US based Ghanaian singer and gospel minister Sonnie Badu has called on the Ghana Football Association to treat Ghanaian players well and stop playing in the gallery when they are gone.
He made this comment on the back of The death of Christian Atsusadly recounting how the player he watched was once referred to as the Ghanaian version of Lionel Messi was kicked out of the Black Stars despite his previous exploits with the team.
said when atsu he was dropped from the Black Stars, it inadvertently had an effect on his psyche and to prove himself, he left for lower tier teams in Europe. He also used Jerry Akaminko as a case study in how the FA ‘use and discard’ players in haste.

Renowned gospel musician who is noted for his monster hit ‘Baba’ said the FA should not waits for players to die before ‘putting on the show’.
This is what he posted;
Dear GFA @chris_atsu finally laid to rest. Let me just say this though… Let this be mindset reform and attitude change… I know our President @ghana_fa_official will do things differently
I heard in recent interviews people say that he was the Messi of Ghana… Well you guys removed him fast, while Messi is still playing the World Cup… Messi is 35 and Astu was 31…
Let’s learn how to make players feel important while they’re alive. We shouldn’t wait for something to happen to them before we take on their funeral expenses and all that.
We know that most of the players get injured during their international duties and it is not surprising that they end up losing their position, in their club teams and also in the national teams… That is why players like @thomaspartey5 would prefer to put their in the club instead of national teams…

@jakaminko was in his prime when he got injured playing for Ghana and suddenly everyone forgot about him… He ended up playing for a lower division Turkish team, who had to fight for the money they owed him…
Those teams from lower divisions in Turkey are called playing to survive and stay in shape.. the clubs know it and that’s why they let the players down
Heard the club’s tribute reading, he told the manager he either plays or goes to see his family…if only he could turn back time…it shows how committed he was to his career…champion, you died like a hero and you scored his last goal… he cannot be forgotten by the club… rest well… his sending off was beautiful
