COMMENTARY: Roosevelt and Mellisa Skerrit: How Dare You?

The prime minister, his wife and cabinet ministers on stage with a Barbadian prophet during the concert

How does a Prime Minister and his wife insult an entire population with blatant deception and apparently, no one except this poor soul, has the testicular fortitude to take objection in the written word? For this my identity will not be revealed but if others feel offended and insulted as I do, please append your name and signature to this article and send it to the supreme leader and king of the Commonwealth of Dominica.

The people of Dominica were invited to a FREE Thanksgiving Gospel Concert featuring the renowned gospel singer from Nigeria, Sinach, on Sunday November 26th, 2018 in the Windsor Park Stadium. The event was to bring the curtains down on the 40th Anniversary of Independence celebrations.

It is generally understood that in such a concert that there would be supporting artists but Sinach would be the main act and since it was thanksgiving to demonstrate a certain level of unity in the country, the authorities would have the decency to keep the tribal politics out of it.

A successful event would result in political points for the ruling party anyway. But lo and behold, in the most deceptive and insultive manner, the Prime Minister and his wife lured Dominicans to believe that they were attending a thanksgiving concert with Sinach whereas they brought the entire population to an anointing ceremony of Skerrit’s cabinet of ministers by, what appears to be, a False Prophet from Barbados.

The prophet in all his wisdom and vision of the future did not see that Dominicans would feel insulted with the contents of his performance, that he was simply a political tool to advance the political ambitions of Roosevelt Skerrit and his wife.

So how can the Prime Minister of a country so openly insult his citizens? Why does he allow his wife to be referred to as the First Lady when he knows fully well that the First Lady of the Commonwealth of Dominica is the President’s wife? How much did it cost the tax payers of Dominica to hold this so-called Free Concert for which the only freeness is to the ruling party, which benefitted, because the citizens have paid through the treasury?

There is much more to be said about the false prophet and the deception of Roosevelt and Melissa Skerrit, but let me only say How Dare Them insult my intelligence and, by the way, where is the Roman Catholic Bishop and other religious leaders, what are their views on the travesty of that so-called thanksgiving concert or should it be deemed a National Disgraceful Concert?

Let not our political bias blind us from seeing deception, lies and insults when they show their dirty face.

How Dare You Roosevelt and Melissa! I’m not angry but Dominicans should be!

    the author, although is right in his observations, spoke of testicular fortitude. Testicular fortiture would be stating your name and publishing a picture next to it. Until then, you are like every other Dominican who is afraid of persecution and being subject to the wrath of the Labor Party and its leader.

    Satan, in politics cannot forgive sins and guide us the people of \Domininca anywhere. this is a failed Skerrit leading a failed and corrupt[t Judas Labour government. Those who promoted this should have repented first and stand up and repay the Bin Bobol and Fertilizer Bobol that they have conceived. I hope that there was bo cash collection, because ummmmmmmm…well all you know to well. We want our stolen states money repaid and those responsible to be apprehended. Skerrit please lead that team and bring forth, you know it all.
    This is not about heaven and saints .. it is about Satan and his satanic behaviour visibly exposed in the this performance .No matter what Skerrit and his Labour corrupt rogues attempt to do to appease us, we will throw it out, dump them out of office come the elections.. Skerrit and his failed corrupt gang must go, they have failed us, fooled us and deceived us and lied o us re the Bn Bobol and Fertilizer Bobol. Dominicans wake up. We seriously need change.

    Prophet Jamal brown and Sinach, two so called ministers/messengers of God said that Skerrit is a humble and God fearing man. Hmmmmm I have reservations about they being false prophets but money does make people do and say crazy things. They were paid and played by Skerrit and his bunch of ……… OK only time will tell.

    It is good to sit back and look sometimes. God is a Holy God! He has all the attributes of greatness, goodness and love. I thought about this concert and the people involved and realized that we lack discernment. We have lost our way and our practices have become dark. When we walk in the dark we cannot see out pathway because it is simply dark!
    I thought about Daniel’s interpretation of the final era; the feet of iron and clay. Clearly i see Dominica leading in world events. The church and the government becoming one, mixing the together… but will never bind for God said so.
    I speak as a child of the living God and His side will i take for the rest of my life by His power.
    So i prayed knowing that God sets up thrones and dethrones that whatever the devil tries to discredit God that the Lord uses it for His Glory and Honor and Praise. That the people who didn’t know God will repent for He came for us all. I hope that many realize that Dominica MUST repent NOW!
    Praise God!

      The answer to your last question. Do you believe it is only Dominica that’s to expensive to live. It not about asking people to open their eyes.The eyes as a sense organ is limited you cannot know the true nature of things with your eyes. The mind you are equipped as a person is vast superior than the eyes when it comes to knowing things.

    What is wrong in having a Thanksgiving concert? If you all do not like the PM & his Wife do not the God fearing concert in a political one. Only the devils hate the children of God. The negative things you said about the PM & Wife is all in the Devils mind and soul. Dominicans be positive at all time and do not bring done God’s people to the gutter politics. We need to work to build the country and people and stop pointing fingers at one man and his wife. Give love instead of hate if you are in God’s family.

      Read the bible about who children of God are. Are you blind as to what is going on in this country? If you were to chose Godly role models for your child would you chose them? If you would then you are clearly in the dark. Not all who say Lord Lord will enter the Kingdom. These people need to repent. This entire country needs to pray and fast and stop having shows, lost of things to draw attention- the crowd does wild but the hearts remain the same! And BTW this was a political meeting which used public funds. Originally it may not have been one, but it was hijacked to suit one purpose- elevate a party- not God. I do pray that the word of God rested on their hearts- I look forward to changed lives and policies.

      So are you saying that Dominicans must not voice their disapproval regarding the PM n his wife. In the first place which first lady you all talking about… To be honest you wanting to call those who see the light in the foolishness going on as Devils, is already Devilish. So many evil n wrong things gojng on yet you guys wanna almost say the politicians are angels. Dats to me is Demonic. Godly people don’t do evil things. So hear what hush your mouth n keep quiet.

      Thanksgiving is not in our native Dominica  tradition; it is not  in our African forefathers tradition, on the continent of Africa. We were colonized by the British. After Slavery, the British Methodist operating in Dominica introduced to their members what they term  ” Harvest.”

      In late November, the Methodist ministers would encourage their farmer members to bring their best agricultural produce into the church, where they prayed celebrate over whatsoever they brought. As everything else, the practice became like an exhibition, of who could grow the largest yam ect.; that practice was slowly  discontinued; at least in Wesley, and Marigot.

      There was never any concert. The America history dates back to a time when the first British settles arrived in America, hungry, and staved, the indigenous Indians took them gifts; hence that was the beginning of American thanksgiving in November.

       Roosevelt and Melisa believe because she lived in America, and their children are born…

        Yes, and after the indigenous Indians showed them how to roast corn and fed them, they turned around and murdered their livelihood, the buffaloes or bison.The killing of bison increased when Indians acquired horses and guns from Europeans, but it was not until the arrival of white settlers that the slaughter truly began. The Western artist George Catlin estimated in 1841 that two to three million bison had been slaughtered for their hides — sent to Eastern markets — in the first 30 years of the 19th century alone. The bison was ruthlessly hunted by hunters, or “runners,” as they called themselves, who were interested only in the valuable hides and who left the meat to rot on the plains. I agree with you that Thanksgiving has never been an African tradition. We have really strayed from our culture and spirituality and have accepted and celebrate European culture/s. Some of us do not know the meanings behind these holidays so we just go with the flow.

      • out of south city
        December 1, 2018

        continuation:
        We have become like those who enslaved us by taking on their god and their religion and have denounced our African spirituality. We put our trust and confidence in men, who control our minds by the religions that we were forced to embrace and we follow them like sheep to the slaughter. If we are serving the same god, why do I need a so-called prophet to tell me about my life? And what do I know about this man when he is behind closed doors? If he can hear from god for me why can’t I hear from god for myself? Then he is paid to tell me what god said? Come on people, when are you all going to wake up? These men are just mortal souls like you and me. That’s why religion does not work. If it did, Dominica would not be in the condition that it’s in right now because most Dominicans are christians. Instead of unity, love and harmony we have division, hatred, murder, theft, child abuse, and all of the above. We are not united as a nation and religion is sure not working.

        “Out The South:” You do not know how much I appreciate your response to my submission; that is the beauty of communication, especially when its intellectual information!

        You seems to be someone who is intellectually informed; if I may add, in the process of killing all the Buffalo’s, and Bison’s, they also robbed the Indians of their land. The Indians did not own land individually, it was free for all to cultivates, hunt and roam free.

        The white settlers ensured they stigmatized the Indians; murdered millions, making them a minority in their very own country. Ultimately forcing them to live on created reservation on arid land. On Arid land nothing grows; I wish I could comment on erosion of alluvial, and deposits by rear torrential water flows.

         Getting back to the issue; Melisa and Roosevelt playing game with our people, Melisa lived in America, their children are born here, so they make belief Thanksgiving is some international holiday so they must celebrate in…

      Concerned, for your information in you giving out deliberate and false thinking about our concerns of this failed government and failed PM Skerrit, we will not fall to your level. We are talking about the failure of Skerrit and his surrogate’s. Skerrit and his company are Dominicans like you and I, but we have that right to be critical of his rotten behaviour that has reduced our country to poverty, corruption and Bobol, all in one, it is called fraudulent behaviour. That is how we define upstairs of the Financial Centre. We are civil servants for the people of Domininca and we must honour that role and positions we hold. As we do, we expect Skerrit and his failed Labour government to do same as they have been practising deceitfulness and abused the system of government by passing we the professionals paid to attend to states matter. We object to the Red Clinic, that is thievery, buying peoples alliance as they are jobless and look for Skerrit’s handouts. That must stop. Skerrit Go

So as the so called Supremo has performed political satanic misbehaviours, (Bin Bobol and Fertilizer Bobol) he must repent and Go and say his “Rosary”, the “Our father” and “Hail Mary” Rosary 100 times.
      Skerrit and his surrogates must go.. We need decent, honest, credible, professional, trusted Dominicans to lead us out of poverty and thievery and Bobol in Government.
      Hon Lennox Linton and your decent UWP Tam, must be prepared to enter government.. We are fed-up with ineptitude and corruption and boys playing toys with states resources.

    I passed this article several times because I didn’t feel like wasting my time to watch the opposition play victim in written form. But it is important to listen to the cries of all and upon reading, this is again A WASTE OF MY TIME. The same sort of cry when the government organizes any and everything. Nothing positive can ever happen in this country for these people as long as Skerrit is the leader. This goes to show how much they “care for the country”.
    The concert was a free, thanksgiving concert (long overdue I may say after Maria but I understand why) for all to attend. A concert which meant to promote positivity, togetherness, and prayer. But like everything else in Dominica “Skerrit set that up for Dominica’s failure”.

      Before you or Skerrit come forth, please repent and come clean or lese the wrath of God and his people will be upon you. Start talking to us about the Bin Bobol and the Fertilizer Bobol. And also, most importantly, the Red Clinic, where every Wednesday Skerrit had poor and crying people in the Foyer of the Financial Centre waiting to receive a few silvers, of bobol money.

    ” how can the Prime Minister of a country so openly insult his citizens? Why does he allow his wife to be referred to as the First Lady.” 

    Again I will suggest the reason why  Roosevelt continues to make an idiot of himself: is fools  who worship, and adore him like a god, is because the brainwashed people encourage his nonsense.

    In the first place politics, in the Caribbean is something inherited from the British colonial system. There is no first lady, or woman in the Caribbean or our former British political system.  In the British, and Caribbean political system, it has always been the wife of the Chief Minister, Governor, or Prime Minister.

    Not even Savarin wife is supposed to be called first lady in our political System. The only place on the planet where the wife of a president is referred to as “first lady” is in America!

    To those people who are busy pointing what Jesus, what He and what the Bible said, i think that you all forgot to mention this one below but read what it says:

    Submit to Government @Romans 13

    ‘Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.”

    I cannot imagine a place in the World where an individual can come put so disrespectful and rude, against the Prime Minister without the decency of telling us what his or her name is, but the media accept and print it out, for the World to see. But they say that PM Skettit is a Dictator–good Lord!

      You don’t care because you are living in Canada where government feed and pay for your apartment, some people even before the hurricane did not have roof over their heads; there is no reason for a small place like Dominica to find so many people sleeping in the streets.

      @ElizabethLinaXavier – You must stop extracting verses out of context just to push your deluded Skerrit propaganda.

      Not all governments in place are God’s choice or have his approval. There is something known as God’s permissive will where he sometimes allows something to happen in order to teach persons a lesson.

      A classic example is King Saul in the Bible. Remember when the Israelites asked for a human king, God told them no, he did not want a human ruler over them & the detriment of a human king to them. Yet the Israelites insisted so God ALLOWED them to have a king in order to teach them a lesson. When one cannot hear, God allows you to feel and ohh boy, the Israelites felt until they bawled out.

      With all your talk about government authority, I want to see how much respect & obedience you’ll have for a government that were to outlaw Christianity & make going to church illegal.

      Properly research on the quality of government that God approves of & urges respect for.

You haters will never learn and there is a special place in hell for anyone who criticizes anyone for giving thanks and praise for what the good Lord have done for Dominica after hurricane maria. Why don’t this spineless anonymous author ask his weak leader (Lennox “Trump” Linton) to have a praise worship for him. Probably that might make him feel better about his low esteem himself.

Skerrit is a highly corrupt individual that needs to be held accountable for what he has done to our country and its finances

  33. November 29, 2018

    Another opportunity for Skeritt haters to beat up on Skeritt. There is nothing that Skeritt can do in the eyes of his detractors that is commendable. The writer lacks the testicular fortitude to identity himself but brazenly accuses others of lacking that quality. No one was forced to attend this concert, all was invited. If this was a activity to mark the end of the 40th anniversary, what’s wrong with the PM and his Ministers taking center stage? Seeing that the opposition advised their supporters to stay away, it still was a massive crowd that perhaps intimidated the opposition.

    What we are witnessing is just another stratagem wicked, evil tactics of Roosevelt Skerrit. This guy knows that Dominicans sit back and do nothing to help themselves, nevertheless they like to talk about prayer, prayer and praying to God works, but in the case of a politician used by the devil to impose on the by using prayer, will not work.

    For Jesus said in vane the worship me!

    There is another part of scripture in which Jesus said some will say we drove out demons in thy name; but Jesus said he will say to them yes; but I know you not! Now that is not verbatim to the scripture, but it is in the Bible look it up as it is written.

    It is all cheap psychology Roosevelt is using on gullible religious fanatics to make them believe he is a Christian, therefore they must vote for him. Plenty are deceived by the devil! The term theism means many gods, which one is the stage actors serving!

        If I wrote an article on  DNO or even in the middle of the sky you can be assured the caption would be under my birth name and not a fictitious name.  In Dominica writers, and commutators write under fictitious names because they fear the dictator Roosevelt Skerrit!

        They fear his evils ways of victimization, and reprisal; in my case I do not fear not even the devil in hell never mind  human men or women: you want to know why?

        ” For greater is he that is in me than Satan that is in the world.”

        I have power over the devil, hence if the devil is under my feet, I don’t see how I can have any fear of you or a man craved to be called doctor; goes out of his way to buy fake doctoral degrees simply to be called Dr. Punjab/Duquesne

Election is closing in, he does not have much more lies to tell about going to take Dominica to the next level, or “I am going to transform Dominica,” nor can he say he is going to China to get help to build International Airport.

    He can no longer produce any painting showing how he is going to transform Dominica, and the rest of the Caribbean and the rest of the world use Dominica as a model to develop their country; even the United States of America.

    He thought talking about building a resilient country which is nonsense would mesmerized the mind of the nation, now that did no work, he is  trying to make a mockery of God, by bringing people into the country playing preacher and false Prophet.

    God is not mocked!

      Dominica comes no where close. First, for resilience vision to be initiated, all arms of public office must be empowered to plan and execute strategies towards a unified vision.

      A one man show is a failure from the jump.

    The bible told us watch out for false prohets. Dominicans think when these men are around they will have a sign saying false. The reason the devil is powerful is because he uses the same deceptive tactics. It works on those who are blinded by the gifts and seemingly good deeds which have alterior motives. We are not all stupid. You aske for unity from the entire country, where are the other leaders who represent a significant sector of the population? You asking for unity while sowing division, while using state funds for a labour event and i would not be suprised there was a diliberate attempt to not where red so it would not be so obvious. You asking for the Catholic Bishop? That retart been silent on the violent crime increase, silent on the molestation of our kids, silent on the abuse of power remember his mouth was sealed with 500k.

      When people live in a country where the evils of victimization exists, and one can be victimized by the tyrant Roosevelt may be by Roosevelt talking their job away people have to be careful by not disclosing their names.

      Let me show you the level of Roosevelt wicked mind. A man left Canada on the invitation of Roosevelt to do a certain job, I will not say what in order to avoid the man family from getting victimized.

      Nevertheless, the man from Canada, went to she shop one day  to some cooking oil, when he got out of the shop, sitting in his car ready move, a demonstration against Roosevelt was in progress, the man was obstructed, and could not move his car.

      Someone of Roosevelt puppets, bit of garbage saw the man from Canada, a Dominican sitting in his car on the side of the road, went and told Roosevelt the man was demonstrating against him. the was immediately fired!

      • Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
        November 29, 2018

        Lots of errors in this: but the moral here is simply this, Roosevelt brought this Dominican out of Canada to work in Dominica, the man went to buy some cooking oil; he got stock on the side of the road, he could not drive off because of a crowed of people and cars driving past him demonstrating against Roosevelt.

        One of Roosevelt garbage puppets saw the man car parked with him sitting in it, that piece of garbage went and told Skerrit the Dominica, man from Canada was demonstrating against “he Skerrit.” Hence the same day Roosevelt fired the man he invited to leave Canada to return to Dominica to head an institution.

        I hope it is better understood now.

    But what kind of prophet is that Barbadian prophet nou? A true prophet would look at those on stage with him and would ask, is there anyone that was married before and they got married again and their first husband spouse is still alive? Then the prophet would say thus saith the Lord In Rom. 7:2-3 “For example, the Law says that a man’s wife must remain his wife as long as he lives. But once her husband is dead, she is free 3to marry someone else. However, if she goes off with another man while her husband is still alive, she is said to be unfaithful.”.

      Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! 

      You know something; the Roman Catholics are hypocrites, they say they do not give divorce, nor do they married divorce people unless their pope authorize it. So, how come the Roman Catholic so called church in Dominica married the damage bit of merchandise to a high up politician Nu? 

      No name no warrant eh: ( I  know plenty, but I doh talking eh, nobody doh can get me talking eh!)

      I have a friend, he was Married, and divorced, from an English woman, he decided to married to a Dominican, before that could happen, he went to Rome to get permission to marry his Dominica wife; he is also Dominican.

      And this is not from the old Television Series: “Ripley’s  Believe It or Not.”

      “However, if she goes off with another man while her husband is still alive, she is said to be unfaithful.”. A true prophet sees God’s Word and prophesies God’s Word. ”

      In reality the word should be “adultery.” Now God never told anyone; woman, or man to remain with a husband, or wife if they are getting brutalized; and mistreated. However, if one must divorce their husband or wife, they should remain single, by themselves, hence getting married married to someone else will cause the person to commit adultery.

      God also said if the divorce person have the desire for a man or woman, that divorce man or woman should return to their wife or husband! Now Francisco is not God, a woman divorced me; I tried hard to salvage my marriage, before I know it that woman went and married to a man who himself wife divorced him.

      In any event, if it is wrong it is; no matter Prophet, and voodoo do not superseded God word!

    I’ve said numerous times that everything Roosevelt Skerrit does is meticulously calculated for political advantageousness. He surrounds himself with people who live outside the circumference of decency, honesty, fairness and humility. His Senior Counsel, his Barbarian advisors, the Trinidadian lawyer, the Speaker and his entire Cabinet of Ministers are uncouth, uninspiring, ultra selfish and try their utmost best to obliterate the concept of truth. He spends public funds without any transparency or accountability. His wife reminds me of the Filipino socialite, Imelda Marcos, whose only claim to fame is sporting pricey shoes, clothing, handbags and jewelry. She hops in and out of Dominica like a tourist with her ostentatious display of trendy outfits.
    Mr. Skerrit’s ego is overly inflated and he likes it to be massaged. The airport celebration for receiving an non-academic, useless doctorate speaks volumes about this man’s obsession with himself. Vote the narcissist out!

What better time to fool people. The devil preys on the week and vulnerable. We all thought he was young and then he deserved a chance. But that was then. We all see the records of what he has become. I am afraid the taste of power by a man who had nothing but a personal chip because of his history, made him lost his mind. Its time for a new direction. What has increased in Dominica: National debt, poverty, dependency, welfare, brain drain, violent crimes including murder and armed robbery, victimization, laziness, division, hate, natural disasters, neglect of state infrastructure, foriegn takeover, sale of passports to crooks…..

    After all, there’s no need for hospitals, funeral homes & cemeteries when you have such a man professing to have healing & dead-raising capabilities.

    By the way, is Dominica now a colony of Barbados?

    – Ross University gone Barbados

    – Skerrit’s main political advisor & recently-appointed economic advisor – from Barbados; key pollster from Barbados

    – The company which built that ’18 million dollar’ bridge – from Barbados

    – Construction of pre-cast homes in Dominica to be done by an ‘entity’ from Barbados; same entity were and/or may still be associated with the housing units in Coverley, Barbados for Ross students come January 2019

    Mr. Prime Minister you messed up, knowing that Dominicans from all sectors of the society, red, blue, yellow, green, Catholics, evangelicals, protestants and even atheists would be present at a genuine Thanksgiving concert, you had no reason to bring in this False Prophet of doom.
    From my own discernment, he did cast a curse on you. Take note he blew the instrument eight times instead of seven and said the additional one was for change and a new beginning, none of these two visions pertain to you.
    I’ll stop here and concur with the writer; how dare you and your wife insult my intelligence? Shame!
