You?re permanently red-carded, fired, sacked, dismissed; you proceed on terminal leave; you are relieved of your post, or shown the exit, Coach.It?sa sad case of more embarrassment and more shame for the motherland. The story: Coach Kwesi Appiah set up to fail so congress can tell the world that the Black man cannot manage his own affairs.

Congresspeople know my compatriots love their football and see an opportunity of an achievement in it as priceless propaganda tool. So they will scapegoat whoever they see as an impediment. It?s congress of false Nkrumah heritage; congress of deceit; congress of ?money-can-do-anything;? no-show congress desperate to achieve something.

As for those egomaniacs called foreign players, they can go on sabotaging a national pride with their slave found fame. Let them carry on with their ?I am rich so I will only listen to a white coach.? They can continue in that falsehood comfort zone. I can assure them they will never, I mean never, reach the highest of esteems: self-esteem.

Racial discrimination is about the collective. For as long as Africans are disrespected by others, wherever you go as one, you will be disrespected. Take or leave a few exceptions; those few exceptions will not matter. You will still be placed on a lower human pecking order.

Talk to a player you know. Tell him money does not do everything. Tell him respect follows humility. They can display their opulence. But count us, the obsessed with the dignity of the person of African heritage, out to care about their slave fame.

In all the noise following his sacking, someone made a very useful observation that Kwesi should have taken some time off to upgrade his coaching qualification beyond CAF. I agree with that. If I were Kwesi Appiah, I will quietly find ways of upgrading myself. I will work harder than ever to clear my name. I will succeed to ensure that the congress inferiority complex of ?shame the African? philosophy fails.

Kwesi?s plight is a handiwork of an ego-deflated anti-patriotic congress government desperately in search for face-saving football achievement in its propagandist ways to mask its failure of thieving economics.

Where is a ?Ghanaian coach by all means plan B and plan C?? I don?t see any plans or plan of succeeding with a Ghanaian coach. If there were, or was any or one, there would have been at least one or even two in line, proactively forecasting possible Kwesi ineffectiveness.

In football, money does not buy everything otherwise the richest would be the most successful. The richest does not succeed all the time; sometimes, not any time. Playing with passion for national pride, on the other hand, often pushes players to limits of success.

Nobody, especially congress, cares about my support for the national team. Care or care not about my support, however, I can assure all that none would be coming from me for the national team this day on for as long as it is only a non-compatriot who is considered good enough to coach it.

Someone should tell congress to walk the Nkrumah talk. They are too much a pain for Nkrumah believers. If they cannot walk it, they should not talk it. Players who do not understand this are not worth my pesewa. Let them go after the pound or dollar (for the regular jeers and cat calls they suffer from unenlightened fans). But let not anyone convert my cedi into a dollar and fly it to money-hungry players acting as unpatriotic congresspeople in the most disgraceful manner.

I don?t care if they allowed themselves to be used by congress? choo-boi stealing ways to profit from what should be a national assignment; a job to positively project and market the motherland in these days of cut-throat global competition.

We, born on Sunday, don?t relish sacks. We don?t surrender to humiliation. We fight back and restore because we are born to do that. Of course, if you are cursed to lead a GFA in congress times, jinxed by congress mediocrity which rubs off you and eventually shoves you into failure, it?s a greater challenge. But remember we born of Sunday, always triumph over odds and particularly if it?s a congress anti-patriotic and anti-African personality gang of thieves adversity.

Black Stars are stars of black, player and coach. Black Stars playing body without black coach is like having a ?black face with a white mask.? We cannot continue to be the ?wretched of the earth;? ego-battered into perpetual self-denigration and inferiority complex. The motherland deserves better.

Team Black Stars, organised to succeed without the spirit and soul of Black consciousness as expressed in ?the Black man [or woman] is capable of managing his [or her] own affairs,? is a fake of the Nkrumah dream team.
