Ghana is still buzzing with excitement after the Black Stars delivered a commanding 5-0 victory over Chad in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Yet, amid the nationwide celebrations, popular comedian Derick Kobina Bonney, better known as DKB, has stepped forward with a surprising confession and a heartfelt apology.
In a candid post on his X account dated March 21, 2025, DKB revealed that his frustration with the former New Patriotic Party (NPP) government had once driven him to an extreme act: praying against the national football team. The comedian admitted that his bitterness stemmed from what he saw as the administration’s neglect of ordinary Ghanaians. He had hoped to deny them any sporting glory they could claim as their own.
“I was so fed up with the previous government that I found myself fervently wishing the Black Stars wouldn’t qualify for the African Cup,” he wrote. “I didn’t want them to have a single football triumph to crow about. Sorry, team—the ache in my heart was just too much. If you don’t care about us, why should you get the honor?”
DKB’s apology strikes a personal chord, reflecting the deep emotions that politics can stir even in the world of sports. His words offer a glimpse into how strongly he felt let down by the leadership at the time.
Meanwhile, the Black Stars are riding high on their recent triumph. Fresh off their decisive win against Chad, the team is now gearing up for their next challenge. On March 24, 2025, they’ll head to Morocco to take on Madagascar in what promises to be another thrilling showdown.
For now, DKB’s admission has sparked conversations across Ghana, blending humor, regret, and national pride into the ongoing football fever. As the Black Stars march forward, it seems even their once-doubtful supporters are ready to rally behind them again.
