In light of the Dudus situation many things that are beneficial to Jamaica and Jamaicans are taking a down fall. Many things have started happening and one have to wonder if any of these latest incidents have anything to do with the Dudus situation.

1. Buju Banton lock up what is the detail behind that lock up and what is going on. In general someone in that situation would have been tried or in the process of trying, but with Buju everything seems to be at a standstill and who is suffering in this situation? Jamaica and Jamaicans of course. When you think of all the people who are not earning because Buju is lock up. And not to mention all the money Buju is losing and how much he has to be paying to lawyers.

2. Business personnel and other high ranks Jamaicans who are losing their visas. Imagine making arrangements for travelling only be told at the airport that you cannot travel because you don’t have a valid visa. You are a law abiding citizen are for your visa to be taken away just like that without any explanation, and by the way Buju visa was also taken away.

3. I have also heard from Jamaicans are having problem with money remittance. Wow that is going to be a big one for many Jamaicans home. Many Jamaicans depends on the money from their love one, but sending that is not as easy as it use to be .some agencies are tightening and even stop allowing Jamaicans to send money to Jamaica. That not an easy pill to swallow and many are not going to feel pleased with this. Why should you suffer for some who is living his life partying without a care in the world and because of him and his action you cannot have a night dinner. That’s the reality that many will be feeling and it will only get worse.

4. The next hit I believe is going to reach Jamaica is tourism. My God what will we do then when hotels start closing and people starts losing their jobs?

The problem with this is that, if and when thing change what damage would have occurred and how much would it takes to get the country back on track. Just think about a hurricane and the damage it cause in a short time. One spend many years building and in a hour or two all that you built in years are gone, destroyed just like that.

That’s the problem with this game that the Jamaican Government Bruce Golding is presently involved in with the America. Many Jamaica who are not involved in the game will suffer badly and if will take many years, tears and sweat to restore the damage once it is done.

Mr. Golding should not have taken up this issue because the country has in place laws and process that is geared for this situation. I do belief that the Governor General of Jamaica and the courts should be demonstrating some action regarding this situation. This is serious business which can become more problematic for Jamaica and her people at home and abroad they should be more vocal and try to interject some common sense before this whirlwind spiral out of uncontrollable proportion.
