Morning to all my people. Uncle Ramesh here, cup of Mauby in hand, looking out over the backdam and thinking about what the papers saying this Sunday. Let me walk you through it the way it really is, not the way the opposition vexers trying to paint it.

1. Ram and his “amateurish” talk

So Christopher Ram go on radio and call the government “amateurish” for not ring-fencing the Stabroek Block. You know what Uncle Ramesh think? Easy to talk big when you not the one at the table with Exxon.

Sunday Brief: Exxon Keeps $23.6 Billion While We Get the Leftovers, Ali Tells Us to 'Brace' for More Pain, and Apparently the Strait of Hormuz Is Now Our Problem

Good Sunday morning, Guyana. The papers this weekend read like a collective exhale, and not the good kind. The kind where you realize you have been holding your breath for four years and the air finally comes out sounding like a tire deflating on the East Bank Highway. Pour your coffee. Let us walk through it.

1. The ExxonMobil arithmetic that refuses to go away

Kaieteur ran the numbers again and they still do not add up in our favour. Between 2020 and 2024, ExxonMobil, Hess, and CNOOC — the Stabroek Block partners — pulled in US$29 billion in profits. Guyana, the sovereign nation on whose seabed this oil is sitting, received US$5.4 billion in the same period. This is our “50/50 partnership.” The math is, as dem boys would say, mathing in a particular direction.

Uncle Ramesh Take: Dey Giving de Man Medal and All-You Still Complaining?

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Uncle Ramesh read de papers from Brooklyn dis morning and he got PLENTY to say.

Eh-eh! So de President gone Brazil, get de highest honour from Roraima state, talk about trade and food security and energy cooperation — and all-you STILL finding fault? De man building bridges — LITERAL bridges — between two countries and de opposition side chatting bout “we heard this before.”

You know what I hearing from Lethem side? People EXCITED. Brazilian business people coming over, Guyanese going across. Dat is REAL economic activity, not paper talk. When last time de opposition build a relationship with ANYBODY? Dey can’t even get along with deyself, much less a whole country.
