SPONTANEOUS JUBILATION ALL OVER (PAGE 16, JUNE 28, 2010)

THE cerebration in Tamale was spontaneous as the final whistle for the end of proceedings was blown. People poured onto the streets draped in Ghana colours of Red, Gold and Green as they danced and sang praises to the gallant players for their marvellous performance.
Drivers joined in the merriment by putting on their heads lights amidst tooting of horns and waving of miniature Ghana Flags.
For once, the people were united in their celebrations. They hugged, danced and sang together. There were also processions of the youth on some principal streets of the metropolis. The celebrations continued deep into the night.
One of the female fans, Abiba Iddi who was draping with sweat said, “I have no words to describe the performance of the boys today. All what I can say is that, may Allah bless them for their untiring efforts because what they have done has succeeded in uniting us even if for temporal.”
Another fan, Biggy Sulley said, “there is every indication that our team can go far in this tournament if they eschew complacency, concentrate and play their hearts out like they exhibited in the rest of the matches.”
