This shows why the Ghanaian government should hold onto the state-own refinery rather than selling to a private investor. The government will regret it in the future if it, really, goes ahead to sell it. A future gov't will have to buy it back dearly.

Kudos to Dangote. Nigeria is the highest oil producingAfrican nation and is number 6 in the world. To SK Amankwa, please note that Nigeria has refineries but they are not producing to capacity. The oil Ghana has is not of commercial quantity and the daily oil production of Ghana is about 12% of Nigeria's. So, note that the the problems Nigeria is facing as an oil Producing nation(number 6 in the world and highest in Africa), is not the same as those of Ghana.

As a matter of fact, we do not need the man there. He should use his wealth to develop his nation Nigeria.

This man has been rich since the late 70's so it is now that he has realized to invest in Nigerian oil?

This is a good move. If Africans will get their acts together and invest and trade within Africa, Europeans will come and bow to Africans. Refinery is not functioning well in Africa because Europeans refiners are sabotaging it with the help of African importers.

The fake revolution that violently took the people and country hostage by the gun only to deprive the hard working rich in our society to enrich the criminally corrupt campus poor church rats and the fake socialist criminals and killed all our rich around whom the country would have survived the untold social economic hardships by creating job opportunities and contribute with finance support as being demonstrated by the Nigerian billionaire here today.

The haunted Rawlings must be a sad man today with blood guilt hanging around his head.

INDIVIDUALS ARE RICHER THAN MOST NATIONS AND THIS IS GOD'S PLAN IN THE BIBLE. THE FRENCH WOMAN WHO IS BOSSING IMF IS BEING ACCUSED IN HER OWN COUNTRY OF CORRUPTION.SHE IS A FRIEND TO MARSEILLE CROOK TAPIE ALREADY IMPRISONED AND A MINISTER TO SARKOZY WHO WILL SOON BE SENT TO JAIL- HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF ANY COUNTRY BEING SALVAGED ECONOMICALLY BY IMF? THE ANSWER IS NO.
ONLY CURSED EUROS AND AFRICANS WILL PURSUE INSTS TERMED MORIBOND. THE FIRST AMERICAN BLACK HAS GIVEN THE AFRICANS A TIP OFF BY IGNORING THE EUROPEANS. THE APOSTLE SAID CURSE BE ON ANYONE WHO DOES NOT FEAR THE LORD. TODAY THE AFRICANS AND THE EUROS TOP THE LIST. THE BIBLE SAYS SIN IS LAWLESSNESS. YOU DONT NEED ANY MEDIUM TO REALISE THE DOOM OF THESE CONTINENTS. MAKE HIM A PROPOSAL EXCEPT MORE MONEY GO INTO PRIVATE ACCOUNTS AS WE REFINE OUR OIL ELSEWHERE. AFRICANS WAKE UP AND STAND FOR XOUR RIGHTS, RATHER THAN INSULTS AND PULL HIM. HE DID NOT BECOME RICH FROM STEALING NEITHER BY BECOMING PRESIDENT.NOT FROM PRODUCTS HE FARMED ON HIS OWN. GO TO THE ANT, YOU MONKEY TO LEARN WISDOM
