The Prime Minister, his wife and son on Independence Day 2014

Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, has announced the birth of his third child; a “bouncing baby girl.”

The Prime Minister’s wife, Melissa Skerrit, gave birth to the couple’s second child last evening.

In a brief statement on Thursday morning, Skerrit said both mother and baby are in good health.

He is expected to return to Dominica this weekend to attend and address the annual Independence Day festivities at the the Windsor Park Sports Stadium.

Skerrit left Dominica on October 15 to join his wife in New York, who was set to give birth to their second child.

    Admin I wrote a comment about giving birth in hospitals in New Jersey, and New York it is deleted. The fact is when children are born in these hospitals, it is mandatory for them to receive the WIC stamps. These days they are issued a plastic card which looks like a credit card, that when one uses it to get nutrition such a milk it is not easily identifiable.

    That is from the Welfare system, it all over the country, so if King Mountain Chicken Crapo children born in a hospital in New York where the first son was born, they cloud not have left there with a quaintly of WIC Stamps, if you do not believe you can stay in Dominica and research how the system works!

    So, no point of deleting such comments because it is accurate!

      Jack, you know what you are saying? Dominica is a republic and Roosevelt Skerrit’s friends in Alba would, be very upset if he was royalty , even in disguise. You are talking nonsense man.

  4. October 31, 2015

    Congratulations to the Skeritt’s and God bless you and your family. Dominicans are a jealous people, that is why they are going t backwards and not forward.

      November 1, 2015

      Yes Dominicans are jealous because while their babies and relatives die at PMH this man runs to america to have his baby because rather than fixing the healthcare system he all about busy selling passports and looking after the interest of himself and his friends. shouldnt the people of domnica have good paying jobs a well equipped hospital too? shouldnot Dominicans be able to bring in two cars at once while some friends of the government bring in 12?hopefully when u sick you can run to america Guadeloupe Martinique or Cuba too

    :?: It’s a shame and disgrace to have skerrit as a prime mistake leading this island!Leading an island that’s not good enough for his children,does this means anything to you :?: If i was a prime minister,i would make sure i govern well,making the country i lead a prosperous one good enough for my children to be born in and be proud! :?: So this means this island is not worthy of being a born citizen of,what a leader :?:

    “It is good to have a “boy” and “girl” to be a loving pair for the family. Prime Minister and Melissa, I hope that you two are happy about–I am glad for you two.”(Kissing Butt Elizabeth).

    If there was one person alive who would be glad for Skerrit and his crap, it would have to be you!

    “boy” and “girl” to be a loving pair for the family.” (Elizabeth). My question are you and your son specifically living like a loving family?

    When last you sat with him; cares, and kiss your son and told him you love him? When last you and Carol and the rest sat and talked like sisters, and nieces? You can’t because you are so dysfunctional, they curse you off on DNO, and on Facebook, charity begins at home, but if there is no love between you and your family, how can you be minding Skerrit and his wife business, and their family love?

    You think Skerrit and his wife care two hoots about you, and others? If he did his children would be born in Dominica.

    • November 1, 2015

      You mentally ill “parasite” from the “black lagoon” why won’t you keep your “madness” to yourself, or with those who want to share it with you?

      What in hell’s name is your damn question about me and my son? How often must I tell that you are a “nasty parasite”, who does not belong among human beings–most certainly not me, so stay where you belong!

      As I already said to you, my son and myself is none of your business. Go and mind your deplorable and disgusting business of sin and abomination which you maintain against God–you are being watched!

      My son knows nothing about your existence; you are a worm to me.

      He stayed with me until he was 31 years old, he is now 34 years old, an adult who has the right to be independent–and that is none of your business!

      Why were you raised by your “grandmother” ; why did she die and buried and you did not know it; where was your mother and father? How many hugs and kisses did you get from her tell me about it!

      • Francisco Telemaque
        November 2, 2015

        Okay, if I am a parasite, that means I am living on you, drinking all your blood everyday, soon you will have none left soon, hence you will collapse and drop to the ground, and beg me to give you a transfusion: maybe I will, maybe I wont!

        Elizabeth do you recognized this name? “Keita” who’s telephone number is 416 ———-7590 well if I your son doh know about I kid; how come I have the ten digits where I can call him if I wish?

        Secondly, I have another 416 —————- 7706 do you recognized that one also, filling the blanks you might recognized them. Finally this one is yours: 416 -667 —————-. You see how much trouble you get into with me when you curse me out!

        And if you course me out again I might just call 7706, number, that very beautiful gorgeous specimen. I know right now you trembling oui!

        Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

      “but if there is no love between you and your family, how can you be minding Skerrit and his wife business, and their family love?”–“creature from the black lagoon”

      You have been married twice and got divorced; now living with a woman whom you claim is your “nurse”. And if that was true it would mean that you are incapable of caring for yourself.

      But the fact is that, you are lying and cheating your way throughout your existence in this world, and you say that I am dysfunctional? How could you know any such thing, my people are in Dominica, I am in Toronto and you in LA?

      Once again the affairs of my people and me is none of your business–mind your own nasty business in your dwelling at the “black lagoon”–we are human beings, unlike you; you have no place in our Life; and yes! Our Life is the Life of Love from God

      You gonna have to settle your frustration with Mr. Skerrit on your own–you are not qualified to make up my mind for me–so get lost!

      • Francisco Telemaque
        November 2, 2015

        All I have to ask you how come you love Skerrit, him woman and baby’s, and you do not like you own family?

        I told you long ago that the lady is my nurse, I travel with her wherever I go across country and even church; I told you we been in such close encounter it was impossible for us to sleep in the same hotel rooms, drove in a two seater speed wagon, the same one I gave you the ride in, when you were trembling to sit in it by yourself afraid somebody would hijack it with you in it; remember?

        Remember when I went to pay for the gasoline how you were trembling?

        Doh, let me talk Miss Elizabeth, doh let me talk eh! You little yellow woman twelve year old teacher, you don’t go pass twelve years old. You had your last ride eh!

    Hello and good evening my people. First I must congratulate the Prime Minister and his wife on the birth of their daughter. Second I must say that I don’t reside and never vote in Dominica therefore my next comment isn’t Political.
    This act by the Prime Minister is very disrespectful to the people of Dominica and how can anyone have confidence in our Country Medical System.

  13. Baberose
    October 30, 2015

    I often wonder how much more Dominicans are willing to endure before realizing that their leadership is faulty to say the least. The PM and his wife do not have any respect for the people of Dominica in my honest opinion. It is so sad, because it is almost alarming to know that other countries are looking at us with blank expressions on their faces. Possibly wondering where we went wrong as a nation. I feel for my family and friends that has to deal with this mess on a daily basis. I, on the other hand, are extremely grateful that I was granted the opportunity to exit at a young age. Truly sad to see what this small island has become under this type of leadership. Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    , We should be proud that we have a leader who is a good example of father and husband, and a commited good family man…a model for our young men. This is so romantic. He build a house in his village, then marries his sweetheart, then ensure he is there for her on the birth of their kids. I wish all Dads acted like this. ( So men even act better concelling all side shows when necessary lol Mr. P M may you be blessed with a happy family life, may you and your family enjoy a successful future. .

    Alot of us keep crying about the hospital that we have but how many of are willing to bear the cost of the new one. We don’t even want to pay for basic services. If we catch a cold we run to the hospital, pitting pressure on the staff because we find that they are not quick enough to meet our needs and on top of that we do not even want to pay $5. We definitely need a better hospital but we also need a new mindset. We need to learn that there are costs to everything. When the new hospital comes and it is going to be properly maintained, it should be expected that there will be a drastic increase in cost. Reasons include the cost of new medical equipment and our population size. So let’s build it but let’s all be willing to maintain it. Use the private doctors instead of he er for everything.. Now if the pm’s wife who is an American citizen decides to have her baby in the us that is her choice. Now as to cost she would most likely have insurance which is required by law for…

    It is good to have a “boy” and “girl” to be a loving pair for the family. Prime Minister and Melissa, I hope that you two are happy about–I am glad for you two.

    Melissa you, should know that bad milk is not good for your baby; so keep your mind at peace; God is taking care of your husband, your children’s father.

    He is okay. Do not allow those nasty things that they are speaking against him, to interfere with your emotions , you need purified milk for your baby–all you need in your mind right is the thoughts of Love, for God, your husband, and your children.

    You and our PM are in my prayers; we are from God and the works which we are doing is His assignment to us–Prime Minister Skerrit you already know this–we shall not be moved!

  27. Mr. Skare-It
    October 30, 2015

    Congratulations to Mr and Mrs. Skerrit. I am happy that Melissa had a safe delivery in New York.

    I compare this announcement with that of when Dmitry Roosevelt Skerrit was born, just about the same date on Nov. 27 2013. https://dominicanewsonline.com/news/homepage/news/human-interest/boy-pm-announces-birth-son/

    As I put the two announcements side by side, I noticed the following which left me with some questions:

    1. In the case of Dmitry we had detailed information from the Skerrits. WE had the name, time of birth, and weight of baby. Two years later, no such information was given. WHY Mr. Skerrit?

    In the absence of information one is left to speculate. So here is my speculation:
    Apart from Mr. Skerrit might not be in a good frame of mind this time around, I also suspect that he might not have been anywhere close to Mrs. Skerrit. Your guess is as good as mine.

    • Mr. Skare-It
      October 30, 2015

      DNO, you keep not posting my comments so I posted it again. I really do not know what I said that was defamatory, harassing,,•violating or infringing the rights of any person, or personal attacks on anyone.
      I simply suggested a name for his baby and he does not have to take it if he does not like it. I personally feel it’s a good name. Also, I have every right to speculate why he might not be close to his wife at this time since many feel he might have gone to Singapore and might not be back in NY as yet, while others feel he might be in NY close to the UN, busy meeting with his friend who recently was house jailed close to the UN building, while others feel he might be busy meeting with Family Business Inc. (FBI). So what’s wrong?

    October 30, 2015

    Melissa do right! Go America and have your baby. All those who are criticizing either themselves or a relative or someone they know run to America, have their baby and return to Dominica, calling themselves patriotic, when their child is American. Their child cannot run for office if needs be but they want to criticize the woman.

    If Melissa had ever made the mistake of having her child in Dominica, before the child drop out of her , the whole of Dominica would already know the size, shape and all demographics of her private parts. Go America self and make use of facilities where privacy and confidentiality is important and of us, your child will be American. Those who are criticizing well want an American passport too. The grapes are too far for them to rich, so now they are sour

    • 4-cars
      October 30, 2015

      Actually, where you are born does not shape the individual you will become characteristically. You could be born in heaven and become a Lucifer. So, a US passport is no guarantee that the child will do good or bad in life. However, based on the father’s ideology; I just think that he is too puffed up and hypocritical. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

    Any man in his right mind would send his family to the US for medical care if he could afford it and could get the immigration clearance to do so. The PM has the immigration clearance by virtue of his political position in Dominica, but who paid for all this? Certainly this 6 week birthing process could not be considered “State business” and with travel costs, living expenses, and medical bills – the total must be upwards of $100,000 US. Does anybody care?

    That said – my congrats and best wishes to our “Royal Family”.

      i agree. all dog and cat going to america,guadeloupe,st croix etc to make their baby why can’t she? this woman was living over there even before she got married to skerrit. i believe if she had married anybody else she would still go and have a u.s baby so whats all the fuss about.

      p.s i did not marry skerrit but i too went to the u.s to have both of my babies. who can go, i say to you its your choice. who can’t go i’m sorry that you can’t but hating on those who can is not going to help.

    Leave P.M.Skerrit alone. UWP and Freedom regimes should have constructed a state of the art hospital. Now you all Dominicans blaming Skerrit. Some of the people who passes at the PMH could die both from complications or carelessness by nurse (s) or doctor (s)

    P.M. supporting maduro against America has nothing to do with the birth of their child. This is pure nonsense. Who vex lost. Mrs. Skerrit choice is not her husband choice. You fool!

    PMH too poor for them.

    PMH is for those that keep voting him back into power over and over again.

    Kind of reminds me of Zimbabwe. Robert Mugabe’s wife shopping in Singapore while the 95 percent of Zimbabweans live on less on $1 a day and the Zimbabwe dollar is one billion to US$1 due to corruption. And the same Zimbabweans living on less than $1 a day, were defending Mrs. Mugabe shopping in Singapore. lol ….same thing in Dominica.

      October 30, 2015

      Oh please…..if the PMH is too poor for them , then you should also say the same to all the others who rush to the U.S to have their babies also. Some of you just want to be in people’s personal lives and yours kept secret. Let the people be

      Yes! upon arrival at the soon to be Skerrit international Airport the wife entourage will hold up customs lines with excessive baggage(duty free-no searching) But 12 crab backs will create a stir.
      I travelled to DA in 2012 the customs line was paralyzed when I checked it was the wife with excess luggage and she was just fiancée at the time. lol imagine now.

      • Tjebe Fort
        November 2, 2015

        No way they will be in customs line. They will walk straight through VIP no questions asked no matter what they are carrying. Mrs. Skerrit did not marry Mr. Skerrit for nothing you know, she well smart.

    I congratulate the PM and his wife on the birth of their daughter but I do not understand why they don’t want their children to be born in DA? You are the leader of a country, and you do not want your children to be born in the country you are leading?

    That is a real slap in the face to the country

    • Dominican
      October 30, 2015

      You make yourself sound stupid but I will humor you. So let me explain, the lady has the right to birth her children wherever she chooses just like you do and it is not your business just like where you birth yours is not her business. She has American citizenship so commonsense tells us that of course she cant be dual citizen and not give that benefit to her children. When they grow older they have all the opportunities of the American children especially when it comes to furthering their education. Even if we had the best hospital who would take that away from their children? women here who do not have American citizenship commit fraud to have their children born in the USA, they take huge loans they have to pay off for the life of the child. They go so far as to iinconvenience their other children to have a baby is the us using fake information so tell me in your common sense why would she not have her baby where it benefits all of them? I know you understand so I will end here.

      • cc
        October 30, 2015

        Do you think if Barak Obama and his wife decided to have their children in a foreign country that Americans would be ok with that? Yes people have a right to have children where ever they want but come on your elected to be the leader of a country show some patriotism to your country.

        If it’s a case if wanting the children to have US citizenship, if she’s a US citizen she can apply for the children to have US citizenship.

      I will just say that security and safety comes to mind. Judas like you should know about that. Please go and support the children you left behind then come back and talk…..with you poison water talk. You are just a boom boom fly of La Lie (L L ) All you Boom Boom flies want to attack a baby, an innocent little girl. what has she or her parents done to you hateful people. Parents have a duty to their children, the parents were performing their duty. If the people at the P M hospital were doing their duty we would not have the problems we have there. You should be calling on them to do their job, show some compassion.

    Edward Oliver Le Blanc as Premier would have never flown his wife overseas under ordinary circumstances to give birth to his child. What message the current Prime Minister sends to the nation of Dominica when he and his wife choose to have their children born in the United States of America when medical practitioners here in Dominica are quite capable of delivering their children right here in DA? Do these people really bond and identify with Dominica?

    • Joe
      October 30, 2015

      “What message the current Prime Minister sends to the nation of Dominica when he and his wife choose to have their children born in the United States of America”

      Now does that make sense to you??? The PM has two children born in the US at the tender ages, my cousins in their 20s’ were all borne in the US their parents went there to make them and returned to Dominica with them this PM was still in college so what’s your point about EO Leblanc?? Skerrit is not Leblanc all man will do what suits them it is a matter of PEROGATIVE!!!!!!

      Now let us CONGRATULATE THE MAN AND STOP THE FOOLISHNESS!!!!!!!

      • October 30, 2015

        Not now .if you want your child to be born in the USA you have to go as soon as you know you pregnant. If immigration can detect you are pregnant they will send you back.This happened to one lady in Colihaut.And this is the big talk in congress now

      • The Goose and the Gander
        October 30, 2015

        @Joe, If you have a restaurant in town and people realize when you hungry you going by KFC instead of eating at your restaurant, do you think you would be sending a positive message to others? I for sure would not trust eating at your place! You guys are just being bias and will continue to defend Skerrit no matter what he does.
        Shame on this country called Dominica!!!

    • Dominican
      October 30, 2015

      The man die so you can talk not. what evidence you have to talk that nonsense? Is it the same Leblanc you all ran from Roseau? Shameless

    • Emile Zapatos
      October 30, 2015

      When Leblanc had his kids there were not so many hateful people who was a threat to their security and safety. Remember when Mrs Boyd-Knight had to decline to be President because she did not feel safe. The P M wife was acting on her motherly instinct to keep her baby safe…think about that.
      I am just surprise that DNO is posting such bitterness.

      • Titiwi
        October 30, 2015

        Emile, if we have so many hateful people in Dominica, who are a threat to the P.M.’s security and safety as you allege – which I don’t necessarily accept – ask yourself why that would be? According to you this was not so under Leblanc. If there is this hatred it can only be that it was engendered under, and by the rule of our current leader. That would be the logical conclusion. Be careful what you write my friend “shoes”.
