We demand better deals!
Sep 22, 2020 Front Page Comment, News
Foreign investors fetch away our riches and leave us empty-handed and hungry. Not content with only raping our resources, they also abuse and discriminate against our workers, while putting us against each other.
The Americans cart off our oil; the Chinese decimate our forests; the Russians pillage our bauxite ore; the Canadians ream away our gold. They take everything and leave very little behind. And all of them are granted license to do this by our leaders.
Our leaders have betrayed us. They, along with the foreign investors, wave before us the promise of jobs, asking a desperate nation to settle for the crumbs which are offered.
It is time to demand better from our leaders. It is time to reject their sweet talk and glossy promises.
We must insist on an end to the one-sided and lop-sided deals which our leaders make with foreign investors. Let them obtain more for our wealth so that instead of relying on foreigners for jobs, we ourselves can create our own jobs.
Revisit and reconsider all the signed agreements with foreign investors operating in the local bauxite, gold, oil and forestry sectors. If they refuse to give us a better deal, kick them out!
