Nyantakyi Never Paid Me For My Black Stars Campaign Songs – Grace Ashie

One musician who has always been very supportive of the Ghana Black Stars teams over the years is Gospel Musician, Grace Ashie.

She has on several occasions composed various campaign songs for the team.

Some of which include CAN 2008 and World Cup 2014, both under the leadership of the embattled GFA President, Kwesi Nyantakyi.

One would however think that sll this while, she’s being paid for the songs.

But the Gospel musician has revealed that she was not paid a pesewa for the songs she composed for the Black Stars.

Grace Ashie, who is popularly called Obaa Yaa, was speaking in an interview with Mr. Handsome on GH Entertainment on Rainbow Radio 87.5 FM.

According to her, she used her own finances to produce all her campaign songs. She also added that she even hard to pay for travel expenses to support the national team during their participation at the previous world games.

The musician further expressed her happiness at the exposé by Anas Aremeyaw Anas, which she described as sad, disgraceful and disgusting.

“I was not scared about the Anas exposé because since 2006 till now, Kwesi Nyantakyi never paid me a coin for any of the songs I produced for the national team. I am daring the former GFA boss to deny or confirm my claims. The GFA did not pay me a penny. I always gave him my songs, he will play the songs but he will not pay me. He will only commend my efforts but never gave me a pesewa,” she said.

“The GFA never paid for any of my travel expenses. You can call him and find out for yourself. I was never paid. I was always going to the GFA but I was never paid a penny,” she added.

She however revealed that ‘’my love for the nation and her patriotic act led me to compose these songs’’despite not being paid.

Obaa Yaa further disclosed that, she used her own resources to pay all those she contracted to support her in the songs she composed.

She has also demanded for an audit into the activities of the GFA. This, according to her, is because she believes they budgeted for what she did but never received a pesewa from GFA.

The GFA president, Kwesi Nyantakyi was not exempted from this video as he played a major part.

Many have since been criticising the GFA president and other officials who were caught culpable in the video.

Meanwhile, Kwesi Nyantakyi has finally spoken about the video which he has referred to as ‘copy and paste’ and ‘defamation’.

#Number12: Captain Smart Shocks Everyone, Says Nyantakyie Did Nothing Wrong(Video)

Suspended radio presenter with Adom FM, Captain Smart has made the most shocking comment about Kwesi Nyantakyi in Anas’ Number 12 video.

According to Captain Smart, he doesn’t see anything wrong with the role Kwesi Nyantakyi played in the famous Number 12 exposé.

As a result, the embattled GFA President might end up a free man soon.

Captain Smart’s comments have have shocked many Ghanaians because, he is believed to be a strong anti-corruption fighter.

He further stated that Nyantakyi was only enticing the ‘supposed’ investors to come and do business in the country.

The controversial host made these comments yesterday in an interview on TV Africa’s Breakfast Live with Nikki Samonas.

“I am not a lawyer but the man says that come and do business when you’re coming to bring this and we will give it to this person or that person. You should know that he didn’t implicate anybody from what I saw, he just said something that could entice somebody to come and do business.”He said.

He however added that, the only thing that compromises Kwesi Nyantakyi was where he promised to pay a certain amount of monies. Which(according to Nyantakyi) would be through his company in the circumstance of an impending sponsorship for the Ghana Premier League.

“The only problem I had with Kwesi was when he said, we will establish a company and you will pay the monies through my company and between 20%-25%, we will share so that there will be peace. What kind of peace is he talking about? Is it the corruptible peace or what type of peace? Again that the money will be paid through his private company which is a conflict of interest.” He added.

Eddie Doku has dismissed the claims and has threatened legal action upon return from Iceland. This he said will commence upon his return from Iceland where he is supervising the Black Stars’ friendly game against the Strákarnir okkar.

Here is the full statement:

Good Morning all. I normally do not encourage anything like this on this platform. But please allow me this once.

I am with the Black Stars in Iceland and received a video clip of myself in the Anas series receiving money in the open in front of the RFA office.

Please, it is not true what the caption says, that I am being bribed to influence the selection of Patrick Razak into the Black Stars B.

I am simply telling you, who serves as chairman, the truth is that I was not taking a bribe as the video seeks to portray. My lawyers are taking the matter up. I shall be back on Saturday, God willing. At least I owe you this.

GFA Breaks Silence On Anas’ #Number12

The first screening of Anas’ Number 12 yesterday in Accra has indeed generated a lot of tensions.

Officials caught on tape taking bribe are in ‘hot soup’. Ghanaians have also reacted to the video in diverse ways.

The Ghana Football Association(GFA), which is currently the center of attention in the country have also reacted to the video.

The GFA has taken to its official website to react to the premiering of the work of Anas Aremeyaw.

Anas’ latest exposé dubbed #Number12 captures many of its official were seen taking bribes.

The football gorverning body has requested Tiger Eye to;

“as a matter of urgency” furnish them with all recorded materials on the documentary to enable them forward

“it to the appropriate quarters for further investigations”.

The GFA has also asked “the football fraternity to remain calm and provide us with all the support we need as we bid to restore confidence and trust in our beautiful game”.

Below is the full reaction as published by the GFA:

The Ghana Football Association (GFA)’s attention has been drawn to the airing of a documentary by Tiger Eye PI alleging acts of corruption by some match officials and senior officials of the federation.

The GFA was not provided with an opportunity to watch the premiering of the documentary as it was neither provided with an advanced copy of the said documentary nor furnished with tickets by Tiger Eye PI to watch the airing.

Though the GFA did not commission Tiger Eye PI to undertake this exercise and have not been provided with the opportunity of watching the documentary, we view the allegations circulating in the media very seriously and would wish to take immediate steps to address them.

To this end we believe its only fair and proper that Tiger Eye furnishes us with the said documentary and hereby request Tiger Eye as a matter of urgency to furnish us with all the recorded material on this documentary to enable us forward it to the appropriate quarters for further investigations.

The GFA wishes to emphasise that it is an association incorporated under the laws of Ghana and as such governed by the laws of Ghana as well as its own Rules and Regulations. It is also affiliated to CAF and FIFA.

The GFA wishes to place on record that, there will be no attempt of a cover-up or shield any of our members caught in alleged acts of corruption.

The GFA wishes to assure all that as an institution it does not condone any manner of corrupt practices.

We wish to put on record that eight months ago, we got evidence of some external influences seeking to manipulate matches in our various competitions.

As soon as it became clear to us that we were facing the possibility of some external influences seeking to destroy the sanctity of the game in Ghana, we wrote to FIFA seeking assistance to help combat this menace.

The action we took was in furtherance of the GFA’s desire to fight against match manipulation and maintain the integrity of our game and federation.

We received a full FIFA response few days later, with an action plan on how we can fight the menace of match manipulation through a roadmap for the implementation of the national integrity initiative.

We are still working with FIFA Integrity Department to find the appropriate dates for the action to help educate our members on the dangers of this menace.

The GFA will subsequently be undertaking a holistic review and continue with our reforms geared towards the enhancement of its operations in dealing with alleged acts of corruption in the game.

We urge the football fraternity to remain calm and provide us with all the support we need as we bid to restore confidence and trust in our beautiful game.

We ask anyone with information about these allegations to get in touch with us through: [email protected]
