possi carnival lookin good
Portsmouth fete always different from Roseau fete, so please stop comparing it, we love our street jump up thats our thing, we dont have a problem with it, so if you do we know you are not from possie so dont come, we will still jump peacefuly and have a good time.
Grand Bay had its opening too,its not something bad so we will not hear anything about IT, thats a shame……. i am reading a lot of negative vibes of portsmouth opening, so to say Grand Bay was sensational!!!
BIG UP SOUT CITY MASSIVE
ADMIN: Someone in Portsmouth was good enough to send us photos. If someone in Grand Bay had taken the initiative and did the same we would published them.
Grand bay people too busy Robbing western union to send pics…. Hehehehehe. Look kixa
Porstmouth people don’t support their own people……………why didn’t you see ncore……..all shall eat and they hate to give their very own bread to eat…………..they want all for themself
why don’t you ask a bloody question before you run your mouth ncore was playing hard ball its their fault why they wasnt part of the parade
Mnister of Tourism that is what you have to show of your constituency? You should be embarassed!
The parade was empty and disorganised. Plain like possie people.
move ur r**s HATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yet still allu still coming possie
Opening of carnivasl in possie! Really! I saw Ck and Tripple K jaming on the road. An opening carnival parade consists of ole mas category, floats of pageant contestants, floats with calypsonians, floats from business places, creative individuals, and many more. Sadly i saw none of those in the opening of carnival 2012 in portsmouth. Portsmouth people get your act together and stop the shame.
This parade was a disaster. Possie people need to get talented people on the committee. Whoever is there right now is making a mess of everything. Possie was like a laughing stock on Saturday. Did people really sit together to plan this sham of a parade? Please, next time you all want CK or KKK to play on the road just say so and don’t say you are having a parade.
possie people just love to sewo so what is your problem can you do it better. go put rollon and keep your comments to your self
there was much to be desired from that opening..my lord wat a mess! hope they will get it together for next year or even for the 2 days of carnival!
see those in YELLOW! doesn’t miss! where u see one u see d next!like bread n butter!
i muss say however CK jam since i got here sunday self and it was good!
lord not in this kind of happening sorry!!!!
Nice to see. I supposed could be better. This looks more like a jamming session. When is Portsmouth Reunion taking place? I see they are doing the children carnival?
The last time I came to Dominica Colin told me he is a christian and that he gave up on his best friend the mur.
tell me about it who organised that anyway i mean possie had better openings i mean come one man from the time that parade began ppl started asking each other if that it plzzzz
I have to mention that in many of the photos from children in the parades to those children observing that parents in Dominica are over sexualizing their children especially their little girls. leotard so tight and makeup, lip gloss i mean come on people! They’re kids. There are high cases of abuse Dominica and whether its reported or not there are so many perverts lining up the street watching and scrutinizing your kids bodies even the teenagers. Dress your children appropriately so when they grow up they can act like ladies…. For me this is just the worst to see little girls being paraded around like little jezebels ….uggghhh No child of mine going parade with tight closes and short pants or makeup. Lip gloss and lip stick is to attract. Why would u want your little girl to atttract anyone is beyond me.
clothes***** not closes…lol so upset i typing so fast…..
On a normal day you wont give the kids/children those stuff like make up etc but its CARNIVAL, DOMINICA Culture. It all about colour etc…so to enhance the costume you add the necessary. OMG you pple are so hepocrite..gueezzz
What does hypocrisy have to do with anything? I grew in Dominica until and not one day did my mother ever put makeup on me. Today I wearing it well strong. As a kid I had ribbons and always covered up. Dressed like a little girl. Pllss
Your days, my days and now the kids days are three DIFFERENT day…three DIFFERENT generation you are considering right here…times changing my lady…their parents have no problem with it… i personally dont see anything wrong with it cause its just for a season (one or two days)…
It only takes one day one moment one second for a predator to lay eyes on your child and then u will see how a second can change ur life. But anyways
Wow…I missed out on that but promise to make it up for the real carnival. Much respect to Possie for doing this peacefully. Lets carry this peaceful celebration through the entire carnival season and beyond.
I see the three from paix bouche…lol
You call that an opening? Or a street Jam???? No ceremony nothing? 5-10 mins of PArading? Stupes. Not even NCore?
everything is concentrated on roseau.all activities.all the same possie remains the most beautiful part of dominica
This parade was in Possie
but possie isn’t the capital! Last time I check i don’t remember portsmouth being named the capital of dominica. But what is wrong with country folks nuh? All you have issues man? It not that serious. All you say all you proud to be from country yet it seems that you guys are riddled with envy, discontent and hate for roseau and roseau people. Yet a set of all you sending all you kids roseau for school. WHy? Cause everybody dominican….. jeessh people get over it. Portsmouth people might want to spend more time helping those abused kids like the one DNO featured and all dem thieves that up there volehing people things on purple turtle…. goshhhh
Wow isn’t it too early in the day for you to sound so angry. Breathe, breathe, breathe.
@ Z:
After readihg the above comment about children being dressed like adults, I almost thought that you had a good heart and good intentions even if I felt you over-reacted. But don’t you think that “envy…discontent…and hatred are very strong words and way over the top? Roseau belongs to us all. Without a strong agricultural economy, Roseau is doomed. Remember that the “country” feeds Roseau and sustains its commercial activity. Roseau has as much crime, if not more, as Portsmouth. I do not want to attack Roseau but the above comment did not warrant your attack on “country” folks. I am offended.
We Love Possie!!
@ z…..; The chick you had from Possie leave you man? Give us a break aight! Bless up!
I Rep For My City!!!
@sout man. U making your own self sad cause I don’t even know how to exlpain anything to people like u. It’s okay to run Roseau people in the mud but as soon as some one says something about country people is an issue. I don’t see nothing wrong in what u say and if u could read you would see why I responded the way I did. As for chick well I not a lesbian so I date men and no I don’t have no country man. After reading country man comments on here it’s apparent that all you can’t comprehend and I doh have time for man that can’t read and understand. By the way I’m first generation Roseau . My entire family from country but I see why they move to town
@D no its not. my anger starts whenever i meet irritating people. So if I meet one at 6am then i angry at 6am…don’t you have an opinion to give besides telling me how to express mines?
But No Ncore……..Pretty Sad!!!
i cant understand tht…Ncore is frm possie…i doe see thr point
you think Ncore playing for free man? lol..
Ask all you parl rep
Nice pics i see my boy burk.
