OIL IS EITHER A CURSING OR A BLESSING.I PRAY THAT OURS WILL BE A BLESSING TO ALL LIBERIANS.LONG LIVE OUR DEAR MOTHER LAND.
There is no discovery of oil along West Africa but the expliotation of the oil belt that runs along the coast of the entire region that oil executives knew about for decades but did not care to built rigs till now due to the unstable situations of the middle east Lets not fool ourselves,the oil valtures are looming over West Africa and if we are not careful to choose rightly between the Nigerian and Ghanian models of exploitation,we will not benefit and this bonansa could definitely be a curse. In the case of Liberia,the largest oil block is located of the coast of Sinoe County.
