De oil coming and people causing trouble

Jul 29, 2016 Dem Boys Seh, Features / Columnists, News

Nutten don’t happen before its time. But then again things does happen and people does spoil it. Guyana is a nice country; it don’t get earthquake or hurricane. If it get any flood is not the kind that does kill people.
Fuh years people use to seh how Guyana got oil because everybody in de area got. Venezuela got, Suriname got, Brazil got, Trinidad got, and Barbados got some. Since goat ain’t bite Guyana it had to have oil.
People come and search and dem seh dem ain’t find none. One day dem find some oil in de interior, but de people who find it seh it didn’t got value.
De Creatah see a change coming, so he show Exxon Mobil wheh de oil deh. Now all of a sudden people talking like if de oil come out de ground already. Brassington was one who was counting de profit from de Marriott even before dem Chinee lay de first block. He know that once oil flow de Marriott gun mek plenty money, because de oil people got to find somewhere to stay.
Dem have people who suddenly realize that dem got to plant nuff food, because de people wukking pun de oil rig got to eat.
But dem boys want to know if Guyana gun end up like Trinidad. Once that country had oil, people stop planting. Some of dem stop wukking. De politicians now mekking sure that Guyana don’t end up in that position.
But one thing certain everybody gun look fuh a pay rise every month. If that ain’t enough, de countries gun tell Guyana to adjust its currency. It can’t got a dollar that look like it playing cricket—210 fuh one.
Yesterday when de man who controlling de rig talk, he mek it sound like if Guyana got oil to last till thy kingdom come. And that is a good thing. But dem have confusion. Guyana talking bout global warming and it putting faith in de very thing that cause global warming.
Dem boys seh that Guyana gun start dancing between de raindrops—climate change on one hand and global warming on de next.
Dem got people who gun tell lie to get dem hand pun de oil money too.
Talk half and watch how some people gun be scrambling fuh it.
