A ‘celebration rally’ has been planned at the Canefield Airport in honor of Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, who will be returning to Dominica on Tuesday afternoon.

He recently received an Honorary Doctorate from the Lovely Professional University in Punjab, India.

The Prime Minister will be arriving at 3:30 pm to fanfare by the Swinging Stars, according to the program of activities.

He will be received by Justina Charles, Minister for Youth, Sports, Culture and Constituency Empowerment and MP for Grand Bay, and his wife Melissa Skerrit.

He will then meet political colleagues and relatives and will have a private moment with immediate family in the VIP lounge.

Welcome remarks will then be made by Petter Saint Jean, Minister for Education and Human Resource Development and President of the Dominica Labour Party.

A prayer will be offered by Edward Lambert.

Charles and Saint Jean will be giving solidarity messages at the function.

The Prime Minister is also expected to give remarks at the function.

Entertainment will be provided by Hunter, Daddy Chess and Midnight Groovers.

    The India thinks he deserve a doctorate; Many of you blue blokes thinks he doesn’t. Well hold your comment for yourself since u bringing down 1 of your own whilst they see potential in the Gentleman. Go to sleep with your hatred every night & what if you do not get up. Time to love one another and lift up one another. Time 2 stop hating yourselves because if don’t love you, you cannot love others. Also first love God. Then when you love the Creator, you will appreciate what he did for us, then his commandment to love one another will be easy. Then u will not hate the PM or anyone you fabricate in your mind as wearing a red all over garment inside outside. Remember I said it is the fabrication of your mind since anyone who does not condone your spirit of hate is also your public Enemy #2 since you have declared the PM as the #1. I say all this 2 say u that u must respect God first and then those in authority whether u support them or not (you have the right 2 support who u want).

    Skeritt is awarded a Honorary Doctorate, that is a token without requirements, like the Mighty Sparrow, Hermit the Frog, Alwin Bully, Dwight Venner, Bill Cosby has numerous. The man he is treated as though the Indians gave him $1 billion. When Dominicans get up from their beds tomorrow, I hope they will hear how successful was his trip. Doctorate or no Doctorate, Dominica still needs $1 billion and I believe that is all that should be of concern to Dominicans right now.

    So what would Skerrit have done if he had EARNED that doctorate: make March 1 a national holiday?

    That man is getting to be a real pappy-show. The sad thing is, he will also make us look like pappy-shows to our fellow Caribbean people.

    It is almost looks like the man does not know what to do with himself.

    Just to be clear. I wrote ‘Sheer madness.’

    As usual everybody shouting from behind walls of pen-names. No one wants own up to their opinions. Until we change that and truly stand up, the prime minister will grow more and more outrageous and laugh at you, all the way to the bank.

    Dominicans at home and abroad, you are on notice:

    We are witnessing a rapid escalation of in-your-face, dangerous warning signs. Talk about wrong & strong! This thing is not going end well.

    In Macau during Erika and the country has celebrate your return?

    Sousay del insults to any one not bowing to the idol?

    Caught red-handed selling our passports to persons wanted internationally for high crimes and misdemeanours?

    Branding as traitors and inciting attacks on any who question you?

    Wait, wait wait…Somebody wake me from this nightmare. This cannot be real!

    Anyone who still can think for themselves, or who has even a single shred of dignity and national pride left, take a deep breath. Do we really have a choice?

    Dominicans have to stop this madness – by any means necessary!

    Roosevelt, boy you is a big, big joke. So you get an honorary doctorate from some relatively obscure university in a far away land – mark you a degree which you merely got as a gift and not due to some fantastic educational feat you accomplished – and your minions and sycophants planning celebrations for you eh.

    Celebrations for what Roosevelt? Roosevelt, whose money is being used for this worthless celebration? Is it the money of the state? If so, does this constitute an abuse of the state treasuries in a very depressed economy? And all de time, I checking Tropical storm Erika had set de country back….

    Folks, it is becoming much clearer that the reign of Roosevelt Skerrit and his sycophants and minions is coming to an end – a screeching end.

    Most PM’s have EARNED their PhD well before they take office. Skerrit really has no shame!

    I know the other PM’s in the region are wondering WHY they can’t have such an idiotic populace. WHY do they have to work hard and deliver for their people when fools like Skerrit get to drag their people further into poverty and get celebrated for it!

I am not hating but put things in priority, u want to celebrate ur husband success do it from ur personal money and what are u really celebrating??? What really is that doctorate??? Melissa and the committee members for that ridiculous welcome home ceremony do u all understand what that doctorate is??? What about the sick boy that needs medical help? U want something to publiside publish how many ppl u all personally helped. Stop using Dominica money for papishow pls??? U will answer to God. U will answer

    March 1, 2016

    Here is the definition of an honorary degree, please tell me why we are celebrating an award or gift the prime minister received. He didnt earn it but we are not only spending tax payers money in having the celebration but costing the country money by having the airport shut down while we are having this celebration. An honorary degree is an academic degree for which a university has waived the usual requirements, such as matriculation, residence, study and the passing of examinations. The degree is typically a doctorate and may be awarded to someone who has no prior connection with the academic institution. The degree is not recognized by employers as having the same stature as a corresponding earned doctorate degree and should not be represented as such.

    And yet the jackassness continues by the labor party. I hope this is labor party monies that spending on this on not tax payers monies. This government tired use the tax monies for labor party propaganda, this have to stop. Why was it when Sir Brian Alleynne received his honorary doctorate from UWI, a university which is much better recognized than this backyard university in India there was no celebration. Is that the best use of our tax monies? why not use the monies to pay down the student fees which have been outstanding for years at UWI and other schools.

    Skeritt you continue to disappoint, The entire country is sinking and sinking further whilst allyou waste our resources. MY ADVICE TO SKERITT GO GET YOURSELF A REAL DEGREE AND STOP EMBARRASSING DOMINICA AND DOMINICANS

Listen to my Labour Disciples how they refer to me as the great Supreme Leader, Doctor “s”! Listen to their screams, look at the lavish reception they’ve put together for me costing thousands of YOUR tax dollars. Did you see my graduation gown in India? Didn’t I look distinguished, accomplished and highly educated? I am rich PLUS I am now a Doctor, I mean a REAL Doctor….I am so happy I could even hug Linton! According to my Minister of Education from henceforth I must be referred to as DOCTOR and, as a matter of fact I will be tabling a new law in Parliament to that effect as soon as I return from Dubai. This is the greatest day for Dominica and I believe it should be made a National Holiday! I must be remembered in Dominica like Dr, Martin Luther King in the U.S.. I am the greatest Dominican ever!!!!

    “He recently received an Honorary Doctorate from the Lovely Professional University in Punjab, India.”

    Oh well, only in Dominica, frighten and backward gullible illiterate people place value on nothing! The civilized world must me laughing at us Dominicans because of our stupidity. Here is a none academic individual receiving a useless piece of paper without any academic by a none-accredited institution, according to the educational system in India.

    What do they have to celebrate. In that case there should be a celebration for every Dominican returning to Dominica with a medical degree, or a Ph.D. in anything, So Vince Henderson should also be celebrated when he returns. Unfortunately when we should be celebrating…

    • Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
      March 1, 2016

      Unfortunately when we should be celebrating people like Sam Christian, a well trained medical doctor; Skerrit and government did not allowed him to remove a bullet lodged in a human in the hospital.

      I suspect they preferred the patient to die, as they victimized Sam that was more important!

      Does that make sense? While Skerrit and the rest in his cabal, Darroux so called minister of Health ignores and victimized Christian, they are prepared to celebrate something of no actual value, except the recipient who bought and paid to be called Dr. by his supporters is a politician.

      If I say to someone, good morning Sir. That is a grater honor, with more value than that honorary degree Skerrit bought in India; form a none accredited university with a student population of twenty-five thousand students. Note; there are hundreds of millions of people in India, how come the student population of that university is so few?

In the meantime- villages are still without water. No jobs for the young people. Roseau stinks and looks like a ghetto. Crime and violence is on the rise. Agriculture is dead.

  61. Associate Degree Earner
    March 1, 2016

    An honorary degree[1] or a degree honoris causa (Latin: “for the sake of the honor”) is an academic degree for which a university (or other degree-awarding institution) has waived the usual requirements, such as matriculation, residence, study and the passing of examinations. The degree is typically a doctorate or, less commonly, a master’s degree, and may be awarded to someone who has no prior connection with the academic institution.[2] An example of identifying receipt of this award is as follows: Doctorate in Business Administration (Hon. Causa).

    The degree is often conferred as a way of honouring a distinguished visitor’s contributions to a specific field or to society in general.[3] It is often given to graduation speakers at a university or college, and the university may derive benefits by association with the person in question. The degree is not recognized by employers as having the same stature as a corresponding earned doctorate degree and should not be represented…

    • Associate Degree Earner
      March 1, 2016

      Continuation of the Meaning :
      as such. It is sometimes recommended that such degrees be listed in one’s CV as an award, and not in the education section.[4] With regard to the use of this honorific, the policies of institutions of higher education generally ask that recipients “refrain from adopting the misleading title”[5] and that a recipient of an honorary doctorate’s use of the title “Dr” before their name should be restricted to engagement with the institution of higher education in question and not within the broader community.[6]

      This is so true, but Ross is a very humble guy and never boast of his accomplishments even when he has truly earned it…. he would never accept such a fiasco even if they are from the same village…

      Who preventing you from celebrating for the labour division?

  67. March 1, 2016

    You know I was reading this at first with amusement, and then with increased admiration. Here in the United States things have become so political, parties refuse to come together, and prayer in the public has been thrown out so the “State” does not appear to sponsor any religion, eventhough our nation was founded on biblical principals and judeo Christian influence.

    Just know from the outside looking in, and though Dominicans may not all support your PM Skerritt, what you are doing in the name of unity is admirable. We have a lot to learn up here, your neighbor to the north.

      Intolerant nonsense…Dominicans please wake up to this state corrupt promoting one man. In Zimbabwe similar is being done for Mugabe 92nd birthday, Millions spend on a lavish party while the people continue ro live in poverty, just like here in Dominica,
      Anyone who supports, promotes this comic show are really blind and stupid loyalty.

    It is only right and just to celebrate the return of Dominica’s Divine Emperor, the wonderful and highly blessed Supreme Leader, ordained and knighted among the Saints of the Most Holy Roman Catholic Church, sanctified above the laws of men, most respected and beloved Leader of the Blessed Dominica Labour Party, a man without sin, the Right and Honourable Prime Minister and newly crowned Doctor Roosevelt Medard Skerrit! Here is a man who is considered to be the BEST Prime Minister Dominica has ever had. A man whose foreign policy has made him a personal friend of Kings, Queens, Presidents, Emperors, Millionaires and Billionaires all around the world! Let us celebrate the most honest and hard working Prime Minister in the world. His travels have borne fruits once again and all Dominicans will benefit from the great DOCTOR!!!

    If you ever needed proof that this country is not ‘ticking’ right, here it is! Apart from that my question is: who is paying for all this pomp? Bearing in mind that he arrives in Canefield, no doubt he arrives by charter plane or helicopter. Why on earth do we keep turning a blind eye? The country after Erika is still in a mess but the Doktor keeps wasting our few cents.

  74. March 1, 2016

    The majority of the people are not interested of Mr.Skerit celebration rally,The people are interested to know what are the agenda to develop the country and make their lifes better,This celebration is just for one particular man and same time the people haven’t seen development in this country also no betterment in their lifes.

    • Question
      March 1, 2016

      I don’t get your point J. St.Jean. This is a political party affair. DLP members and supporters decide to celebrate their political leader’s achievements(it does not matter what you as a non -DLP supporter feels about the PM’s achievement; that’s their choice. The same goes for UWP supporters who do not mind paying the courts fees for Lenox Linton’s because they feel he is fighting a Just Cause. Labourites have justification in criticizing the UWP supporters. Again it is a party thing.

      If you are UWP, FREEDOM, Neutral or Don’t Care At All. You don’t have to go. I listened to to DBS News it indicated a Labour Party ‘Celebration Rally.” I guess DNO understood that to mean and all political parties, No political party affiliations , neutral, ‘ Don’t Care A D,’ Celebration Rally.” News reporters have to ensure that they relay the correct information instead of inciting sensationalism.

    Why the celebration? Can’t he just accept this honorary degree and come back home. All these depleted roads especially in the east, and he is allocating all these funds to celebrate something he did not labor for.

    “A ‘celebration rally’ has been planned at the Canefield Airport in honor of Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, who will be returning to Dominica on Tuesday afternoon”.

    He recently received an Honorary Doctorate from the Lovely Professional University in Punjab, India.

    “A prayer will be offered by Edward Lambert”.
