Just as I start to think that no Jamaicans was on the capsized Costa Concordia cruise ship in Italy last week, there comes a Jamaica-Gleaner story that two Jamaicans were on the ship but they survived. So this concludes the widely held belief that Jamaicans De Every Weh. Jamaicans are all over the world, every nookie, every corner. One of the Jamaicans Antonio wright was a chef on the ship and he gave his account of the story in today’s Jamaica-Gleaner.
I find this article in the Jamaica Gleaner and you should definitely read it!
THE SECOND biggest killer of people worldwide is cancer. At present, statistics indicate that one third of the population will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Many have been led to believe that we do not know why people get cancer. The truth is that we do know a lot about what causes cancer. The reality is that we increase our cancer risk by Click Here For More
It is amazing how Mrs. Simpson Miller and her time surprise many Jamaican with their big win in the December 29, 2011 election. Many media personnel who did not expect the win are in a flurry and because of this common sense are out the window.
From the little I know is that when you have a new government one of their first items on their agenda is to review what the outgoing government has left them with. The new government is privy to certain information while in opposition but the details are what are of great importance. The new government has no time to bask in celebration because in Jamaica there is so much that need to be done ASAP. Therefore they have Read the rest of this entry
Jamaica New PM The Right Honorable Portia Simpson Miller has been sworn in as Jamaica Prime Minister for the second time. Mrs. Simpson-Miller promises to run a government of accountability, transparency and inclusiveness. watch video below:
The G2K attempt to portray Mrs. Simpson-Miller as a stupid Jamaican woman cuts deep into the heart of many Jamaicans, especially women. Our people have come a far way from the wretched un-Godly curse of slavery. Many of us have been slowly trying to educate ourselves and rise out of the ashes of slavery. If PhD degrees and Masters Degree alone could have rescued Jamaica, it would be one of the most successful countries on earth.
What Jamaica needs is people with a mixture of common sense and education, and most of all honesty and integrity. No amount of pretty girls and boasty intellectual can fool the Jamaican people again. Jamaicans, not withstanding, their education level is well known as one of the smartest people on earth. Can you tell me what other country on earth that other nationalities try to emulate, imitate and outright impersonate?
The Jamaican people have come a far way and while we are not seeking to use our past as an excuse, if we forget our past we are going to continue be slaves to it just like G2K and their misguided advertisements. G2K leaders should be replaced.
Well not many countries on earth get to start the New Year with a new government. The People’s National Party (PNP) under the leadership of veteran politician Portia Simpson-Miller unleashed one of Jamaica’s biggest political upset in election history to the ruling Jamaica Labour Party (JLP). This defeat is exceptional because no pollsters, analysis, commentators, or psychic was able to predict a 42-21 seat victory for the PNP.
The same card that the JLP played on the people of Jamaica for four years was played on them during the campaign. The people would dress up in green and travel from meetings to meetings ringing bells, drinking and eating what the laborites provided but in the end they were a no show when it was time to vote. The JLP should know that the good Bible says do unto others as you would have them do unto you. And the old proverb says same knife weh stick goat stick sheep. The JLP have been playing 3 card on the people of Jamaica but now that they have been played I wonder how they feel.
I hope that all the nay sayer will now respect the action of the people of Jamaicans who have spoke. The Jamaicans I know don’t want to be disrespected or taken for fools, they don’t like to be tricked and they are smart enough to know that when your hands is in the lion mouth you pulled it out slowly am now confident in my brothers and sisters that they have demonstrated that respect is due and should be given to them by politians. People should be respected weather they are brown, black or white; rich or poor; straight or gay; we are all proud Jamaicans
The People’s National Party has won a huge victory in the election today despite earlier polls saying otherwise.’ Old Girl’ Portia Simpson must be very elated after the beaten she went under regarding her age and level of education. This is a big victory for the women of Jamaica and their dignity…more on this later.
Today is the much anticipated General Election in Jamaica. The approximately two-month old Jamaica Labor Party (JLP) leader and Prime Minister is going up against People’s National Party (PNP) leader Portia Simpson. Once again this is an election that no one can confidently predict the outcome. There are polls showing the PNP with a slight lead and other polls showing the JLP with a slight lead also. Both parties are, as expected, claiming that they will win easily. There is a large number of newcomers vying for offices also and this may give rise to many surprises in the race. Whatever happens tomorrow Jamaica will have a new leader with a 5-year mandate who is going to face a country with very high unemployment, still too high crime rate, a dissatisfied population and many other problems. This coming 2012 Jamaica will also celebrate its 50th anniversary from British rule. Interesting times ahead.
