Ghana/ Nigeria: A High Mountain To Climb

The sterling performance of the Black Stars of Ghana in their last encounter with the Atlas Lions of Morocco, has geared up a lot of support for the team.

Omanyeonline in collaboration with a team of Ghana's favourite musicians is organising the biggest party to celebrate Ghana's qualification into the next round of the game dubbed "Stars for Stars Road Show".The concert which is to be held on the eve of the Quarter Finals match on Saturday, February 2 at the Fun Village opposite the Ohene Djan Stadium in Accra will explode in fireworks when music stars including Samini, Obrafuor, 4X4, Kontihene, Nana Quame, Tinny, Adez and many more come together to celebrate and raise funds for the next half of the tournament.

The official Blackstars cheer album, which features an alliance of music stars like Daddy Lumba, Samini and Obrafour, will be re-launched during the concert.

The album features songs like "Oseyie", "Come celebrate with the black stars", "Rii Oofu", and the ever popular "Go blackstars Go (ricemaster)"and many others.

The Stars for Stars concert will also give fans the opportunity to contribute to the Black Stars Campaign by texting the word "STARS" to shortcode 1443 on any cellular network and buy the official Black Stars cheer album while they enjoy a great show and good music.Officials of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports as well as the Local Organising Committee (LOC) and some Black Stars team mates are expected in attendance to ginger up their supporters and share their aspirations with them.

This, according to Samini "is to help raise the GHC 3,000,000 needed to secure the financial responsibilities of the Black Stars." He added that he was sure several fans would turn up for the show because, "I believe that like me, 22 million more Ghanaians still believe in the Black Stars and are ready to see their best."

Tickets for the Stars for Stars show are already available at Joy FM, Koala and the Osu Shell filling station. The Stars for Stars Road Show set off November 3, last year at the International Conference Center with a very exciting show of a host of talented musicians who rocked the house all night in support of the Black Stars and made a stop at Sekondi / Takoradi on January 22, this year.
