  2. The only way Ghana can benefit from this discovery is to control it entirely. Ghana cannot afford to have these western oil companies drill from our shores and give us a part of the profit. Every bit of the operation should be in Ghanaian hands. If we lack anything; be it the technical knowhow or equipment, we should invest in that. Africans must control African resources. There aren't any African companies controlling oil companies in the West. This is my only concern about this discovery.
