“This country is rich because it found oil. The people speak English there and they have lots of trees.” I feel like the video should go a bit deeper than this.
You forgot to mention how the Guyanese people are being played into thinking they will benefit from oil
There is growth yes, but is the growth relevant if we have like 15% inflation
@@mrhappyman6928 Yes, inflation goes hand in hand with growth and as long as it's manageable, inflation doesn't do anything because wages can adjust to it.
As long as you have strong unions and uncorrupt politicians.
As a Surinamese 🇸🇷 I'm closely watching how our neighbor Guyana is rising with its fastest-growing economy in 2024 due to oil. Meanwhile, our prices in the supermarket are increasing day by day. We used to be one of the wealthiest countries, with things not as expensive as they are now. Like Guyana, we have a lot of natural resources. I wish them continued success and hope that we also get the opportunity to thrive 🇬🇾 ❤ 🇸🇷
@@Ezzy_Boyn don’t waste your breath. Things expensive here too. We hope there are some level of price controls.
@@Ezzy_Boyn
Guyana and Suriname should be one
@@adrianbristol4392 I don't think that will work out.
Example: in what country will the capital be?
Dih capital? On dih bordah.
3 peas in a pod, The Guyanas
As a Guyanese 🇬🇾. It is soo sad that the video is only 4 minutes and 17 seconds. There is so much more that you can talk about. You sold the country short
This is average for video length for this channel. Yes of course you could talk about this or any country for hours
You guyanese are always complaining about something. How about u take that same energy and kick out the corrupted president and vice minister out of office, two of the most Corrupted people in the country right now. I suggest u go watch vice news and ask why the American government is sanctioning their friends and have a microscope on its governmental officials ..
Ungrateful
@@danieldowding You Guyanese complain about everything
@andersonbin265 you must be an expert. Let me give you your flowers. Well done.
Guyana - where the best rum in the world is made!
I live in Guyana and it is very nice in Guyana. As a proud Guyanese i love My country
@@Isabella-b6b6h hi
Although English is the official language of Guyana most people in the country speak Guyanese Creole,
How about Dutch?
@@kasongo-weweThat would be Suriname
Guyana also have the most masjid/mosque per capita in the western hemisphere
well as a Guyanese I did not know we has the higest personal income in south america good to know, but of course they will show we eating from rubbish dumps with africian pictures as part of Guyana
A few months ago i came to know that 40% of Guyanese 🇬🇾 population (including President Ali) and 30% of Suriname's 🇸🇷 population is of Indian 🇮🇳 origin.
@@d02v The British brought our ancestors from India as indentured laborers. The British used India to continue their exploitation. Now we are ruling them.❤️
why you mention it? we are Guyanese ok
@@amazonwarrior7126 why it bother you? He’s absolutely correct
@@d02v Indians came to Guyana 200 years after Africans were brought there in chains as slaves during slavery.
@@amazonwarrior7126 bro it's nothing to do with you these unemployed Indians will found Indian proud from anything 😂😂😂
Fun fact : Guyana is the oldest settlement of South and North America:35000 years ☠️
In South America Guyana,French Guiana and Suriname are the forgotten ones
forgotten by who?
The three countries were once lumped as ‘The Guianas’, Guyana (British Guiana), Suriname (Dutch Guiana) and French Guiana which remains the same.
2:01 I forgot english speakers are taught south america is another continent
@The Geography Bible, just a correction. Our Head of State is not our Prime Minister but our President, Dr. Irfan Ali. Guyana operates on a Unilateral parliament system. As such, the Prime Minister doesnt hold as much standing in govern. The President overlooks the country and the Prime Minister is second to the President. It is striking that you missed this in research my friend. Do better. Love from Guyana 🇬🇾 abd visit when you can ❤🇬🇾🙌
@@danieldowding Thanks for the heads up as I thought the Guyanese PM was the leader of the government with executive power similar to Jamaica,Trinindad and most of the other caribbean countries.
Do y'all speak Dutch?
@@tauceti8060 you are welcome. Many may find so but no, the President is the Head of state and head of government 🙌🙌🙌
@@kasongo-wewe hi. No. I am from Guyana or English/British Guiana before independence. The Dutch Guiana or country you speak of is Suriname, our neighbour to the east. They have close relations with the Netherlands. God's blessing
Since when ali is a dr
what about cricket, specifically shamar joseph
Carl Hooper, Clive Lloyd, shivnarine chanderpaul, ramnaresh sarwan, Erin king, Rohan Kanhai, Romario shepherd, shimron Hetmyer, Gudakesh Motie, Sherfayne Rutherford, Keemo Paul and the list goes on….all from Guyana
the Falklands islands:
am I a joke to you for saying Guyana is the only english speaking country?
Falkland Islands is not an independent country but a British territory.
@@shauncameron8390
therefore britain is in south America also, yes
Cricket, cricket and more cricket is all I know about Guyana
It's great that Guyana has such enormous oil reserves they can tap into to grow their economy. It makes it far less likely that they would look to timber as a revenue source, thus preserving the forests and their ecosystems. This is so cool, because the more oil based fuels are used, the more carbon get added to the atmosphere. Plants need carbon like animals and humans need oxygen go survive. The more carbon in the atmosphere, the heslthier the earths vegetation becomes. This in return adds more oxygen to the atmosphere through photosynthesis. It's a win, win, win, situation.
That is not how it works. The more oil burned, the worst it is for the planet because that carbon that you mentioned is EXCESS, its not natural and the plants can’t keep up with the rate of burning fossil fuels (oil in this case) and carbon traps heat making the planet rapidly hotter (climate change). The only difference with Guyana is that its forest preservation makes for a strong carbon sink therefore as a country, they can drill all their oil reserves while still being a net 0 country because said forest preservation. It doesn’t help the world in terms of climate change sure, but Guyana has every right to use their natural resources like every other developed nation has. It’s up to other countries to follow in Guyana’s footsteps preserve their forest and mitigate the damage that they’re doing such as the United States and the UK.
@@MJUA-camrsWell said
You’re absolutely right people have been so brainwashed into the CO2 being bad, which there is actually very little in the atmosphere and believing it causes global warming which is BS.
Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana could become the gulf states of South America
Man, good video, but Guyana is not the only speaking country in South America. Remember Falkland Islands? They are considered by the UK as British Overseas territory and English is also spoken there.
I live in that country
Guyana was also the location of the 1978 Jonestown disaster, which gave new meaning to the word Kool-aid.
Have they joined OPEC?
I hope they don't end up like Nauru...
The country location of Jonestown is debatable because it was located in Essequibo region (Venezuela-Guyana disputed land)
I hear Guyana and I think Jonestown.
Hmmmm what a tragedy......jhonestown ...sad me Guyanese
I praise economic growth for the people of Guyana, but I wish it wasn't because of oil. It would be nice to think such rapid growth could be achieved with something other than fossil fuels, as the world tries to decarbonize.
mc you mean europe wants to decorbonize but never Guyana or south america
Guyana is still one of the poorest country in the western hemisphere everything is more expensive now than before. So call oil find.
5vz9d your lies dont work any more ,world bank report is Guyana has moved from a middle income country to an upper middle income country. you can now only fool idiots.
Yes the country is growing a lot but yet you have to go to the US Embassy to get a Visa.
Lets hope their oil doesn't turn them into Venezuela.

DO NOT USE FICTION/MAKE ROOM FOR FACTS!!😮LETS LOOK AT THE TRADING DEALS WE ARE GETTING/ LOOK AT THE POVERTY RATE IN OUR RESOURCE RICH GUYANA,AND WORK YOUR MATHS OUT!
