<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Consider a world in which the England kit man is paid as big an appearance fee as Wayne Rooney, Joe Hart or Raheem Sterling.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tough to imagine? Not so if you worked for Ghana's Football Association at the 2014 World Cup where their "equipment officer" earned $100,000 (£64,000).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a 396-page report which investigates the Black Stars' first-round exit in Brazil, payment for a role also defined as "ball boy" is highlighted.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ismail Hamidu was the lucky recipient of a sum equal to that earned by individual players, doctors, coaches and manager James Kwesi Appiah.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The report also found a fee of $5,263 (£3,345) was paid to Ghana's official drummer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His beat was not enough to help the team beat Portugal in their final group fixture to reach the second round, a match which followed the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28021131">country's FA flying $3m</a> out to South America to settle a pay dispute with players.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Two sentences in the Dzamefe Report that perhaps sum up the frustrations and difficulties of Ghana's World Cup campaign are:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li>The government's decision to pay $100,000 to each of their 23 players "reduced the tension"</li>
<li>"The players however insisted on being paid in cash and this reignited the tension"</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The report aims to unpick myriad financial issues surrounding Ghana's World Cup campaign, including some payments which could not be verified or accounted for.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The African side received $8m (£5m) for their group-stage exit, but spent almost $4m more than that on their campaign from the beginning of qualifying.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Dzamefe Report took four months to compile this year and aims to highlight Ghana's shortcomings at the Brazil World Cup.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The House of  Representatives sitting today, June 25, has been disrupted by a group of lawmakers who tried to take away the mace of the House.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lawmakers loyal to the Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, have, however, formed a shield around the speaker and protect the mace from being taken away.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some of the members loyal to Dogara have also been chanting the speaker’s name in support of his leadership.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The house is currently at a stand still as members are standing at various corners of the lower chamber as proceedings can’t go on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The ongoing brawl is happening in the presence of some secondary school students who are on excursion to the National Assembly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Honourable Femi Gbajabiamila, who contested the seat with the speaker, made his way to the speaker’s seat to confer with him on the situation. Also sighted was the former majority leader of the house, Honourable Leo Ogor.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sanity was, however, restored after the rowdy session. Speaker Dogara then reconvened plenary and urged members to count themselves lucky to be chosen to represent their constituency out of 170 million Nigerians. He then adjourned the House till July 21, 2015, while pledging that the crisis will be resolved soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The event is beamed live on national television.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
