Nigeria To Hold Talks With Ghana Over Gas Supply Threat - ChannelsTV


The Ghanaian Government delegation is in Nigeria to hold emergency talks with the Federal Government, to avert a drastic gas supply cut threat.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) said it will cut gas supply by 70 per cent to Ghana’s main power generation company by Friday, owing to unpaid debts of $181 million.
Ghana has already suffered power shortages and Nigerian gas meets about 25 per cent of its needs.
Ghana was for years one of Africa’s economic stars, but falling global commodity prices have blunted the value of its gold, cocoa and oil exports.
Its fiscal problems include inflation of up to 17.4 per cent in September, a currency that has fallen sharply in the last two years and a debt-to-GDP ratio of around 70 per cent.

JOKE: AKPORS: Like father, like son

Akpors and his father were visiting the shopping mall for the first time. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and back together again. Akpors asked his father, AKPORS: “Daddy what is this?” His father [never having seen an elevator] responded; DAD: “Akpors, I have never seen anything like this in my life before, I don’t know what it is.” While Akpors and his father were watching wide-eyed, an old woman of 72 years of age walked towards the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the woman rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and Akpors and his father watched small circles of lights with numbers above the walls light up. They continued to watch the circles light up in the reverse direction. The walls opened up again and a beautiful young woman of 22 years of age stepped out. Akpors’ father said to him, DAD: “Run fast, go and bring your mother.”
