  The people of the area and entire Central region community should be front runners of this lithium deal,because they own it,and reach a good deal that will benefit the development of the area and entire region.
  Asantes and their chief do benefit largely on gold extraction in their region,and also partakes in any agreement when any extraction takes place. This area in the Central region was first to be discovered with oil by Acheampong's government in 1974 and they never benefitted in any government till the production went low and wells were shut,the oil money from the area was benefitted only to Rawlings and his stooges,the Tsikatas.
  The people of the area should wise up and stand firm to obstruct any agreement being taken by the government that will not benefit them. Not group of elite people to benefit on their neck as it did happen with Rawlings.

  Jerry Hansen of the Ramblers have a song that says, It's like untangling a black rope in the dark.
  I've been advocating complete control of our lithium and any other mineral by the government. That's whats found in our constituition, the chiefs are custodians of the land and all minerals belong to the government in trust for the people.
  President Atta Mills did what was right by borrowing $1 billion from the Chinese government to establish the Atuabo gas plant, Ghana Gas Company, which Ghana owns 100%. So what is wrong with us buying 3%, getting 10% royalties, investing $3 million? We are trying to untangle a black rope in the dark. If we've been able to borrow $1 billion in the past, why are we struggling with a few million dollars?
  As stated in this article, the lithium is to be shipped out in its raw form without refining. According to Iron Ridge Resources, there is the possibility of finding three other minerals, TIN, BERRYLLIUM AND CESIUM when they dig.All these have not come up in the discussions. So as usual mining companies will dig and ship our minerals out and refine it somewhere without the inquisitive eyes of locals.
  It is about time we mined our own minerals, refine it ourselves and produce batteries ourselves without calling anybody. Barack Obama said, "Yes we can" and did it to become the first African American President of the USA. What did you mean when you guys were saying, you had the men to rule the country?
  Yes, we have a whole University of Mines in Ghana. Is it a nursing school?

  I don’t understand this, why can’t we suspend this all together? This thing is still in our soil, something everyone is talking against? Why is Ghana chiefs and their politicians so useless? These things has been going on since our forefathers came across Europeans. What sort rubbish is this? John Mahama has got sense now feeling ashamed of comparing obuasi to Johannesburg. Are we not fools? Tell us who own Adansi and Ashanti gold ahba. We are deaf so we didn’t hear it was raining overnight, we we blind not to see the ground or the floor is wet after our night slumber?

  Trying to unravel Bright Simmons' mumbo jumbo raises some key questions: 1) Is Bright honestly surprised that potential big-money investors are de-prioritizing Ghana's lithium project when he and his civil society associates, together the political opposition, are doing all they can to try to chase away such investors with unfounded insinuations of corruption and unduly high investment risk? 2) Is Bright aware that the Rwanda's deal with Rio Tinto which he so loudly touts, is for exploration and mining only, whereas Ghana's deal with Barari explicitly specifies local processing? 3) Has Bright considered that Barari could be to Lithium what Kosmos Energy was to oil discovery in Ghana? Sometimes it takes a small, hungry investor like Kosmos Energy or Barari to make a breakthrough after the majors like ExxonMobil or Rio Tinto shun a project.

  We are either dump, ill prepared etc. We are owing 15% and some Ghanaians are praising this deal/. Look at Rwanda, and next door Burkina Faso. After Agyapa failure Nana Addo and cronies are doing all to steal our resources.. Examine critically and you would find this is a Ghanaian owed company with some hired White folks fronting.NAna Addo and cronies think they are the smartest and can outsmart anybody in Ghana. But note, nemesis will definitely ctach up with evil doers.
