Such Sensationalist Tripe…

1) This rather insignificant discovery was made in 2011, and is now being spun in 2012 by the TnT Government to a ludicrous degree. Even technocrats have warned the TnT Government that spinning this as an “Oil Boom” (as some stupid UNC sycophants have) is irresponsible. The discovery of millions of barrels of oil is not even noteworthy, where billion barrel finds are often commonplace.

2) There will be no more dollars for Trinidad to roll in since in recent years, projected oil revenues have continually fallen short, hence the focus on Natural Gas since the early 2000’s.

3) The hype surrounding this find contradicts the present Government of TnT’s promise of diversification.

In other words this is much ado about nothing.

A Government veering on Political Stability – such as the current PP Partnership – will use any ole thing to distract and fool people. It would be good to take their every pronouncement with grains of salt. As for this supposedly great find, ask the technocrats or any economist worth their salt the difference this is supposed to make. TnT plays with a budget in excess of $50bill, this find will hardly make a difference. In fact one respected Economist suggested it *might* add revenues of $150m. No one even knows the correct figures yet so to spin this as some new great discovery that will launch further Trinidadian Investment in the region (God forbid right? lolol ) is naive.

This is just ridiculous PR from a desperate Government.

Relevance to this post…….Passing through

FACT: NEW OIL DEPOSITS DISCOVERED IN T&T…..(this yr or last yr irrelevant)…maybe we can get some @ a cheap price

……much ado about nothing …Shakespeare stuff

@ ac and !
Pleasant Good Friday morn..
If Kellman and now Bobby were truly the men for the mission…Barbadian fisher folk would have had money in their pockets this Good Friday morning and WE not eating brumswick bloated jacks fit for the cat. Tell me ac had these men been skilled and sliddery like a true bajan conga eel..pardon the expression…..now they want to send a natural GAS pipe line..is time to barter for flying fish rights of passage don’t you think ? Kaymala getting away with murder….and we wid empty nets and dwindling bank accounts. What does two fishes mean to an oil rich country anyway ?
Freundel……..so wait nutting in dis deal fa we ?

AAH boy how could we find a way to get Trinidad and Tobago riches. We tried the fishing thing / law of the seas at the UN court and failed, CCJ has no power. We keep complaining Trinidad and Tobago not fair and get no sympathy. We tried the Red jet Irish camouflage trick on the trini and got burned with cheaps flights from Guyana with planeloads of people looking for jobs and no money to spend. Ahh boy GOD is a TRINI

Onions

Listen my man these jokers at Banks Holdings din shouting Barbados first when they went a dilute the share holding of Barbadians by selling off a sizable portion of the company to Latin Capital. I have NO sympathy for those f#cks. I challenge you to find one ex-ployee of Banks that will speak favourably of that hell hole …! As far as I am concerned every cent that they stand to mek out of Trinidad they could shove straight up their royal %&*&$&s. It amazes me that Allan Fields and Neville Nicholls could be knighted (actually it doesn’t, but I thought it would mek the argument look a little more right of centre …!)

I second you on that BAFBP – what the ****##@&** fields and nichols do to get that knighthood.Soon Miss howard cat might get one too – fuh real.

Neville nichols has done not one jot to assist consumers at the FTC – BIG BLOATED IDIOT and yet he still dey warming a seat.Steupes.

Like Bajan reacting….to the BNB Bank now Trinidad Republic Bank… SIGNS…taken down over the weekend…. vocal concerns on Brass Tacks program this morning, we not gettin no flyin fish..T&T banning our PHD products…..I cuttin and pastn from Article above…
…………………………………………………..
“The implications for Barbados…..much more T&T investors will be coming our way to buy out our troubled capital assets. How does Trinidad & Tobadoes sound fellas ? Given our uncertainties…..it’s a good possibility.”

Onions….on the ball again.

Onions ……. got to start marrying the Trinis….that seems the only legal way to get you foot in.

Sorry Onion I ent nuh Trini …LOLLL

@ David
Did the MOF in this No ball Budget not plan to offer up 13 of BANOC and two other state own Co. to offer up for privatization ?

…….yet again ….you missed my point..or you seek to give me another..by the way is not PHD owned by the Trinidadians already ?

@ islgal
Aliens seek to marry…I already born here for when all the trouble gine start..know the undergrounds too..

@ David
What a most unfair comment above….polarizing a Govt policy to my party. Look my dear fellow in this last Budget speech was it not MOF Chris Sinckler who made a point that he will be informing the FSC to make the necessary arrangement to put up as offering on the SE…13 of BNOC, GAIIA and worst of all the Bdos Port Authority…..or was I dreaming and running in my sleep like a sheep dog ?

On a lesser point ..visited B’Town today and saw the much talked about Republic Bank signs….fa real, they do look quite ominous on Broad St….of note however, was the ATM machines which were much more conspicuous at eye level…they did not bear the name Republic Bank…but one …”BLUE MACHINES”…what D rassta fari is this a third bank now ….or diff sock ?

Just know how to shift the goal post now do we…..Why were we not talking about the ole famous blame game that some have master so well..like who was responsible …..But NO…..flip the script…If not Republican………Next time flip me a sardine omelet, maybe then, I might be better able to read and palate have expectations…All banks are not the same…..especially when there are so many Bajan workers that can be sent home…..by whim and fancy…less we forget Almond Beach. Contemplate that .
