Wealth can bring development, it's true, but it depends on where it falls. Development, or the foundation for it, must exist beforehand, and this happens through education. Something very similar happened in Venezuela: black gold arrived in a country that was once agricultural, and instead of being used to invest in the country's development—more agriculture, education, services, etc.—it was hijacked by the greed of leaders on different fronts.

We hope, like you, that the sleeping giant awakens so that it can bear good fruits for its people.
