So what if it sours our relationship with our 'French' neighbours? Nigeria and Cameroun ended up at international arbitration. It didn't bring about the end of the world! Wo te puupuu a, wo bi di!

If the current leadership of the CDI puts a premium on good neighbourgliness, then should we be getting this 'cat-dance' from them? And it is not as though Campore[Bukinabes] sees eye to eye with 'baby' Eyadema[Togolese];or that the Congolese on both sides of the River Congo,are the best of friends!
What worries me a great deal is the 'strange' positions which have been taken by some of our so-called experts in the area of Peace and International Relations! As the Akan saying goes:"Wobe y3 nyunu a y3 nyunu,wobey3 hye nsoa y3 hye"! This lukewarm posture,or 'I-told-you-so' attitude is not going to inure to the benefit of any particular group in this country!
While serious-minded person will advocate a wholesale jumping on the bandwagon,the least one can expect from these knowlegeable persons,is for them to take the time to lay out,and these steps the govt has taken so far, to bring a peaceful and amicable resolution to this maritime 'dispute',like Omane Boamah did this morning on NhyiraFM`s Kuro Yi Mu Ns3m Show. I would also wish the AG and her team,would concentrate on crossing the 'Ts' and dotting the 'Is',rather thangranting 'meaningless' interviews,raising expectations that may come back to haunt her and this administration. For the life of me, I am at a loss to explain why certain people,especially politicians and lawyers,cannot resist the temptation of talking to the media about sensitive matters such as we have on our hands now! And I sure hope that pertinent dossiers which mysteriously vanished from our state archives, will not come back to 'bite' us.
Recall the Akoto Osei 'Wahala' in one of the arbitration cases not too long ago? I rest my case.

In academic discourse you look at cases and analysis it objectively. If you don't want to hear the truth don't call Aning. He will put it on the table for you. Such things can keep you thinking so you do your homework well.

Stop this debate on air and allow only the experts to prepare our case for the court. Yes super power politics can influence the case and obviously France is leading the case for Cote D' Ivoire . We also need a super power strategic partner to balance out. The case can drag for years even with a good case.

There are many fields where Ghana lacks the needed expertise. To solve this problem the government of Ghana has over the decades made scholarships available for the needed human resource to be trained abroad. In some cases so many people were sent and not even one returned. If you know you are not prepared to work and live in Ghana and would therefore not return do not take the scholarships.
The Takoradi Poly Students who were sacked for applying with fake certificates must be prosecuted in a court of competent jurisdiction. Just sacking them is not enough.
Nowadays businesses and government organisations have stopped demanding Secondary School Certificate or Basic Education Certificate.
Each of these certificates are important. For example for many tertiary graduates the only certificate that can tell whether one can speak good English or whether one has adequate knowledge of Mathematics is the Secondary School Certificate.
Similarly the only certificate that can tell whether a tertiary graduate has basic knowledge of Ghanaian history, culture, agriculture and the basic geography of West Africa is the Basic Education Certificate.

Has the NDc government ever won a case? The closest you came was when you conspired to mislead elder people who we thought were wise: Afari Gyan Atuguba etc. If you know how to win cases why then the numerous judgement debts. Was Okujeto Ablakwa not party to ISOFOTON case? Who in NDC is the credible and smart one to defend Ghana internationally? Meanwhile the president is relaxed in the US, listening to nothing and only twitting. After all we don't know where the oil money is going so lose or no lose, is left to the evil dwarfs

These type of people should be far away from the government because they don't even love their country.

I agree with you completely that Dr Anning's statement is outrageous. Ghana has never severed ties with the British; we are still key players in the Commonwealth and continue good relations with our colonial masters. Merely gaining independence does not amount to severing relations. He does not know what he is talking about!

In any case saying the matter may go either way does not mean Ghana is certain to lose. This is the time to assemble our crack International Maritime lawyers ready for our defense and certainly not time for insults.

Who are these so called experts!! Ghana should be looking for support from the UK government, it is in our interest to ensure we have support. This matter is not solely a legal matter but one of international relations. Just because the UK is no longer our colonial masters does not mean they do not exert a level of influence during such disputes, They have an invested interest as tullow Oil is a uk incorporated business who have invested heavily in the jubillee fields and on oil and gas exploration. The CEO of Tullow Oil is a close friend of a the UK chancellor too
too many empty experts in Ghana
