Tragically,both Peter and Thom are in a group of obsequious ignoramus.They are not thinking through their heads but rather,through their asses.Can these two uninformed fools mention one oil-producing State in Africa that has developed its nation to the economic benefit of the masses of its people? In Nigeria,the fourth largest producer of oil in the world,with 200 million people in population,are mostly intensively poor,but their nation and a handful of their political leaders,in one respect at least,are fabulously wealthy.Heart-breakingly,exports of Nigerian crude oil generates revenues of tens of billions of dollars each year.Apart from thefty in oil Industry,another source of… Read more »

Mr Author trickle down economics is utterly an imagination. You have gat to realise that there is a gap between fantasy and reality. All what I’m saying is that I don’t allow your excitement or frustration about the subject matter swamp your reasoning abilities. Trickle down economics that is being glorified here only works on the paper not the other way round, in fact, the evidence around the world (including the economic powerhouse, USA) support this premise. Worse still, our establishment is far from supporting your position with respect your trickle down assertion. I think its high time we realise… Read more »

A Thom zijazi kumaona , do you really see the light at the end of the tunnel to your children? With this leadership of thieves? I thought you are capable to tackle issues like you have been doing, alas! Unless we change the government, the oil issues will be nothing for us but these nonsense people you call them leaders. You can’t you see how hungry they are on poor people like ogogo wako omwe amangova zoti kuli atsogoleri koma mbava zokhazokha? Man, not with DPP led Government, wake up Thomu, sinthawi yomagona ino, bwanji mwakhuta mphonda mwayamba kale kuyiwala… Read more »

There are a number of issues I see this article carelessly asserts and ends up losing the credibility I have always held Tom Chiumia with as a writer. The emotional tone risks the objectivity the article should have courted.

Well, what a rosy future you project for Malawi! What about corruption though? Malawi can’t even manage money citizens pay into tax. Even worse, it is as hard as a camel going through the eye of a needle to bring cases of corruption to their legal conclusion. Look at Muluzi’s case or Chilumpha’s case, maizegate, and other cashgate cases in the system or Njauji’s case or Chasowa’s case, etc; where is justice? Without justice you can’t expect oil drilling alone to inject the badly needed cash into the miserable lives of Malawians and their economy. Besides, Malawi has the curse… Read more »

This of course based on the assumption that there are no other chaponda’s in government, otherwise all the money will benefit ministers of the government of the day and not our poor grandparents in the villages.

I don’t believe this will indeed benefit ordinary Malawians , Think of Kayelekera what have we benefited from it

Such unbridled optimism must reflect the victory of naivety over experience. Ask the people of the Niger Delta how much their lives have ‘improved’ since the exploitation of their oil resources began.

You are pointing very far. Karonga’s uranium is a good example
