Excellent discussion. It is well known that Guyana is sadly suffering from 'brain drane': Their highly skilled and educated individuals have left the land of many waters in droves with no desire to return permanently. The coalition are trying their best under the circumstances but what is quite apparent and this valid point was made during this excellent discussion, they should definitely adopt and learn from East Timor. Secondly, I got the distinct impression during my recent travels, that many of the population believe that Guyana will transform overnight for the better, which it will not. There will be a trickle down effect that will take time and reserves need to be maximised before this Midas effect can be experienced. Lastly, due to the corruption, which is becoming excessively out of control, foreign investors will only utilise this territory as a fleeting base and as a consequence, the neighboring islands will benefit the most (I.e using their territories as a permanent base and fly domestically in and out of Guyana only when necessary). Inevitably and in order to avoid the corruption, plus also in the long term, it will work out to be a cheaper option for them. Alas, the properties being currently built in preparation for the foreign investors long term letting will initially feel the untoward negative effects of this. I am rooting for the coalition government to turn this around and make the decisions for Guyana and it's people plus implement legislation that will ward off any long term negative outcomes for the various committees, the environment and their citizens. I just hope that the country's vulnerability will not become their downfall. I could go on and on, as I experienced and observed so much but please, with compassion, integrity and wisdom, make Guyana great again!!

Born and raised in Guyana and I can safely say that we the Guyanese people are screwed we have seen all of this happen before in the Gold industry Governments in Guyana have a way of pouring monies into their ideals and funds and the money is never to be heard of or seen again. Al Jazeera needs to come to Guyana and do an on the ground survey of what the public really thinks, I would gladly use my time to show you guys around and take you to the poorest places in the Capital City or anywhere just to get the facts right.
The money coming from oil. Could be used to pay off the debts caused by this present Govt. The IMF has devalued our currency and there is a need to bring it back to par or even better. Also, the people need good health care and better hospital systems. Better educational systems should be put in place so that the people can get involved with new development. Please remember we could learn from Trinidad they were learning about this kind of business a long time ago. Please do not allow the political leaders to do like the leaders in Pakistan have done. Keep the Judicial system independent of the Government. Be ready to put them in Jail when they steal the people's money.
Thanks gentlemen, for airing our dirty laundry to the world! Does it solve our problems? Possible investors will just turn their backs on us. This will neither help the current generation nor the future generations. We should have proper discussions at home that can lead to a better outcome for us all as a country.
With the 2.3 million subs you have i hope it helps to bring awareness. i really like what the guy said exxon is not here to help Guyana it is here for a profit. Imran Khan said training of fisher folk in case of a oil spill. wow
Guyana's population is small compared to its oil find and each person in Guyana should receive a check every month like Lybia's population who got free schooling from kindergarten to university free houses, good luck Guyanese. I hope the financial hitmen have not visited Guyana as yet.
One simple question here please can anyone please tell me has there ever been a time in the past when a Guyanese politician was tried for corruption and was sent to prison has that ever happened?
You will find your typical of Guyanese and humans (TRAINED SHEEP) in general who get upset when you call out INCOMPETENCE and point out things that just don't make sense....because "it will make their country look bad". So pointing out that a country and with a population include the all those in government and all those who hope to be in government within the country have a lack of knowledge, training or education to run the infrastructure in a country is a wrong thing? If the the people living in Guyana cant build a decent road, or build a small stadium (see the 50 th Independence Stadium Durban Park) to hold a few 1000 people properly without it looking like shit when completed, how are they going to over see a huge oil and gas corporation that even tries to screws over large western countries? There are is hardly anyone in Guyana that can do the basics on even small scale infrastructure, they have to call in an private consult / build company from another country to do everything. Most politicians are just administrators, why would these people even basic knowledge on oil and gas. The most they probably have in the country is a handful of people working under the government who have any clue on major infrastructure projects, much be able to keep track of a exploitative oil company that makes more than many small countries in GDP yearly.
There always has mass migrants guyanese to Trinidad and Tobago actual at present 25.440 illegal guyanese in T&T .the PM of T&T dr Rowley said the government is ready assists Guyana in their Oil discovery. Guyanese can be trained in Trinidad, for decades guyanese run to T&T to avoid poverty has cause our state millions of dollars as illegals don't pay tax contributing to 110.000 illegal immigrants in T&T therefore productive guyanese who has benefited from education and training in Trinidad can help in development in Guyana oil sector and infastucture
hay James carney, we will not come like Venezuela starving and have all that oil and neither Nigeria, you have been watching too many Africians pictures imposed on Guyana and saying that is Guyana, Guyanese are smart people.so no problem like that
You people out there should ask yourself ,why the people of Venezuela is starving.LET ME OPEN YOUR EARS AND EYES,IT IS THE USA AND ALLIES WHO BLOCKADE VENEZUELA AND ASSASSINATE CHAVEZ.TO TAKE THAT COUNTRY OIL BACK I MEAN STEAL. THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE DOING WORLDWIDE TO COLOR NATIONS.The Granger government is part and parcel who sold out the oil and gas the exxon mobile for payoff.
Will Guyana move Saudi Arabia and Venezuela into the oil market? Well, it would be a good opportunity for Guyana to have an economic development that will help it get out of poverty and become a powerful country. ✌
Guyana does not have an effective plan or constructive strategies to be prepared for this enormous oil windfall. Being unprepared will make it possible for a continuation of much corruption. There is a lot of skepticism among the people of Guyana because they have experience a history of poor governance since their independence. The government needs to set up a competent and effective committee to set up plans and subcommittees in place to deal with this economic tsunami. Exxon Mobil’s primary interest is its shareholders and profitability. Guyana’s responsibility is to protect its own interest. It’s a David and Goliath situation. ExxonMobil has its army of professionals both business and legal experts. Exxon Mobil is a veteran in the oil business. Guyana is a novice in this industry. Guyana needs to develop a skilled team of people to develop and manage the oil industry ably and effectively!
Did You all see what to Venezuela that was one of the most riches country in the Caribbean. Now they are the poorest no food or work there I hope these ppl in Guyana dont bring down the country bcz of greed.
Why don't you all let things take its course. God is in charge. The oil all of.you are making plans for can disappear. Stop talking and wish Guyana well. One step at a time, one day at a time. There is still a.lot to learn.
Guyana is in a pivotal moment, it can either go one way or the other. Everything else is pretty much futile at this point because the ball has already started rolling!
Legal framework in Guyana is too weak or they are absent. To me that is the first system that needs to be in place and trusted. May I add the current government has too many 'square pegs in circular holes'. Speaking of oil spill mitigation; there was 'a kinda' training at a popular leisure resort but that to me is for coconut oil spill. Exxon Mobil cann't be serious.
Guyana may not have gotten a good deal but most likely, most likely, individual ministers of government certainly got a good deal. In the entire Caribbean, ministers of government are milking these countries while the people hold on to empty election promises for the most part. Very few of the ministers are concerned about the economic development of the people.
ACBN we (Trinidadians) love hearing shit like this lol 😂 if it was a shit hole we wouldn’t have to deport Guyanese ppl by the plane loads..nothing against my Guyanese ppl by the way got luv for y’all..just proving a point to this scunt hole ACBN lol
We need to think long term on this oil wealth we are supposed to be getting, my suggestion is develop other industries from the sovereign wealth fund . This will create lots of jobs for example recycling factories , green energy etc!
Not *_"_*_ All African _*_"_* Natives are *Indians,* ramificated throughout _Latin America,_ both opressed by white ones *.* It should be Nationalist, not Dark Supremacy *.*
Every one has their rights, specially, those who were in _pré _*_-_*_ conquista_ times *.* USA its an multi etnic society, but their iimmigrants were wised ones, came in an prospective nation *.* Guyanas, Suriname were dumped with more poor slave labors, very few neerlanders or english remains there, making there an _"Far East"_ land *.* If Brazil annexed, at least, the French one, guess would be better for the *land,* like Alaska, but that had to be done an century ago, probably today, Natives were under FUNAI's radar, with their sacred land & rights; the state would be an remarkable tourism route, along with heavy mineral production, mid-currency, BRICS member *.*
Even if they do it badly it's still a shit ton of money. Look at desert countries where tribes made deals with oil companies and where they are now. Investing heavily in infrastructure should be easy.
On the basis of this conversation, one is left to logically conclude that this project is ill-prepared to commence. This project should be delayed until additional significant parameters are put in place to responsibly address the numerous concerns - economic, environmental, and local infrastructure.
I hope Guyana doesn't mess up the oil wealth like Trinidad has. Politicians have all wasted and squandered our oil wealth and most does not trickle down to the normal citizens. I hope Guyana doesn't let race and politics get in the way for development. Us Trinis are now in shit
A lot of information is either not shared or if available well hidden. What is important is the control of the revenue, and a clear sustainable development plan for when the boom goes on the low...shouldnt be feast or famine.Honesty in reporting the revenue etc etc. Trinidad suffered from massive corruption by the PNM govt that eventually lead to country to the IMF..also the projections have to be rather conservative given the continuing development of renewable energy resources.
luda Christ, you need correction, Guyana is not a poor nation but a middle income nation,which has a better standard of living than a lot of other south american nations,and east tern European nations.and it will be the richest nation per head in the Americas.
The international community can help guyana by pointing out corruption of our government. Media outlets can put pressure on the government to do right by the people. The oil spill issue is one way Jazeera is helping tight now
May I suggest that Guyana do what Alaska did with the oil revenues. Palin created a more egalitarian situation for all the people of Alaska by having all them receive a portion of the income no mater what economic situation they were instead of the Gov't. I'm not sure of all the details but it seems to me that everyone is quite comfortable with that. They use their money as they wish and if they blow it all one year they can always hope to do better the next year. They will in time learn and not be forced as slaves. Lots of love
🤦🏽♀️ Lord please help Guyana! I pray that wisdom will prevail. And those in authority need to put their egos aside and do what is right for the people of our country. I am tired of seeing the poor get poorer and the rich get richer. Hard working Guyanese yet no one cares. Parties going into power with promises they never keep. Show me the progress for all Guyanese and that you care about all people in the nation. Then you will have my attention.
Dear Femi, This is the second time I have watched this segment of Guyana. In the near future a same type of issue will appear in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 over Mannar oil basin , Kaveri basin, and Lanka basin through out the ocean teritory of the country. Please keep on eyes with this matter. Already China and India is in a battle with their investments over this country. Already US companies have signed an agreement for NSG Power project over the sea.Sri Lanka is rich with natural resources but they didnt make the benifit of it ever. Grafite , Phosphate , llmanite, Silica ,Granite and so many other valuable mineral resources already expot by certain foriegn companies in a bulky material context without any value added process in land. Country is in a real economic and socio political struggle at this moment. Curuption bleeding over the national body in a major scale. Keep in touch. Thank you.
The natural environment must be protected from oil pollution, and very heavy fines meted out for those who choose to disregard the environment. There is no excuse for oil on the beach ever. Too many executives talk about money and few give scant attention to the quality of the natural environment. Where there is money, corruption swiftly follows. A special independent task force needs to be created to monitor what is going on both in terms of what is visible on the ocean, and the deals and paperwork hidden in executives' safes.
This bickering between Imran and Chris just slows things down and causes confusion. At least give each other the gentlemanly respect to allow each other to speak. You're not here to moderate the discussion. That's the hosts' job.
As a Guyanese the oil is already curse, money from oil company already been given to the People National Congress secretly ,Mr eggball don’t know his ears from his elbows,speaking on behalf of the People National Congress,with two educated people,it shows eggball doltishness.
Best roads schools resort sport's facilities skyscrapers be just as any other first world country make it a place for business and a place people would want to work with
Oil money is unlikely to find its way to benefit the Guyanese people. It is more likely used to line the pockets of rich businessmen and politicians who care about number 1 and power alone. The oil company must be taxed and the tax money should go to where it is needed. Some ideas include: (i) hospitals; (ii) schools and universities: (iii) farming co-ops; (iv) cheap but high standard prefabricated housing; (v) jobs; (vi) basic social support; (vii) basic medical support. These are but a few of the opportunities available. The money should not be given to politicians, police or army.
Why don't you guys give the country a chance to properly develop and stop this bullshit discussion? For the first time in our history we will have sufficient money to do the things that is most needed. Like world class infrastructure, healthcare, education , security and more. Money is not that difficult to manage, just invest in what is most needed and rest is place in the bank. Stop this doomsday talk right now.
Guyana no need capitalism neither socialism.Guyana need middle ground government must be free to intervene when necessary for the good of it's people and the country businesses will always be just that business.
HELLO ALJAZEERA! Please go to GUYANA now....Guyana March 2nd, 2020 general elections is completed on the night of March 2, 2020 and currently Guyana is still waiting on an election result...despite having less than 600,000 voters. Today is April 4th, 2020.....

Excellent discussion. It is well known that Guyana is sadly suffering from 'brain drane': Their highly skilled and educated individuals have left the land of many waters in droves with no desire to return permanently. The coalition are trying their best under the circumstances but what is quite apparent and this valid point was made during this excellent discussion, they should definitely adopt and learn from East Timor. Secondly, I got the distinct impression during my recent travels, that many of the population believe that Guyana will transform overnight for the better, which it will not. There will be a trickle down effect that will take time and reserves need to be maximised before this Midas effect can be experienced. Lastly, due to the corruption, which is becoming excessively out of control, foreign investors will only utilise this territory as a fleeting base and as a consequence, the neighboring islands will benefit the most (I.e using their territories as a permanent base and fly domestically in and out of Guyana only when necessary). Inevitably and in order to avoid the corruption, plus also in the long term, it will work out to be a cheaper option for them. Alas, the properties being currently built in preparation for the foreign investors long term letting will initially feel the untoward negative effects of this. I am rooting for the coalition government to turn this around and make the decisions for Guyana and it's people plus implement legislation that will ward off any long term negative outcomes for the various committees, the environment and their citizens. I just hope that the country's vulnerability will not become their downfall. I could go on and on, as I experienced and observed so much but please, with compassion, integrity and wisdom, make Guyana great again!!

guyana is suffering from brain drain terribly
This government is pure failure..Exxon moblie is the worst thing to ever happen to Guyana.
This is where we always go wrong as a people, we built all civilization the world as ever seen . With good leadership we will be ok.
The statement that "there were NO negotiations to arrive at this contract" is a pretty interesting statement.
Born and raised in Guyana and I can safely say that we the Guyanese people are screwed we have seen all of this happen before in the Gold industry Governments in Guyana have a way of pouring monies into their ideals and funds and the money is never to be heard of or seen again.

Trinidad has ALL the training and help that can be had for Guyana.
Just watching this video gave me a headache, Men always wants to be fighting for power anyway they can get it....that's why nothing ever gets solved.
Education makes a nation! Health first! Protective eyes ward off corruption! All must benefit! Honestly is the best policy! Best wishes!👍🙏
Guyana's population is small compared to its oil find and each person in Guyana should receive a check every month like Lybia's population who got free schooling from kindergarten to university free houses, good luck Guyanese. I hope the financial hitmen have not visited Guyana as yet.
But most likely Guyana will be more Angola and Equatorial Guinea than Libya with the elite reaping the benefits and the people SOL.
Why this concern about jobs and not the entrepreneurial/partnership approach ?
Watch out from getting stripped blind by UK, US, FR. Work with VZ, Trinidad, Croatia, Brazil.
didnt we only get to keep 2% of the oil money?
Adriano Sverko Trinidad
@@rayanomar4832 bullshit. 2% is nothing compared to what there doing
One simple question here please can anyone please tell me has there ever been a time in the past when a Guyanese politician was tried for corruption and was sent to prison has that ever happened?
No not one has been jailed even though their ill gotten gains are flaunted openly for us (the working class) to see.
The fact that we are not building a oil refinery in Guyana means you are taking jobs away from your locals and that a bad move
I don't think the leaders are ready and can manage such development in Guyana and we as Guyanese wouldn't benefit much .
Guyana is ranked 91st on the 2017 Corruption Perceptions Index, so they are pretty corrupt. But hopefully it will still benefit the people.
So as the U.S.A.I live here and there many things hidden here not exposed to the media,no country is perfect
Alas in corrupt countries the people will not benefit and greedy people will destroy the country.

If Brazil annexed, at least, the French one, guess would be better for the *land,* like Alaska, but that had to be done an century ago, probably today, Natives were under FUNAI's radar, with their sacred land & rights; the state would be an remarkable tourism route, along with heavy mineral production, mid-currency, BRICS member *.*
3 years later your answer is nooo :)
The only people the oil boom will benefit are those who work in it. And that would be a handful.
With all the GREED going around. Guyana will like a next Nigeria but in South America.
OIL will make Guyana POORER not RICHER: ruclips.net/video/YRUM4yd0_Kk/видео.html
At best. At worst, Guyana will be another Angola or Equatorial Guinea.
Even if they do it badly it's still a shit ton of money. Look at desert countries where tribes made deals with oil companies and where they are now. Investing heavily in infrastructure should be easy.
The politicians can talk as much as they like. But this country is dependent on the first world countries and their prosperity.
Why the Guyana govt sent Imran Khan and not a govt minister?
Once politicians don't full their pockets first, then the country will succeed.
Too many case studies out there, three of which border us, for us not to get this right.
No, it will benefit the corrupt officials and their families.
Like every other kleptocracy.
Viva Palestina ("Long live Palestine")
Okay if you say so
Wow one of the poorest country in which south america
Another country that socialism destroyed.
The investment should firstly be in education
Same thing that has / is happening with foreign gold miners who are raping the country due to lack of experts on the part of Guyana.
On the basis of this conversation, one is left to logically conclude that this project is ill-prepared to commence. This project should be delayed until additional significant parameters are put in place to responsibly address the numerous concerns - economic, environmental, and local infrastructure.
These three jokers proved to the world the struggle of this Dear Land of Guyana. 😕
I hope Guyana doesn't mess up the oil wealth like Trinidad has. Politicians have all wasted and squandered our oil wealth and most does not trickle down to the normal citizens. I hope Guyana doesn't let race and politics get in the way for development. Us Trinis are now in shit

A lot of information is either not shared or if available well hidden. What is important is the control of the revenue, and a clear sustainable development plan for when the boom goes on the low...shouldnt be feast or famine.Honesty in reporting the revenue etc etc. Trinidad suffered from massive corruption by the PNM govt that eventually lead to country to the IMF..also the projections have to be rather conservative given the continuing development of renewable energy resources.
Apparently they’re taking steps by creating a Sovereign Wealth Fund.
luda Christ, you need correction, Guyana is not a poor nation but a middle income nation,which has a better standard of living than a lot of other south american nations,and east tern European nations.and it will be the richest nation per head in the Americas.
Guyana is the 3rd poorest country in the Americas. Only Nicaragua and Haiti are poorer.
The international community can help guyana by pointing out corruption of our government. Media outlets can put pressure on the government to do right by the people. The oil spill issue is one way Jazeera is helping tight now
May I suggest that Guyana do what Alaska did with the oil revenues. Palin created a more egalitarian situation for all the people of Alaska by having all them receive a portion of the income no mater what economic situation they were instead of the Gov't. I'm not sure of all the details but it seems to me that everyone is quite comfortable with that. They use their money as they wish and if they blow it all one year they can always hope to do better the next year. They will in time learn and not be forced as slaves. Lots of love
Everyone.
🤦🏽♀️ Lord please help Guyana! I pray that wisdom will prevail. And those in authority need to put their egos aside and do what is right for the people of our country. I am tired of seeing the poor get poorer and the rich get richer. Hard working Guyanese yet no one cares. Parties going into power with promises they never keep. Show me the progress for all Guyanese and that you care about all people in the nation. Then you will have my attention.
Dear Femi,
This is the second time I have watched this segment of Guyana. In the near future a same type of issue will appear in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 over Mannar oil basin , Kaveri basin, and Lanka basin through out the ocean teritory of the country. Please keep on eyes with this matter. Already China and India is in a battle with their investments over this country. Already US companies have signed an agreement for NSG Power project over the sea.Sri Lanka is rich with natural resources but they didnt make the benifit of it ever. Grafite , Phosphate , llmanite, Silica ,Granite and so many other valuable mineral resources already expot by certain foriegn companies in a bulky material context without any value added process in land. Country is in a real economic and socio political struggle at this moment. Curuption bleeding over the national body in a major scale. Keep in touch. Thank you.
The natural environment must be protected from oil pollution, and very heavy fines meted out for those who choose to disregard the environment. There is no excuse for oil on the beach ever. Too many executives talk about money and few give scant attention to the quality of the natural environment. Where there is money, corruption swiftly follows. A special independent task force needs to be created to monitor what is going on both in terms of what is visible on the ocean, and the deals and paperwork hidden in executives' safes.
Guyana will get worse with oil
there is no framework and this government is lost ..
hi James cartney, embrace latin emerician culture so we can come like venezuela,bankrup and starving.
Guyana es de Venezuela
This bickering between Imran and Chris just slows things down and causes confusion. At least give each other the gentlemanly respect to allow each other to speak. You're not here to moderate the discussion. That's the hosts' job.
As a Guyanese the oil is already curse, money from oil company already been given to the People National Congress secretly ,Mr eggball don’t know his ears from his elbows,speaking on behalf of the People National Congress,with two educated people,it shows eggball doltishness.
Best roads schools resort sport's facilities skyscrapers be just as any other first world country make it a place for business and a place people would want to work with
Oil money is unlikely to find its way to benefit the Guyanese people. It is more likely used to line the pockets of rich businessmen and politicians who care about number 1 and power alone. The oil company must be taxed and the tax money should go to where it is needed. Some ideas include: (i) hospitals; (ii) schools and universities: (iii) farming co-ops; (iv) cheap but high standard prefabricated housing; (v) jobs; (vi) basic social support; (vii) basic medical support. These are but a few of the opportunities available. The money should not be given to politicians, police or army.
The only Guyanese people that the oil money will benefit are those who work in the industry. Aside from that, just businessmen and the government.
Imran the Politician.
Talkshop , Guyana ain't getting nothing
When people look back to this panel they will say no black people lived in Guyana? Raaaant
Why don't you guys give the country a chance to properly develop and stop this bullshit discussion? For the first time in our history we will have sufficient money to do the things that is most needed. Like world class infrastructure, healthcare, education , security and more. Money is not that difficult to manage, just invest in what is most needed and rest is place in the bank. Stop this doomsday talk right now.
Guyana no need capitalism neither socialism.Guyana need middle ground government must be free to intervene when necessary for the good of it's people and the country businesses will always be just that business.
Guyana already did socialism which led it to its current dismal state of affairs.
guyana was on the move long b4 oil ok since 4year back it on the rise
Corruption in highest and low puppets government places
