The discovery of oil comes with a huge blessings capable of transforming individual lives communities, states and even countries if well managed. But a situation where the proceeds are miss managed it will turn to be a cause as individual will rise against individual, states Wil rise against starts, countries will rise against countries.
I prefer you make use of the word "
curse" instead of "
cause" because your spelling may change the intended meaning. But anyways natural mineral resources like crude oil is a blessing to any society that have it. But it becomes a problem when the greedy politician handle the welfare of such society. Crude oil has caused alot of problem in many places and it is simply because of political manipulation. They shear public fund generated from the natural resources and bride some representative of the host community where the oils is generated and set confusion amongs the youth while they keep enjoying themselves. It's only when people that represent you in your region decide not to sell your right and accept bribe, that is when oil money will be a blessing. Although this cases of crude oil crises always happens more frequent in Africa.
