What an educational video! This should be shared everywhere to show how inhumane that contract was. I wished these politicians assets could be seized before they leave power next year. They are thieves!!!
Thanks for the video! It so disheartening to see this happening over and over again. These are the same politicians that in 2021 refused to sell raw cocoa to Switzerland, arguing that Ghana no longer wanted to be dependent on the production and export of raw materials. I guess they have changed their mind again!
That’s what you get with politicians who are not truly motivated by the best interests of their people. They may take certain steps just to play to the gallery but will never work to change things fundamentally.
@@talkingAfricaCould you do a video on the plight of the people of WEST PAPUA, I'm Jamaican but my heart is heavy for all my people around world, i hear blacks talking about Gza but we ignore the suffering of our own people.

Hello Clifton, I must confess that I know next to nothing about happenings in West Papua but I will definitely look into it now. If possible, please do help me with some references/links. ✊🏿
The President and government of Ghana know better. The President said so himself at the UN General Assembly meeting in 2023. Mexico and South America provide Ghana's leadership with obvious examples of how they should protect their mineral resources to benefit the Ghanaian people. What are African leaders waiting for to emancipate themselves? The West has mobilized to keep Africa impoverished and backward, If we don't empower ourselves now we will again lose our economic and political freedom. Shame on you Ghana! The people of Ghana deserve better from their leaders. President Akufo-Addo needs to fix this now!

That's wisdom at work from Mexico. Don't we have opposition parties in Ghana to resist and protect the people why are they quiet? Or they don't have any ideas what is going on?
It's very sad, to observe such a bad deal and not thinking about the YOUTHS to get requisite type of employment like processing the LITHIUM, in Ghana to create maximum employment instead of transporting row LITHIUM abroad. What's really going on..in the Ghanaian Political arena?
With the recent release of Nigeria president education being fraudulent, I have been questioning all these leaders education. This could explain why they are so incompetent!!!! Hmmm
@AmaAidoo-ts8ws..They have all the academic credentials with nothing to show for. There is nothing in their heads, but to steal and destroy our beautiful country. Shameless incompetent lot, parading as leaders!! Mis-leaders, leading Ghana into a ditch.
The real issue is that these leaders have no will or wish to act in the best interests of their people. When a leader only cares about his personal interests, the education of that leader will not matter because he is only focused on enriching himself. @AmaAidoo-ts8ws
I'm totally shocked and dismayed at the incompetence of our Government. Who would in his right senses negotiate a deal like this for the people of Ghana in this age and time? How do we expect to create sustainable and lucrative jobs for our teaming youth without industrialization and technology transfer? How do we revamp our workforce without new incentives? I would rather expect the Government to renegotiate all old agreements concerning our natural resources to value-added ones. Sadly, we're still not learning from our past mistakes but rather continuing with what we now know to be detrimental to our growth as a nation. I will seriously advise any new government that comes to power to review and amend all existing agreements to favour Ghanaians.
These contract negotiations and confirmations establish a prima facie case for the incompetence and unfitness to carry out the provision and mandates of the Constitution of the Republic of Ghana!
Ghanaian should stand up organize themselves and demonstrate pls otherwise our children will suffer in future U see Tema harbour and all the mineral sources Pls youth stand up and fight Ghana we don't truthful human being they r all corrupt except Hon Kennedy Agyapong
Lets face it, modern day black Africans look so inferior when it comes to dealing with the west, with pen and paper. When it comes to governance, we always disadvantage the poor. Respect from the upper west side, New York city. God bless us all. 🎉
Our leaders tend to sign these bad deals because their selfish interests are taken care off. They are happy to sign off resources if they get their 5%. The real problem is the selfishness and wickedness of many African leaders. The likes of Kwame Nkrumah, Thomas Sankara, Gamal Nasser showed no inferiority when dealing with the west.
@@louisroselli-ei4bd wow, that’s crazy but I am not surprised. Governments, all over Africa, are overseeing the unbridled exploitation of their own people in the name of free market capitalism.
The people of Ghana need to protest against thos deal. Why should our people continur to suffer while white people who despise us grow rich off our resourcrs?
I am sorry Mr. Abu Jinapor. For you to compare this contract to contracts in other African countries is an indication of your personal corruption. Look at your cheeks and how they have filled up since you became minister. This is what happens when you appoint people who who have not led a professional life of their own before they entered politics. The likes of Okudzeto Ablakwah, Felix Fosu Kwakye, Asenso Boakye Abu Jinapor, etc. What jobs did these people actually have before they entered politics. They had never worked in their lives before and so, they steal and loot to secure their future as without politics, they have no future. This is nonsense at it highest.
The one who did the voice over commentary, also chose to dwell on what suits his objectives. He nicely refused to mention that the the mineral is to be processed in Ghana. Previous minerals contracts have no such compelling aspect. Some even had just 3% for the nation...yes, and it took over 10 years to get such to 5%. Let's listen without biases and ask ourselves thus...What Does This Bloke Seek To Achieve? My quest. Kasavubu Savuw
It is not true that the lithium is going to be processed in Ghana. As it stands, 50% of the yet-to-be mined lithium is earmarked to be sent to a refinery in the USA. This is information in the public domain.
Not sure but nothing stops Ghana from purchasing the required equipments. If some private company can buy them then Ghana surely can more than buy them too.
It is precisely because of the billions to be made that we believe Ghana has been ripped off. Ghana who owns the lithium and whose lands stands to suffer environmental damage has a share of just 13%. Does this make sense to you? Why should a few individuals(shareholders) take most of the profits while 30 million Ghanaians are left with crumbs?
@craig7726 you cannot look at the amount you are quoting in isolation. How much will be made in total and how much will the foreign company make? Why should they take over 80% of the profits while Ghana takes peanuts? Tell me. And the shortsightedness here is to settle for $4 billion when you can make so much more.
@@talkingAfrica It seems you haven’t taken the time to understand the financials. They are all publicly available but that requires research. The project generates US$6.6b and Ghana benefits ~$4b. The company has been exploring for over 10 years and will invest hundreds of millions of dollars.
😂😂😂 4 billion dollars?? You think that's money? Daft people in charge of resource rich nations! Can't Ghana set up a state enterprise to mine the resource? Or put together some local companies that are capable to mine it?

The opposition in Ghana has not raised any serious objections yet. Maybe, we have to wait and see if they will do so in the coming days
They never will because they are beneficiaries too
Africans must pay attention to the deals that their mindless politicians are making on their behalf!
It is highly necessary
What good would "pay[ing] attention" to the "deal?" The horse has already left the barn.

Lithium is equivalent to crude oil what percentage have the government of Ghana agreed with the oil companies?
10% or less.

15 years.
From 2025 they will be military charge in Ghana I think is coming home
Why do you think so?
Are the
Mining equipment owned by Ghana 🇬🇭
Not sure but nothing stops Ghana from purchasing the required equipments. If some private company can buy them then Ghana surely can more than buy them too.
You obviously don’t understand the benefits this project will bring to Ghana. It will generate close to US$4b for the country.
It is precisely because of the billions to be made that we believe Ghana has been ripped off.

Does this make sense to you?
Why should a few individuals(shareholders) take most of the profits while 30 million Ghanaians are left with crumbs?
How has Ghana been ripped off when receiving ~US$4 billion in benefits. Your focus on ownership % is short sighted.
