The Prime Minister’s son runs to greet him on arrival in Dominica on Tuesday

Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, said that he feels loved, valued and appreciated by his supporters after he received a massive welcome at the Canefield Airport on Tuesday evening.

The Prime Minister arrived in Dominica to much fanfare after he recently received an Honorary Doctorate from the Lovely Professional University in Punjab, India.

But he also took the opportunity to poke fun at Opposition Leader, Lennox Linton and those who have been critical of the award.

“I do not know why others are getting themselves so flustered over this award. If it has no value, why are they so bothered about it? You should not worry about worthless things,” he stated. “If you think that being recognized and honored by the number one university in the most populated country in the world, is not worthy of note, then stop letting it bother you.

He added, “But since I believe that it is of concern to our detractors in the United Workers Party, that I got an award and their leader got none, I shall speak to the Principal of the Dominica Grammar School tomorrow, and seek out an Honorary CXC Certificate for the Leader of the Opposition, Lennox Linton.”

On a more serious note, Skerrit said the experience was a moving one for him.

“But seriously, Brothers and Sisters, it was a very moving experience for me to stand, as leader of one of the smallest populated countries of the world, and be recognized and acknowledged by the intellectual leaders of the largest populated country in the world,” he noted. “I was amazed at how much they knew about Dominica. I was inspired by the high regard with which they hold the governance of this beautiful country.”

He added, “This evening I say to you, my fellow Dominicans, walk tall.Hold your heads high. This country is respected by many. This country is admired by many. This country is revered by many.”

He said although the award bears his name, it is in honor of all the people of Dominica.

“I don’t care what you call me tomorrow, call me anything you feel like,” he stated to loud applause. “But if I had to express my preference, I would ask you to call me, simply, ‘Skerrit.’ That’s who I am and that’s who the people of Dominica love. They love their PM.They love Skerrit. And I love you all.”

He told supporters that they should not lose sleep over ‘the grumbling of others.”

“I have told them already, they need to grow up,” he stated. “They make the tearing down of Dominica their favorite past time. I shall continue to make the development of this country, my primary focus and my principle endeavor. So this evening, my Brothers and Sisters, I wish to say how touched and humbled I am, by your warm embrace.”

He said despite “nasty, nasty, salacious articles” that is written about him and Dominica, “this country is respected far and wide.”

“People admire our resilience. They admire our warmth. They speak highly of our embrace of culture and the warmth that we radiate to visitors. They like Dominica under the Dominica Labour Party,” Skerrit said. “This is a beautiful country, my Brothers and Sisters. Lovely Professional University in Punjab, India recognized all this and honored your leader. I am touched and humbled by the gesture. I shall use the occasion to recommit myself to the task. I shall celebrate this achievement by working harder, in the service of Dominica and it’s wonderful people.”

The Prime Minister continued, “I want you to do the same, Ladies and Gentlemen. Believe in this country. Uphold its laws. Respect its institutions. We have a wonderful island to build. We have the next generation to mold. Let us use the occasion of this international recognition, to recommit ourselves to the cause of nation-building.”

Other high-ranking members of the Dominica Labour Party also addressed the rally.

Supporters await the arrival of the Prime Minister on Tuesday

    Well I am happy to see this new develpoment, and hope that is is how the prime minister will be operating from now on, because this is the first time he has returned and spoken to the people about his travels! Most times it is a big secret, and not anyone’s business what he went out to do. Any attempt to inquire about his activities are swiftly rebuffed. Maybe he might even start to present regular updates to the house of assembly!

    Castle Bruce Constituency…alas. so Jono could find how many bus loads of people to go done canefield while elderlies in his constituency are living and dying in deplorable conditions?

    A man die alone in his home, the house deplorable, old, broken down without electricity, water and toilet. The smell of his place was very bad. You couldn’t even breathe well.

    On his house, is a big red flag and a Labour poster on the weak and dirty wall.

    So Castle Bruce doh have Yes we care?

    So Jono couldn’t give the man one of the petro casa house?

    So Jono you mean to tell me that you didn’t know about the man condition..a Las.

      This is really unfair to blame JONO for the man’s living condition. The man have all his relatives in England and America. He is even related to Issac Baptiste. Too many time we assume that the Palrep will take over our family resposibilities. He was a nice man and may his sould rest in peace but dont put that on JONO. Why didn’t his family see it fit to give him a better way of life eh. Keep politics out of that.

      “If you think that being recognized and honored by the number one university in the most populated country in the world, is not worthy of note, then stop letting it bother you.

      OK you have internet access. Google India university rankings you will find that the donor university is ranked 119 in India not the number 1 university that your leader stated. Also he said that India was the most populated country in the world, sorry pal that distinction belongs to the Chinese, maybe he forgot where he was as he is always running to China which is next door to India.

      Liberate your mind go check the facts just like he said in one of his visits to Asia a few months after Erika
      he had the gall to tell the people that we had completed construction of 450 houses. This man is a compulsive liar and you Labourites just suck up all that the man tells you as you have no brains to stop for a moment and see if these utterances make sensei

    Honestly honestly I shivered at watching this, this reminds me of some very ugly scenes from the past in other countries. I keep asking and will ask again “Are we positively sure that the Nature Isle of Dominica is not turning into one of these countries like the ones Hitler governed, Venezuela and the list can go on?

Let’s learn to save money and save Dominica. Did you really take a good look at Dominica, This little island need so much work to be done, My friend wants to visit Dominica but the way Dominica is right now am afraid of the report I will get from her.So please my friend stop wasting money and time traveling and not bringing back anytime to show that would help build Dominica back. Stop all this nonsense, I really don’t see the need for all this pappy show.

    Funny none of the fans knew of his departure to receive this award…then is was supposedly on Government Business turn personal achievement. All this show and grandeur doesn’t do anything for my everyday living…my standard of living is going down…my salary remains the same for years because they call it austerity measures, yet my social security payments have gone up yet again. And they say it’s towards retirement…what about healthcare, prescriptions and properly trained medical staff nurses who aren’t frustrated. We have trained nurses still waiting to be given a position….I can go on and on and you all waste time on such trash information…

Accept it or not guess what? It ain’t gonna change so get use to it. y’all want to be the only ones to talk. So many people that’s calling themsleves doctors in this day and age?

    It is quite remarkable how this guy could go on so many trips and come back empty handed each and every time and the same people who are frequenters of the infamous red clinic go to the retardedly named airport to welcome home their king. This ambassador of unemployment goes all over the world signing all kinds off documents vowing to bring us work but constantly disappoints us yet we go to the airport to welcome our proud king even though our stomachs has been on life support since Erika. I truly suspect that Dominicans are ready to die for Skeritt. They are voting for party, not development. It is quite alarming that the first thing that you notice when you land at this mediocre airport are the rusty galvanize and poorly operating toilets. Then these stupid officers in the terminal have the nerve to ask me what is the reason for my visit to Dominica even though I showed them my Dominican passport. Dominica has now been deemed sewage waste that needs to be flushed down the septic tank

    Let’s keep it real. Mr. Skerrit stated that he was honoured by the no. 1 university in India (the most populated country in the world as he calls it) However, the latest ranking puts the lovely Professional University not even in the top ten but in a lowly 48th. position. I would not want the P.M. to invite ridicule by playing loose with the facts.

  23. Air Dominica Crashing
    March 2, 2016

    Dominica on remote control. The plane crashing, the passengers are on board but do not know, and the captain is NEVBER on board. What a song!

    On August 26, 2015, Dominica was attacked by Erika and doctor Skerrit was no where to be seen. Later we got to know he was on his personal business. Yet, when Mr. Skerrit finally landed in Dominica, he got a HEROS welcome, just to distract the truth from coming out.

    Today, once again doctor Skerrit is out, doing his personal thing while his cabinet is on fire, and our young girls are the casualty of the plane crash. Again, as a form of cover up and distract the truth from coming out, his supporters who are all on board, throws a welcome party for their captain who seems to have abandoned his passengers on air Dominica, and jumped on another plane of safety.

    So even after u get honorary degree u still don’t know which is the most populated country in the world, guess u were only addressing fools. And u want to laugh at Linton when the joke is on u. Good thing they did not give u a test, guess u would fail too. For sure Linton is brighter than u by far. Quite a shame for the PM and Dominica. The name Lovely makes tears run from my eyes with laughter. Sorry but I just can’t take this crap seriously.

    I can only add the wee bits mr.SKERRIT left out. The two most handsome PM in the whole wide world is Skerrit and Dave Cameron yes. We all will agree, a picture can say a thousand words and you saw that as well. The supporters were so well dressed, Domlec saved because they did not put on lighting because let there be light and the light was there. when DBS speak every body hears. Memorable time. Supporters proved something, no one was hiding away from the camera, meaning they are all law abiding. Some has proved that if you have money they don’t like you, and if you are educated they dislike you even more. From today I am Labor and proud of it. If you have a heart and a soul you have to be labour.God bless Dominica.

    “I would ask you to call me simply Skerrit”. How very precise and apposite from the Dear Leader! An honorary doctorate is indeed a great honour and should be celebrated. But the word honorary itself is generally understood to mean “conferred as an honour only ” and is not a license for a recipient to call himself or herself “doctor”. Per proper etiquette it also tacky for recipients to use the title on their business cards

    Oops, sorry Mr Prime Minister but the most populated country in the world is China, not India! However, congratulations on your award. One day Dominica may well receive an award for having progressed, but sadly tropical storms, hurricanes and poor leadership hold Dominica back!

  32. First of all: Welcome home to you PM Skerrit ; it is good that your trip was safe to and from–we, your people are glad to have you back

    Secondly that photo with you and Dimitri, it is so breath taking I could not stop admiring it.

    What a loving image of a little boy running to his dad with arms wide open –I can imagine your desire to pick him up with a great hug, I wish they has shown that part as well.

    Who in the world can observe, and not feel the emotion of Love? What kind of persons are claiming that a man like you is every bad as in their minds–and not a man of Love; a husband, a father, and the loving Leader of my country, Dominica?–PM do not take notice of those persons.

    God has blessed you with many virtues–you are putting them on display for His glory; that is what He wants you to do, for you give Him delight by doing so; always keep that in your mind as you go on your duties of the day.

    You are right on point–we love you Sir!

      Shut up Elizabeth; charity begins at home; go and visit with your very sick son Keita, you should have more love for him than you have for that Mountain Chicken Crapo (Carpaud) Mentality) Roosevelt Skerrit, and Demitri!

      I will bet you anything Skerrit “pickney gat more money in ar some bank dan you ever work fa all you barn day pan earth eh.”

      You are a hypocrite, you are one of those people who would rather spend the rest of your life in jail in the name of Skerrit to prevent him from experiencing which he deserves in jail. If Skerrit was standing on the gallous with the hang man noose tied around his elephant neck, you would cry; set him free and hang me instead for I committed the crime he is about to hang for.

      When Satan is marching him down into pit of fire in you will tell the devil to take you instead; poor fool.

      Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaha!

      • Telemaque , once again, leave my personal things from your mentality of stinking rubbish or else you will regret the day you entered this world.

        Your obsession with PM Skerrit and me is the main part of that regret– you cannot decide who I choose to keep, neither can you remove Pm Skerrit from his role.

        You do not know a damn thing about me and my family; my son is my concern–not yours– detest your rude remark; this is none of your business and you are the one who is TERMINIALLY ILL

        I have caledl for complete demise by your demonic mentality; it will be done to you in Jesus name –you will suffer both physically and mentally; the mental suffering has already begun

        Now report to the police, of LA, that I Elizabeth Lina Xavier has threatened you; and they will laugh at you. You will have no one to turn to–Lennox cannot help you, neither will PM Skerrit–but I have the Mandate–His name is Jesus; there is no other force before Him. Mark my word!

    Facts, I see you all over the place going crazy over Skerrit return; I need to ask you what did he bring back to you, what has he brought you as a souvenir!

    I wonder how Skerrit feels to realize after he left Dominica he must have traveled to Barbados, or St. Lucia, perhaps Antigua, Grenada, Trinidad or Tobago, maybe St. Kitts, all of which has class International Airports to catch an International flight to India lasting I believe eighteen hours or more. Landing wherever he land out of Dominica besides Dominica he saw an International Airport.

    How does it feel to return to Dominica, and land at a place such as Cane-field or that gray and pink thing at Melville!

    If that boy has any pride in him I am sure must be feeling stupid and devastated over his stupid blunder when he took Ralph Gonzalez not to build an International Airport in the country.

    I wish he slipped and burst hid behind on that nasty bit of so called red Carpet. In any event pride-less people has no shame!

    March 2, 2016

    It took Dominicans a very long time to realize that the late Hon Rosie Douglas was the right man to run Dominica. When he finally became PM to take the country to a next level he was short lived. It will take Dominicans the same time again to realize that they should give Me Lenox a chance to govern and it might be to late to who knows. Dominicans loves to fill their axe grind out before they finally realized what they should have done.

    • @real deal March 2, 2016

      You might be surprised to know that this demon of DNO well known as Francisco Telemaque–who has also presented himself to me as one of those vermin in his BLACK LAGOON dwelling, did not accept the Politics of Rosie either.

      It is good to know what you believe about Rosie Douglas–I do not know about it–but this confirms my belief that the mind of that Telemaque vermin has been out from moons ago–he is much, much, worse now, through his obsession of PM Skerrit and Me –which I am hoping will put him in a straight jacket before his final demise, by that same obsession.

      For he has no authority against PM Skerrit’s role. His grievance are all about fiction and futility, which he cannot prove right or wrong; and I ain’t changing my mind for no one–especially not for a miserable and nasty Parasite–I won’t even think about it.

    Skerrit’s pomp and circumstance is bothersome. Those poor brain washed souls who adorn that stupid Red color, are the same ones who witness their family members suffer and pass on at that “Dump” for a hospital called PMHS. When Skerrit and his cohorts become ill, they fly away to the best hospitals in the region, while the mortals are left to wallow in their sorrow. Those same supporters should be out on the streets everyday until we have a proper hospital that provides quality health care for our entire populace when needed. I feel for Dominica at this moment in time.
    First you give them a pittance at the Red Clinic, then you use them for life without fail.

    Wow! What a rousing welcome back home! This was kept undercover. Some of us who reside abroad had no idea of this. If only we could, we would have loved to be present.
    The PM’s son was excited to see him. Obviously, he missed him. It is a wonderful sight seeing him running to his Dad.
    What a welcome also from his son. He was not shy at all to show his love and emotions to his Dad. This must have made the PM even more loved.

      You call it DISTRACTION but I call it his VIRTUE OF CHARISMA. All leaders of an organization needs that virtue to keep the support of their group lighted; more so for the Leaders of the Nations–you are speaking about things which you do not understand–I am sure that you cannot describe what the distraction is, nor can you tell the distraction from what and how he is doing that.

      Right here you spoke a truth, even if you meant for it to be negative–your negative vibe is positive to the conviction of my mind, and all of the rest like me. You have a thumbs down rating from me, anyway!

      When you make up your mind to dislike people, nothing they do could ever please you. This is the way it is with you non-supporters. Nothing better is expected of you. You will go on hating and being critical. This does not mean you are correct and ever will be. It will only make you more bitter. Know that this attitude is unhealthy and will have an effect on your heart and mind. One day, overall it will take its toll on you, if it has not yet affected you.

    I need to poke my fun too. If Mr. Linton is a nonentity, why go on a political platform in the middle of Roseau and mention his name over one thousand times in four hours in a political meeting. If Mr. Linton needs a CXC certificate why does Aaron write about him in a news paper every week none non stop for the last for three years. Don’t talk about old man Ducreay, Simeon, Macintime Douglas, the ninety two years old woman who resides in Kings Hill, Aaron and Tony. I have not heard one show on Kairi in the last three years, if Mr. Lennox Linton name is not mentioned. The Labor Party Supporters talk about Linton so much, that at times, they even forget to mention Skeritt’s name.

      Tell them to make the most of their God-given opportunity.
      Tell them everyone is responsible for themselves. God expects it and will hold them accountable if they fail to measure up. He does not expect them to be laissez-faire and that the government is to hand everything to them on a silver platter.

      What the PM stated is not wrong.
      You stated Lennox is a decent man. This is your views. It does not represent what some others think and as they see, hear and read about. They form their opinion based on this.
      There are all types of people who are different with different opinion. Some people settle for much; others for little – mediocrity; others for nothing at all.
      Some of us are not blind, deaf or sleeping. We have common sense and utilize it. We know the difference between right and wrong.
      Linton has said and done much to debase the PM. He was disappointed that he did not win the election. He has shown his disdain for the PM and it is continuing. In any case, Linton’s words and the Court cases against him, tell who he is.
      We must respect the view of others and accord them their due right and dignity also to voice their opinion. This does not mean everyone is correct. There is what is right to say and do and what is wrong.
