Thankyou Mr Royer and Homeboy for bringing a refreshing sense of humour (and good sense) to these pages. I look forward to meeting you in the after life.
Hello Homeboy,
How are you today? I trust you are well. I did not get around to speeaking to either of the guys. I however heard Athie was on Q95 with my boy Blessings. He is a conscious young man who also(in addition tohis crafting) takes time off to plant and consume organic foods.I could not get in touch with Clayton up to this morn.
Homeboy the conference starts mane’ be at the fort young Hotel on time.Pay particular attention.See who comes in look out for The Nassief cousins who will be there to earsdrop.They may choose to send their spies instead to learn of the DOAM plans.Be vigilant the chinese will make a showing also.
Report to me even if I’ll be more thanpresent inthe conference room. Remember the movie Ghost with Dennie Moore & Swazye? I might just move a few things on the tables.They are dumb enough to think it’s an earthquake seeing JA,T&T and Antigua recently had 4,0 plus quakes.
Talk to you soon my son Homeboy,
Which Mr.Royer? I am dead ,have been over a decade plus yrs can’t be me! yes i am the father of DA’s organic produce movement.But that was yesteryear.D/cans are all into not only fast inorganically grown food which carl imports from Miami.We now have KFC’s artery cloggers next to our main market Sub way?? Not sure if they’ve really eating fresh.We have an explosion in happy hour(everywhere tous par tous) it used to be every friday night now it’s every night and day)how about that). While we indulge in the consumption of imported foods the chinese will soon be given hundres of acres to grow food as more migrant workers from haiti and china maybe a few from venezuela to grow food for Mainland China( as is being done in Zimbarbwee currently) The Chinese are planting cash crops wild in Zimbarbwee and exporting it to the mainland china as they need to feed the population there who are demanding and begining to eat better(while we are now eating lomein, orange flavoured chicken and god knows what else.) As sell overour fertile land and the enablers prepare to give up our lands(as we migrate in droves)In Zimbarbwee at least the chinese are meeting a lot of local resistance as they are being left out of (the equation if there is one) we will soon see the old man gone and a state of affairs like Kenya 3 yrs ago.
Ihave spent many years pushing the idea of organic farming more so targetting the youth but has only fallen on death ears. I am gone and am writing to help keep and support the intentions.
I think you guyat DNO ought to be more open to logical and truthful issues posted or rather sent out to your e-paper.DNO is too conservative and love to Cover it’s a*s for want of a better expression.I personally direct my post to Andrew who iam told or have been told is not the one refusing to post my stuff.if so i guess the individuals rejecting em ought to be trained in litigation and the press.Knowledge is structured in consciousness so be conscious of the legal implications and what are not.
i look forward to the little box below : Admin:……………………………….opportunity to write something today.Please do so soberly
DNO : is this a free day to post what ever? I am bewildered.Where’s Andrew? Most of my post went through except one lol! is this a signal of a free press?
Yes Andrew Royer a very knowledgeable pioneer and intellect in the organic industry. I was the extension officer of Eggleston/ Giraudel in Mr Royer’s time and he always scorned the approach to present day agriculture. Back then I did not totally see it but he was right. He was also the individual who practiced what he preached. He used bio gas from the refuse from animal and plant waste. Back then I did not realize what a genius MR Royer was!!!!!
But he documented everything so it would behoove the DOAM to seek some of this from his wonderful wife. Thank you MR Royer for the time I interacted with you!!
you are welcome homeboy.i remeber youalright ,despite you being hard headed.It took my dying and DOAM’s conference to finally convince you. Thanks much.In the next life believe me instantly.if you did when you had to.You could be in control of organic farming today.
i’ll look down on you and speak with the maker on your behalf. be good be well homeboy.
Well Mr Royer I am all for sustainability and I am grateful you will talk to my Creator Yahweh on my behalf. I am destined to contribute to Dominica’s sustainable development. Your approach was silent but unwavering, stern and respectful. Blessings to your family.

Your approach was silent but unwavering, stern and respectful. Blessings to your family. Nothing happens before it’s time so maybe in the future I am destined to be at the forefront of the island’s sustainable drive.
Are Athie and Clayton members of the board or any other positions? These two guys are in the forefront of the organic produce movement.
Well they should make themselves available and. Volunteer their services and knowledge! They should not wait for an invitation.
