Ghana has tried to be responsible with its oil wealth. This is how

"To avoid a similar fate, Ghana enacted a Petroleum Revenue Management Act in 2011. The law created the Public Interest and Accountability Committee, with a mandate to ensure accountability and transparency in the management and use of oil and gas revenue. "

Twitter’s first fact-check of Trump was a gutless one

"One of the reasons this fact-check is so surprising is that for a very long time, Twitter hasn’t taken any action when the President spread misinformation on its platform (which has occurred numerous times). When Trump tweeted the false claim that the Obama administration wiretapped Trump Tower, Twitter did nothing. When Trump tweeted that he "never said Russia did not meddle in the election" when he did in fact say so, Twitter did nothing."
