We all have learningto do.
Preconceived notions are not good. Assumptions, are not good. Etc.
Corrupt cannot see the future. Or can and intend for the negative effects. It isn't worry about some things. It doing one's best. God knows, life is and can be hard. That things happen. Etc.
Everything is a work in progress,. Everything takes time. Knowing for sure, etc. Fear not only believe and do ones best in what ever industry, and some industries prove to not be beneficial, and it is noted. Nations can be accused of purposefully spreading things, nations have no idea, until it comes to their attention. No one should assume, trust but verify. It is important in doing good that does good by other industries. Etc. Life flourishes better.
Corruptions know how corruptions affect things and many see how much is connected.
Human beings are human beings, that is known. It's the wrong things, that are not necessary.
We cannot let our guard down, on the good. Becuz we do not get breaks. And there are corruptions, divisiveness, that looses its way, in the good and has to get back on track with the good, unfortunately we have the ones that whisper and cause problems, mislead, etc. And that doesnot benefit any industry.
Professionalism, has no room, for divisiveness. Etc when being investigated, take pride, persevere, God doesn't chastise, those he does not love. Fear not only believe, as long as you are doing good and right. Feel loved, persevere through, be proven, you do good. We go through it all, all of the time. When not doing wrong, we are still scrutinized in Aviation and various industries. Very few things, used to go unnoticed and we are more and more global, with more and more expectations, to not loose faith. We see the work of the founders, what they have developed, Blessed, etc. That is not dismissals when it is good. Changes happen and the good that is done gets proven. All just need to not take the investigations negatively personal, I usually welcome, it I know if there is honesty and integrity, I am proven.
We cannot prevent every storm, or bad thing, and we cannot say we can. When God, and ourselves, keeps us humble, we truly understand that. 🙏…
There are various different, industries, that must work in a way consistent with professional expectations, of any industry. The holistic and natural also. All affect one another. It is not all or one thing, it is many things. All must in every industry, work to the best of their ability, inside the professional facets of industries. That do when things run right, do benefit one another, in all things, much more lucrative, beneficial for all. We flourish as human beings that way. We can be happy, proud in our industry, Not a perverted pride. A good feel good pride. All can feel good about.
It is true that money can corrupt, through many can learn, it can also Bless. Fears, etc cause issues as too, actions. These things, we as human beings, too often learn from. Too unfortunately, the hard way. That is very sad, effects human beings. The only way forward, is to do things right, and earn the trust, if there is something we do not know is to reach out to others who do know. Giving respect, etc. The investors, are vested, in the returns, also. In huge very expensive, start ups, etc the investors, afford the opportunities, to begin such projects. I am sure not all aware of their investors. That is a good part of the transparency. So people know. The people Are not left in the dark, basically meet their investors, usually indirectly. Once the start ups begin, it is important people see and understand, the expense, planning,preparation, for unseen times, just a couple of examples, elections, wars, storms, mechanical failures, things most people undersrand. Examples in cost, profit margin, beyond expense, and so the people understand, they are included, a part of the development and things do take time. There has been a great deal of investment in Africa, on a extremely small scale, for me, since 1968, and when somethings come back it can be very hurtful, and we do rely upon the functioning, actions of others. In these kinds of things. It doesn't mean people won't make mistakes. That is human. People's families are very important too. They the ones working so hard in the things, do not get all of the money. They answer to investors, have high stress, with little time for their own lives. There is no need for disruptions, that do not benefit the nation as intended, or extenf beyond, in the continent. And eventually further, was the original USA model. Good that overflows. With many issues, fluctuations, not just people mistakes, even oil itself, can have off days. Or ad the world has seen oil rig accidents. It is a universal, effect, on the entire industry. Especially with expense, lives lost, etc. Everyone wants to do good. Wants to show the good it is. It is important to all lives. Many changes take place. Many human beings are very important. It isnt just trying to make people do one thing or another, it is in keeping the trust. It is very important even supposed competitors, work inside a professional, ethical, expectations of the inner workings and holding the trust.
Nigeria had some very bad, untrue rumors reach their ears. Their lack of knowledge and confidense allowed some to believe. In Aviation I personally have had the great opportunity, to meet people from different nationalities, including but not limited to, Nigeria. We had conversations about some of the rumors. Some very unfortunate rumors. Regarding the USA, ETC. Most recently also about China, and the covid virus. Etc. Very hurtful things, regarding human lives, some things we have witnessed, a to z first hand, making the rumors even more hurtful, for any nation.
Oil is clearly a global nessesity, but did you how oil is produced by our father earth? Black Gold is the residue of earth core, this crued oid was produce by non stop burning of every earth element around and inside of the earth core, this residue was travelling at every earth cracked beneath earth surface, sea bed and at ocean bed. I called them stream line and these line are scattered at every continent on earth. It was like your car engine on motion non stop burning and you find out the residue of your car change oil is creud oil, only it was low in minerals because it already refined when you fill your car tank w/it.
Documentary way too bias. Please this is why people hate the US
Skallywags😂 is that what name you've given yourselves 😂
The greed in this world will eventually lead to it's demise!!!
What a mistake. These people from Texas will be taking advantage of this country very shortly!
Around 15:54 the oil man from Texas can barely smile.
Interesting to see that when you have oil underneath your piece of land you tend to think that the money is better in your pocket than in those of a government.
African chiefs and leaders are the downfall of Africans, and this goes all the way back to the slave trade era. They deliberately sold their own people to the white man for their own interest. The white man did not just sailed to africa and started packing Africans on the boat. They were buying them from chiefs and kings before it all got out of hand.
how now…
Those people are economic hitman , ghana is their next target they will destroy it like they did in several others country that has oil , i see bkackrock implicated those guy want to maximize profit regardless of social and environmental cost , see bp example in nigeria , wake up , review the deal , review the contract , let it be a win win partner ship , or they will enslave ghana economically
It was said in the beginning the possibility of making billions of dollars and then they donate 10,000 dollars to the educational fund😮😊
I caught a job in the field they have outlined back in '98. It must have been closer to the bank cause it was a jackup rig. I displaced the drill stem twice for DSTs, over displaced the well twice and blew the bushings out of the rotary both times. No one said a word, no one was hurt. If I'd been in the states they'd have run me off the first time.
Fantastic documentary.
This is a scam for Ghana 🇬🇭 people who don’t know the truth
Once man becomes richer and all the money are deposited in a Dallas bank wallet, after 25 years all the money that have been deposited will be transferred in onother Americans accounts and the wealth of Ghana will disappear 😂😂😂😂😂 and the people will still be poor and have worked for free😢😢😢😢😢
