  WE HAVE BEEN VINDICATED.
  
  We were the only persons who campaigned for Ghana to consolidate the PSA fiscal regime model introduced by PNDCL 84 for Ghana's oil fiscal regime, instead of converting the cheating colonial royalty system Kufuor illegally used for the Jubilee Fields, etc., into the so-called hybrid system, and handsome 5% "free" share to share with the EO&E Group as so-called "local partners" without any capital or know-how to bring to the table.
  
  >We're opposed by both the NDC and NPP MPs and all other NGOs. My examination of why this happened led to my investigation of what ignorance means and entails, and conclusion that ignorance is the most vicious of the cogs in the vicious cycle of underdevelopment and backwardness afflicting us Africans. It's not lack of capital, technology, etc., that's paramount. Ignorance is behind all that. One pernicious attribute of ignorance being stupidity or idiocy, I started reading on that too. It's a big and serious subject with books and articles written on it. Unfortunately, I don't think even one is found in Balme Library or the Psychology libraries in Ghana. Take for instance, Maxime Rovere's How to Deal With Idiots (AND STOP BEING ONE YOURSELF) and Thomas Erikson's Surrounded by Idiots. The ignorance and stupidity levels of our Ghanaian miseducated elite and misleaders is simply stupendous. Many of their decisions and actions stem from pure ignorance and stupidity.
  
  >Our Team in Ghana spoke with who is who in Ghana, so I can support what I'm writing here by mentioning names; after all, we have a public challenge to them on the Internet. But let me just mention the various Council of State members, from the NDC period to under the current regime. They heard from us for the first time that under PSA, the Ghana govt doesn't need to invest a cent but still get 60 or more % of oil drilled. Yes! Just like in almost all African countries drilling oil, or about to drill, as in Uganda or Kenya! Same can be done for other minerals. Of course, it was greeted with utter disbelief on their part, as they never heard of PSA before. President Mahama's response to the Paramount Chief of Tefle, Nakakpoo Dugbaza VIII, one of our patrons, at the VR House of Chiefs cleared showed that Mahama is still ignorant about what PSA means and entails. I now blame his appointed Ministers Buah and his deputy Dagadu, handlers and the likes of Tsatsu Tsikata, Dr Mould, Dr Cadman Mills, Mr Pianim, etc., for this anomaly. Shame on them! They failed him and Ghanaians. His first Chief of Staff, Bane, was useless.
  
  >Ghanaians have been lied to and deceived by a few disingenious people who knew the truth but were bought by the oil companies. They fall under the category of being silently ignorant, the most vicious form of ignorance. The former leaders of ACEP, the current Finance Minister and Peter Amewu are among them, under even DFID financing to misinform and lie to Ghanaians. Staff of GNPC went around the country deceiving Ghanaians, claiming falsely that Ghana didn't invest a pesewa into the Jubilee Fields, hence the low share Ghana got. Watch this video, copy and save it somewhere before they remove it. It's proof. Note the answer given by the GNPC staff to Freedom about 5.21 minutes into the video.

  These people deserve to be arrested and tried for causing financial loss to the nation.
