LOC should lift up their game for all African games .Ghana is not serious about this task . Looking for qualified ladies and gents for this game seem to be slow and seem we only want to take part .May be we are looking for money that we may get out of the games . By now should have gotten some potential from Universities , SHS/ technical schools and general public .When we come to the areas of the events, is a total failure so now they moving to UG .So the Olympic stadium and the village is half abandoned .For we only think of football even that one only black star where we spend a lot of money . So our leaders when you use basket to fetch water and it's licking don't you have change of mind ?.This is a great opportunity for the youth please get some good foreign company to finish Olympic stadium and the village to an international standard we get money from it .
