Ghana World Cup squad: ‘It’s in my mind for a while’ – Hudson-Odoi on Black Stars decision  

Bayer Leverkusen forward Callum Hudson-Odoi says choosing between Ghana and England ahead of the Qatar 2022 World Cup ‘has been in his mind’.

The 21-year-old on-loan Chelsea player has been in the conversation to switch nationality from England to Ghana since 2021 after he visited the country of his parents. 

Talks about playing for Ghana at the World Cup have taken place given Hudson-Odoi’s Ghanaian heritage. His mum and dad are Ghanaians. 

He paid a grand visit to the West African country in 2021, even paying a courtesy call on President Nana Akufo-Addo. 

Although he has already played three times for England, new Fifa rules mean that if those appearances happen before a player is 21, which is the case with Hudson Odoi, he can switch allegiance.

Asked if talks had taken place with Ghana, Hudson-Odoi cracked a smile and said: “Nothing I would say at the moment on camera, I would love to tell you, but I couldn’t say,” in an interview with the BBC.

“At the moment it’s more just focusing on the best I can do here. You never know what will happen in the future.

“Obviously the Ghana-England situation has been on my mind for a while. But I think right now it was more of the focus of coming here, really getting myself back into shape, playing a lot of games and just feeling like myself. Right now my mind is just open.”

Several reports say Odoi has been included in Ghana’s provisional squad for the World Cup. He will be eligible to play for Ghana on November 17, 2022, coincidentally, the day Ghana will play Switzerland in the final warmup game to the tournament.

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...
