Big Guns Stay Clear of Jubilee ‘Mess’ in Ghana


Before we start to apportion blame and also make disrespectful comments about our leaders, past or present, I think we should first define what the author calls the "Mess" and it is only the author who can help the situation. We are a nation of human beings, like any other nation, who are NOT perfect.

UNCHAIN GHANA! With the muddy situation, it would require GNPC to take a bold step forward and purchase Exxonmobile shares. This would calm the current waves down a bit. It's absolutely necessary that GNPC takes this quantum leap, for Ghana
