Some Ghanaians pray for Black Stars’ defeat after passage of E-levy

Some Ghanaians are praying for the defeat of the Black Stars in their match against Nigeria this evening.

According to users of social media, this is because of the passage of the controversial Electronic Transaction levy (E-levy) Bill. The bill was passed by a Majority-sided Parliament on Tuesday afternoon.

They say government’s decision to pass a Bill that many citizens have raised concerns about, on a day the Black Stars are going against Nigeria for the World Cup qualifier playoff, is insensitive.

We will all blame the E-Levy if Black Stars lose this evening right?

But some users say such a position is unfair as President Akufo-Addo does not own the Black Stars and the senior national team is not to blame for the passage of the Bill.

Use your head small. Do you think Black Star players have anything to do with E-levy?
