Dominicans living in New York have been told to make their dissatisfaction known by putting their boots on the ground in the big city to walk for peace and prosperity.
The walk dubbed, ‘Dominican Diaspora Solidarity Walk for Peace and Prosperity’ is scheduled for Saturday, April 9th.
A concerned Dominican citizen residing in New York, Adelaide Paul, told Dominica News Online (DNO) the walk is aligned to a similar activity organized by Atherton ‘Arthie’ Martin last week.
“We are not changing anything…we are doing it for Dominicans on the ground; we are doing it because, as a Dominican living in the Diaspora, we do represent Dominica and so whatever joys or sorrow Dominicans in Dominica are experiencing, we are directly and indirectly impacted by it,” she said. “It is not a protest; it is not a march. We are going to be walking quietly and at peace…”
Paul continued, “We are calling for the very same thing Dominicans are calling for which is peace, justice.”
She added, “Keeping in line with the justice, peace and prosperity that Athie Martin, who was inspirational, called for, we just want to provide support to those on the ground who have been courageous.”
According to her, there is a need for a “just and fair system” for all Dominicans and based on what’s going on in Dominica, she believes that the system is very selective.
“Without justice, we cannot get peace,” Paul stressed.
She believes that there is an emotional war in Dominica “when you see so many people unemployed and struggling to get by, when you see the constant victimization and oppression of those who don’t support the status core.”
Paul explained that one of the things the group noticed with Dominicans on the ground is that there is constant talk and nothing happens or there is a fear of standing up, “and so, just for the support that we want to give them to continue that process, we are willing to walk with them.”
She lamented that Dominica’s natural resources that can be used to make Dominica one of the top rated countries in the world, are “misused and even abused.”
Meanwhile, Paul revealed that a petition will be presented to Dominicans to sign, addressing the immediate resignation or termination of Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN), Loreen Bannis-Roberts.
“We do not want her to wait until the 31st for her resignation to take effect; we call on the immediate resignation or termination of Mrs. Bannis- Roberts,” she stated.
The group is also calling for the resignation of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Dr. Kenneth Darroux and Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit, “because we think that this whole Syria Saga has not gone away.”
“If he claims there was no knowledge by neither he nor [the] foreign minister, it clearly shows the incompetence in our governance and the manner in which business is done,” she added.
The news broke recently that Dominica had signed an agreement establishing diplomatic relations with Syria through its Permanent Representative to The United Nations, Bannis-Roberts.
Prime Minister Skerrit has confirmed that Ambassador Bannis-Roberts has resigned from her position effective May 31st (though she is on leave with immediate effect) as permanent representative to the UN following a face-to-face meeting with her in March.
He distanced himself and his administration from the Ambassador’s decision to sign on to diplomatic relations with Syria and stated that “for the record, neither the minister nor the Ministry of Foreign affairs gave instructions or expressed interest in, or…the desire to pursue the establishment of relations with Syria at this or any foreseeable time”.
As a sign of a symbol for peace, participants in the New York walk are encouraged to wear something white.
The group will gather at Ralph Bunche Park in New York, next to the UN Headquarters, and walk to the Dominican Consulate from 11:00am to 1:00pm.
“Dominica is fine and doing good. We in America, the white man’s land, have to worry about ourselves and better ourselves which can be very challenging and frustrating. What is all that protest going to do for you, brother?(ds).
So ds, you are confirming that you are in America struggling, if you know that you would struggle less in Dominica, why don’t you go home?
you see you are not only contradicting yourself, you are proving that you are just another corrupted confound lire!
I came to America in May of 1980, after living more than half my life in Europe, (Germany, and England, and on the island of Antigua, moved out of Dominica, at around 14, or 16 years old.
Nevertheless, if I lived better in any of the place I lived prior to migrating to America, I would not take the white man crap in America, I would have returned to the place which I believe is better than America.
ds, I like Dominica, it the land of my birth:
ds, I like Dominica because it is the place of my birth, my children who are not born there, I took them to visit my parents when they were alive; they are fascinated with the rivers, not the polluted ones: the mountains, green trees, grass, and most of all the green cooked bananas, yams, dashine, tanya too!
Such are my pleasure also, nevertheless; that could not draw me back to Dominica, when I know I could die from the simplest medical emergency, in one of the nation’s butchers hop called hospitals, at the hands of some Chines or Cuban quacks.
Why would anyone desire to live in a place where industries, and employment are not on the government agenda; rather the nation economy is based on the sale of passports to criminals?
ds, if you were sure that life is good in Dominica, you would not be in America or the Virgin Islands if you are struggling for survival; and be informed I know plenty of Dominicans here whose lives are much better off than if they were living Roosevelt!
“off than if they were living Roosevelt!”
Well, I meant better off than if they were in Dominica living under Roosevelt Skerrit, and his corrupted regime.
I doubt you are serious about struggling in America, because if I was in a white man country, (sucking sault) as we say in Dominica, meaning we are going through extreme hardship, or in misery.
There is no way I would remain in that country when I know there is a bed of roses belonging to me in Dominica.
You are either crazy, mad, a raving lunatic, or a damn liar whom Roosevelt Skerrit, that corrupted crook put you up to write such a lie!
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!
You are caught, captured by the Wesley kid, I am a sleuth eh; I’ll flush Roosevelt corruption out, he will be busted by me sometime in the future!
What I am confirming is that you are an as. hole from Wesley, one of the most backward villages in Dominica. I guess with the coming on board, Roosevelt Skerrit International Airport, Wesley will soon be most talked about village.
Guy, you are a fool you know!
Haven’t you heard that Wesley, was the village in Dominica, which at one time produced the most Agricultural produce; prior to that people came from all over the Caribbean in the 1920’s 30’s and even into the 1950’s to work on the agricultural plantations.
As a result the Villages of Marigot was born?
Don’t you know that Education as we know it in Dominica, originated in Wesley on the Londonderry Estate?
Don’t you know the first Methodist Church built in Dominica was built in Wesley,and stood there until hurricane Maria destroyed it. Don’t you know the first private school in Dominica was organized in Wesley more than a hundred years ago, which is still standing there, at the four corners near to the police station.
What is wrong wrong with you?
Don’t you know Wesley people ensured we had asphalt roads all over the village built by the village counsel, under the supervision of Arnold Telemaque, Kenneth Telemaque, and company?
You see, you are casting insults at, when you do not know any history about Dominica, you are dumb!
What is the reason that Marigot, and Wesley people to this very day don’t speak or understand patios, and why do we have a different accent to the rest of Dominica.
Ponder on that and try and take be you disgusting lie that Wesley is a backward place!
You do not know so shut up!
Dominica’s first Ambassador to a foreign country, was from Wesley, in the person of Simon Richards. I name hundreds of others, the list will be to long.
If you think insults will do you some good it is only exposing your true ignorance you entertain, you not as educated as you claim.
You are ranting and raving talking fart supporting a damn thief, while the thief and his family getting rich off passport money, you in some hole in some mans country suffering, at least that is the impression yo conveyed in tour own words.
Boy, kill yourself fight for Roosevelt, you will not get anything from…
I am not going to take time out to correct every error I have in the above; use them against against me; but they will not cover your deficiencies.
Anybody calling Wesley a backward place must be someone lacking intelligence!
For you stupid information guy, in the 20’s and even the early 1950’s Merchant ships came to Marigot, and discharged cargo, and merchandise, right where you the Fisheries now stand.
They would go to Wesley to Walkers Rest Bay, to discharge, and load cargo, Agricultural that is, the old Winches used in that process were left standing there up to 1959 that is the last time I saw them.
The also docked at Woodford Hill Bay.
You do not know what you are talking about, call me as much of a hole as you wish, it is not going to help or elevate you in this life; and I can assure you Roosevelt will not lift you and your family out of your poverty!
Hahahahahahahah!
You don’t believe what I said above; asks my cousin Lois Robinson, next time he is on…
Some dogs don’t even know why they’re fighting. They just fight ’cause their master put them in the pit..all the benefit goes to the master though..smh!!
Dominica will never go anywhere divided. and we must be strong enough to resist defending Political party just because.
Stand for country my ppl. demand fairness and stellar service from our leaders. Not self servient throw a dog a bone kinda nonsense.
That CBI alone brought enough money over the last 20 years to take every Dominican in Dominica out of economic hardship. What has happened instead?
Most of the world continues to go about their business while oblivious to the crisis in Ukraine. This is exactly why I absolutely do not believe that marching or walking in a city notorious for apathy and self-centeredness will draw any attention of note to concerns in a tiny Eastern Caribbean countrty.
It would be more prudent to concentrate legal expressions of protest on the domestic front where the citizenry should be more intimately and infinitely aware of the day-to-day challenges of trying to make ends meet. Remember charity, comradarie and solidarity begins at home.
This forum has turned into a regular insult fest. There seems to be no limit to the depth of depravity of folks who are using this forum to hurl insults at each other instead of agreeing to respectfully disagree.
DNO, you might have to throw the grown *ss babies out with the dirty bath water if this one degenerates any further.
It’s tragic, anyway you cut it. You leave home for a “better” life, what no one is ever saying is how much more difficult life is for the majority of people in the diaspora. Even relatives that invite you to come stay with them will turn on you as soon as you realize that they struggling more than you were in dominica.
People are sleeping on church benches, gross basement apartments, no heat, etc etc but so much pride they won’t open their mouth and talk.
I really hope these politicians or aspiring politicians see the work that they’ve done, dominica is for Dominicans we should be able to live and prosper in our homeland. Realize our dreams instead of dealing with partisan politics, red tape and a massive lack of imagination on the part of our leaders. We should have to leave like refugees for better education, jobs etc
Where did you get overseas based Dominicans are struggling in the manner that you stated?
I know a lot of Dominicans and they span the range financially. Some are just making ends meet, but the vast majority of Dominicans that I know who live in the US and Canada are doing very well by any standard. I know a lot of Dominicans.
Complete waste of time, time that could be spent helping the many thousands of Dominicans living in poverty in New York. Help those folks improve themselves instead of spending time on something which is not going to accomplish anything. Some of those folks have been in America for 20, 30, 40 years with nothing to show for the time spent overseas. They’ve been working 2, 3 and 4 jobs and still live in basements. Ms. Paul should focus on the folks in her own backyard before worrying about the folks in Dominica who are probably better off living in all those nice new apartments that’s going up all over island. If she’s really concerned about Dominicans, lets see some action taking place with the folks in New York. Lets hear some success stories, then she will be viewed as someone who really cares and has the interest of Dominicans at heart. Until then, she’s just another empty vessel trying to rock the boat in Dominica.
DS,Lin clown is a Dominican American,do you think President Joseph Biden from Delaware would take a second look at a bunch of black traitors trying to bring their country down?These people are walking because most of them are unemployed,living on foodstamps and section 8.Earl Williams a former minister of Public Works,attorney at law former UWP leader and park rep for Salisbury was usually seen playing dominoes at Knee knee put and Steve Gabriel late at nights.Fact.A bunch of lazy UWP waste of time looking for attention.Walking for Dominica and
they do not have a square foot of land in Dominica to plant a tree of fig.Biden hate traitors,who would sell their mothers for rice.I have seen a lot of people who,if they had stayed in Dominica,would be far better of than they are in the USA and that is a fact.
Yes Brain damage,I thought the grass was greener on the other side,when I left my good paying job in Dominica.Like you,IBO France,Francisco-DOG and Jonathan,I am unemployed,living in a basement on unemployment and foidstamps,barely surviving on food from a soup kitchen.That is how most of those DON keys live,and they blame Skerrit for their miserable life.Do not be ashamed come back home,do like the prodigal son.We know you all have failed,especially supporters of the corrupt UWP.Braindamage did you know UWP lost 1,163 votes in the last election?whether in NewYork or Dominica,the majority of Dominicans do not want to hear about UWP.Did you also know UWP was kicked out of office for corruption,victimization and greed?Something the PEOPLE don’t see in DLP,if they did DLP would be kicked out like UWP.Waste of time party and supporters(UWP).
Hey guys, something important to think about and meditate on. Vance Amory, the former Premier of Nevis and a former opening batsman in the seventies for Nevis, the Leeward Islands and the Combined Islands, has passed away in England. I am also your sports reporter. He was 72.
Thanks for the information. At least some cricketing news in a no cricket island.
Sorry, Vance cannot join us for our walk again.
Oh; man I am sorry to hear that, he was related to my children, he was cousin to my former wife, and the late Tim Hector; he called my former wife “sis.”
May his soul rest in peace!
ds, if you remember the off Spinner Eustas Matthew of Antigua, he was related to him also, the late Eustas ” Toss” Matthew was the uncle of my former wife.
A great cricketer, very good bat-man, scored plenty of runs!

But ds, if you think the passing (demised) of Vance will cause a distraction, that we can’t see Athie March today, you are mistaken.
But anyway, thanks for posting the news about the passing of Vance, the last time I was involved in a conversation about him I believe is when he was appointed Ambassador to some place.
She should go march for peace and prosperity for the hundreds of Dominicans living in poverty in New York.Dominica is a free country,so much so people can be caught laundering over $2,000,000 and still contest election.
There are tens of thousands of Dominicans in Dominican living in wrecked poverty due to the discriminatory, selfish and unwise policies of the WORST prime minister in the Caribbean probably the world.
Clown, living in poverty in America, is totally different to live in poverty in Dominica you know.
You need to remember, that many Dominicans, and nationals from other countries come into the United States on visitor’s Visa and they never return home. These people who are not residence of the country, are unable to work, because they cannot even get a social security number which one must present when applying for a job!
Some of these people may find unscrupulous employers who exploit such people and may even pay them less than the minimum wage, so life will be a struggle for such people.
Then there are others who are documented, nevertheless, because of their educational background they might be Mr. and Miss this on whatever job they have in Dominica but will never get a “good” job here unless the decide to go to school and get educated to the system.
A nurse, teacher, doctor, in Dominica cannot immigrate into America, and simply apply for such position and get…
Here is an example you nasty Roosevelt Skerrit Clown:
“When Foreign Educated Physicians (FEPs) move to the United States, they face many barriers that make it extremely difficult to establish their practice as US-certified medical doctors. First, foreign-born physicians must reside in the US for two years before they are eligible to obtain the appropriate Visa needed to practice as an MD. They must also pass two parts of the US Medical Licensing Examination, and match with and complete a residency program – a highly competitive process, as many American-trained physicians can attest to.
Because the process can become lengthy and expensive, many FEPs find themselves either accepting less qualified positions as CNAs or phlebotomists or leaving the medical field altogether in pursuit of other low-paying jobs in order to provide for their families.
Nurses, and teachers face these same difficulties, the alternative is to get educated in the American system of their profession.
What happen to those waste of time there. they are in the so call big apple and have to work two jobs to make ends meet, when they want money to pay their high bills they asking us in DA to help them and now they want to walk for peace. Just a little story of that woman from Portsmouth and you wont believe. We in DA are not responsible for all you misfortune, so leave us alone we are happy people in DA, thank you.
Talk for yourself and your family about your relatives begging you to send money to the US.
Dominicans in Dominica are happy? You hear lie? That is an overweight lie. It’s just as obese as the one Skerrit told about Mrs Roberts and the Syria saga.
‘Everybody in Dominica I’d happy’. Even the desperate Haitians abandoning this ship. Conditions onboard are suffocating.
You need to shut up!
Anybody, living in America, whether you have a job or not, unless you are illegal (undocumented) there is always a place from where you will get a cheque, if you are not gainfully employed; and it will be more than the three-hundred-dollar (US$111.11) Roosevelt gives to you all in a manila envelope marked “From the prime minister!
And when you get money from any governmental source in America, it is not from any corrupted thieving source, it is American taxpayers’ money.
Who the hell living in America was going to find themselves in a bad position to a point where they will ask anybody in Dominica, for money to pay their bill? Anybody who thinks that is an idiot!
Some of you are so dumb, you come here with nothing in your head wishing to live of food stamps, it’s not that easy, those are the suckers who might be here suffering!
That is what makes Americans and Dominicans living in America lazy, unproductive, no ambition, no pride. Food stamps, welfare checks, disability checks. We do not need that in Dominica. Dominicans in Dominica pride themselves on working hard to achieve.
“It is not a protest; it is not a march. We are going to be walking quietly and at peace…”
Common get real; it is what is a march, and a protest; if it is not then it cannot be anything else; we need to call a spade!
The difference is in America, if you apply for a permit to protest or march in the streets, it will be granted; even if the protesters, and marchers are given a designated route to follow, unlike Dominica.
If it is a protest against Roosevelt Skerrit, and his crooked regime, we must make known, we have to expose Roosevelt Skerrit corruption to the World, we need to let the world know that Roosevelt is a corrupted dictator who has ruined progress and development in the country.
The organized in Dominica, must call on Dominicans residing across the Caribbean Canada, and in Europe to get into the streets simultaneously and protest, show our dissatisfaction with the Skerrit dictatorship, and the misery he perpetrates on our people!
Francisco, will you be a dead man walking as well? I say just asking old boy!!!
But Man Dog, can you read?
What does dead man have to do with what I said in regard to the passing of Vance Amory?
You see Man-Dog, I read plenty of crap about me written by low life Dominicans, out of nowhere.
But learn this, although I know I was born poor, I consider myself a privilege kid, born to a family on both side with names. Names in Dominica, which resonate across the Caribbean and opened many doors for me.
Hence, I become involved with lots of important and educated people!
When I say I knew Vance, it’s not only by name I knew; I knew him in the flesh and blood.
He was a member of the Leward Island Cricket team, each time they played the Winward or any other team in Antigua, the man came to by home, where I entertained him, and other members of both team who came along with him!
Guy, I am not a nobody as many of you think, okay!
I don’t mind a little insult now and then, but rubbish talk I shall not tolerate!
Are you crazy, man? Dominicans having a hard life in America and elsewhere and you talking about marching for peace and prosperity. Most of them have not prospered in the big cities where the grass is greener. That is what you need to talk about and pray for. Dominica is doing well. Is there marching in New York going to change their lifestyle? No. They are still struggling in New York. They cannot even buy a house back home in their country and they live where the grass is greener. Do you think that Skerrit has anything to do with that? Francois, stop being ridiculous. Dominicans back home are doing just fine. Worry about those living in New York and other cities and struggling, living from day to day. A march for what? Do you think I have time to listen to Athie Martin, the man whom you said destroyed the banana industry.
ds, it is one thing to talk rubbish, criticize, but Lin Clown, the real clown does not know what the hell he is talking about, and you are way out there running around like a chicken with it head chopped off.
I can tell you that not all Dominicans in America are successful, but I assure you I have never cross path with any Dominican here who are as poor as the average Dominican living at home, in Dominica.
America is a place where what you put into it you reap what you sew: if a person comes here with their mediocre education out of Dominica believing it is going to help them here, they will end up holding the short end of the stick.
They had better get educated into something that is the order of the day.
and no matter what, a good education is not always the key to success, you have to be able to apply yourself and create your successes.
ds, you need to stop this nonsense that Dominicans at home doing fine; when there are people can’t eat without handouts!
Will they be walking for justice for the young man who was publicly executed in the streets and for the prosperity of Dominicans living in abject poverty in New York And other cities in the US, unable to rub two cents together to send to their families left behind when they fled to so called greener pastures? We are living in peace here in DA. The same cannot be said for the many black people killed by white police in the US.
Amen. Well said.
Your diversionary tactics won’t work here eagle.
What Eagle-Eyed has said is the plain truth and nothing but the truth. Why would I worry about people back home who are better off than me and doing better than me up there in the big apple when I should be praying to God asking him to help me out out my sad situation in the big apple. It is a rough world out here in America, brother. Skerrit is taking good care of his people back home. A lot of these guys like Athie Martin are just disgruntled and frustrated with themselves because they could not get Skerrit to give them what they wanted. Skerrit is no fool, brother.
As if Joe Biden don’t know what is happening in Dominica.Joe Biden are looking at Paul and the other crooks as traitors to their country.Having lived in NewYork for years I bet these unemployed,on unemployment AHOLES will be looked on as traitors to their country.The NYPD will be keeping a close eye on those traitors,waiting for the opportunity to arrest them.The state of NewYork is paying rent for hundreds of Dominicans on the Section 8 programme.Skerrit has,and is giving thousands of Dominicans .Free houses.It would do Paul better to look after the welfare of Dominicans living in the USA.While these people live in sardine like conditions,5,6 and 7 using oae bathroom,one toilet,one sittingroom and one stove,Dominicans do NOT live that way.Paul should get those house N to do something positive for Dominica instead of walking in a racist country where the black man is treated like dogs. A handful of black Dominicans marching in a white country against a black country on pure…
This woman is such a JACKA she should look out for the wellbeing of Dominicans living in NewYork.We are living better in Dominica than they are in NewYork.There are a large number of Dominica living under the section 8 programme.There are hundreds of Dominican single parents living on welfare and foodstamps.Hundreds of young Dominicans living in basements on drugs.Hundreds if not thousands of Dominicans living on the streets,White Plains Road,North Bronks,42nd street subway station on drugs and alcohol in poverty.These lazy individuals should go to Cee Cee”s and the numerous Chinese store in NewYork,canal street buy some cheap $10 jeans,$5 and $7 shoes and send to the people,the say are poor in Dominica.How many of these people who care for Dominica so much have a business in and employing a single person in Dominica.Thousands of Dominicans who were renting are now living in their own $250,000 and $300,000 houses and apartments,Hundreds of Dominicans want to come home,too broke to…
Clown, pretends as if he living in Dominica.
Living in the same category of living on Food Stamps…
Awaiting for a plane ticket from Skerrit.
It’s good for President Biden to flush you all out to Dominica…..
Well said Lin Clown, every word you said is God given true,
Shut up Ibo,talk to the hands.
Shut up you ugly nasty dog, clown; you are a corrupted dog, a slave of Roosevelt Skerrit upholding his corruption; in the process of destroying Dominica. Just because some corrupted man gives away some shacks some without toilet; to his supporters, the red devils, does not mean progress in a country.
What is going to happen when the sale of Dominica passports are declared null and void?
A government cannot provide jobs for every citizen of the country, nevertheless, the Government should be in a position to attract industrial investors into the country to create and provide jobs to the people especially the youths.
“Freebes” as the Antiguan’s say is not the way out of poverty; “for by the sweet of the brow, thou shall eat bread.”
The only people who gets rich without working are the thieving politicians in Dominica, to call the woman a jackass (donkey) will not help you, because you bray worst than a donkey. Admin in the English language a jackass, is a male donkey!
Not…
So, yes Admin, the word is not so much profanity all though some people may define the word:
a stupid person.
synonyms:
idiot · halfwit · nincompoop · blockhead · buffoon · dunce · dolt ·
a male ass or donkey.
synonyms:
ass · jenny · mule · hinny · burro · cuddy
Now those people who use the terms above besides meaning a male donkey, they are lower than the words meant to be derogatory!
And in conclusion I need to ask Clown, how many investors has Roosevelt Skerrit brought into Dominica, from the time he first became prime minister to now?
We know how many people gave millions of dollars to say build hotels, and as much as $20,000,000.00 free pocket money to come, how many people are employed.
We however, know how many foreign business including Ross Medical School he cased from the after operating in Dominica for more than forty years!
The puppets of Roosevelt, and Roosevelt; all need to take a dive in the Atlantic and never surface, Dominica can do without…
Is this what you want to turn this forum into with your kind language and descriptions of people.
@Francisco, You just remember and realized I am not working for the great Man Pm Dr Skerrit, l am voicing for all Dominicans future ugly Lenny, is totally unacceptable useless person that could not fry an egg 🥚 Lugay, and lemon 🍋 head just likewise what the hell have you got absolutely nothing.
You are not only a dog face, you and ds, Gary, Lin Clown, that liar Pinocchio, and all of you defending the dictator, that damn th… Roosevelt Skerrit are nothing more than puppets!
Hahahahahahahahahahahaahah!
Here is what you all are: “a puppet is a movable model, usually made out of cheap paper pulk of a person or animal that is used in entertainment and is typically manipulated either by strings controlled from above by Roosevelt Skerrit or by his hand inside of you all hungry belly eh!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha!
All-day all-night Roosevelt manipulates your mind so that you cannot see the damage he has done and is causing the country, while he fleeces the country.
You poor souls are defending the worst of the worst corrupted kleptomaniac this world has ever encountered. (Kleptomaniacs thief anything in their path that is not nailed down, cast in concrete eh!).
Roosevelt is doctor of what Man-dog?
What medical discipline has Roosevelt Skerrit perused; took an examination to earn his doctorate; and in what field of medicine, he practices?
The ignoramus bought two pieces of useless papers, and talking crap that is for Dominica, as if those nonsense are Ph. D’s earned.
I hear some of his supports said he majored in English, however, when he graduated, they gave him a degree in psychology eh!
Do, you know anything about that?
Hahahahahahahahahahah!
Let me just give you a hint; if your major is English, you must graduate with either a Masters in English, or some other upper-level degree in English, you can’t be an English Major and graduate with a degree in psychology, at least not in America!
Now English might be one of the prerequisites to majoring in psychology!
The level of ignorance and hate is astounding
There are tens of thousands of Dominicans in Dominican living in wrecked poverty due to the discriminatory, selfish and unwise policies of the WORST prime minister in the Caribbean probably the world.
Clown, you keep mentioning people living in houses which cost EC$300,000.00 dollars, that is simply a matter of US$111,111.11.
Then EC$250,000.00 is simple US$92,592.59, so you are boasting nothing!
Compare that to the cost of Roosevelt first home he built in the village from which he came, that house cost millions of dollars, and he build it before he was making EC$7,000.00 per month- US$2,592.60 how can this be; that is the corrupted man you are prepared to hang for.
You do not know the value of money, some people drive cars in America more than a hundred-eleven thousand dollars; and this is not a boast, I have more than one costing more than what you boasting.
Shut up you corrupted crook!
The people are at least waking up to the many sad realities of life in Dominica and expressing their strong disapproval of the corrupt government.
If changes in the governance of the country are not had, then, the pressure and heat must be stepped up several degrees against the incumbent dictatorship. Dominica will never achieve pole position in the OECS economically, infrastructually or otherwise. Reason – the present man in the OPM is an expert LIAR but a supremely incompetent LEADER.
Getting the rid of this evil doer will defeat victimization, thievery, persecution, oppression, suppression, ostracisation, police brutality, injustice, false arrest, etc.
With good governance, Dominica will rise to be the bread basket of the Caribbean and not remain as a basket case as it is at present.
What Lin Clown is saying that the green pastures have done them no good justice. Dominicans back home are living better off than them up here in the big apple. These are the sad realities of life we need to talk about. I know of a friend who had a stroke and now lives in the basement of somebody’s home living on disability in the Bronx. This is not progress in the big apple. These are the sad realities that they wake up to from their slumber to every god given morning. Dominicans back home are just fine and doing well. These women who talk about marching on the streets of New York, lots of them have not progressed in the big apple. That is just a show off for nothing. As I have said before, any young man or woman who migrates to the States they should have one goal in mind and that is to get a higher education which is the passport to success. A higher education will enable you to get a good paying job and live happily ever. My daughter will be graduating with her Master this May.
For the life of me I just cannot believe this guy Ibo is a born Dominican, believe me his heart is black as a pot bottom typically one that would steal a homeless man bread from his mouth!!
The best coffee is black; the best chocolate is black; the richest soil is black. What’s your problem with the colour black? The residue of slavery and colonialism lives on in you. Emancipated your mind from mental slavery.
Man-dog, if he was in Roosevelt Skerrit’s connor lying and defending that damn th…. that corrupted crook as you are doing, you would have praised lbo, as the best Dominican to have walked the planet!
Right/
Well, some people live in reality, they know when to call a spade a spade, to people like who kisses Roosevelt that gutter rat behind give praises to him only because you wish to be in Roosevelt Nitch, but I am sure Roosevelt could care less about your existence.
Go ahead sacrifice your life’s for that gutter rat Roosevelt, but if you all die before him, when he learn of your demise, the first question he will asks is ” where are their graves?
He will order his goon to take him to where you are buried, and dance on your graves in celebration that he will not have to deliver to you what he promised you all.
Glad to hear that people had enough. Skerrit and his cabal are liability to our country. With him there will never again be peace, justice and prosperity for our island and its citizens.
Are you a broke lawyer in need of some CBI money? Since you are a lawyer take Skerrit to court or slap him across his face.
None left, you and Skerrit taken it all, Jacka.
The very same people marching in New York for prosperity, most of them have not made any progress in the big apple. What you can’t do for self, you can’t do for no one else, cause every tub affe sit on his own bottom and every man affe stand on his own two feet.
I honestly think that it would do you all good if you march for peace and justice in Brooklyn and Bronx for Dominicans who are being senselessly killed in the big apple and New Jersey and nothing has been done to arrest suspects and bring some closure to their families. That would make better sense. The signing of an agreement with a brutal regime in Syria has been revoked and everybody is moving on. Dominica is still the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
@ds
Great damage has been done to the country. Foreign Direct Investment will take a colossal hit for the foreseeable future. What credible investors would want to invest multiple millions in a country that could become a hotbed for some of the world’s most brutal terrorists?
Your statement about just move on because someone has resigned shows a combination of gross simplicity, superficial thinking and thoughtlessness.
If we allowed Skerrit and his dictator-loving administration to get away with this, what’s next? Is it signing diplomatic relationship with North Korea?
DS, form your Black Lives Matter group too..
and have a walk about the killings that are taking place..
Just there sucking American Food Stamps and awaiting a plane ticket from Skerrit to come down to vote…
Shtttt….
Brother, I have a Master Degree in Finance, a BBA in Accounting and a Chartered Public Accountant license; in Spanish, you would say I am a Contador Publico. I have a great job and living the good life. My daughter graduates with her Master this coming May. Thanks be to God. What are you doing? Living on a shipwreck.
Ds, with all that qualifications, what the pillow you are doing in America,
Come down to suck salt with us in D/ca.
You are over there helping a corrupted Government which is crippling our country.
Wow, another Telemaque. Degrees galore and all of them millionaires.
You have a Master Degree in corruption. That’s it. Full stop.
Ah bet you don’t mind getting married to me? How about that?
I can tell your brain is irreparably damaged. It might take seven surgeons and more to repair your convoluted brain drain.
You guys having your walk tomorrow Wednesday April 6, I don’t have to tell you take one step out of line and see how quickly NY police will be giving you all some good Blows.
Another thing that so-called UWP septic barrel of snakes oil talking about” justice peace and prosperity” what a load crap coming from UWP even their supporters knows it is ugly Lenny, and his group of scallywags meaning people typically behaving badly with no visions looking for a fight with police or any members of the public who happens to support Labour party Government
Thes comments are stuff you only find in a raw sewage tank. Completely use!ess and malodorous!
Dogs, can’t read and understand man?. Very illiterate.
Dogs, the walk will be on Saturday the 9th of Aprill.
Put on your white rubber sandals and white T shirt to join the match…
Don’t forget 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. Shttttt…
Damagebrain, I personally don’t care two s**t about you lots barbar black sheep walks Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,Wednesday if makes no sense whatsoever.
And what is that going to accomplish?
Instead of that walk, they should go do some volunteer work at a shelter or a food bank.
Looking at it on the bright side, at least they are doing some cardio exercises on a cool Saturday morning.
Zandoli, at least this will bring to the attention of President Joe Biden the crookednes of Skerrit Labour Government in Dominica. CNN is monitoring.
Joe Biden is just as crooked as Skerrit is and even more crooked. What is your point? He reneges on his promises to the American people. Just like the emaciated Ron Green who said one time that he was going to write President Obama and let him know that Dominica is full of corruption. He should do what JnoFinn does in he Ron’s spare time.- write some history about La Plaine and tell us more. The last time I went to La Plaine was back in the early seventies and there was no electricity back then. I am walking in sheer darkness bouncing into rocks, canals, houses, culverts and women. No accident. Thank God for that.
ds, I am now convinced that you are mentally ill, you are a born mentally derange person, because only such a person would compare Biden to Roosevelt Skerrit!
ds, in America the president of the United States, cannot simply decide to do something, without first the approval of the House of congress, and then the Senate, okay!
We deal with Checks and balance here, not dictatorship; for your information: checks and balances are a fundamental principle of American government, guaranteed by the Constitution, whereby each branch of the government; executive, judicial, and legislative has some measure of influence over the other branches and may choose to block procedures of the other branches.
In Dominica Roosevelt can call one of his puppets in the government treasury order that puppet to send to his office a blank cheque, with the treasury secretary signature on it; no quest asks.
Roosevelt can use that money without telling anyone what he did with it.
Biden cannot do that!
So Miss/Mr ds, I read where you said you are struggling to make ends meat in America, how could this be when you claimed to have masters degree a BBA: hard to believe!
The Bachelor of Business Administration degree is a bachelor degree in business administration. In the United States the degree is conferred (bestowed) on someone after four years of full-time study in one or more areas of business concentration.
In Europe the degree is bestowed on one after three years of full-time study in one or more areas of business, concentration.
I will not even venture into your masters in accounting; so for me to hear who had more than eight in the study in accounting say they are struggling in America, is somewhat not quite believable.
Something is wrong ds.
ds, I have a daughter, she is not an accountant, she works at home; but once per year she goes to Lousanna, to file income tax returns for people, and makes more than a hundred thousand dollars in the tax season only!
I never said that I am struggling to make ends meet. What Lin Clown, Man bites dog, eagle-eyed and I said, is that Dominicans in New York and others cities in America are struggling to make it, living in poverty and want to march In New York for nothing and they themselves have not progressed. Do not put words in my mouth and I do not need your help, brother. Again, I am educated, into a decent job and living comfortably. We do not need ugly Lenny to be our PM in Dominica. My daughter does not need your help either nor Skerrit’s help.
” I said, is that Dominicans in New York and others cities in America are struggling to make it, living in poverty and want to march In New York for nothing and they themselves have not progressed. (ds)”
Okay, I’ll take that for granted, but let me reminded you not all Dominicans who are here are legally documented, life for them can be difficult.
In any event, I suspect their life is much better off than living a miserable life in Dominica, all caused by that damn little boy Roosevelt Skerrit, that corrupted crook.
Funny thing about; those same people you are talking about given a chance to get a free ticket to fly home to vote on election day, for that free flight, just to go home to impress people they were in America, by the time the get there they vote the crook right back in power.
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 Your So-called Brain is damage for true you out to see a monkey brains specialist he/she will have something to help you wishing you very good luck!!!
@Zandoli- You have yours and living the good life in America and to hell with everyone else!!!!- You and your type are similar to the right wingers in America- no need for folks like you Zandoli.–negative naysayers!!!!- please step aside and enjoy your life Mr. selfish and arrogant ‘wise’ guy- no body has time for you and your type.
Dan…don’t hate brother. We are here to support each other. I just think if you are going to expend energy, you need to get a return on your investment. I don’t put effort without the expectation of a reward. The reward does not have to come to me, but my effort has to be worth something.
Dominica is fine and doing good. We in America, the white man’s land, have to worry about ourselves and better ourselves which can be very challenging and frustrating. What is all that protest going to do for you, brother? Dominica is doing great. Most people are happy with their lives. The ones who are not happy, like you, are the ones who could not get from Skerrit what they wanted and now are saying the grapes are sour.
