Forever cool I see u have nothing negative to say about Africa today (thumbs up). Or have I spoken too soon?

Lol , I'm a township boy from the city - that's why I look tired. Not used to these things.

ChopAndGo:
Government will claim everything.

TMKsouth:


It will depend on who owns that land. If it's the govt then they are obliged to invest in the community with the proceeds.

ChopAndGo:
Every land in a country belongs to the Government, they decide to use it anytime they wish to.

So who own the lands that have Crude oil in Nigeria?

The provincial government has since requested all those involved to leave the site to allow authorities to conduct a proper inspection, amid fears the people digging at the site could potentially be spreading the coronavirus.

Bifwoli:
These are just broken pieces of glass its not diamonds.

I wish they'd work harder to improve their lives instead of depending on luck.

South Africa... Why not invent a machine with good sensor that can detect the stones in the ground instead of doing trial and error digging?
