Dem boys like wha de Pressie do to Exxon. Dem bin prepare fuh lose money elsewhere just fuh get at we honey.
De Pressie seh he nah gun be rushed into any permit. When he seh dat, dem ‘big’ ones at Exxon and dem shareholders get instantaneous belly wuk.
Dem oil companies de treating we like chess pieces. Well now, de Pressie checkmate dem. Dem bin treating we like tenants in we own country. Now de Pressie mek dem know who is de real landlord.
