It would be funny if it were not so serious. A company drilling for oil in Ghanaian waters has announced that its made a find.
The highest figure put on the reserves it has discovered is 600 million barrels. Nigeria can produce that much oil in a single year. Currently, its producing about 2 millions barrels a day; if you multiply that by 365 days, you get 730 million barrels.
Even the tiny bit of oil we’ve discovered is deep down in the sea and is yet to reach the surface and into a tanker. And yet, already, our politicians are at each other’s throats, arguing bitterly about all sorts of irrelevant things.
