These guys have Gold deposits in Kumasi, flourishing Timber exports, Cocoa business is booming, their tourism industry actually exists, they have no war in the North or any other direction(ignore CI), they have a cost line of their own and their Umeme doesn't load shed them lkike crazy And by the way their market is liberalized! Why not 3M?
