Has she told her country that?It,s easier said than done.Let Nigeria tidy up their corrupt disposition before letting it out to others.For she should realize that Ghanaians are blindly imitating Nigerian corrupt mindset with the advent/exposure and invasion of Nigerian movies etc. on the Ghanaian market place and until that was checked,the corrupt mentality of Ghanaians will be hard if not impossible to change.

I think she knows how low Nigeria has come as a result of Nigeria's oil find. She feel's oil hasn't done as much good to Nigeria as it could have been - the country was economically well diversified prior to the oil era, and policy makers it country didn't foresee the negative side of oil on time till corruption got out-of-hands.

So I think she wants Ghana to use Nigeria's failure as a guide to perfect her (Ghana's) policies surrounding oil.

KWAME,
You need to understand what Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is doing in Nigeria to be able to make sense of her advice to Ghana. Her relentless fight against corruption in Nigeria is beginning to yield meaningful results which have earned her global acclaim. She understands how badly corruption has affected the oil regime in Nigeria and doesn't want that to repeat itself in Ghana.

don't listen to that "Kwame" guy. He is an NDC foolsoldier, and he knows the gist of the lady's pronouncements. The lady knows these NDC people are criminals, and they will do anything to steal from the oil industry in Ghana if they are not put in check. These same fools were insulting Obasanjo because Obasanjo was against Rawlings and his subversive activities during Kufour's administration.

Does it make any damn difference who the audience is ? Truth is truth no matter who is in possession of it or where the truth is coming from. The lady has a wealth of experience and there is nothing wrong with her decision to share some of her expertise and experience with ghanaians. What you're saying, Kwame, reminds me of parliamentary debate in the first republic, Ideas from the other side of the isle were rejected not because they lacked substance but simply for coming from their opponents.When we put personal interests ahead of the national interests the entire nation suffers.Does her good advice suddenly turn into a bad one because Nigerians did not receive it before her ghanaian audience? Ridiculous !

Africans especially ghanaians are plain stupid. we cant even feed ourselves let alone think for ourselves. Tramps.All you think about is sex and voodoo. I wish with all your vodoo, you could at least learn to drill and extract your own oil rather than give it to foreign govwernments at 90% to 10%.

Most African Leaders are greedy selfish and just evil , pure evil. Their ambition is to amass wealth at the expense of the rest of their citizens. SHAME ON ALL THE LEADERS WHO STEAL FROM THE NATION

Accountability and transparency are key to effective leadership but the primary factors are culture, custom and law. These three components must first be established in order to groom tomorrows leaders.
A culture that is free from greed, self sufficient and reliant. A custom that respects each other, believing nobody is beneath or above the other and a country that has effective and enforceable laws.
All these I believe Ghana has cultivated over the years and may sustain, sadly my country Nigeria is yet to reflect these attributes.
Hopefully one day we will get there. Wishing Ghana a greater future with their discovery.
