2006 World Cup: I saw my goal against Czech Republic before the game – Gyan  

Africa’s leading goal scorer at the World Cup, Asamoah Gyan, says he predicted his goal against the Czech Republic before the game in 2006.

The 36-year-old discloses after playing his first-ever game at the World Cup, he knew he was going to score in the next game because of the experience he gathered from the Italy clash.

“Our first game, Italy taught us a lesson. Although we played quite well, you could see they beat us with experience,” he told DStv.

“When we went back to the hotel, I and my brother were in a room and I told him, ‘I feel I am going to score in the next game because I know how the World Cup is now’.

“I didn’t know the goal will come that early – It was 1 minute eight seconds. It was the fastest goal at the 2006 World Cup. I didn’t know it was going to come this early but I predicted a goal because I felt it.”

The former Black Stars captain went on to narrate the events leading to one of the most talked about goals in his career against the United States of America (USA) in the 2010 World Cup.

The goal sealed Ghana’s qualification to a historic quarter-final berth before cashing out against Uruguay.

“I remember the game against USA I was sick,” he added. “I was down with malaria. The doctor said they thought I was not going to play the game.

“I was vomiting in the dressing room. I went there and everything changed so obviously I scored the winning goal during extra-time.”

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them. Related Posts Quoting a Scripture from Matthew, Papa Shee mentioned that no one should refer to a man as his/her spiritual father because the word speaks against it.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill. Residents say even though the year has been declared “Year of Roads” they are yet to see a kilometre of road being constructed. To the Youth especially, leaders in their part of the country have failed them after years of exploiting them for their own interest. They say they will advise themselves if nothing is done ab...
