They are an oil-producing nation, like Nigeria. Yet, they don’t have cheap petrol like Nigeria. Petrol (Premium Motor Spirit) in Ghana is GH₵13.2 per liter at the official rate, which is ₦550. Ghana does not subsidize petrol. That is why they have enough money left to put other things in place, like power plants for 24/7 uninterrupted electricity, good schools, hospitals, etc. “We can’t be pissing away our national wealth on an unsustainable fuel subsidy, which is mainly consumed by city dwellers who have multiple cars, and be surprised why we have infrastructural deficits. “Lagos, Kaduna, and Abuja now have trains and commercial buses. Other states should follow suit. Nigerians who cannot afford the new fuel prices should be encouraged and helped by the government to acquire environmentally friendly alternatives, like bicycles. While backing points with reasons, Reno disclosed that he just returned from Ghana where they do not sell cheap fuel and also do not subsidize Petrol. He argued that Nigeria cannot be ‘’pissing away” its national wealth on unsustainable fuel subsidies. Reacting to Reno’s tweet, Pere argued that, unlike Nigerian politicians, their counterparts in Ghana are not ‘’callous and disgusting.” He went on to describe Nigerian politicians as ‘’big time thieves’‘. He added that though Ghanaian politicians steal from the country’s treasury, they still manage to get the work done.

He said; “We should not look for excuses and to put the guilt on someone. We should have been better as a team. “First of all congratulations to Manchester City for winning the championship but it is a sad day for us. Now we have to face the reality, today we gave a goal away and we were not good enough to break them down. 
“We could play for three hours and we would not have done it. It is my responsibility and I take it. When it is beautiful great, when it isn’t, that is sport. The number of goals we have given to the opponents recently has cost us but we can’t put the guilt on someone. “We should have been better as a team and in the last few weeks we have fallen short. This is football. It is a very sad day, we have been working for 11 months with that aim and have been on top for so many days. We have competed but we didn’t have enough. Now we must heal. It is very painful. I have to find a way to lift the players and we have a tough week ahead of us.” Arteta is in his third full season as Arsenal’s manager and has by far produced his best campaign to date this season. His Gunners side won 16 of their first 19 games and have recorded memorable wins over the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and neighbours Tottenham, whom they’ve done the double over.
