Sambo I believe you are right that we do have a good deal and we will see some decent rewards from this. You speak of positive posters and blue sky ambitions and I am most definitely one of those who believe that that is the case. Although profit expectations have had to be reduced based on the nature of the farm out it is in fact bringing things forward in that we have had a monetization target to go at now. So I personally see that as a swing and roundabout scenario!
My disagreement is on your points about being mislead and that is because I do not feel mislead in the slightest.
These are the reasons...
It was said that the find at NT2 would be tranformational for the country!
It was said it would be transformational for this company!
Everything I have seen so far tells me it will be for both so I don't have that feeling!
On your points about handling the government etc. They reported they had a good relationship with the TPDC and they had always had that as far as I am aware but the government changes and governments are goverments who do what they want to do, as you say we are in east africa and therefore playing perhaps by different rules. It was reported at one time that the Zubs met at Royal level to try and get things moving.
My biggest surprise is that people were expecting this dealing with the government to be an easy ride. They still have a PSA agreement in place which the government have to abide by but in that agreement it allows them to call the tune. All this information is freely available and this is partly why I don't understand the level of peoples anger.
As a final point let us think for a minute that TPDC maybe watching the views of the shareholders. I know they do to an extent because they follow and respond to my twitter posts but if you were their government and you were reading the fickle nature of the postings on here, would you not understand why they might be happier with a company at the head that can be sure of the financial support to progress to completion because quite frankly I would, if I had to rely on the kind of support shown on here in the last year.
Still we are where we are and I for one am looking forward to that rosy future :0))
