But its better to get 10% of something than the 0% nothing. Oil in the ground is worthless until its extracted just like the gold. You agree on a deal, let the foreign investors come and invest, promiss them low taxes and high returns. once you see how much money they make, you feel cheated but dont forget there were no value there before they came and invested billions of dollars! Without these big companies, Ghana would make 0% and the gold and oil would stay in the ground forever... maybe that would have been better.

I am not against workers agitating for wage increase but sometimes we have to be fair with the expertrates.they have left their families and travelled to Ghana and some of them were paid in dollars in their home countries so we should not expect them to receive same since the moneys remmitted to their home countries may be in dollars. Thank you.

The unions don't create jobs. They feed off workers contributions so workers need to watch them carefully n closely.
