verdict is delivered before the trial even begins.

I’ve seen this movie before. The headlines arrive first, the judgment follows immediately, and the truth is left struggling to catch up. In today’s world, an accusation can spread across the planet in seconds, while facts have to walk barefoot through a storm just to be heard.

We keep hearing people say, ‘No one is above the law.’ I agree completely. But the law works both ways. Justice isn’t only about punishment; it’s also about fairness. If we’re willing to throw away the principle of innocence the moment a headline appears, then we are replacing justice with emotion.

Football fans need to understand the danger here. Today it’s Thomas Partey. Yesterday it was someone else. Tomorrow it could be your favorite player. Once you create a culture where allegations alone are enough to destroy reputations in the eyes of millions, you’ve opened a door that won’t be easy to close.

Social media has become a wildfire. One spark, and suddenly everyone wants to be the judge, the jury, and the executioner. Careers are burned to ashes before a single verdict is reached. People speak with absolute certainty about things they know only through tweets, clips, and headlines.

And let’s be honest: if Thomas Partey was available and scoring goals next week, many of the same people acting morally superior today would be celebrating him if he played for their club. Football has always had selective outrage. Fans often care less about principles and more about whose badge is on the shirt.

What I see today is a dangerous trend. We are moving toward a world where public opinion carries more weight than due process. A world where hashtags are treated like evidence and viral posts are treated like legal documents.

Nobody is asking for special treatment. Nobody is asking for immunity. All I’m saying is that justice should remain in the hands of courts, not timelines. Let investigations speak. Let evidence speak. Let facts speak.

Because if football continues down this road, the game won’t be decided on the pitch anymore. It’ll be decided by whoever can generate the loudest outrage online.

And that’s a far more frightening precedent than any result on a football field.”

We're pleased to share that Somali referee Omar Artan will officiate the highly anticipated match between PSG and Aston Villa in Salzburg.

England is playing really well today. Ghana Black Stars has to be very careful.
If we go and defend against England, we are toast.

[Ransford B. Akoto @rbakoto84]

@Sammens Ah how? Which facts did they give the judge that we don’t know???

[Gary Al-Smith @garyalsmith]

What the Graphic have on their front page is, arguably, of more interest to the AVERAGE Ghanaian than all the other suggestions in your writeup.

The paper's fidelity is, first and foremost, to the average Ghanaian, before it is to the government who sponsor(s) it.

[U.S. Embassy Accra @USEmbassyGhana]

Justice has no borders. The United States has extradited Sedina Tamakloe Attionu to Ghana, following her conviction on 70+ corruption-related charges, including embezzling more than $6M equivalent in Ghanaian taxpayer funds. This is our strong U.S.-Ghana law enforcement partnership in action demonstrating a shared commitment to accountability, and the first extradition from the United States to Ghana since 2009. #USinGhana @GhanaMFA

[Muftawu Nabila Abdulai @Muftawu_Nabila]

Dear @FIFAcom,

If the USA denied Artan entry into their country, Canada and Mexico are co-hosts of the @FIFAWorldCup.

You could have sent him to Canada or Mexico to officiate matches there and exit from there instead of dropping him.

Monitoring Panama's last three games, I have no doubt in my mind that we need runners against them. They are proper physical monsters and that first game will not be won on skill, but brawn.
