The role of ball boy for the Black Stars has been confirmed as one of the highest paying jobs in the country after the Dzamefe Commission reported that a certain Ismail Hamidu was paid $100,000 for catching a few stray footballs over a period of less than 3 weeks.

A man in his mid twenties has quit his banking job to embark on a quest to become a professional ball boy for the Black Stars.

The man admitted that his decision to become a ball boy for the senior national team was solely motivated by the huge financial rewards the job offers. “It’s not often you get a high paying hassle-free job, so when I heard the ball boy for the national team earned a gargantuan $100,000 at the World Cup, I didn’t think twice about quitting my job to concentrate on becoming the next Black Stars’ ball boy.”

In a related development, career advice officers across several universities in the country have reported a sharp rise in the number of students wishing to take up careers as professional ball boys.
