Ghanaian hiplife musician, Dadie Opanka has urged the government to invest heavily in lesser known sports.
With no doubt, Ghana has many talents in lesser known sports but always struggle to make an impact in the country due to the lack of financial support.
Many Ghanaian have called on the government and other corporates institutions to help in the development of lesser known sports.
It has become very obvious that every government is interested taking care of the Black Stars but Opanka however believes government must also help in the development in the lesser known sports.
Speaking on Ladies Times Show on Asempa FM as the adorable man of the week he said, “I was playing table tennis when I was in school.
“I stopped playing table tennis because there was nobody supporting me. “I stopped playing the table tennis because there was nobody supporting me. I think the government must support the lesser known sports because they are also doing well.
“We all see them when they go to Olympics Games so with the government support, I believe we can do well in the lesser known sports as well.
Quizzed if he sees anything wrong with the Black Stars winning bonuses, he said, “I don’t see anything wrong with the money that is being given to the Black Stars players.
“If we don’t give them that money for playing for the country, our leaders will not use that money to develop our country so.
“If the players are playing for the country and they are being paid that amount of money I see nothing wrong with that.” He added.
Ladies Time is Asempa FM every Saturdays from 12:30 to 1:30 pm.
