  GALAMSAY IN GH
  :foolish ghanas, have you forgot who is feed you"? THIS IS WAT A CHINESEMAN POSTED ON GHWEB RESPONSE TO GALAMSAY ISSUES IN GH.
  HE CLAIMMED THAT THE BILLIONS IN LOANS CHINA GAVE GH NECCESITATED GALAMSAY AS PART OF THE DEAL. WELL, I DIGRESS.
  "Necessity is the mother of invention."
  -Plato
  While the Great Horse Manure Crisis of 1894 created one impetus to find another form of transportation, over a century later we find ourselves in a similar situation with the car.
  Runoff from oil and exhaust contribute to 13 percent of all river contamination and some scientists predict that with current oil production levels, the finite resource that fuels
  our cars could be depleted by 2055.
  These are chemical companies that make the lithium carbonate. (the producers of lithium)
  Its lithium-brine reserves. lithium carbonate equivalen (LCE) production. The real drivers of growth are lithium-ion batteries.
  FOLKS,JUST GOOGLE THIS: The Great Horse Manure Crisis of 1894. THEN U WILL KNOW WHY THE CHINESE ARE IN GH DOING GALAMSAY. BYE BYE TO OIL BY 2055.
  electric vehicles are an option, but lithium-ion batteries also serve other technologies, such as hybrid-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles.
  Pure electric vehicle batteries can be plugged into a home's electricity for charging; batteries for hybrid-electric vehicles can also be used while the engine is running.
  So it is not just an external source of electricity. We have also to consider that automakers are researching other technologies as well, and they have made important progress
  on the efficiency of internal combustion engines, for example. I believe that in the future we will see a mix of different technologies coexisting.
  Yes, you have to generate the electricity, but if you consider the impact of CO2 emissions, you will conclude that electric vehicles are the best option compared with other current-available technologies.
  GH IMPORTS PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING FROM CHINA. EVERYTHING FROM RICE, CHICKEN, UNDEWEAR TO EVEN TOOTHPICKS IS IMPORTED FROM CHINA...
  ASK MAHAMA WHERE THE BILLIONS IN CHINA LOANS CAME FROM? THESE ARE THE MONIES IN OUR BANKS
  IN EXCHANGE, CHINA HAS TO MINE FOR RESOURCES, DEVELOPE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE....
  DO U THINK THIS IS A GOOD TRADE OFF? I DONT THINK IT IS. BLAME THOSE IN POSITIONS OF POWER WHO WENT FOR THE EASY BUCK
  INSTEAD OF SACRIFICING FOR THE FUTURE.
  SEIZE ALL THEIR MACHINERY N SELL THEM. USE THE MONEY TO EMPOWER, REWARD THE POLICE OFFICERS. JAIL THESE CHINESE, NO BAIL.
  THEY HVE TO SERVE THEIR SENTENCE, THEN DEPORT THEM. THE GHFUO WHO WORKED WIKTH THEM MUST BE JAILED 10YRS EACH.
  GALAMSAY MUST END IN GH. DESTROYING OUR LANDS. LEADING TO FLOODS. DEATH N DESTRUCTION
  stretches of real estate in the world, endowed with an abundance of vast mineral deposits, such as coltan and cobalt, which are key to the
  functioning of modern-day capitalist society, from laptops to cell phones to cameras and jet engines.
  Coltan is just one of several expensive and rare minerals abundant in Africa, but coltan is NOT ONLY available in the congo alone,
  which makes it extremely valuable.
  local residents mostly young children are explloited n forced to dig tiny amounts of these “conflict minerals” from the soil in inhuman conditions,
  often with their bare hands.
  When you hear about such extreme exploitation, you can be pretty sure that some folks are making a hell of a lot of money.
  In this case, it’s western corporations like Nokia, Motorola, Compaq, Dell, IBM, Sony and many more who rely on extremely cheap capacitors
  from their electronics companies, to make them profits from our Christmas presents. These companies have thus far avoided scrutiny by
  outsourcing the more direct business of extracting the minerals to smaller chinese companies. THEREFORE, GH GOVT MUST CUT OUT THE CHINESE MIDDLEMEN
  N USE LOCAL MANPOWER. JOBS. GIVE THE GALAMSAY JOBS TO GHFUOR!
  The operators, with many foreign nationals involved, are not only destroying the environment with their activities, but are also denying the
  country of the revenues that accrue to the state from the legal activities of mining companies that pay taxes to the government.
  the pressing immediate problems confronting the countRY GHANA ARE - GALAMSAY EVERYWHERE, no electricity, no water, rife in corruption, high incompetence levels, etc.
  At the moment JOHN MAHAMA has NOT articulated any vision for the country and his governance. Ghanaians don't know what he stands for except his mere promises and lies.
  For sustainable socio-economic development Ghana needs ACCOUNTABLE GOVERNANCE not mere promises without action as characterised BY MAHAMA'S "leadership".
  IN ARGENTINA, representatives of 33 indigenous communities living in the Northern Argentinian provinces of Jujuy and Salta turned to the Supreme Court to claim their right
  to be consulted for exploration and development of lithium projects. This move comes following last year's declaration by the governor of Jujuy Province that lithium is a
  strategic mineral under Decreto 7592/11, asserting that all present and future lithium projects must be studied by a special expert commission before being approved by local
  and national authorities. CUT OUT THE CHINESE MIDDLEMEN.

  This illigal source of mining must be stopped, for it would not help the nation in any way. it would rither open us to the doors of sickness and other things. Look at Nigeria, which has been exposed to the out brake of Lead in one of their states killing women and childrean every day . Now the government has to spend millions of dollars to combate this out brake. Is this what Ghana wants? is this the place we want to be? oh! what a shame? why cant the Government encourage large scale mining in these communities, so that supsicated tecnologies would be used, the limit these deseases and exposure to lead etc. and than subsidise these communities with the bulky money that it gets. I believe its better this way than allowing individuals to use crude methods to look fo this so call GOLD which enventuall expose the nation the epidemic.
  These are some of the things that our laws makers need to think about and stop looking for pay increments all the time.
