I am a Guyanese and I live in Guyana. Do your research well. NO GUYANESE is receiving $464 dollars per month. The government promise a one time payment for this year of that amount but it has not been paid as yet. I hate seeing such lies in the media but then again is the money being allocated and not being paid? 🤔

[@amitajitan6116]

Yess you are right .and sur will start 2028 . So the press speaks all things what they like .oops

[@yasminjahoor5443]

My dear we would've known if the money is being allocated but the Govt is telling the world that Guyanese are benefiting from the oil money to make the world think that they are taking care of Guyanese whereas it's the opposite and the world will know now they are telling lies

Greetings from Suriname, don't take the president seriously

[@IconicPotionz]

You are one of those people that doesnt keep up with what is happening in the world do you. If you hate it so much then move to Europe. Santokhi has made Suriname become a BRICS observer in a short time, he befriended the big players of the world who is willing to help Suriname thrive. I bet you don't even know what BRICS even is. He is doing really well but he will be blamed for the mess that the last leader left behind that he is fixing. You people complain but act like monkeys who do not know how to open a banana

The promise made by the Surinamese president to make the oil wealth available to all citizens through a royaltiesplan sounds ambitious. It could be a huge opportunity for the country’s development, provided it is executed transparently and fairly. However, the people must be able to count on a prosperous economy, where the proceeds genuinely benefit individual citizens. Success depends on proper implementation, responsible oil exploitation, and effective management of the wealth to create sustainable prosperity for everyone.
