PG-Rating: This isn’t a convo for cooking oil or anything close to it

And also, this is not about how this particular oil forms up in the ground….that process just might be too long for this post of ours
I strongly suggest you do some Googling on your own

We will be talking about the oil itself and Uganda
Many of us have been hearing about this liquid that was discovered in our mama-land
We haven’t seen a drop of it, though
Many of us are worried that we many never see a drop of it, with the way things are going in mama-land, these days

Some of us have started asking kweshans like does this oil thing exist, for real?
Is this another scam from our elders to us, the yute?
Is this another way to get us calm about the injustices that are happening to us?

All we’ve seen in the papers, year in year out, are news that contracts and MOU’s (whatever those mean) are being signed with all these multi-national companies
For them to assist us with safe and better ways of exploring our oil
To construct all this stuff, where our oil shall be transported to God knows where
In the future….which we don’t know about

Eeehhhh….too many questions
So few answers, as usual
The state of the world all over
We would love to leave you with a couple kweshans, ourselves

Is Oil-ing in Uganda or
Is somebody oil-ing Uganda for bigger things?
Interesting. Thanks for sharing
You’re welcome, Tren!
oh this is interesting. I’m actually currently working on an article talking about oil pollution in the ocean
Aaaahhhh….you don’t say? It’ll be a great one, Audrey! Thanks for appreciating.
“Too many questions, few answers indeed”. I pray you discover ” real oil” soon and let Uganda be better for it
My prayer, Debbie! Thanks for sharing.
This is interesting and thought provoking. Hopefully you get answers soon!
?? Kristina! Thanks sweetie.
It is sad when big companies get involved, they leave out the public and worry about nothing but lining their pockets. I am sorry they are doing this to your country.
Yyyeeaaahhhh…it’s just so sad!
Hope you get answers to all of the questions, this is surely concerning …
Great article Friend, keep it up !!
Hhhmmmmm….I do hope so too, Neha!
Oh wao this is very interesting. Big companies don’t care about the civilians. Start making business with your nations oil and natural resources. I hope that you get your answers. You deserve them.
?? you said it all, Jessica!
I hope that you’ll be able to get some answers soon. It sounds to me (just my opinion) that the oil is not being used to benefit Uganda.
??? your opinion is the utmost truth, Bill!
Thought provoking! Also, the images in this post are incredible.
?? thank you!
It’s all just so political these days and it’s really hard to say what’s REALLY going on. Sadly there are SO MANY secrets in societies!
??? to which we, the poor, bear the biggest brunt!
Good questions but sadly, when big companies are involved, who really knows what’s going on…
??? they never care about “us”!
This is such an eye-opener! Thanks for this!!
?? you’re welcome.
I hope they actually drill the oil and really use the profits to benefit the country. I know that may not happen but we can always hope, right?
?? yeah, we can! I truly hope for the best!
Everyone should always be leary about the motives of big oil. They are always looking to pull the wool over the peoples’ eyes.
??? and hence, everybody that isn’t rich suffers!
It’s not easy to deal with the big companies who steal from the civilians. This was an interesting post.
Yyyeeaaahhhh….it’s so heartbreaking! That has to change, though. That is not the “normal”!
oil companies come in and take so much away from the places. it’s so sad but i don’t know what we can do.
??? me too!
Wow! This is very politically informative. Thanks for letting me know. There’s so much to learn in your region.
?? you’re welcome.
i hope you can get some answers soon!

Hopefully you get answers soon. I can see how this is concerning.

It’s quite sad if you think about it. All those big shot companies all just focus on the money. Interesting read and such an eye-opener too.
Yyyeeeaaahhhhh….sometimes, I feel like just forgetting about it all but the truth is, I just can’t do it.
