May crude oil be discovered in your lands

May the lands be taken over by the government

May the oil blocs in the land be shared out to strangers from another land

May the oil company not employ any member of your family

May oil spill and pollute all the adjoining lands and waters

May gas flare day and night in your skies

And when you complain about these injustices may you be shot at and bombed senseless.

Amen.
