Imagine Juliet Ibrahim in the number 7 jersey taking a free kick which is entering the goal posts of Jackie Appiah who is in tight gloves and with a slight body movement ready to dive to the direction of Juliet Ibrahim’s shot. This free kick was caused by Nana Aba Anamoah, who has received a yellow card for bad tackle on Martha Ankomah. Yvonne Nelson approaches the referee to argue for an excessive punishment as the yellow card is Nana Aba’s second in the tournament which will cause her to miss the next match. Eazzy and Akosua Agyapong looks on from behind so worried because the next match which will is scheduled to meet Becca and Efya’s team is so tough that Nana Aba Anamoah’s strikes will see them to the finals.
This is an epitome of what to expect on May 1 2012 at the EL Walk stadium in Accra as Juliet Ibrahim Safo, the wife of Ghana’s youngest pilot embark on the all female celebrity games. This game is to support Richard, a young 15 year old boy who needs kidney transplant as well as raise money for her foundation.
The ‘Mother Theresa’ of Ghana, Juliet Ibrahim, whose foundation echoes to the world the existence, symptoms and dangers of kidney cancer has extended overwhelming helping hand to many who have undergone surgery to have kidney transplants. Earlier on, Mrs. Safo had educated this reporter extensively about kidney cancer in an interview.
Juliet Ibrahim birth the foundation idea when two people in her family had Kidney problems. “This is very serious and is not something that you just have to look at. It is very expensive and crazy” she said to herself when she witnessed the unbelievable dangers associated with it. “It is not something that just affect the white people or we can say it doesn’t affect us in Africa, they happen” she added.
“The common cause is smoking, obesity (which is very common in Africa) and diabetes” Dr. Juliet Ibrahim Safo emphasized. “So when I found out, I contacted my mum that we should do something about it because this is something that we are looking at today but it can be very serious in the country if we do not create awareness” a prove to my description of Juliet Ibrahim as Mother Theresa of Ghana is in this statement.
Since 1st May is recognized as a national holiday in Ghana, there will be no where to release all those work or educational stress than at the El Wak stadium to support Juliet Ibrahim and all the female celebrities who will prove their criticisms on footballers worthwhile.
The global brand, Nike, takes sponsorship of the event which begins at 2:00PM and with a ticket price of GH20 for ordinary and GH40 for VIP. Come and witness the female celebrities in their Nike football boots and jerseys.
