Reactions to Sarkodie's Rapperholic pitch-maintenance plan
YEN.com.gh gathered a few comments from social media users.
@kofiwest_gh said:
"If we get 10 people just like you for this country, walaayi, this country will prosper. You’re just a perfectionist 💯 my King for life."
@nnosolution remarked:
"What's the point of doing a concert at a stadium if you won't fill the whole place, please?"
@UwerLostUntilMe shared:
"Come on, bro, that's more than half of the stadium cut off, are you underestimating the numbers that're gonna turn up?"
@1BongoIdeas commented:
"It is still on the pitch. Would the fans be standing in the air? More structures at the stadium would be damaged, not only the pitch, which is why it gotta be stopped NOW!"
@ishmael_idriss commented:
"It’s disheartening to see Ghanaians often focusing on negativity online. We tend to realize our mistakes only when neighboring countries are thriving. It’s rare to see influential figures like Sarkodie, Shatta Wale, or Stonebwoy concern with positive backup!"
@Qweisyphynext7 commented
"Obidi adey beg make the security tight during, before and after the show, else most of us will go home without our phones, or better still, make the show last till the next morning. I’ve stayed in Amakom before and ik what can happen. I hope you see this."
