[size=15pt]Cut in Supply of Nigerian Gas to Ghana Could Hurt Economy - Ghana Central Bank Governor[/size]

Wed, Sep 17, 2014 12:54pm GMT



ACCRA (Reuters) - A cut in the supply of gas from Nigeria to Ghana through the West African Gas Pipeline (WAPCO) is "not good news" and could damage the country's economy if prolonged, Ghana's central bank governor Henry Kofi Wampah told a news conference on Wednesday.

A senior official at WAPCO in Ghana said on Wednesday gas supplies through the pipeline, which serves, Togo, Benin and Ghana, have been cut due to a strike in Nigeria. Ghana's economy was hurt in 2013 by an energy deficit.

[size=15pt]Ghana faces acute power cuts as Nigeria pulls plug on gas supply[/size]

Daily Graphic (Ghana)

September 17, 2014




Power outages are set to worsen in the country after Nigerian authorities announced that the country will stop gas supplies to Ghana.

The decision, which took effect from yesterday, follows labour unrest in Nigeria.

“The Nigerian authorities communicated this bad news to us this afternoon. We are working out emergency measures to forestall adverse effects on individuals and industry,” a senior official at the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum told the Daily Graphic.

“What the stoppage of gas flow to Ghana means is that the Asogli Power Plant will shut down because it runs only on gas,” the official said.

The Asogli Power Plant was augmenting Ghana’s energy needs with an average of 180 megawatts (MW).

“This is certainly not good because other power plants are operating below capacity due to maintenance schedules, delay in crude oil supply and other factors,” the source added.

Individuals and businesses have been facing intermittent supply of electricity for several months.

Ghana’s demand for electricity is between 1,800 and 2,000 MW, but it is targeting 5,000 MW by 2016.

It wants to have enough to export to other West African countries by the end of 2016.

Yet they are very insultive. Only their women appreciate us and our efforts in improving their economy. We own majority of the estates in Ghana yet they come up here day and night to throw insults to our faces, even when we have their heart, in our palm.

I love Karma.

eyah, lord have mercy.

GHANA MUST FALL

Look at these MUMUs getting excited over nothing! First, I doubt the Ghana central bank governor said what he was quote as saying. secondly. how much volume of gas does nigeria supply to Ghana? a maximum of 120 million standard cubic feet of gas, which can generate between 450 to 500 MW of electricity. What is Ghana's installed generating capacity? 2,800MW. so how can the absence of 500MW, which the lack of gas supply implies for Ghana result in a total lack of power in Ghana? does it make sense?

hahahahaha and for those dumb MUMUs, I guess they are not aware that Ghana will soon finish its own gas treatment plant which will process 150 million scf of gas at Atuabo. the americans have already stopped buying you apes oil, soon they will stop buying your gas. That is when you would have wished Ghana and other would have bought your gas so backward. there are no words

stvpid punk! the facts don't add up, magg0t the gas from nigeria generates a maximum of 450MW. for a country with an installed capacity of 2,800MW, the absence of 450MW is a needless loss but not major catastrophe as conveyed in the article. too dumb to understand that, huh? a dumb ape in a zoo heard you are goatluck jonathan's slave,huh? hahahahahaha I guess you are ready for another sound trashing tonight? hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha fuckeduppedness

Dummy.. your installed capacity is far from your actual amount generated, which falls at around 1000 mw. That is why the shortfall in Nigerian gas, WHICH CONTRIBUTED TO YOUR ACTUAL GENERATION, is a nightmare for that tiny, dependent village you call your country.

By the way, I thought you'd discovered oil and gas? Why are still so dependent on Nigeria?

Nigerians Are Thieves Says Greek Ambassador To Abuja

TWELVE days after Vanguard reported that the Ambassador of Greece in Nigeria, Mr. Haris Dafaranos and his wife, Haralambo, labelled Nigerians thieves, there has been no reaction whatsoever from the Nigerian authorities.

Mr. Dafaranos and his wife were at the reception area of Transcorp Hilton in Abuja on July 11 when the wife found a wristwatch, which a client of the hotel forgot while checking out.

She refused to hand over the wristwatch to the security personnel on duty at the reception who wanted to keep it for the owner. She said Nigerians were habitual thieves, she did not trust that the wristwatch would get to the owner. She refused to listen to the appeals of even the security manager on duty to turn in the wristwatch.

The arrival of Mr. Notore Kolagbodi, to claim his wristwatch did not change Mrs. Dafaranos’ mind. She wanted proof of ownership from Mr. Kolagbodi.

Hot exchanges between Nigerians and the woman did not bring her to her senses. She continued calling Nigerians thieves. Her husband supported her. “Nigerians are thieves. Can anyone of them deny that fact? What is the assurance that you guys did not connive to bring this fellow as the rightful owner of the wrist watch?,” Mr. Dafaranos asked?

The woman had to be persuaded to hand over the wristwatch after she had exhausted herself.

We think that the silence of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on this matter is worse than the undiplomatic behaviour of the Greek couple. If the Dafaranos think so contemptuously of Nigerians, they have no business being in this community a day longer. What informed their audacity? Is it the knowledge that they can abuse Nigerians and keep their positing?

This was not a one off unguarded statement. The ambassador and his wife were insistent on their abusive views about Nigerians. They should be made to realise that this type of conduct is below the conduct of a diplomat and is unacceptable, and one that surely deserves a recall of the couple.

It is appropriate for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to conduct a serious investigation into the behaviour of the Greek ambassador who before now was harping on the importance of the economic ties between Nigeria and his country.

People witnessed the incident, which was in an open area, the ever-busy Hilton reception lobby. They included the hotel security manager on duty during the incident. If the investigation indicts him, he should be deported immediately.

Greece also owes Nigerians an apology for sending them an ambassador who would abuse them, as if Greece is populated by only saints.

Nigerians who visit embassies in Nigeria for businesses are subjected to serial abuses. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs maintains a stoic silence on the conduct of these embassies. Indifference of government to the poor treatment Nigerians get at embassies could have emboldened Mr. Dafaranos and his wife.

Whatever happened, the incident deserves full investigation and punishment for any guilty parties.

Whose fault is it that gayna is a moronic nation of thieves governed by a drunk?

gaynaians are thieves - freedom moderator

The Palaver reports that it has been confirmed the CNN Johannesburg Bureau Chief, Charlayne Hunter-Gault who was the moderator of the Presidential Forum held at the Accra conference center on September 27, 2000 has referred to Ghanaians as thieves.

The paper says the name-calling according to their scouts has been due to the moderator's claim of having lost $17,000 at the hotel where she lodged during her stay in Ghana for the Forum.

According to the scouts, Charlayne claims she left an envelope containing the amount in the hotel's security vault during her stay, but when she went for the envelope, she did not check the content.
