where do you people get your facts from? Nigeria supplies Ghana electricity? Are you ffing kidding me?  Ghana that supplies Power to Burkina Faso, Togo, and Cote D'Ivoire? And Nigeria supplies us power? You are dreaming!
Olu Maintain adopted a ghanaian kid so what? Has no Ghanaian ever adopted a nigerian kid?
Do you know how much the government of Nigeria owes our Oil Refinery Company at any one time? Billions. WE refine your oil for you on credit. There is nothing special with that. This is how countries do business with each other. But you never hear us ghanaians claiming that we are giving alms to nigeria by doing so.
Ghana borrowed money from Nigeria? Do you understand how international business functions? We bought stuff from Nigeria on credit? THis is routine international transaction. Who told you that is brotherly love. Nigeria buys things from Ghana and other countries on credit all the time. Like my oil refinery example above.
Why do you see this as philantrophy on the part of Nigeria?

Ghana is to raise oil shipments from Nigeria from 45,000 to 60,000 barrels per day (bpd), on credit terms flexible enough to lift its economy and upgrade the living standards of its 23 million inhabitants.
An official in Ghana confirmed at the weekend that President John Atta-Mills secured the deal at talks with President Umaru Yar'Adua in Abuja.


The administration of Atta-Mills, who took office in January, is facing a cash crunch as a result of the global melt down and high spending by the previous government in 2008.


Mahama Ayariga, spokesperson for Mills, said 45,000 barrels of the shipments would go to the Tema Oil Refinery and the balance to the Volta River Authority for power generation.


Nigeria would also extend credit for 90 days, instead of the current 30 days.


Ghana, the world's second biggest cocoa grower, is itself due to become an oil producer by the end of next year.


Atta-Mills had on Friday promised that his government would provide "a level playing field" for Nigerian investors in his country.


"I want to assure Nigerian investors that we will maintain a level-playing field for them in Ghana, because they have contributed to the growth of our economy through the provision of jobs and opened up the country," he told Yar'Adua.


In the past few years, hundreds of Nigerian investors, driven away from home by poor infrastructure and high cost of doing business, have berthed in Ghana, less than an hour's flight from Lagos.


Atta-Mills thanked Yar'Adua for the role he played which cooled down tempers during the Ghanaian elections last December.


"I will always remember that when we had challenges, you came to our aid," he said without giving details.
