To be greedy is to be an idiot. Cheat the rest who make the bulk of a country by thinking of oneself alone.

A recipe of chaos,

Very regrettable.

they used to live in Switzerland and Houston. Tsikata just connived with the foreign looters and we could never find oil during his time.

When Boris Yelsin sold out Russian oil fields to BP,Shell,Chevron and other Western firms in 1990s,he was branded a liberal and making Russia democratic.Vladimir Putin drove them away and bought back the fields and he is called a dictator and Russia is being referred to as not being free.I am citing these examples to show you how bold leadership is,Black Africans just do not have good leaders to manage their people & resources.The Western world would continue to manipulate us and steal our resources.

We are living in a vicious cicle in Ghana.Because majority of our folks are so poor,they have sold their principles,therefore politicians are having a feld day,they buy votes come to power and pay for the votes with the money coming from the taxpayer.At the end of the day there is nothing left for devolopement.So they increase taxes,the only people who benefit from this circle are the politicians and their cronis.
The four years a party will be in power,like now with the NDC,folks become so poor and desperate,they forget about the hardship Governments put them through when they are in power,then comes elections,so once again they are prepared to sell their votes for a little money which can relieve them,say for a day or two.The party wins and come to power,then the whole process starts from the begining,tax increases,hardships,no progress,yet poeple in power keep on getting fatter and fatter and richer for the next four years,and then..........the vicious circle starts again.

Why not resolve this issue the usual Ghanaian way, call on the masses, go to church and pray for all our problems to just disappear.
This has been the norm for who knows how long.
I think it is about time someone else took a broom and did a clean sweep from North to South, June 4th,1979 and December,31st 1981 rings a bell?
The first guy who did both, started well but ended bad, anyone dare to start and keep it going?

The EO group and the backers must thank Atta-Mills for not probing further this deal. I believe other new finds must not follow the rotten genesis of the first major find

This is another timely focus on the emerging multi-billion $$$s oil industry in Ghana. The vast majority of even the [mis]educated Ghanaians, including PhD holders, are simply clueless about the sector. They are therefore unable to come to any informed judgement on what is no doubt the ongoing brutal rape being perpetrated on Ghana. Ghana is losing billions as we speak. Follow this link to read all about it.

At the moment, the FOCs have more lobby groups working for them to continue with the exploitative royalty system than those asking for a fair, equitable deal for Ghanaians. Yes, with that system, the FOCs can afford to set aside $1bn and buy every MP, Ministers and all key gate-keepers at GNPC for a song! Yes, $1mn each is just peanuts for them! And it is what should have come to all Ghanaians, not only a few.

We are doomed!

?EU fear of GM food from US hampers historic trade deal
March 13, 2014 00:10

Reuters / David Mdzinarishvili
An ‘enormous gulf’ has been exposed between the EU and the US through Europe’s reluctance to buy hormone meat or GM food from the US. Industry and labor groups voiced concern to EU and US negotiators that the globe’s biggest trade pact was under threat.
“There is an enormous gulf between the EU and US positions,” said Michael Dolan, a lobbyist for the US Teamsters Union at the fourth round of trade talks between the EU and US in Brussels on Wednesday.
The talks marked an unusual occasion, being the first time that lobbyists were received, and additionally marking the first time that the forum allowed reporters inside.
Those involved in negotiating a pact have expressed a desire to finalize a deal before the end of the year. Eight months of talks have already passed. However, tensions which have underscored trade talks worldwide have been a drawback, and continued low public support for the deal has exacerbated tensions over food.
Despite this, its supporters say the deal would lead to some $100 billion per year in growth on both sides, and the EU says that ‘Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership’ (TTIP) is under threat from protesters it deems ‘anti-globalization’.
In 2012, the EU exported $16.6 billion in farm produce to the US, while US farmers delivered $9.9 billion to Europe. The gap was largely blamed on the EU ban on GM food imports.
“Our trade could be way bigger,” Douglas Nelson, a CropLife America adviser told Reuters. “The TTIP is a way to normalize trade with the European Union.”
However, EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht frequently reasserts that there will be no changes to the EU regulation of GM food even if an agreement is reached with the US.
The EU is also closed to US beef from cattle raised with growth hormones.
On March 10, the UK’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) secretary, Owen Paterson, added his backing to an EU proposal that may prompt the fast-tracking of GM crops for commercial cultivation in the country.
Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, GM Freeze, the Soil Association and GeneWatch UK added their signatures to a letter to UK Prime Minister David Cameron condemning the plans.
GeneWatch UK director, Helen Wallace, stated that Monsanto and other GM companies were “desperate to push their GM crops into other countries before the devastating impacts on wildlife and farming destroy existing markets,” according to local publication Farmers Weekly.
