Let’s for a minute forget the fact that we do not have electricity in Ghana and pretend everything is alright—even that, which reasonable person would invest 6 million dollars into any enterprise which he would gain 1.5 million dollars should things go as planned?
This is exactly what Ghana’s government did—the Government has revealed that a total of $5.717.869 was spent on Ghana’s preparation and participation in the 2015 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament in Equatorial Guinea.
Note that the 16 finalists of this year’s AFCON in Equatorial Guinea were given a total of 10 million dollars with the eventual winner taking home earning $1.5 million.
So even if we had won the cup; we would have taken $1.5 million home—and yet, we decided to second about 6 million dollars to chase it.
If this is not insanity at the highest level, then it’s surely wickedness or both. Why are our leaders doing this to us?
