Musician Sonnie Badu has called on Ghanaians to throw support behind the senior national team, the Black Stars.<\/p>\n

The musician, who is unhappy about the way the team is being treated after the World Cup fiasco, took to Twitter to make a case for the embattled nation team.<\/p>\n

In a series of tweets on Wednesday, he affirmed his support for the team and asked Ghanaians in general to rally behind the stars and support them in the African Cup of Nations qualifying games.<\/p>\n

Come on black stars !! You are still our pride!!<\/p>\n

The Black Stars campaign in Brazil was bedeviled by challenges, with the appearance fee row in the lead. Images and videos of Ghanaian players kissing and dancing after millions of dollars was flown to Brazil dominated international media headlines.<\/p>\n

The shameful events that occurred in Brazil have incurred the displeasure of many but Sonnie Badu believes that the players deserved every little penny of that amount. He however believes the players should apologize for the manner they handled the situation and move on to winning ways.<\/p>\n

That money was due to them!! They worked for it!! Yes the action might be wrong but no smoke without fire! U would do worse ..<\/p>\n

It’s not easy experiencing your own people wishing you won’t do well and then watching them boo u and cheer ur opponent in ur own home..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
