  GOLD SEIZURE...
  TYPE "1.5 Tons Of Gold Bound For Iran Seized on Plane In Turkey" VIDEO ON YOU TUBE
  GH IS ONE OF THE WORLDS TOP GOLD PRODUCERS. YET 25PERCENT OF ITS POPULATION LIVE UNDER 1 DOLLAR A DAY
  Today's gold price = 1658.22 US
  12 Troy Ounces in a pound x 3000? lbs.= 36,000 oz
  1.5 tons of gold is worth 36,000 oz x 1658.22 = 59,695,920 USD.
  MAHAMA, WHERE IS THE MONEY? MAHAMA IS INDIRECTLY HELPING IRAN DODGE ITS UN SANCTIONS. THE UN WONT BE HAPPY WITH GHANA OR MAHAMA
  IF IRAN HASNT ALREADY BEEN PAID FOR THIS GOLD. THEN DONT EXPECT THE UN/HAGUE TO GET INVOLVED IN THIS MATTER
  THAT MEANS, GH HAS LOST OUT ON ALL THIS MONEY....DUE TO OUR THE GARGANTUAN STUPIDITY OF OUR LEADERS, AGAIN....
  FOR THE RECORD, IRAN CONDUCTS A LOT OF BUSINESS WIH TURKEY IN THE FORM OF OIL AND GAS.
  SO WE NOW UNDERSTAND WHY TURKEY HAS POSITIONED THEMSELVES IN THIS GOLD SEIZURE ISSUE.
  NEARLLY $2 BILLION WORTH OF GOLD WAS SENT TO DUBAI BY IRAN. SUCH TRADES HELP IRAN ESCAPE UN/WESTERN SANCTIONS AGAINST
  IRAN. THESE SANCTIONS WERE IMPOSED BY THE UN OVER IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM. BY USING GOLD, IRAN CAN DODGE THESE SANCTIONS...
  SO WHY IS GH HELPING THEM. MAHAMA, WAT DO U HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURELF ABOUT THIS? YOU DEY TORCH?

  "After the seizure in Turkey, the Iranian Foreign Minister came to Ghana for a closed-door meeting with President Mahama on January 8, 2013.
  
  President Mahama’s next official assignment outside Africa was to Turkey. But that official trip and subsequent release of the gold-carrying aircraft has turned out to be coincidental and not an exercise for the release of the gold haul."
  
  
  Can anybody believe the above? This news came out on January 2nd, why did Mahama and his thieving surrogates wait till after he has gone to Turkey to get the gold released on his knees before denying not being involved?

  Tribal segmentation in Ghana is a big hinderance to our development.NDC and its Ewes have seen how this problem is helping win elections and loot our national treasury. They will continue to use tribal cards to divide Ghana and continue their frenzy looting from our treasury.
  
  It is very bad for our nation that John Mahama govern of four weeks old has started on scandal notes.It is going to be a bad music for the country if God does not intervene for Ghana.Womanizers are mostly unfaithful no matter what position they occupy in society.
  
  At times blame uneducated voters in Ghana.I am dreaming for the day when Ghana will chose a leader base on leadership qualities, but not on tribal thing.I hope Akans in NDC will not think of their selfish interest, but think of the general interest of Ghanaians and think very well that they are in wrong place. They should know that they will eat whatever they want to eat under NDC. Have they thought of the posterity? They should think very well.There is nothing Ghanaians can do to change Ewe mind set.Ghana is first, they should know. They can not collaborate with Ewes to destroy our Ghana.

  John Mahama's recent desperate dash to Turkey was all to do with this disgraceful gold scandal. Well, Ghanaians were warned about this dubious character now illegitimately occupying the presidential seat & pretending to be president.
  If there should be another "June 4th" so many of these crooks & criminals will surely be shot by firing squad. What is happening in Ghana today is so nauseating and makes the country very ripe for a "June 4th".
  John Mahama must NEVER be believed. He & his brother Ibrahim are crooks, swindlers, azaa, 419 experts and ruthless criminals.
  Till Ghanaians sit up and start mounting pressure on this illegitimate NDC to halt the emptying of our national coffers, there will be absolutely no money to undertake Nana Addo's free education programmes by the time the supreme court case is over.
  Mass action now (like in Egypt) to force these thieves to stop stealing our money, oil & gold.

  "I can confirm that the government of Ghana has not, has not shipped any gold neither has it transferred any gold,” he told several radio stations on Monday". quoted Mr. Jinapor own's word.
  
  How can 1.5 tonnes of Gold worth $80million shipped from Ghana's port and our government has no idea about it? Do we have individual Ghanaians who own such a large quantities of gold in their homes?
  
  I bet you the Ewes continue their frenzy looting of Ghana's treasury. This scandal portrays the nature of looting from Ghana's national tresury by NDC government. NPP and all other parties must work together to get to the bottom of this case. If our notorious govrnment by NDC knows anything about this, Mahama must be impeached and all those involved must be brought to justice. Ghanaians can not sit down unconcern for Ewes to destroy Ghana before our own eyes.
  
  How can we allow Iran, the devil's country to get our treasure like that. This investigation must be done by independence, not by NDC led government. Ghanaians, you must wake up. Other than that, one day you will wake up and Ewes have sold our dear country.

  Hmmm! NDC, they'll lie until thy Kingdom come. When the news broke out, they hurriedly organized a press release dis-owning the gold merchandise, thinking they could deceive everyone in the country. These days, thanks to the repealing of the criminal libel law, the president could have faced impeachment very long time ago.

  Ghanaians must not play roulette with this Gold stealing issue. It is a serious issue that can get a president impeached in any civilized country. Many shady deals like Wayome and Micheletti involving millions of dollars equal to the this amount of gold have been downplayed with propaganda and it is about time we get serious as a country to stop the politics and unravel this mistery.

  Trade in Turkish gold bars to Iran via Dubai is drying up as a growing number of banks and dealers refuse to buy the bullion to avoid the risks associated with Turkey's gold-for-gas trade with Iran.
  
  U.S. officials say they are concerned the trade between the two countries provides a financial lifeline to the Iran, which is largely frozen out of the global banking system by Western sanctions.
  
  
  The U.S. State Department said in December that diplomats were in talks with Ankara over the flow of gold to Iran after the Senate approved expanded sanctions on trade with Iran's energy and shipping sectors, which would also restrict trade in precious metals.
  
  That increasing U.S. pressure has already started to create troublesome repercussions for exporters of Turkish gold.
  
  Many dealers in Dubai's crowded and boisterous gold souk now refuse to take gold bars produced in Turkey. Some ask for a deep discount, saying their clients such as banks and other traders had suspended dealing with Turkish bullion over the past couple of months.
  
  The media spotlight on the gold-for-gas exchange has already helped push Turkey's gold exports to the UAE to $621 million in November from nearly $2 billion in August, according to the latest official trade data.
  
  Turkey, Iran's biggest natural gas customer, has been paying the Islamic Republic for oil and gas imports with Turkish liras, because Western sanctions prevent it from paying in dollars or euros. Iranians then buy gold in Turkey, and couriers carry the gold worth millions of dollars in their hand luggage to Dubai, where it can be sold for foreign currency or shipped to Iran.
  
  
  A Turkey-based industry source said the fact that Iranians are buying Turkish gold and shipping it via Dubai has worried international banks and traders and prompted them to suspend trading in Turkish gold bars.
  
  "This is not something declared. It has been going on very quietly for the past month. Some international banks have taken the lead in this and they are simply staying away from any gold bullion that is coming out of Turkey," he added.
  
  GLOBAL ISSUE FOR TURKISH GOLD
  
  A London-based spokesman for Standard Bank , which is active in Dubai's gold market, said it was not trading any Turkish-branded gold currently and had not regularly traded in Turkish bullion in the past.
  
  He said, however, that the bank continued to trade gold bars registered by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), whose Good Delivery List sets the quality standard for physical gold refining.
  
  Gold bars produced in Turkey's two refineries - Nadir Metal and Istanbul Gold Refinery - are both registered in LBMA's Good Delivery list.
  
  "In general we see a decline in the pace of demand from Dubai. After the latest U.S. sanctions, Turkish gold suppliers might have become more cautious too. The market is not as hectic as it was three months ago," an Istanbul-based gold trader said.
  
  Sources based in Dubai and Turkey said representatives from Turkey's jewellery makers visited Dubai Multi Commodities Center (DMCC), a government-run commodities platform, in December as part of efforts to disperse the clouds over the reputation of Turkish gold.
  
  The DMCC is a commodities platform that provides the infrastructure for the parties to trade and does not control who trades with whom.
  
  "This is not a Dubai-particular issue. It has started here due to the flows of Turkish gold, but this has now become a global issue around Turkish gold," said a source with knowledge of the discussions between DMCC and Turkish officials.
  
  The direct and indirect shipments of gold to Iran do not breach existing Western sanctions imposed over its disputed nuclear programme, but they help Tehran manage its finances.
  
  In Dubai, majority government-owned bank Emirates NBD
  
  , an active player in the local bullion market, said in a note to clients in November, "Emirates NBD will, as a pure measure of precaution, stop buying and selling all gold bars from Turkish refineries, even though they might be an accredited refinery by the London Good Delivery or by the Dubai Good Delivery List."
  
  A source in the Dubai office of major bullion dealer ScotiaMocatta, a division of Bank of Nova Scotia , said it was currently not dealing with Turkish gold bars.
  
  QUIET INVESTIGATION
  
  Turkey's gold bullion exports to the United Arab Emirates jumped in August as Turkish exporters re-routed gold destined for Iran to Dubai, following increasing pressure from the United States.
  
  Turkish ministers have acknowledged the "gold-for-gas" trade but say it is carried out entirely by the private sector and is not subject to U.S. sanctions.
  
  "We do not feel legally bound by any unilateral sanctions by any country, except if they are endorsed by the U.N. Security Council under Chapter 7," a Turkish government official said.
  
  "We have a huge (natural gas) consumption requirement from within Turkey ... On the gold issue ... If they (Iranians) go to the market, we cannot prevent them. If they buy gold here and send it somewhere else, that is up to them ... It is not government or government agencies selling gold."
  
  In Dubai, the government has also increased pressure on traders, forcing them to be cautious about taking Turkish gold, several industry sources said.
  
  "We also know that the local government have their eyes on this. They have the news and they are collecting information; they are also doing a back-door investigation," said a Dubai-based gold industry source, who requested anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the issue.
  
  "If they get to the conclusion that something is really going wrong, maybe they will investigate a few companies. But it will all be done secretly, so if that's proven they will not harm the reputation of the companies," he added.
