Somebody tell Outarra and his envious crooks that the oil sits in Ghana territorial waters. Is he Blind?! That shoreline is Ghana's territory and the waters is Ghana's territorial waters. This is what the UN law says. Outarra should stop disgracing himself. We must warned him that Ghana is not Gbabo.

I think Ouattara is a robot of the Boigny years. He hasn't forgotten how Felix Houphouet-Boigny wanted to annex those oilfields and ended up stopped by Jerry Rawlings who sent the naval force to occupy the fields. Ivory Coast would have been drilling off those fields since the beginning of '80s.

In retrospect, the Burkinabe is helped to the presidential by his friend the greedy Sarkozy partly because of those oilfields.

This boundaries were determined and agreed by our respective colonial masters and I don't see how ivory coast can be making claims now that Ghana relentlessly spent money by the Kufour government to discover the he oil.it didn't just started today so they should look elsewhere because we re ready for them.I just think the current NDC government ll put their best foot forward in terms of legal representation and not rely on empty lawyers who procure judgment and go raising their shoulders afterwards.This is a national matter and they should include Npp lawyers who ve proven to be on top of issues when it comes to the law.

God is no more interested to support in our affairs as a nation in this oil cause because of too much greed on part of our leaders, if the Country cherishes her citizens and put the first oil revenue to good use for them, we would have won but tweaa it will certainly go, so that tullow oil(the cheats) will not have the chance to amass wealth to the detriment of the local Gh because of bad and useless governance.

All things are falling apart, why? The spiritual fathers should inquire of God and speak to the politicians in the face as the prophets of old did because God will not hide it from them if they find out and will give them the confidence to speak cos we are suffering it, all of us Gh including our heartless leaders, If even Gh loses, Cote d'ivoire will put the oil revenue to judicious use for her valued citizens, our brother Africans so what?
