The former British diplomat to Ghana has taken a swipe at the Caf vice president after he said the European country want to learn player registration from Ghana
Former British High Commissioner to Ghana Jon Benjamin has thrown shades at Ghana Football Association president Kwesi Nyantakyi, after the latter said on Monday that English and Scottish FA want to learn how smooth player registration has been done in the West African country after being praised constantly by Fifa.
However, Benjamin, who spent close to three years in the country and got familiar with how Ghanaians register football players, suggests that maybe Nyantakyi wants to teach the Europeans how to have two separate ages -one in real life and one for playing football
Perhaps they want to learn why Kwesi Nyantakyi never ultimately took legal action against UK media outlets that implicated him in match fixing allegations, as he swore he would?
Or perhaps to learn about how the concept of someone’s ‘football age’ differs from their real age? https://t.co/T9nIj9ikCs

The diplomat jokingly revealed that his football age per the Ghanaian ways of doing things is 23 years despite recently turning 55 years of age.
No, it is not a problem here.
If birth records are reliable and any local phenomenon of corruptly falsified personal data is clamped down on, then this problem shouldn't be able to occur.
For the record, I recently turned 55 but my 'football age' is still only 23. https://t.co/zVRzBZCoro
