So, you support the US taking over their oil and selling it? Your head don knock ground but you know it not!
Clo- mentality has stifled your cognitive development indeed. I doubt you were created in Gods image.


Fiscus105:
Let me tell you fact,......the money Venezuela citizens will be enjoying from the sale being spare headed by USA, will be by far higher than, the one they are enjoying wen Maduro their own was there.


Which enjoyment are citizens seeing from Nigeria Oli sales and excessive tax? If USA and UK come today to oversee it, citizens will enjoy far more than this.

If father is unable to take care of his household, definitely concubine will come in to do his duty.

Whilst ExxonMobil says they would not be returning to Venezuela.
Their investments were confiscated and nationalized by Venezuela decades ago. They are looking for guarantees hence the skepticism. They will get back some of the lost investments and will certainly fall in line.

There would be no guarantees.

A country should have sovereignty just as US does.

Remember, Trump tears up agreements he makes himself.

Made a country useless then swooped in to run all its affairs. The US gentrifying a nation the way they treat housing. Make our leaders no allow them do the same thing here. I know the benefit of the masses is not their concern. Having a place to call home is my major concern. I do not like the thought of colonization.

Sometimes I wonder, do these guys even sleep? They're just working 24/7. In NIgeria, before you get attention in a government office, it could take days.

Re: US Sells First Batch Of Venezuelan Oil, Makes $500M by GloriousGbola: 11:59am On Jan 15
Sounds like a trump made up story. Who did they sell the oil to? Who signed up to lift oil in less than a week?
You have a meeting with oil execs and two days later, you are lifting 500m worth of oil? I call bs.

Many Nigerians have mental problems, don't take them too seriously. Avoid discussing important topics with them, they think like children with Stockholm syndrome.

So we should love local thieves and loath international thrives?
the truth is Nigerian oil is not even there to steal. Have you wondered why we still import oil?

Buhari borrowed funds with future if that oil. And the government renew it to another level. There is no oil currently. The Niger delta is been cheated

No, it will be used in running Venezuela and expanding exploration and revamping old oil wells. Venezuelans are expecting diversification and expansion of investment in the country.

Sanctions will be lifted. Socialism is dead in Venezuela. Prosperity at last.
no oga trump said during the White House press conference that the money has been put in an offshore account for the USA . I was shocked watching the video So much for helping Venezuelans .

If another president tried it on another country, d US would have waged war on him and his country. They did so to Saddam Hussein, now they are commiting same crime. God will judge Trump
Re: US Sells First Batch Of Venezuelan Oil, Makes $500M by nairalanda1(m): 12:16pm On Jan 15
It's kind of sad seeing people on this thread and the way they discuss

On the one side, you got the antigovernment people, who are not only happy that a nation is essentially selling another nation's patrimony and pocketing the money, but they also want the same for Nigeria, and excuse their idea as being 'they steal oil money in nigeria'. It's like they think that America is a benevolent naiton. There is no such thing...no nation is benevolent, all act in their interest.

On the government supporter side, you have the government people gloating and mocking the concerns of those who say our oil money is being stolen, while not waking up to the fact that their party and leader's misgovernance has led to american intervention, and is leading to the US taking over our country. They are so happy their man is in charge that they are ready to excuse bad government and bad security.

Both of them make me sick. Honestly.
