NDC propaganda machinery tell us all Ghanaians are corrupt and born so but i beg to differ.When we take tro tro or a taxi there is no ndc foot soldier there to try make us pay a bribe before we can get in ,when i go and buy kenkey or even roasted plantain kofi brokeman there is no need to bribe anyone , no one needs to bribe the farmer,fisherman,market woman, teachers or private businessmen to do their jobs or render services.The moment i come close to anything where the ndc has a foot hold then the agony anguish and frustrations start as they demand bribes or foolish payments especially when they find out i am Akan.I notice that the modus operandi of crime,discrimination,injustices,prejudice,tribalism,hegemony,cruelty,buga buga bullying and corruption always has one common denominating factor and that is NDC membership. The first thing any criminal does is ensures he is above the law and seeks NDC membership,then the game of double standards start.If they are Ewes , Northerners or satellite allies such as the Gas/Adas then they are truly untouchable,if they are Akan then they can be used as sacrificial scapegoats(see Vicky Hammah and compare to Dzifa Dattivor rebranding).Yes NDC has become an accursed abomination that has put a dark cloud over the people.They know nothing about democracy or understand the principle of unity in diversity so assume a difference in opinion or approach is a sign of crumbling fortunes or disaster. They do not see that even though the Russians and Americans are always competing with each other they think that they are enemies but do not notice in every major war they are always allies on the same side ,the same way they interpret the diversity of the Akans to mean enmity which they think they can exploit. Turkey tried it but were surprised when the CIA confirmed the Russians were speaking the truth . That is the mindset of outsiders , foreigners and manipulative Muslim rats.These people can never be Ghanaians and must be driven out of our country so we have our peace of mind.We should employ the tactics , strategies and principles in Sun Tzu's Art of War "I will force the enemy to take our strength for weakness, and our weakness for strength, and thus will turn his strength into weakness" NDC are the enemy and we shall serve them such a resounding defeat that for the next 1000 years nobody will dream of enslaving our people ever again. They are afraid of encouraging unity in in diversity , equal rights for all as all they know is ONE mind NO brains as we see in primitive societies and countries like northern Korea and the majority of these useless Muslim countries. This philosophy of one mind no brains is the reason they were alarmed at Mahama being endorsed with only 95% votes , why we have hegemony and tribalism in these Ewe and Northerners , why the divine will of God which enables the people to choose will be sabotaged by their rigging. They have alienated themselves from the true desires of the people what just want a normal govt which will look out for their well-being and interests , NDC is nothing but a blind, cold hearted wicked mafia Al Capone style criminal organization which will only succeed in causing misery and tragedy. We have succeeded this year on exposing them next year we shall knock them out and bury them forever. When they killed Atta Mills we promised them Ghana will never be the same and we would bring them down , now we promise them we shall start with the body punches , dismantle the effectiveness of their props the security agencies and prepare the people for war. Let them buy their guns and we will show them that cutlasses and stones are more effective as for every one defender we field they have to have 10 and behind every one another 5 to support their logistics because we defend our homes and they are an unwelcome occupational force. Notice how everyone is now fed up with this pepeni govt,anybody who gets close to them eventually gets infected or contaminated with their corrupt lying ,deceitful one mind no brains foolish stupidity. We see now where Kufuor got his idiotic ideas from of making all Akans subservient to Manhyia annoying mainly the Fanti speakers and Brong Ahafo which enabled NDc to easily exploit this and return them to power to oppress us again, a real jump from frying pan to fire. He was fraternizing with pepeni Mahama , it seems he is slowly coming to his senses as nothing can beat unity in respecting diversity.Anything NDC touches becomes distasteful and a shame,today we rank as one of the most corrupt countries in the world even beating Nigeria in this nefarious notoriety.Our landscape is now an eyesore with more mosques than even Saudi Arabia,rubbish and unnecessary miserable poverty everywhere,a govt full of Alajihs and Ewes the rest are glorified house boys with no sense of decency or justice.JJ led this Islamisation and allying us with useless Arabs instead of those we could better ourselves with. Politics of lies glorified in Ghana started with Nkrumah who for example made the people believe he was a god like messiah and for example stole the idea of the Akosombo dam for bauxite processing from the original planner conceived in 1915 by geologist Albert Ernest Kitson. Jackie Kennedy (wife of JFK) wrote in her memoirs that he was a egoistic womanizing disaster in the making. Nkrumah then somersaulted and claimed it was the dam that caused the debt instead of admitting he had mismanaged our monies by giving it away to friends , cronies and foreigners, another idiot who wanted to create a one party state not respecting the concept of unity in diversity.

Mahama & his cronies don't have a conscience & couldn't care less about Ghana. They are just a bunch of common thieves. All our oil revenue has gone in their pockets. Ghana is in big trouble thanks to useless Mahama.

That's why you are lonely, a miserable soul there is no need to pay mind to you. Count your days and name them one by one because those you benefit
from their empire will curse the day
they were born. Ghanaians ain't fools
as your dummy president said they
have short memory, they will show him
he can't use their resources as his
fathers estate to build an empire and
use it recklessly. Dummy mahama is no match to Dr Prophet Alhaji Bawumia in anyway intelligence or wisdom. Empty headed bunch of idiots mismanaging the affairs of once a beautiful country.

I am a lay-man and I would say that; some of these so called energy experts don't think before spewing their nonsense. How is the oil delivered to the barge? Does the oil fly by itself to the barge. you don't take into account freight charges and you throw the issue out "bam" like that to cause mischief.

The freight and handling quoted is only to the port. There is always additional transport and storage cost since a ship load of oil will not directly go to the barge. It must be received and stored before it could be deliver to the barge in smaller quantities.

My friend, it's very simple, they were shouting on top of the roof that Mahama-led NDC government is incompetent and doing practically nothing worth telling about and that the huge money borrowed so far had been squandered.

Now, there is a Green Book out there (GB) telling a magnificent story to the contrary. This threw their lies into the forecourt against the truth for judgement before all and sundry. Now, since they have nothing left to tell the citizenry they then decided to tell yet more lies that all the projects achieved so far under this administration are mostly bloated in an attempt to pauperise the progress chalked thus far.

Such is their funny story abound now. One should only ask as to how an incompetent government suddenly becomes an administration with projects flourishing under her belt? The story of these shameless Kukurudu lots is a renowned one from the embers of "Yen Ara Asaase Ni," Kwame Nkrumah's Ghana and must be told extensively to the kids growing up.

A "leadership" that will use every opportunity to steal from the people is no leadership: it's a bunch of "GREEDY BASTARDS." This is not the best and cheapest way to solve our power problem.

Can the editor of Finder give us the link to the website or company where the price of a metric tonne of Heavy Fuel Oil is $144? Why am I asking for this information? My search today at http: //www.insee.fr/en/bases-de-donnees/bsweb/serie.asp?idbank=001642883, revealed that the FOB of a metric tonne of Heavy Fuel Oil in Rotherham in Holland is $235.5 Whose bidding are these media houses doing by peddling falsehood? If this media house disputes my claim, can they provide us with the link for verification?

This is why I suggested in my posting that it is irresponsible to include thermal energy generation in the country's energy mix. It is very expensive to generate power this way since there will continuous varying cost of operation due to fuel to run such plants (either through natural gas or oil).
NDC has no intelligent people among them and in my opinion the party should never be allowed to run the country any more.
