PM Skerrit hits the big four-o

PM Skerrit turns 40

In 2004 he had the distinction of becoming the world’s youngest leader.

Eight years ago at 32 Roosevelt Skerrit became Dominica’s new prime minister, after the death of former prime minister Pierre Charles.

For almost a decade now he has been the country’s leader and for many of his followers, can do no wrong.

His critics accuse him of alleged corruption, dictatorial practices, and being responsible for virtually all the ills of the country including violent crime.

But Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit appears to have an optimism that it’s difficult to defeat.

Today June 8 (2012) the man whose “dimples” is a rallying point for both critics and fans, celebrates the BIG FOUR O – he is forty.

It’s not clear how PM Skerrit is celebrating today – attempts to reach him failed.

However his Public Works Minister, Rayburn Blackmoore, told DNO that Roosevelt Skerrit was a “visionary and brilliant” leader who remains focused despite relentless attacks against him and the government that he leads.

Education Minister Peter St Jean also sees PM Skerrit as visionary, but adds that he is dynamic and a forward-thinking leader whom he hopes will be in charge for a long time.

Opposition Leader Hector John of the United Workers Party told DNO he wanted to wish the prime minister “all the best” on his birthday.

However John also called on Prime Minister Skerrit to reflect on his years as head of government and on his “style of leadership”.

The opposition leader said there was much that was wrong with a “Dominica at the crossroads”, and that PM Skerrit should reflect on what direction he wants to take Dominica to “right those wrongs”.

In terms of his personal life Roosevelt Skerrit remains to date a bachelor – but he is known to have a fiance, and it’s likely that wedding bells will be in the air sooner rather than later.

The Prime Minister also has a 12-year-old son – Malik, a secondary school student.

    Happy Birthday Mr. Prime Minister. First and Foremost give Your God the highest praise for bringing you thus far in life. Every human being must reflect on the day they enjoyed being forty- years-old, and you well always remember where you spend, and whom you were serving at the age of forty. That’s important, because the reflection that stays with you will be for ever whether it be good or evil. I think you were born to be a leader for Dominica with a gift from God, because you have accomplished many goals for the Dominica citizens than any of your previous predecessor. Regardless of how some view your success, I still believe your vision represent my goals and desire to build a better Dominica. God Bless You, and ask him more wisdom to further build a better Dominica for the future. If you another hand to
    further your goals, please contact me to be part of that success.

      Why don’t your mindless fools hide yourselves in your little dark corner… your vision of the world is through a pinhead… your mind functions like that… so perhaps you should hide until….erm perhaps you find a brain and you can get it to work. The strange thing is that, you could not do any better if you are asked. It’s all your negativity that is upsetting the natural order and balance in the universe. Put a lid on it!!!

      you should sell your pc first, before you eat dimples!

    i dont get why comments are getting the ‘thumbs down’ for just saying happy birthday to the Dominican Prime Minister. come on people regardless if you like it or not today is his birthday just like the rest of us who each have a birthday. This negativity is mostly what’s destroying our beloved Dominica!!! No matter what other leader comes in power, there is still going to be some negative criticism.

    Happy Birthday Mr. Roosevelt Skerritt, may you live to see many more. Keep your head high and continue doing what is right for Dominica.

  28. June 8, 2012

    What does the PM birthday have to do with being a visionary? Why everything in Dominica has to have a political twist to it? Its the Prime Minister’s birthday; simply wish the man a happy birthday, may he enjoy many more to come. why all that politics?

    As the professional and respectable citizen that I am, it is indeed fitting to express a very Happy Birthday to the Honourable Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Dominica. I sincerely wish him the very best in life.

    As most readers to this website may have noted, I do not necessarily agree with the policies and conduct of the Prime Minister. However, politics aside, as someone who is just about the same age as the PM, I sincerely wish him the very best. To assist me in extending best wishes, however, please permit me to reproduce some notable quotes with some modifications:

    “Life begins at 40 – but so do fallen arches, rheumatism, faulty eyesight, and the tendency to tell a story to the same person, three or four times”-whether is it true or not”.

    “At the age of 20, we don’t care what the world thinks of us; at 30, we worry about what it is thinking of us; at 40, we discover that it wasn’t thinking of us at all.” It would appear that based on this quote, Mr. Skerrit is still in his 30’s and in fact he looks great for 40.

    “Age is opportunity no less than youth itself.” Therefore, even at 67 one could be youthful and still be Prime Minister.

    “This wine is forty years old. It certainly doesn’t show its age”. In fact, the wine gets better with age “Every man over forty is a scoundrel,” perhaps Mr. Skerrit would agree that he knew that even before he turned forty.

    More importantly, “Age is a matter of feeling, not of years” and “Age is strictly a case of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter. In Mr. Skerrit’s case, I dear say that age (in some case not enough of it) is a high price that we pay personally and in this case the country for immaturity. So-be wise with speed; a fool at forty years is a fool indeed.

    Happy Birthday Sir!!
    Respectfully,

      I do not necessarily agree with the policies and conduct of the Prime Minister….Are there any policies you agree with?

      Or do you oppose just because you are in the opposition party?

  45. Dvt
    June 8, 2012

    DNO as responsible media you need to check facts. PM Skerrit was 31 when he became Prime Minister. Remember he became Prime Miister in January. Further the man is the leader of a political party not a cult and thus has supporters not “followers”. I am sure you would not refer to supporters of Barack Obama or the UWP as followers. It is a negative connotation and this report does not warrant it.

      Some months ago I heard, all the way in Toronto that he is engaged. I was told the name of his fiancee but will not divulge her name. I found it strange that it was not publicized and DNO did not public it. I expect that the PM is keeping his private life a secret. It is his prerogative to do so.

      • Correction
        June 13, 2012

        The PM has stated several times that he is not engaged. Someone started a story and it burnt like wild fire because ofcourse its “hot gossip”. If and when he gets engaged there will be a press release issued by the State as is customary. Not radio cord kapi. Untill then everything you hear is just “beff”.

      You can eliminate the word ‘Love’ in your On-line name. Your words give you away. You do not have what it takes to be a loving person. Are you insinuating that you are a perfect person and another government would do better than he is doing? I bet not!

    I am not for any politician neither have I ever voted for either the prime minister or the opposition, but I must say Dominicans have a lot of hatred habored in their hearts boy. WOW! You people hate your leaders with a passion so much that you can’t even hear someone wish them a happy birthday? and you wonder why God can’t bless the land? papabat!

    You think it is because of one man? He was willing to spare Sodom and Gomorrah if he found 10 righteous – he will do the same for Dominica. REPENT DOMINICANS –

        Did you mean ‘Compassion’?
        Is this not always the case when people are alive they have nothing good to say about them but when they die it is the reverse?

      If that is not sucking or brown-nosing then I dont know what is! We all wish the PM a very Happy Birthday and hope he live to see many more because regardless of our political affiliations he is still our PM…at least for now. But saying he can do no wrong is seriously assinine and stretching the truth.

    Happy Birthday Hon Roosevel Skerrit. Your detractors want to use all your good points against you including your age. But the good book said “A liite child will lead them” and this is what happened in Dominica’s case. We are so blessed. Those who want to spend theirlife forming the fool instead of buidling their communities, that is up to them. We dont expect you to be perfect, but compared to others you are great, and with added experience will get even greater because your heart is in the right place – in the people you took an oath to serve. Keep holding your head high because we are strongly behind you. We admire your leadership, if they want to say that it is your dimples we admire, then allow them that comfort. When bigger countries are falling over themselves in the quagmire, you are here quietly and solidly leading us forward. There are hard times everywhere these days and that is not your fault. Without your forward thinking and your love for all people I shiver to think where we would be in Dominica today. Viva, Mr. Prime Minister! Happy 40! From me and more!

      Thats how you refer to a man you call your leader? A little child? That speaks volumes of your kind and level of intelligence or lack thereof. Remember is you that call him so.

      Thats how you refer to someone you call your leader, “A little child?” It shows your level of intellect or lack thereof. Is that the only thing the good book said? I’m sure the good book did not state this in the literal sense

      I have to agree with Blackmore .Skerro as he is amicably called displays the visions of Political leaders like LEBLANC ,JOHN of DOMINICA and Eric WILLIAMS OF TRINIDAD and FORBS BURNAM of GUYANA .
      They all display a burning desire to see their people enjoy a better life ,and their country a better place
      They all had political enemies who do not mind distroying the country to distroy them.THEIR CRITICS were all empty barrels with no actions
