Firestone is the most wicked company in Liberia. How can u pay your worker $1,550 usd a year, around $130 usd a month? Each worker is to tip 500 trees a day. How can a family live on $130 usd for a month? These workers will work for the rest of their life and will never be able to buy a house or even a car for themselves. They r just surviving but never improving their life, while their so call bosses live in millions dollar Manson and ride The most expansive cars. I wonder what GOD the boss o

@stclared becuase they are very wicked. But wait, they have some of we Liberians to deal with before they take any drop of our oil form our country. There is no more free ride for these western nations. We know what we have and as a nation with a very small population, we know for a fact that we are very rich. If we had the kind of relationship with China that we have had with you guys for the past 160yrs, Liberia would had been a great place to live and never will we have to experience any war.

Why is the profit sharing ratio so low. Liberia gets 30 percent as tax! That is totally unfair.!

[marck224]

We know what our country has and don't need to be told by anyone. Liberia holds more than 50billion barrels of oil offshore. What we are asking you people is for all US and European companies to get the hell out of our country. All you know is steal and destroyed other countries while yours move foward. But that is all coming to an end. With SA joining the BRIC's countries, it gives we Liberians more reason to welcome the BRIC's nations and kick the West out. Starting with Firestone! wicked West

Look Mr. Hassan Hassan! the next time you're interview, you should speak very clearly. From the beginning, you water down the words natural resources when the woman asked you the question " WHY LIBERIA"...."SAY YOU WENT THERE TO LOOK FOR NATURAL RESOURCES" or should it say YOU WENT THERE TO EXPLOIT NATURAL RESOURCES!!! you wicked pink people calling your selves white. Get the hell out of my country. We are tired of been slaves to you idoits that hide behind the term INVESTOR! ROGUES, ROGUES!

Chevron has already told our government that with the siesmic info they've obtain on Liberia offshore oil reserves, other major US oil giants could show up soon. That means companies like Exxon, Shell, in addition to others joinors and majors like Tullow, Anadarko, Woodside, Repsol, Broadway Consolidate, China Sinopec which are all on the ground as we speak, plus onshore company like Simba energy on land. This is just oil alone! AA's need to wake up and come home to help rebuild Liberia!

Now that the war that destroyed our country is over, our people are in more dare need than ever b4, it's time our AA's cousines connect with our people back home and help them in any way possible.
