This matter should not be taken to the United Nations nor the International Court of Arbitration. There are billions of dollars at stake. Ghana will lose because of the nefarious French influence. Remember Nigeria lost its dispute with Cameroun over the oil-rich Bakassi Peninsula because of French influence. Ghana should adopt a military posture. We should be prepared to go to war. But Ghana is the most corrupt country in the country so in the end the oil wealth will go to the few powerful individuals in the country.

Not so, my brother. Nigeria lost the oil-rich Bakassi Peninsula to Cameroon simple because the former is considered as having too much oil enclave to contend with in the region and letting go just one peninsula containing an estimated oil reserves of a little over 5 billion barrels as against 66 billion oil reserves of theirs and subsequently more and exploration continues , could allow peace to prevail by letting go of that Peninsula to save the entire region. So, Nigeria caved-in and gave the necessary peace a chance.
On other hand, the recent niceness coming from the Ivorian towards us on the said C-100 maritime space offshore is simply borne out of a recent massive oil find east of Abidjan hence their “coolous” altitude lately. Hope that they will amicably explore the region together and share the supposedly reserves find, if any, accordingly. Now, read below of their recent discovery:
TOTAL DISCOVERS OIL IN DEEP OFFSHORE IVORY COAST
=====================================================
The Total-operated Saphir-1XB exploration well on Block CI-514 proved the presence of liquid hydrocarbons in the deep offshore west of Ivory Coast. "Drilled in an abrupt margin play, this first well is the first discovery in the San Pedro Basin, a frontier exploration area in Ivory Coast," commented Marc Blaizot, Senior Vice President, Exploration at Total. "Having confirmed the presence of a petroleum system containing light oil, we will next evaluate this very promising find and focus on its extension to the north and east." Lying in 2,300 meters of water, Saphir-1XB is the first well in Block CI-514. It was drilled to a total depth of 4,655 meters, encountering around 40 meters of net pay containing light 34° API oil, in a series of 350 meters of reservoirs.
The data acquired during drilling are being analyzed and will be used to determine the area’s potential and design the delineation program. Total is pursuing its intensive exploration program in the area, with plans to drill two wells in Blocks CI-515 and CI-516 by year-end.
Total E&P Côte d’Ivoire operates Block CI-514 with a 54% interest, alongside CNR International (36%) and PETROCI Holding (10%). Total Exploration & Production in Ivory Coast. Total also has interests in three other ultra-deep offshore exploration licenses in Ivory Coast (CI-100, CI-515 and CI-516). The Group is continuing to analyze the oil discovery made in Total-operated Block CI-100 in 2013, which confirmed the extension of an already proved active petroleum system in the prolific Tano Basin.

Instead of negotiating about maritime and land boundaries, why can't the two sister countries negotiate about 'UNIFICATION'. This should be so because two- thirds of Ivorians are Nzema speaking.
French is the OFFICIAL and popular language followed by NZEMA and Bahule.However, any person who speaks Bahule, Wobe,Bete Bete and Ayin understands NZEMA. GHANA should try UNIFICATION with Ivory Coast and Togo (even if Ghana should aboundan ENGLISH as a price to pay for that unification.
Artificial and colonial boundaries and demarcations are killing countires like Ghana and Ukraine.
Because of the ONENESS of the two countries, that is why there is no tension in the maritime negotiation, and it will not surprise me if there are Nzemas in the Ivorian delegation.
NKRUMAH NEVER DIES.

These northerners have no ideas about our oil. Ask them if whether they know anything about coastline or sea. They should stay in their desert there period
