You cant create curses in Jesus' name. it bounces back, so that means you will be the receipient of your own curse.

How dare you.

Jon you have observed our people. They do not like it when one ask of transparency. A Queenmother in the Volta region really had me killed for asking this precise question.

For a whole month the meters on the pipelines filling oil tankers for export were not functioning.They all turned a blind eye until their pockets were full before they noticed. God help us!!!

GOGIG is flawed because it does not challenge the rationale behind adoption of so-called Ghana Hybrid System, versus Production Sharing Agreement (PSA).

It simply accepts that as the best thing for Ghana.

It is not!

When your country is entitled to 100 million barrels of your own oil but your country receives just 27.2 million barrels, (27% of that 100 million barrels of oil), that is an economic hit job on your country.

That is 27% Pro-Growth!

That is predatory.

That is a "Contract on Ghana."

GOGIG, then, is only focusing the Peoples' attention of the 27%, instead of the 100,000,000.

In effect, the British-funded GOGIG initiative is seeking to help Ghana manage a mere $2.6 billion, assuming same level of production the next 5 years.

But Ghana would be entitled to $9.3 billion, if politicians were to adopt the PSA, the gold standard for sovereign oil contracts.

GOGIG, oddly, is not interested in Ghana losing more that $6 billion because of an inferior oil contract!
