chei, some apes go pkeme oooh roforoforofo Delayed Ghana gas project to start production end-2014 -president Tue Sep 2, 2014 7:10pm GMT Print | Single Page (Adds quote, context) By Kwasi Kpodo ATUABO, Ghana, Sept 2 (Reuters) - Ghana's delayed project to supply gas from its offshore Jubilee oil field will start production by the end of the year, President John Mahama said on Tuesday on a visit to the site. The $850 million project was supposed to have opened in December but stalled largely because of difficulties securing the disbursement of $600 million from the Chinese Development Bank, part of a $3 billion loan agreement signed in 2011. As a result, Mahama's government has struggled to tackle the country's energy supply deficit and has spent more money than its budget projections on oil imports. This in turn has worsened a fiscal deficit. Mahama said during an inspection of the terminal at Atuabo the project will be a "gamechanger" for the economy and save $1.5 billion per year in foreign exchange and other costs. "Some gas will start flowing soon but commissioning will be when the full volume of 120 million standard cubic feet of gas is being transmitted to Aboadze and I suppose that will be sometime by the end of this year," he told reporters. The Western Corridor Gas Infrastructure Development Project includes a 111-km pipeline in Western Region that will take gas via Atuabo to thermal turbines at Aboadze run by the Volta River Authority that will generate 500 megawatts of power. Delays in its completion is one reason why production at the Jubilee field has held steady at a lower level than the government initially expected. Tullow Oil said in June the government had granted it permission to increase the amount of gas it flares from Jubilee, a decision that will help the company meet its 2014 gross production target of 100,000 barrels per day. Ghana's economy has grown strongly in recent years on the back of exports of gold, cocoa and oil but it faces an array of fiscal problems including inflation and a falling currency and, as a result, the government needs to conserve foreign exchange. Finance Minister Seth Terkper is in Europe this week ahead of the country's third Eurobond, Mahama said, adding that he hoped the country would get a good rate. Ghana decided in August to open talks with the International Monetary Fund on an assistance package in a bid to resolve its fiscal difficulties.

[size=15pt]Ghana: Cut in gas supplies from Nigeria triggers another power crisis in Ghana[/size] The decision of the Nigerian-based West African Gas Pipeline to halt gas supplies to Ghana is causing another huge power crisis in Ghana, with industries and businesses expected to be the worst affected. Gas supplies from Nigeria were restored only recently after an eight-month break, caused by the destruction of gas pipelines in Togo by a ship. Now, the cause of the break in supplies is not a destruction of the pipelines but labour unrest, the state-owned Graphic newspaper reported on Wednesday. “The Nigerian authorities communicated this bad news to us this afternoon (Tuesday). We are working out emergency measures to forestall adverse effects on individuals and industry,” the newspaper quoted sources at the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum as saying in Accra. http://www.africanmanager.com/site_eng/detail_article.php?art_id=22538 1 Like |

OMG a nation of 160 million foooooooooooooooooooooooooooools Nigeria: A Nation of 160million Fools By Dan Amor , 081 5180 8817 (sms only pls) danamor67@yahoo.com When the Union Jack (the British flag) was, at the glittering mews of the Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos on October 1, 1960, lowered for a free Nigeria’s green-white-green flag, gloriously fluttered in the sky by the breezy flurry of pride and ecstasy, it was a great moment pregnant with hope and expectation. The whole world had seen a newly independent Nigeria, a potential world power, only buried in the sands of time. Endowed with immense wealth, a dynamic population and an enviable talent for political compromise, Nigeria stood out in the 1960s as the potential leader in Africa, a continent in dire need of guidance. For, it was widely thought that the country was immune from the wasting diseases of tribalism, disunity and instability which remorselessly attacked so many other new African states. But when bursts of machine gun fire shattered the predawn calm of Lagos its erstwhile capital city in January 1966, it was now clear that Nigeria was no exception to Africa’s common post-independence experience. During the following four years (1966-1970), the giant and ‘hope’ of Africa measured its full length in the dust. Two bloody military coups, a series of appalling massacres and a protracted and savage civil war which claimed over a million lives threatened to plunge the entire country into oblivion. It also deprived Black Africa, already weakened and disillusioned, of a crucial element of strength and leadership in the growing confrontation with White Africa along the Zambezi. As God would have it, at the end of the civil war in 1970 the nation experienced an oil boom and a staggering wealth never before recorded in the history of young nations. This new status, coupled with the emergence of a dynamic leader in the person of the late General Murtala Mohammed, in the mid-1970s, launched Nigeria back to a position of relevance in Africa when it proffered a new meaning and identity for the continent. Today, instead of a consummation of that hope and expectation, what confronts Nigeria is the story of a nation that has turned full circle as a giant with feet of clay: a big national and international nuisance and embarrassment. We are experiencing an unnerving weight of fuel scarcity in the sixth largest exporter of crude oil in the world. A sadistic cabal of recycling local imperialists in both khaki and agbada has since hemmed the supposedly “giant of Africa” in a colony where misrule, ineptitude, crass opportunism and corruption have been elevated to a national culture. More than half a century into this circuitous game in which the nation’s till has been pillaged and her vast wealth frittered away abroad, the rot is peaking; and the hapless people are paying the imponderably colossal price. At the moment, in spite of a record huge revenue from the sale of crude oil and other domestic sources, the social services sector, which more directly impugn on the people’s lives, is almost at the height of a complete system collapse. The story of virtually every social responsibility of the state to the people; of every area where the state remain relevant to her subjects under the unwritten social contract code, has been rewritten on its head: hospitals have graduated from mere prescription clinics into mortuaries as even medical doctors and other health workers are constantly on strike. The public school system is in a shambles; roads, including hitherto smooth expressways are now death traps; and almost a century after electricity supply debuted in Nigeria, her citizens still live more in darkness than light. Here is a complete story of retrogression and decay. Above all, there is an alarming rate of insecurity in the land. Nigeria is in a ferocious state of anomie. This is made worse by a tired and disheartened bitterness among the citizenry. If Hilaire Belloc is right in his opinion that ‘readable history is melodrama’, the true story of the first decade of the twenty-first century in Nigeria, which also doubles as the longest tragic period of civil misrule since the past 99 years of the forced union by Lugard, should be mind-boggling. It has been a decade of turmoil, with the elemental passions predominant. Never have Nigerian public officials in responsible positions, directing the destiny of the nation, been so brutal, hypocritical and corrupt, leaving the country to swim in infrastructural decay, unemployment, hunger and desperation as in the past fourteen years of quasi-democracy. The outcome is the pervading poll of insecurity which is threatening to drive the country into yet another civil war. Like a demented society, Nigeria is soaked with irrational impulses, stress and tension as the people can no longer elect their leaders. Aside from armed robbery which has rendered the entire police force vulnerable, there is candidly speaking, an alarming rate of mockery killings in Nigeria. There are indeed gruesome stories of rapes, perversities, and child murders. Hostage taking is now a booming business in the country. An extremely partisan and sympathetic public is willing to read and believe anything as even the crime pages of our national dallies appear tinged with sadism. Yet, where is that Nigerian who does not know that the real criminals in our midst today are our rulers? Who does not know that much of the savagery connected with our current state of hopelessness and bloodletting could be explained in the character of the buccaneers who have misruled us for all these miserable years? How did Ghana which was at the level we are today in early 1980’s make it to now become an enviable haven where our foreign and local investors now relocate to? Why has Nigeria suddenly relapsed into a country where violence has become a national pastime? It is interesting at this point to draw a historical parallel between Nigeria and India, a former victim of colonialism which has now turned itself to a world power due to political doggedness and economic independence. For a country like Nigeria still paying lip-service to the ideals of a federated union, the Indian Federation is an enduring model. There is a high level of competition with every state controlling its economy, separate army and police. Hence the drive for massive, unprecedented investment in education and manpower development as India exports more than 800 scientists annually to the Silicon Valley of the United States who manufacture made-in-America goods. The difference in age between India and Nigeria is 13 as India gained political independence from Britain in 1947. But the question is: can Nigeria attain the height India has reached in the next 13 years? From a position of relative despair and frustration, India has bequeathed to her children hope and happiness while Nigeria is still dancing in circle. Nigeria, where is thy soul? We are indeed a nation of 160million fools! [s] iconise:[/s]

Stewpid nigayrians!!! Boko harram will finish y'all! fucktards. Ghana’s ruling government has concluded plans to begin export of electric power to Nigeria and other West African countries by 2015. The country’s Vice President, Mr John Dramani Mahama, who unfolded the plan in Accra, on Tuesday, said the government has already embarked on extensive expansion of power infrastructure to enable them achieve the project. Mahama explained that a key motivation for the investment was that Ghana presently has competitive advantage in the area of power supply over other neighbouring countries, including Nigeria, which is still grappling with massive power deficit for its estimated 150 million citizens. https://www.nairaland.com/826346/nigeria-buy-electricity-ghana-believe Benin, Togo ask for more power from Ghana.............. "Benin and Togo have made a joint request to the Ghana government to supply them with more power, since their power situation is more desperate than Ghana’s. “The situation in Benin and Togo is worse.” Ghana has reduced the contractual supply of power to Benin and Togo from 90 MW to 35 MW after the destruction of a pipeline belonging to the West Africa Gas Pipeline Project (WAGP) in August 2012. The cut in power supply to the two countries has resulted in massive load shedding and power disruption in Togo and Benin between eight and 12 hours or more daily. Mr Kassa(Benin minister for energy) looked worried, apprehensive and expectant when he pleaded with the minister to compromise and increase the power supply slightly upwards, but Mr Buah(Ghana minister for Energy) was firm and said Ghana could only help when the situation in the country normalised. Mr Buah’s response created more distress for Mr Kassa and his team, who shoved diplomacy aside and displayed open worry. Ghana Commissions New Dam The Electricity Company of Ghana(ECG) made history on Friday when it became the first company in the West African sub-region to pioneer the supply of power to villages on the borders of neighbouring countries.

Jeez, the apes eat from the dustbin A Meal From A Dustbin In Lagos Ugochukwu Ejinkeonye It was a very beautiful evening in Lagos. I had parked the car in front of my wife’s office, and was inside the car waiting for her to get her bag from her office so we could go home together. And then, I saw the man as he passed, looking very hungry, haggard and harassed. It was quite clear that he was not mad. At least, not yet. What was easy to notice was that he was greatly traumatized by the impossible conditions under which he struggled each day to exist in this impossible place called Nigeria, a country so richly endowed, but where life for the majority has become hellish. [img]http://4.bp..com/-I9Nj1gV88sA/TZm8D_4eqjI/AAAAAAAAACk/xSC2VLEXae4/s640/SCANVENGER2.JPG[/img] Recent studies have shown that due to boundless plundering of the public treasury flourishing in Nigeria, about 99% of the country’s resources are in the hands of just 1% of the population, and more than 85 per cent of Nigerians live below poverty level. Well, suddenly, the man’s hungry eyes caught the dustbin outside the office complex, a few meters away from where my car was packed. He appeared so elated at his clearly delicious find. His face creased into an awful gesture, which he probably meant to be a smile. Then, with a quickened pace, he made for the dustbin, and began to desperately rummage in it, among its decayed, putrid, stinking contents. He seemed afraid that someone might come out to drive him away before he was through. His diligence, meticulousness, and sense of urgency would have been very infectious were it not that were deployed on the clearly diseased contents of a refuse bin. An idea occurred to me immediately. Nigerians ought to share this heart-rending image with me, to see one of their own reduced to such a sorry spectacle in a country that was overwhelmingly prospering from crude oil exports. Perhaps, a few would weep and think deeply about the unbearable condition that years of abysmal misrulership have reduced many Nigerians. [s] iconise:[/s] |

[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. http://af.reuters.com/article/investingNews/idAFKBN0HC1AF20140917 Meanwhile.. Long queues at filling stations in Ghana caused by fuel shortages. http://www.modernghana.com/news/437432/1/fuel-shortage-hits-accra.html [img]http://ghanavoices.files./2009/07/fuel20shortage20550.jpg[/img] [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. http://kessbenfm.com/ghana-faces-more-power-cuts-as-nigeria-cuts-gas-supplies/ |

They don't allow Ghananians to talk to them so as to keep that 9ja pride/superiority intact. Nigerian ladies find it insulting, dishonourable and disrespectful to be associated with Ghananians. Trust me on this, 9ja babes ll fight u to stand still if you dare say "you look like a Ghananian". Chai!!! You ve already spoil her mood for the rest of the week for calling her a Ghananian.

Please stop all this imaginary competition with Ghana. It is the Nigerian economy that most countries in west africa will use to grow.
