what 2.7 billion barrels of oil really means to Guyana?

I do not know what 2.7 billion barrels of oil really means to Guyana. However, I believe the following scenarios are all likely to occur in Guyana soon.
Those of us, who are poor working class people, will still be in poverty at the end of the day. I am positive; the vast majority of the Guyanese people will not see one drop of that oil – and experience any upliftment in their daily lives.
You can count on it. When will the US corporations to make their move on Guyana. Oil is nothing but a password to US interests. US intervention in foreign nations normally follows wherever oil is located. You ought to bet the house and all your life savings; on it. You will not lose – you cannot lose history suggest you cannot lose. Certainly history has a way of repeating itself all over this planet earth.
Intelligent people will expect 2.7 billion barrels of oil – will benefit the people. Colleges and Hospitals of international standards should be built. Hydro-electric power should be accessible to Guyanese and other neighboring nations of the Eastern Caribbean basin. Better bridges – more like the Brooklyn Bridge than floating bridges should be spanning the rivers in Guyana. Lands made available for agricultural pursuits. Standard of living will drastically improve. However in most nations such is only a pipe dream politicians offer the underprivileged working class people at events known as elections.
Mrs. Jagdeo should not hailing taxis cabs but be riding and/or driven in Lamborghinis or Bugatti Automobiles and should not some $2500 Tata motor vehicles made in India. How about it Jagdeo? Support your ex-wife- will you? What manner of beast are you? It is clear you have no use for females however you do not have to act without remorse for one. You are simply put just too spiteful to be humane.
Do you think Port Mourant will now get the much needed facelift? There ought to be no excuses after all is said and done – Guyana has less than a million souls and or there about – thus in an equitable society all every member of the Guyanese society ought to benefit from this find of natural resources. I do not think they will – I would love to be wrong but I doubt that very much. I would love to be most pleasantly surprised – would not you?
You thought the prior generations of politicians were corrupt. Well! I am not saying they were not – how could I say such a thing like that – but this generation will reduces the prior generations to saint hood. Bet on that – that is a foregone conclusion. You do not need a degree from any European academic institution to arrive at such a conclusion – that is for sure.
Sanity: Nigeria has oil and is numbered among the world top producing nations – yet there are always oil shortages and long lines of motor vehicles at filling station and corruption of politicians and their cronies and thus poverty and general havoc remains the order of daily life in that African nation. One recalls Biafra declared its independence from the remaining portion of Nigeria – thus led to the bloody encounter known as the Biafra Civil War. I simply hope Berbician politicians aren’t encouraging similar ideas and/or reactions. I have, several years ago, heard of folks clamoring for the Republic of Berbice. Now I believe the cry would be of some merit. I really hope that will never materialize. Guyanese people do not need such an experience. Oil has a way of making people especially politicians do inhumane acts against their own people…
I am positive; Mexico and Trinidad have nothing to shout about. Venezuela is perhaps not too thrilled about this latest development. Who knows perhaps Guyanese ought to expect Venezuela to increase its claim to include the Corentyne River Basin. I would not be entirely surprised.
The poor is catching hell and they will continue to catch hell. Note the poor people of earth are always, kinky haired; natty haired, black people, and indigenous people of the land. If it were not so I would not tell you it is.
