An incident during which Jamaican artiste, Tommy Lee Sparta, was denied entry into Dominica has been reported to the United Nations, according to Jamaican newspaper, The Star.
The newspaper quoted director of Guzu Musiq, the artiste’s label, Keona Williams as taking the matter to the world body.
“We reported this to the United Nations headquarters that the CARICOM nationals were arrested, denied food and water, medication and rights to legal representation,” she told The Star. “This changed when the artiste developed serious medical conditions from the ghetto concrete floor accommodation provided. He was consequently moved to the Marigot Hospital emergency room because a metal from his broken leg developed blood clots, cramps and muscle spams.”
She went on to say reports which indicated Tommy Lee refused to return to his jet after beind denied entry are not true.
“He did not refuse to leave that night. He arrived in Dominica on a private jet. Based on the time, he was unable to get clearance for landing if the pilot returned,” she said.
Williams also said that a stamp of denial or written document of no entry was requested by the artiste, but it was refused.
Meanwhile main organizer of the show during which Tommy Lee was to perform, Cabral Douglas, said evidence is being gathered to take the matter to the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) for damages.
He also called for the immediate resignation of prime minister, Roosevelt Skerrit and minister of tourism, Ian Douglas.
“We are talking about treaty obligations with the Caribbean Community, and Human Right conventions which have universal jurisdiction,” stated on Thursday. “It therefore compromises Dominica’s integrity and standing on the world stage, and certainly within the Caribbean Community, which is why it is appropriate at this time to call for the immediate resignation of Minister of National Security, Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit.”
He also said the matter pertains to Ian Douglas, MP for for Portsmouth and minister of tourism, who he said “is directly involved in taking food from the table of his own constituents, including graduates of the National Employment Program, performing artistes, contractors, security officers, vendors, bar tenders, DJs, bus drivers, hotels, chefs ect…”
“This actions have also puts future performances by foreign artists in Dominica at risk,” Douglas stated.
Cabral noted that as minister of tourism, Ian “has undermined the integrity of our tourism product.”
“Overseas visitors have come to me for refunds and as Minister of Legal Affairs he has exposed the taxpayers to massive lawsuits resulting from these actions which in my humble opinion make him unfit for office,” he noted. “I request that all who suffered losses and the broader community who condemn these actions made on their behalf, join me in demanding his immediate resignation from public office….”
Tommy Lee was denied entry into Dominica last Sunday. He was set to perform at a concert in Portsmouth that same night.
He was subsequently detained and deported on Monday.
The government said he was denied entry into Dominica because of concerns for public safety.
When Tommy Lee lodges a complaint with the help of his attorney to the UN and expect their approval and compensation, firstly the UN should immediately investigate his lifestyle, his songs and goings on in Jamaica as also the lottery scam he is involved with for which he was arrested and probably is still under investigation.
Secondly, the UN should also read all the comments, especially pros of Dominicans and their reasons for not wanting him to perform in Dominica.
Thirdly, his arrival in Dominica, being asked to return which he refused and then his arrest, detention and deportation.
No matter who and what the UN is, in all fairness, the entire case must be reviewed and analyzed. Then a decision will be made who was at fault in this case and if this man should be compensated and by whom. This is, if the UN accepts it as a valid case.
Take note:
1. His lyrics are unacceptable for performance before a teenage and adult audience.
2. They spew demonic words, of destruction and contribute to lack of peace and unity in the country. They are not educating and serve no useful purpose. Some parents would not want their teenage children to attend.
3. For also this reason Christians found his presence and performance as also unacceptable.
4. He was aware of the feelings of the majority of Dominicans.
5. It appeared that his promoters had no wish to cancel the concert due to the exorbitant sum of money they would have received for his performance, that if they had canceled it, Tommy Lee would have sued them for breach of contract.
7. They had obviously sold tickets and would have had to reimburse those who had previously purchased tickets at a loss to them.
8. They ignored the majority of D/cans concerns and objections to this man performing.
9. They agreed for him to fly to Dominica that Sunday to perform.
10. Tommy Lee landed on Dominica’s soil at the airport and got out of the jet. In the interest of Dominica and nationals’ security, the authorities told him to return to the plane. He refused.
11. He was arrested and brought to the Marigot Police Station, booked and detained. He was deported the following day. These authorities will obviously prepare a report on this matter.
It was not known what type of songs he would sing and how he would be dressed for this occasion. I noted on a Jamaican Website the manner in which his face was painted in a devilish manner. It was nothing attractive to look at. From my point of view, it was rather upsetting that I would not stare at it for even a full second.
Considering (also) that the majority objected to his performance, I foresee if this man was allowed to land and to perform, grave problems would ensue.
The D/can authorities were within their rights for national security reasons to prevent him from landing and performing. May the truth prevail.
Let me start off by stating that I had very little knowledge of Tommy Lee prior to this incident…so I decided to conduct some research about this individual….and respond to some of the pointers which was highlighted by Simply the Truth.
My first thought after reading this ridiculous response is, “Devil Recognizes Devil!”
First off, who are you to decide what lyrics are considered acceptable or unacceptable for adults?
Secondly, I will not deny that much of Tommy’s lyrics include language that would not be considered appropriate for a teenage audience but limits could have been set on the age of individuals who could attend this show…
You mentioned the lack of educational importance of such lyrics…if I didn’t know better! I could mention our own WCK, Serenade, Triple K etc whose music include a lot of sexual content…what is the educational value of this type of lyrics…what are they saying to our children? You failed to mention Tommy Lee’s lyrics about life’s struggles as a child growing up in the ghetto and his use of ancient civilization–the Greeks–to be more specific–SPARTA, who were known as great warriors to describe his way of life…Is that not educational?
Know your history before criticizing! Be open-minded! Music is a form of art which is expressed differently by each artist. As adults we have a right to choose what music we want to listen to. Our government should not be making such decision for us. The dominica labor party seem to be Dictators! Next, they will tell us what to wear and what to eat. It is so obvious that we are not free as a people. I could go on and on about this response but I will end with, the devil knows what the devil looks(painted face) smells, and sounds like…you must be the devil himself!
This government is in authority they have a right by law to say who they want and who they don’t want in this country if you go at somebody’s home and they tell you they don’t want you here that’s their home they have a right all you have to do is leave
The Government had the right to depot him. Dominica has to show other countries that they has the right to refused entry to anyone. No matter what nationality you might be espeially the Jamaicans.
Well to the religious fanatics you need to stand for what is right and don’t be partial in ur judgment,if guys could say god answer you all prayers for having Tommy lee get implications and not perform,you guys should do the same when a cruise ship with 5000 gays came to Dominica its sad to see not a word was said,there’s alot I can speak about but I need to move on.tommy lee and popcann is in the same crew back in Jamaica and because the owner of crazy coconuts is close to the government popcann came and have his show at crazy coconuts without no implications,why stop Tommy lee??because Cabral Douglas don’t support the government??that’s a shame….mr skerrit I just want to tell u that was a wrong move cause the election campaigns are just heating and u do something like that,,I have conducted an assessment and not much young people are pleased with ur decision and as a result most of them won’t vote you I kno I am not voting you for sure….team Dominica all the way…hope Tommy lee gets justice…
why couldnt u all ban him be for he came to de country….?
Am sure the promoter knew of the possible friction around this. And its also a shame on him to try and make profits while further sinking our young people. I believe that every thing that can potentially derail the development of our young people and the future of our country should be restricted.
by law they can’t ban him… Tt was said that he was deported on monday that was also a lie…
What is wrong with some poeple.
Government should have said this, government have done that.
B…. S…
It is the Promoter that is responsible to ensure that artist and venue is compliant.
Not the other way round.
The majority always win. They are the winners in every respect. The majority of people decide on the amount of votes for a government to be elected; likewise, the majority of the people in a country have the right to decide who qualifies and is entitled to enter their country or not.
When the majority complains about an artiste’s prospective performance in their country, you listen to them otherwise trouble will ensue.
The government authorities are not be blamed. It is the government’s obligation to protect its people, its nationals from immoral performances and evil artistes. If governments fail to do so, woe to them.
The promoters knew the sentiments of the majority of D/cans and disregarded them. They should have consulted their attorney Benhanzin then. Did they? They had ample time to call off his appearance. Defiant as they were, they still encouraged Tommy Lee to fly to D/ca. They are to be blamed and should pay him for breach of contract.
more and more the leaders of this country does things to bring them down, nothing last forever
Well, Dominicans, we will survive this, as well as all the other scandals that will pop up right before the elections.
There are also daily scandals of private citizens in their personal life, not living up to God’s Ten Commandments. Do not overlook them. God has not yet brought down the country for this.
This is what happens when u glorify and idolizes the devil…..whoever create their own demonic monsters must live with it!!!!!
your meaning for what you are trying to say…
Full time somebody put a stance against these nonsensical so call icons who are partially responsible for the continuous breakdown in morals and ethics in Jamaica and our wider society at large. Where Jamaica’s government has failed to implement or enforced, another country will enforce. Unfortunately these enforcements comes in the form of imprisonment, deportation, execution etc. The world is getting smaller and if we want to remain relevant, then we cannot continue on the slope we are on. Its a very slippery slope…….Slackness has to be contained.
God bless those who stood up against this type of performance. While God knows we are not perfect people and some of us are striving for godly perfection, He is pleased with everyone concerned who inhibited his performance. We hope from now on Tommy Lee will clean up his act.
o Lady Gaga was banned form a concert in Indonesia because the religious community there felt she is promoting a materialistic immoral lifestyle. Nothing to do with Americans. and that deportation has nothing to do with jamaicans but about the immoral and decadent lyrics of the artist effect on youth. Many Jamaican singers have performed in Dominica without any problems. Remembered Jimmy Cliff in da early 70’s.
• A nuh like dem wrong still….Di ppl dem c wa dey mashup ja.. n not all Di blame but most of it is thru the music…. Evil enters ur spirit thru what u hear, what u c, say n Di company yuh keep…. Clean up Di music industry…. R sen back all demons a hell….
DNO, What is wrong with my comment?
“Tommy Lee is just laughing at us in DA while these Douglas guys are going all out to embarrass the country. I hope Tommy Lee pays them after losing that case. If any one really thinks that the UN is going to list Dominica as a country who violates human rights because of this one incident will have to think again. I’m actually beginning to feel sorry for Behanzin…”
What Tommy Lee is suing for is how the situation was handled.
Everyone should get document or stamp if no entry and if not they should be able to see their lawyer.
End of story, the authorities were wrong and thats why they will have to pay.
Thank you very much for once a person who knows what they are talking about…
Yes I ppl in dDominica will learn bout human rights after this…United nations involved well look problem…Skerrit and them made decisions without thinking and that’s all this party is about, see what the boycot did and the loss of business for local business etc …. U gone learn today!
DUDE best you shut up U UWP RITE go HOME and do not troble dominicans; he was asked to leave the country IMEDEATLY and he didn`t so NEXT TIME OBEY THIS IS THE LESSON HERE
I~m delirious out of my mind
Shut up idiot.
like the UN going to do anything on the behalf of what?
@ yes I are u kidding me look at all what happen to Africans where was the UN look what happing Korea look in Syria where is the UN that UN is just a big joke all the big countries do what ever they want why u think the last head at the UN retired, to me Tyani turned out to be a big joke to me cause what I would like to ask him is if he was still sitting on the bench and this case came to him what would have said? U sent a lot of young men to jail for more that what law called for now u out here singing another tune when u have eat I guess is on witch fence sit when u hungry.
When you go at someboby’s home and they tell you that you are not welcome here that’s their home we’ll Skerrit is in authority and they have the right as a governor to say who they want and who they don’t want in this country
Money in this case, the root of all evil.
Couple things here. Dominica is a sovereign country, well within its rights to refuse entry to requestors at its sole discretion. Courts cannot impinge this soverighn rights. When we talk of massive lawsuits, the court is only concerned with material damages in a claim so this claim is unlikely to result in a large payout. The claim would be for re-imbursement of hospital costs which is material. Loss of future earnings and reputation are a bit more difficult to calculate as dancehall artists are not known for squeaky clean images to begin with. I see this ending in “maybe” an apology and some re-imbursement for medical/concert costs incurred in good faith. The rest is politics that will serve as good entertainment but not much else.
The promoters who continued to encourage him should pay for his costs.
Is this a plan to Demonize Dominica. What if he had gotten to perform? Good riddance by any means necessary and while you writing try writing some clean lyrics.
wow cabral douglas,it’s amazing with all whom you mentioned that is at lost,you failed to mention yourself who is biggest profiter should that show had been allowed go on,why is that,is it because you hurting so much that you do not want people to judge you by that,that is why you are not mentioning yourself,imagine you want the primeminister and tourism ministers head over a vulgar artist,no one argued over peter tosh when he was denied entry,a man of roots and culture,man take your lost and bring decent people to our island,in fact they need to run you out of dominica you and your personal familly agenda.
Keep in mind I endorse you for that.
Whether near or far, let us stand up for what is right for Dominica and for the general population of nationals.
The country can refuse entry to anyone, that means everybody, tosh n toshon alike! period the end. If you did not enter the country legally nor a citizen… you have no rights, according to Phil Collins ‘you have no rights to ask me how I feel’ therefore you cannot sue. Third FU! UDOHREADYET!
I know @possie direct got some wild punches sent at him /her for rebuking the church but as a believer I agree with most of the things he/she said. Unlike that blogger, I cannot say Skerrit used the church to stop Tommy Lee from performing in Dominica but at the same time I am not too sure the church would have reacted the way they did if the Prime Minister and the DLP were the ones that organized to bring down the artist. Mr. Skerrit for some unknown reason is loved by most of our church leaders especially those that use to have a very strong spiritual voice in Dominica and to them, he sure can do nothing wrong. The question is, did he buy them so they would not rebuke him when he transgresses? It appears so to me. Take for example one pastor from the north that use to have a powerful TV program. He is on record along with another evangelist saying that Mr. Skerrit is a born again believer. But are they serious? How many men and women with the PM’s lifestyle would get that pathway to heaven? Quite clearly it appears to me that if an ordinary person was living a similar lifestyle they would be demonized by the church.
Ihope you that believer gets a pathway to heaven because remember it’s not those that say “Lord ,Lord that does make it to heaven.”
The spiritually-minded and enlightened know the difference of right from wrong as granted to them by God. If it is for the good of all, morally and spiritually it comes from God.
You are judging and generalizing. Do you know if you will get to Heaven? Where you presently stand before God, only God knows.
To people saying that the CCJ has nothing to do with Dominica, you clearly do not read the news. Dominica recently left the Privy Council in England and elected the change to use the CCJ as the highest court of appeal for matters relating to Dominica.
So yes, this is what happens when cases are called against CARICOM nationals in dominica.
Also the entire way that this situation was handled was bad. If the organisers were just told beforehand that Mr. Tommy Lee Sparta was not going to be given entry into the country then that would have been end of story.
All this has ended up doing is taking away jobs from our young people, stopping the flow of money and causing party promoters to realize that it makes no sense to continue to operate in Dominica like this when there is no guarantee that your event will go on. This event was one of the longest and best marketing campaigns that I have seen from an individual Dominican in a long time and it is sad that the event never got a chance to go off.
How has this helped Dominica in any way? All I see is negativity on all sides. Please can we try to uplift ourselves.
i trulyu believe that some DA ppl are ver badmind , so they prevented hiom from doing the show and when is world creole music festival they don’;t approve of many local artist and send for ja artist and they expect after this to get a jamaican to come for fest . hehehe hahha shame on them . ebe look bowdell

Jail Is not a luxury,Is the jail different in Jamaica.
Jails in Jamaica are no different.Lots of people in one caged cell like sardines in deplorable conditions. And, here he comes trying to be superstar , wanting high class treatment. He ain’t above anyone else. Money he wants and he has some Dominican fools fighting for him. When he files lawsuit (he is not going to win anyway),don’t DOMINICANS know they are all going to pay for it? Sakwey sot ki zor ye.
I know personally that the holding cells in New York are in very deplorable conditions. I wonder if Dominica cells could be any worse.
Forget this fool
This too shall pass.
Anonymous, your name ring a bell in my ear, are you a Dominica it isn’t a problem. Where both of us are from, we don’t think that way. I love your Idea, it is god who stop that man from being on that stage. God do have a reason.Some Dominicans remember you all who have your country down no one to be blame. this prime minister opening doors for this country i read on line, this is so good more jobs a beteer life. just give god thanks. Dominica will be on internation tv soon for homes buyers. I see Dominica at the top. Dominica is a beautiful Island.
“So Dem Ar Not Rrspecting Jamaicans?”what did Tommy Lee Sparta meant by that?…Tommy Lee,Dominicans respect every respectful individual but not demons..So You Not Respecting DOMINICANS,Mann?
the dominica authorities behave very idiotic in that whole tommy lee matter and they are going to pay for there idiotic behavior if they knew they didn’t want the artist to perform on island the relevant authority should inform the promoters of the suiteration so the guy wouldn’t even had to land on island
Let him waste his money on Lawyers.
He was denied entry and that is it.
No UN/Caricom treaty gives absolute right of entry to a country.
I expect a lot of uneducated people to respond to this in the manner which they have. It is typical Dominican style to just come out and spew hate about something they know nothing about. So sad. The court of law goes by law not the word on the streets. So all those lawyers on this panel can continue their street talking “jiberish” on the streets around the corner, but their arguments cannot hold water where it is really going to matter. All these people talking about evil, having sex not married, have children with different men, abusing alcohol, about to walk on the streets naked during the carnival season, but they on here talking about God and evil. Amazing how Dominicans can sit on their high horses and point fingers when they fail to realize that we are all sinners. So stop being hypocrites stop living in a house with someone if you are not married, go to church every Sunday or Saturday, pay your tithes, do community service and then come and talk. Other than that we can have civil conversations but not one condemning others because who are we to judge. Where were the religious leaders during Wete fete? All those under age children with alcohol being served and raunchy behavior. If we want to be a religious nation we need to go all out. Not when it suits us? Do like countries like Saudi Arabia where they have zero tolerance for what they consider acts outside of their religious belief. I know I am going to rattle a lot of feathers but I have to call out all those word of mouth Christians , FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD.
well said on both platforms
Burn some fire on them heathen @ Only
Who cares! People, this is a distraction. Let’s continue to build our beautiful country and forget about these negative vibes.
Long Live Dominica and Dominicans!!!!!
The Bible said, He who have no sins cast out the first stone. Who a we the Judge Tommy lee. We listen to Beyonce and Rihanna all of them a demonic possess. We need to be careful. Do the Chinese believe in god?
Who are we who listen to them? Generalizing again!
All of you who are making all these non issue comments,the government of dominica did the right thing,read the laws of caricom,who the hell gives a hoot about Sparta,do dominicans go to jamaica and perform,so please.
Tommy Lee is just laughing at us in DA while these Douglas guys are going all out to embarrass the country. I hope Tommy Lee pays them after losing that case. If any one really thinks that the UN is going to list Dominica as a country who violates human rights because of this one incident will have to think again. I’m actually beginning to feel sorry for Behanzin…
Tommy Lee is crap…Based on the fact the guy is out of bail on a lottery scam, any country Dominica and any other country has every right to deny him entry to their countries. I am sure by the time these people hear his cases he will be in jail somewhere…duh
I appreciate the efforts made by the government to keep this man from performing in Dominica. If in the process of doing this he feels he was manhandled … then let me be the one to apologize on behalf of my country!BUT by no means will we apologize for denying you entry … so go ahead; take us to the courts of the world, you will not get a dime from this country.
Last time i checked i believe Dominica is a Democratic place and i think the police force should have dealt with the matter better and more humane than they did…Some police officer like to go to excesive on the way they treat civillians and that have to stop….They were only looking at one thing using their power to embrass Mr Lee,despite is name and actions before Mr Lee is an International Artiste and thus he should be treated farly like all other Dominicans aboroad,who break rules but still got treated fairly,when i say fairly they should have made him speak to his Lawyer and sleep on a cardboard esp…So what about the persons who invested all thier money and time into the show?Dont talk about the bar and shop keepers ehhhh we must always think of our brothers and sisters who have mouth to feed…
DNO could you remember late last year when a gospel artiste was invlove in a scam?hmmmmmmm
Toommy lee just have to stay spitting, ok
let me add my nonsense piece to this crap, : if in America they could ban Buju for singing against gays, then what is so wrong about DA yes little DA as in David , that we can’t ban a man for glorifying Satanism.
And remember, David must never fear Goliath(UN).
Let mister hector john and lennox linton defend Sparta, hector yes with a little h is a little monster, he is not in power yet , but he can;’t stand my opposition of his party, as if me and him have the same navel string, he ban me on facebook for a simple comment. io not want to see him in power, I don not know what they will call his system because that isn’t democracy, it is a juju situation.
you want to use facebook as a political forum and you cannot take opposition. you hate opposition so much you do not even want to go to parliarment and dod your work boy, just stay hanging out by de Roseau bridge, with your IT Associates degree and think your inarticulate behind will getdream job in the UN. I know you aren’t a politician, you told me yourself in NY by Reagan that you just want a job at the UN
is true!
Dominicans PLEASEEE EDUCATE YOURSELVES before you give an opinion about this story!
1. To all of you who have never listened to Tommy Lee’s Music but are commenting.. I listened to it once last year and I was MORTIFIED! And I am NOT even a religious person! I PROMISE YOU that if your son, husband, boyfriend started singing those extremely violent and demonic lyrics you would be concerned for them! They were THAT BAD!
2. Do you really think he was denied food and water? All of this is LIES! Educate yourself on how the law works! He was probably guided by his legal team to visit a hospital because that will give him a few more $$$ when he sues the Dominican government simply because they embarrassed him! How can y’all not be angry at a man who is dragging Dca’s name to international agencies based on OBVIOUS LIES
3. WHEN WILL DOMINICANS TAKE PRIDE IN THEIR COUNTRY AND NOT LET EVERY VAGABON IN!??!?! The U.S. denies people entry all the time! Why don’t you ask yourself if Tommy Lee even has a visa?NO HE DOES NOT! In a recent interview he asked the U.S. Embassy to give him a visa. SO MANY ARTISTS have a visa! The U.S. doh want mister but its Dca that is a wash your foot and come?
4. Go to Jamaican News Posts! So many Jamaicans are commending the Government for not letting this man in. Obviously you have his supporters who are against it. But he was not denied entry because he was Jamaican!
OPEN YOUR EYES! All of this was
1. A political plot by the opposition to stir up controversy in the island (And no i am not a red nor a blue)
2. A plot by an artist who knew he wasn’t welcomed to come, and sue the government of Dominica to make some money.
Ask yourself…of allllllllll the GREAT artists Jamaicans have produced..Tessanne Chin, Movado etc…Why is it THIS MAN WITH ALL THE CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING HIM the douglases wanted to bring to dca?
If this wasn’t clear before it should be obvious now because of all the OBVIOUS lies. Where in Dca they going to deny you food and water!?
People PLEASE be more patriotic to your country…and stop jumping on the bandwagon of dragging Dominica through the gutter. Self hatred is a hell of a thing!
This man’s music is more disturbing than ANY other music out there! Read his interviews! His attitude is the definition of nasty and misguided and I am sure if your son adopted his attitude you would give him two la
you are to emotional, the man can be denied by America because they are not a caricom member,we all hailer hurray when all those politican talked about CSME, now you want to deport a caricam national because of his belief.
do you know American doh even want to give jamacians visa if they sing againt homosexuals..
let de man perform and who like his music will go.
He said on his website that he is not leaving, its already recorded even if they take it down now. Now his cronies are saying he did not refuse. Dont fret it will go up on smoke, they have idea how powerful the forces against Tommy Lee and Cabral is
When movado came it was the same thing. Protest and outcry…so what you talking about?
If I understand your comment you are saying that every person who spews the kind of filth that this man spews should be denied entry into Dominica including Dominicans I understand you to be saying that we should be patriotic and ignore the law. A Dominican who spews the same filth should be denied their rights. A Jamaican who spews this filth should be denied their rights. Really? Pure ignorance.
you to foolish,its a caricom country he dont need visa.and who are u to say these things are lies
People can spew filth all they want but this guy was coming to Dominica spew his filth to the Nation, all bold and loud. Dominica is our home, we should decide what we want coming in. We don’t always make the right choices as a God fearing country but when we do, we shouldn’t point out the moments we did but commend the positive decision and hope that more are taken. If he was coming for vacation , maybe he would be allowed access but he is coming to preach something we don’t want our youth OR ADULTS to be a part of. IF you wouldn’t like your children to be influenced by this then don’t accept it for the rest of the country. God bless Dominica.
oh please who is Jamaicans they to dam bold good for them ! They will still will come in Dominica because they love money all Dominica bg up you all countries Dam A”””””
The bible say that in the last days men shall call evil good and good evil. I read most of these comments and it just make me see that the coming of God is very soon. I am asking the Christians out there to please continue praying for our young people and country.
U too sot

The Question is, Did the Government make a public announcement that Tommy Lee was not welcome in Dominica.Did the Government inform the Promoters that Tommy Lee will not be allowed to perform in Dominica.If not, this is clear demonstration of poor governance and failed leadership.
Change the Government.
if he claim yo be a demon, y accept him in our country? the Christians should be @ the airport to pray and cast it out..putting him in prison I don’t agree… the show should just be cancelled. we play these songs on the radio its just as bad as having the show.
My beloved country, I am embarrassed !
This is a really interesting situation we’ve found ourselves in. We can see it in the wide range of comments here.
We need to understand that foremost, the conditions of holding cells in Dominica are inhumane, not just for foreigners, but for anyone. Is that the kind of treatment our locals suffer when being detained? This is total madness and has to be changed immediately.
Secondly, we have to be careful what power we give our leaders. If we make it okay for our leaders to assume ultimate power without responsibility, then we have to assume all the responsibility without any power. For example, if Mr. T. Lee wins his case and is granted financial restitution, the money isn’t going to come directly from any government or church official. It is going to be taken from the tax payers earnings.
To continue, Dominica is already under bad light in the international community especially with its latest struggle with gays fighting for rights. Let’s get things straight, pun intended. I am very much in favor of our laws on gay behavior. I will support anyone’s struggle for human rights, especially basic human rights, and I commend the PM for his stance and keeping the laws in tact. That being said, I do not support treating anyone, foreign or domestic in the manner in which it is being reported that Mr. T Lee was. We need to separate ourselves from this kind of publicity and very quickly.
To go further, Dominica seems to be the among the last of the CARICOM to have its citizens travel through the CARICOM by using identification cards. This latest incident may have set us back even further. I would expect that travel will become very difficult for Dominicans, especially transit through Jamaica.
Lastly, it’s time we have some official word from our HOS (head of state). We need to get some clarification on this matter a.s.a.p. so that we as a nation know where we stand. We need to know what is our next step and we need some reassurance right from the HOS’ mouth.
Well to the religious fanatics you need to stand for what is right and don’t be partial in ur judgment,if guys could say god answer you all prayers for having Tommy lee get implications and not perform,you guys should do the same when a cruise ship with 5000 gays came to Dominica its sad to see not a word was said,there’s alot I can speak about but I need to move on.tommy lee and popcann is in the same crew back in Jamaica and because the owner of crazy coconuts is close to the government popcann came and have his show at crazy coconuts without no implications,why stop Tommy lee??because Cabral Douglas don’t support the government??that’s a shame….mr skerrit I just want to tell u that was a wrong move cause the election campaigns are just heating and u do something like that,,I have conducted an assessment and not much young people are pleased with ur decision and as a result most of them won’t vote you I kno I am not voting you for sure….team Dominica all the way…hope Tommy lee gets justice…
His attorney helped him in this case. Some people will concoct lies to get what they want and to try and win their case. It is a lie that he was denied food and water. Probably he refused them.
I hope the immigration and police authorities documented everything which transpired.
Those who are arrested and placed in the detention centre should not expect a bed of roses, some, the comfort they enjoy in their home. The best thing to do is to obey the Law. Then, they will not have to be detained.
He travelled by a charter flight. Are we to assume that if he were not denied entry, the jet would return? How would he return to Jamaica? It looks like he would have spent more than an afternoon/night in Dominica. Did he get that permission?
Fret not people, the gays on the cruise ship had more threats. Right on the page the man say he not leaving now that majee saying he did not refuse to leave. You people will tie up your own towns in court lol
Which town? Roseau or Portsmouth??
….(yawn)………..(yawn again)…….
So the UN apparently haven’t got more important things to do so somebody decide to bother them with a man who call himself a demon…………
And the Dominicans(some of them) are frightened because somebody say they going to report the incident to the UN.
…..(yawn)…………
Some of all you real silly yes. If is frighten all you just want to be frightened just for the sake of being in a state of fright over foolishness, then go and make a bad dog chase all you instead nuh…..
Who is scared? Why should they be scared? The promoters dug a hole for themselves. They may end up paying up; not the government and at the expense of nationals.
It appears like Dominica is being governed, not as a land with governing laws but as one’s personal property.
Can someone please translate one of Tom Lee’s

Resisting against the system my people I know God will never let us down.Mr Lee Dominican don’t want your devil philosophy.
Skerrit is a coward. His things was well calculated. From day one when he got to know who was going to be the organizers he knew his was going to fight it out because he and the Douglas family are not friends. as a matter of fact he and I an are not friends you know is just that for the sake of the business they marrying and divorcing every week. Skerrit knew very well that he did not want to disappoint the youths because he knows he needs their support for the election. He knew very well that if he killed the Tommy Lee show the young people not just from Portsmouth would be mad with him and he could not afford that. So he then went to the church leaders, don’t forget some of them are spiritual advisers, some are business partners like the one that said the villas belongs to him, some he put roof on church for, some he put AC in church for etc and told them that he needed their help. So without thinking of the spiritual consequences as soon as Skerro told them that he wanted them to organize a protest for him in the name of “The Church” and to follow it up with a letter that threatens to clash with the Tommy Lee concert, they were quick to say, ok and mobilized the church because you know since they hear is someone by the name of demons that coming they will show up. So the church jumped with that and created a spiritual mockery of themselves.
Oh lawd! Who cares????!!!??? Ugh…this is so sickening it’s ridiculous! I mean come on man.
It look like all DNO seems to be interested in is what suits Tommy Lee did you all look at Marpin news to hear Jamaicans supports the action of Dominica stop alu foolishness and look at the bigger picture. I thank God that he was able to stop uncle demon from taking the stage.
That is worse than being called baboons.
Yes Dominica. Every issue is now a political one. I support the move by the authorities like many other Dominicans. TLS and his team knew just what they were up to. They played it to get media attention and public sympathy. But that will work only with those who are simple minded. The decision was made prior to his arrival and his team was informed.
Had it been America who had denied him entry his private broom would not have landed for sure.
Let the PM be. Let him do his work.
This is really taking it to the next level oui boy! Now what for you all to do is jump off the cliff you put yourselves on.
From day one they did not wanted him to perform he showed them that no one can stop him. The main person to blame is Cabral and the lawyer who is busy to make a case. Thy will be done with you all. God is trying reachout to you all.
To be honest I do not know who this young chap is but quite a few artist in the pas was banned from travelling to England and the U.S. such as Bonty Killer and other well known artist. You cannot force a country to have someone if they do not want them there. I am sure the other artist are more famous than the young individual and they had to accept it.
AS smoke is driven away from fire so shall THE LORD drive DA’s enemies away from Her!!!
You’ve been set up Cabral et al….
How, where and when could they have determined blood clots in Marigot?????
don’t worry after they will need they jamaicans for dere Creole festival. ..
Jamaicans dont come to Dominica for Creole fest and if they come they are very few . Why why England deported buju we see no British citizen say bad things about their country but when our country take steeps to protect their citizens we say so meany bay thing s is it the small island mentality or what
Garbage u talking even if Jamaicans stay from Dominica what that have to do with the price of rice at Whitchurch. Money they taking out the island we, so what if they doh come they that losing. Thank God that devil did not have his way in my island through his messenger.
Am not please about how they treated him, we are all members of Carioca free movement,but we don’t need no Jamaicans for WCMF because it’s not creole.Am not from Dominica but visit every year
Then you do not comprehend the sitation. Italians are generally religious people. Catholics at that. Have you fallen away from the faith which is why you lack godly enlightenment?
Of course. The other Jamaican artistes will be invited to DA and will be welcomed. So the problem is not with Jamaica, but with that particular artiste. We are to protect our borders. I am sure if the authorities had allowed him entry some of you would have criticized the PM.
stupid comment. you think them ja artiste going to give up $us 20,000 a performance because of tommy lee? all now alot of other dancehall artiste are happy that happened to him.did you hear what he said? who the #uck is dominica to deny him entry? and another ja blogger said that dominica is a third world country.so all you want to cut all you neck for a demon who does not give a rat’s behind about all you our country. well let me say that— 5 the demon, 4 the sparta, 3 the lock up, 2 the accident and wait for number one. he has started to self DESTRUCT. and the un will be on his side cause it is a devil administration
@ Diva, we have so much talent in Dominica, so much so, that we can’t showcase all! Don’t insult our Dominican people with your crap that we will need Jamaican artist for Creole Fest! Have more pride in your people and your Island. ” Nous connet Vive”!! Lol
diva you are so stupid, do we need jeff joseph
fisrt of all jamacian was not even suppose to be in creole cause the festival is creole not any so let leave them out as i have been saying where is st lucia martinique guadeloupe haiti and so on
Here is part 3. God NEVER intended for the church and politicians to be in partnership. whenever the church and government become friends expect confusion and mess like we are having now. The job of government is to lead whereas the role of the church is to pray for them -1Tim 2:1-4. When the church becomes the friend of politicians know spiritual values will be compromised by the church as politicians will do anything knowing very well that they will not be rebuked by politicians. In fact things have gone so bad with us that some of our leaders have found themselves in bed with politicians because of gifts. Take for example evangelist P.A. During the reign of UWP he was all over rebuking them for list mistake. So powerful we were that during a crusade in the valleys the house speaker did everything to stop us and she and the evangelist couldn’t stand a bone in each other. But since Skerrit became PM, Skerrit nominated her for president and not a word from evangelist P.A. Elijah, Elisha, Jerimiah, Isaiah were all on the otherside of politicians and would always rebuke them. The church of Acts was never loved by politicians because they would not allow their gifts to get blinded like those greedy preachers we have here. In Matt. 14, John the Baptist was brutally murdered by the politician Herod because John told him it was wrong for him to have sex with his brother’s wife. Can you understand why Skerrit can do anything he wants and none of those so-called men of God will say nothing? They are after what they can get from skerrit who has become their god
I meant to say politician know very well they will not be rebuked by the church.
As believers we all have our political preferences and that is alright. But when we get to the point where we are bought by politicians and cannot rebuke them because we feel we might not get favors from them, you know we are in real trouble. I want NOTHING from no politician because my God has promised to supply all my needs. My God is not man, is not my belly but Jehovah! Politicians and governments come and go; but Jehovah God reigns forever!
With all the bs. If I want to have a show in da. I must go through all legal aspects to get approval to have the show. Everything was granted at the time it was proposed. Why spend the money to get it canceled by the same ppl who approved it? They changed their minds? Are we 5 years old doing business on a play ground? Change our minds. Some county to do business with. Great for development. Keep it up baboons (lucky dube)… we are the only ones suppressing ourself. Killing our growth and development. See the big picture ppl. The world is looking or whom ever had or have plans of doing business here is looking.
it is important that we pay attention to names. For example, the bus drivers give themselves names such as Satan etc.I would not stop a bus with the name satan.The very same thing applies to uncle demon. I would not let another demon enter the country.Jamaicans are welcome to Dominica but whoever it is,come in the name of Tommy Lee but not uncle demon.We have had many Jamaican artists come to Dominica for creole festival and were never denied entry.We cannot afford to bring any more negative influences to Dominica.Uncle Demon, just want to remind you that GOd was involved in your denial so He will be involved in the outcome of the court.
i live in europe and have right to live and work as i wish.herb is tolerated in england but is not in france..so i go with the rules off the country and that’s it.jamaican never had problems working in dominica.in each creole festival there were always like 2 jamaican artist.so stop pretending like dominica is racist.STOP IT OK..and some dominicans needs to reevaluate themselves .stop pressing your own country .MAN .I VEX
When those pastor having sex with them young woman is they not satan to than hypocrite
Does Cabral have an office in Roseau ?
Does he have an idea of our local and regional laws?
Does he know about the exceptions to unfettered entry under our Treat Obligations ?
Is he aware that pre-trial publicity could prejudice the case to the CCJ ?
How does he reconcile Beyanzi’s lack of confidence in the CCJ and taking this matter to the same court?
Is he aware what the Jamaican Observer newspaper is saying on this matter via the comments section ?
Is he aware that Hunter has a song anything for a dollar?
Is he aware of the concept of Public morality ?
Is he aware that its key as much as possible to separate the legal from the political ?
Is he aware that the level of attacks that he has launched against his cousin makes it difficult for others to trust him and brings out his insensitive nature?
How does he explain a belief in God and the undoubtedly anti Godly pronouncement/Satanistic appeals of Tommy Lee Sparta ?
The church thinks our job is to police people from wrong. Our job is to teach people how to stay from evil because we are in an evil world.
In Gen 1 to ch.3, after God created the universe, He planted the tree of both good and evil in the garden and placed Adam right there. Did he build a fence around the tree of EVIL to protect Adam from it? He simply warned Adam about the danger of it but Adam had to chose.
In Deut. 30:19 He said, “… I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life…” Man has to choose between what is right from what is wrong. The job of the church is not to protest or try to shield people from evil but rather, to teach men and women to choose the ways of the Lord. If they fail to choose the way of God they will find themselves craving for the pleasures of life and that we cannot stop. When Jesus came on earth, He met satan, demons, evil spirits etc and when He left the earth He left them there as well.
Why didn’t the promoters informed the artist that he was cancelling the show because Dominicans were not happy with his type of music to avoid what happened?
Was the promoter daring the government that he could do whatever he wanted? What was the promoter’s role in the whole affair.
Could the promote avoid what happened to Tommy Lee? Or is that what he actually wanted to happen?
The question in most our minds is why?
This is a government by the people for the people. The people spoke and it was crystal clear NO DEMONS ALLOWED. Big up to you Skerrit, now it is on to 21 seats, full steam ahead chief. WE TAKING MARIGOT,ROSEAU AND SALISBURY.
Dumbinicans fail to realise that the man is protected under our consitution as he entered dominica, he HAS the right to express himself, be it as a christian or satanist, the thing is if you dont liKe his music dont go to his concert..
there are so many ungoly acts happening in dominica and the christians and catholic are moomoo. this place cannot matchup to the world that is rapidly changing, its like a government build a road and come on election day and tell us they give us a road, so they are praising themselves for doing what they were hired to do…
BACKWARD PLACE I MOVING TO HAITI…AHHAH
Speak for yourself, you moomoo and ungodly person.
As a born again believer I know I will get blows for what I am about to say but I am use to that already. I have said it before and will say it again; The church should not allow themselves to be used by Skerrit or any politician to accomplish their dirty political game. I am not in support of Tommy lee Sparta and I do not know him and have never listened to any of his music. I treat him the same way I treated artists whose music and goal is to draw men to God. For the church to say his music promotes demons and that’s why they played the role that they played leaves me to wonder if Jamaican artists like Tosh, Bob Marley, Bunny wailer etc all of the 80’s promoted the kingdom of God? Do we blame them for the ganga in Dominica today? Absolutely not! Yes, according to the church their problem with Tommy Lee is because he goes by the name of “Demon” and thus promotes the Devil here. While I do not have a problem with that, my question is, did we not have evil, devil worship, witchcraft, and those that are sold to obia and guardet zafe in Dominica way before this guy? Are some of our politicians not known to be indulging themselves in these evils? Yet do we not bless them and refer to some of them as jesus? Life is about the choices we make. It is about good and it is not our job to put a stumbling block in the way of anyone. Skerrit just used the church and the church might not have only chased TLS from the gospel but many others. We must learn to let the dead bury their dead. Part 2 is coming
I think is you that is causing yourself to be used by politicians, born again believers are suppose to be salt of the earth and light of the world and we should come as one body to fight the kingdom of darkness so if by the people of God actions the Government act we should be happy and give glory to God, instead of typing garbage and call our self born again.
yah hundred 100% agree
This land is Dominica’s and belongs to it. God gave this land to Dominicans.
Well, you are on the side of Satan, Lucifer, the dragon, the snake, the deceiver, the cunning one, the father of lies and not on the side of God, godliness and morality. Those who agree with you are likewise the same. Woe to all of you! You are not even on the side of Dominica and standing up for what is right.
You stick to the issue. I am certain that you are exaggerating. The personal affairs of Dominicans are none of your business and should not be mentioned to draw comparison with Tommy Lee and his character. As God knows you, your heart and lifestyle, you, yourself are no goody two shoes.
You are living in the past. 1980’s are long gone and those who you speak of are no doubt all gone to their eternal destiny. I do not think those you mentioned were ever as bad as this man, the devil worshiper who sings demonic songs and of destruction.
The fact is Tommy Lee was denied entry. This man was recently arrested for a lottery scam. He is not a good reputable candidate for performing to Dominicans. This must also be kept in mind. It is as simple at that.
UN is a body of various people of different beliefs and characters and is by no means on the side of God.
The D/can authorities had a right to refuse Tommy Lee entry. Who is any foreigner as the UN, godless people they are and who knows that some of them too are devil worshipers, to dictate to Dominican authorities? Who does Tommy Lee think he is?
We have the UN but the world is still topsy- turvy and is getting worst. It was much better without the UN. So much for UN. I have no confidence in UN. All countries should get out of UN.
@simply the truth, do you really think you deserve a response? You are a confused person and every blogger knows you. Although you changed your name from ‘Justice and Truth’ to simply the truth, to tell you the truth, it’s the same garbage that comes out of your mouth. In fact no matter what name you use, I have never seen your getting much support. You Always get either thumbs down or hidden for low rating, which you rightly deserve. Shame on you!
That is the HUMAN SPIRIT that we need to share with each other;
This is the way to go if we want to move Dominica anywhere.Thought like these we need to cultivate, not the HATE that is distorying the state;
WE HATE without cause,We ‘HATE’ to feel “GOOD”
IF we would understand that “LIFE” is just a flicker of TIME maybe we would act diffrently;though we want to live as long as we would like to live,we are not guarantee the next minute;we should try to focus on living GOOD,by doing GOOD.NOT by thinking we are good, and we can say what we want;But by being TRUE to ONESELF. LOVE YOU my PEOPLE;
Possie as far as I am concern you neither warm nor cold ..You will be spewed out of the Lords mouth if you don’t choose whose side you are on. I bet if he was allowed to enter and things went topsy – turvey you would be blaming somebody . Its better to remain quiet sometimes… I am also a born again christian!!
@July Gem, I don’t think you deserve a response but only to say that I am indeed happy you are hot and will not be spewed out of the Lord’s mouth. I don’t even wish that for my enemy but this explains your level of ignorance and quick to judge others that hold a different opinion.
@July Gem, why did you not quote the entire passage in Rev. 3:
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
You realize none of the rebukes were directed at an individual but at the church? So don’t use it to attack an individual because he / has expressed how they feel about the condition of the church in Dominica today because it is a fact that since Mr. Skerrit became the prime Minister, the church has lost it’s way and that powerful voice and influence we once had in the days of Pastor Bell, pas. Prince, Cuffy and others, who all had their political side but their names were never called in any political mess and all politicians would respect them. That’s not the case today. The church leaders have taken a political side at the expense of our voice and it is a fact that Skerrit can do whatever he wants and they will say nothing. So don’t hate the messenger because you hate the message.
I just find we are to hypocritical in dominica. I mean the same weekend we throw sparta out we had just hosted a Mr Caribbean show wii magwa..sa. what double standard is that.? Now I am in no way supporting this character but if we say we are a god fearing nation why don’t wrlead by example buggeery is illegal in dominica. People let’s get our act right ok …I love dominica. YAHWEH BLESS DOMINICA..ONE LOVR
sorry but for u to speak like this I don’t think u are a born again at all. do u know that the devil was a worship leader in heaven? so expect him to used music to carry out some of his dirty work. tommy lee was stop by the most high God, this was beyond all politicians so open your spiritual eye
@Anonymous, happy you are born again and is a worship leader in God’s house. God bless you. However, I stand firm on what I said. God gave every man a choice and man has to choose between God’s way and the way of the world. God planted both the tree of life and the tree of death in the garden of Eden and placed Adam right there. He told Adam of the danger of eating from the tree of evil and Adam was responsible. God did not fence the tree of Evil to ensure Adam does not eat. The church could protest as much as they want to keep TLS out but the people who love his music will still find a way to listen to it. The job of the church is not to protest but to preach the gospel of Christ. Now if the church was not aligning itself with any political party but instead would stand as the light of Dominica and they decided to protest, it would be understandable. But the fact that most of our leaders, and I can call name too, have so aligned themselves with Skerrit to the point that there names have been mentioned in the corruption of Skerrit (and evidence is there to support this) sure puts me and others in a position to question their motives in that Tommy Lee Saga.
It is not what goes into a man that destroys him ; it is what comes out.
Just another “blame skerrit” comment that confirms the abject intellectual depravity that plagues many Dominicans.
Wha happened, is Skerrit dat asked the churches to protest? What kind of idotic comment is this? How do you arive at a conclusion as stupid as “Skerrit just used the church?!” How has he used the church in this saga? Why would he have to “use the church” to deny the artiste entry?
You claim to be a “believer”. We have no idea in what/whom you believe. My advice to you is to stop obsessing over Skerrit. You and your ilk are turning him into a mini-god, much bigger than he realy is. Idiot!!
How did I arrive at that conclusion you asked? Tony told us saw, but fell short of telling us the WHOLE TRUTH :The government said he was denied entry, detained and deported in the interest of public safety.
Meanwhile Senior Counsel Anthony Astaphan, told the Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC) ….“A significant portion of our communities are Christian and they have expressed outrage of this particular individual.” Ask Skerrit and Tony to tell us the whole story and what spiritual leaders met with Skero to cook the plan.
@ Possie direct why is it u all think people are that dumb? we all know now why he was denied entry so wrong or right that’s life but him being arrested was his own fault so please don’t make it seem they denied him then arrested him.
Amen!
Like you said people will bash you for what your comment….I understand where you coming from, I think Sparta playing or not playing doesn’t change the price of rice people will sin, but that is my flesh thinking. Spiritually thinking I can’t be casual about the fight for God’s People (Everyone in this island whether they accept him or not) because the enemy is not being CASUAL about it, he never sleeps, he never say “oh well its just a little thing” I support the people who fought cuz I know the enemy is fighting HARDER…I UN! I mean really. Don’t be casual Christians while the enemy is being diplomatic
@possie direct I agree with you as well. I have always said that I do not believe that is how Jesus would have dealt with the matter. The scribes and pharises were always quick to condemn as well and Jesus took a different approach. Remember the woman caught in adultery, Zacheus etc. As Christians we need to take a different approach at transforming lives and bringing people to Christ. Our actions need to convert others to Christ and not deter them.
We need to condemn the sin but not the sinner.
Possie…. they telling u open spiritual eyes. doh insult possie. possie doh even have eyes… this one is an unsaved Christian. whey pa pa u doh even know what day it is. And secondly, leave politics out of it…read your bible pray every day, pray every day, read your bible pray every day and you’ll grow, grow grow
@Anonymous, how can you tell me to leave politics out when politics is the main issue? Do you not know who are the organizers? FYI its a Douglas. Do you not know where everything was supposed to take place? In Possie. Do you know who is the parlrep of Possie? A Douglas again who is first cousin of organizers. Do you know is minister for tourism? It’s that same Ian Douglas. Do you know who was TLS attorney here? Another Douglas with a different last name. Do you know the names of politicians Cabral Douglas asked to resign? Ian Douglas and Roosevelt Skerrit. Although the later ‘s last name is not Douglas, however his first name is same as Roosevelt Douglas AKA Rosie, who is father of both Tiany and Cobral
@Possie direct…..it’s either you are plain stupid, hypocrite or just lost. Here you are talking about being a born again Christian, accusing the church (based on what, you are not even sure of …because of something someone told you).Don’t try to mixing religion with politics here just because you might be against the Skerritt administration. The man’s (Lee Sparta) music is DEMONIC. You can’t compare his music to other artist’s music. The leaders of the church and maybe the government have listened to the music and based on what they heard , have decided not to let that fool in.You can’t just let anyone come into your country with whatever they have and do whatever they like. It’s just like having someone come visit your house. Every country has it’s laws and people should learn to abide by the laws of a country. You can’t go elsewhere and do whatever you like, why allow another to come to yours and do whatever he likes. Maybe you should listen to it and then come back with an answer. Stop being a blind lead by the blind.
@ Eyeballs, while you are not sure whether I am stupid, hypocrite or lost, I have no doubt that you are a BIG FOOL and I suggest that DNO puts a disclaimer out for people like you, so that when others read your comments they will know that all Dominicans are not that foolish and you are just an isolated case. Did I ever justify TLS music? Did I not say I don’t support his music? But because I don’t support his music just as I don’t support unsaved music, does it mean I should force my desires on others? Didn’t God plant both the tree of good and evil in the same garden of Eden and then place Adam there? Learn to accept people even if you disagree with what they sing or practice and if anything, let’s not close doors on anyone but instead look for opportunities to win them to the Lord.
Finally someone with a voice of reason
Well i can say that non of the parties are fit for leading a country such as this,if we were still ruled by United Kingdoms we would be better of tourism would be pouring in the money and we would not have to worry about anything guys wake up we have made mistakes in the past by turning into independent country Columbus gave the country its name and then claimed it as the United Kingdom’s leave history as it is don’t you see the countries are better of cause they haven’t changed the history.
I’m from Portsmouth and PM I’m behind you 10000% why those Jamaica people think our country is ghetto where is more ghetto than Jamaica stand strong My PM I’m 30 years old I don’t listen to that demon music and you Cabral shame on you a lot Dominicans go overseas and get deported denied entry put us back on the next plane nobody says nothing who the hell is tommy
This is ridiculous the boy is fine he is just making a big fuss and making up stories about blood clots etc how can you preform and dance around on stage if your leg is sore . The U.N. has far more important things to deal with than some disgruntled musician.
We have ghetto concrete floor but all the shanties in the Jamaican capital has dirt floors.
u so foolish to compare dominica to jamaica , man jamica is london compared to dominica so if u have nothing to say shut ur stupid up, he sould be treated with respect and deported the proper way , atlease deny him access to perfom not deport him
if we have ghetto concret floors don’t say then its true.
This man and all those who represent him in this case are a bunch of liars.
Have you ever been to Jamaica you sound silly
Irrelevant!
Yes mi boy! Sue dem! Time for fairness in this place. Churches can’t come out against batty man boat docking in, the bishop malzaire fraid to give jah words against homosexuality yet they can come out to stop de man from entering. Come on my people. Wake up and yes Skerrit and all his clowns should go. WAKE UP, TIME FOR CHANGE!!! FLING WEY DAT………
Wait when you stand before God. When the truth will be revealed to you, you will bite your tongue, even before that. It will be too late for regrets.
This whole incident is just rediculous.
‘ridiculous’. Which one are you referring to? There were two primary incidents in this case. Read the first article and then the others.
we run Da not JA.
jjk sorry i could give u only 1 thumb up but multiply it by 1000.there are caricom laws but each country has it’s own
And the UN does not run DA and its authorities.
SOOOO WHAT.
i am so waiting for when sparta looses his case against the Dominican government, all of the people who criticizing the actions of Dominica, i wonder what song you guys will be singing this time around, typical Dominicans like to bring down their own but uplift an outsider..smh
Thas so true . The people that is talking I wounder if they ever check the dominica laws for the immigration because I wounder if they know that the passport they hold is not even their own it belongs to the president of dominica and can be ask to be return check in the back of your passport so much less for a non national the country have the right to refuse entry to any one that they feel is not in order with the law
Am not a supporter of the government, but support ur statement
What is bad, these appear to be on the side of the evil one. Their words have projected that.
These are skeritts friends:
late hugo chavez
late Colonel Gaddafi
Castro Clan
China Socialist party
Morocan King?
Maybe Putin.
I know who skeritt is. What else you guys expected. He made himself incharge of National security to control the police, minister of finance to control the purse and minister of foriegn affairs to keep his grasp on outside influence.
I predict skeritt’s reign will crumble from within cause i cannot believe there are ministers and honest government officials who are going to sit there and do or say nothing while this man is taking ghe country further down the drain. Who are we concerned about. The labour party? The people of Dominica? Or childrens future?.
what goes around comes around.
MR pm I see your PM days are numbered.
One day you will be called “the late…” If you think his reign will crumble, I predict after that you will be sucking salt. It will be your punishment.
jealousy….JALOUZIE…you wish you were PM eh….try again!! LOL
you good sot eh.. u wish you were pm to so wa is ur point, but is true look at skero friends! tell me if they are any good, show me your friends ill tell you who you are
just imagine some bringing down skerro and the pastors and religious groups for not accepting this devil himself in person but if ever a natural disaster should take place now like what took place in haiti then those same hypocrites will be running to dem pastors and religious groups to pray for d:a and come together etc etc boy boy boy
Sweetheart no pastor can pray for you….he can pray yes but not all prayers God listen too…The pastors will pray make the case and the trouble they started go away. Skeritt should let them foot the bills/lawsuit…People should stop putting God in their empty noise….
dont mind the fools, they bring pm into everything , thats how much they hate progress , UWP at work
loosers
true that I can’t believe that Dominicans would want someone like that in our country
Can you hear?? Give us the teachings of his Majesty.For we no want no Devil philosophy.
They do it all the time. God knows those hypocrites and wicked people. The same Church they criticize and lambaste, it is the same Church they will also need when they are dying. They will also want a church funeral and burial. God knows if they will be saved or not. I promise to write a religious book about this and more.
karla karla THOSE DAYS are over;
WE the PEOPLE know better;
WE know what the Religous leaders after
not to save souls but save gold;
check the history of wars,and you will see religion finger print all over them;
Natural disaster;IS WHAT IT IS;there is nothing anyone can do about it; The MAN MADE DISASTER all you create with HATE;that what all you have to PRAY FOR.
The last time I check Dominica was not a member of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) so this case is (DOA) dead on arrival.
About seeking the resignation of the Hon. Prime Minister and His Minister of Tourism is total Rubbish.
I’m a Dominican living abroad a I back an support you one million per cent, its about time now that we Dominicans to come together an stand by each other, and stop pulling down one another. it’s real bad that only in times of need we know religion, government and exc…………..
stupid comment. because da not yet being a part of ccj does not mean a case cant be filed against da
True, but it has jurisdiction over Jamaica and the Appellant is a Jamaican national, which means they have long arm jurisdiction in hearing the case. … Yea sad but true.. then again, there is a way for Dominica to win this case, given the nature of the incident. A CARICOM member state still has the individual right to deny entry to other CARICOM nationals that may be deemed as a threat to security and peace. So that’s in my view that’s a failure to even consider taking the Dominican Gov’t to court.
I agree with you. Putting it mildly, it is real garbage. They are wasting their time.
I agree with you. We have the right to deny entry to our beautiful Island. Shanty Town??? Did a Jamaican refer to Shanty Town in DA? They should look in their own back yard! As for asking for the PM’s resignation – I’m heaving!!!
Agree!!!
Rubbish indeed !!!
Clearly you are ignorant of Dominica’s relationship with the CCJ
having a relationship does not make you a member
This will go to the CCJ as expected and if it is proven that there was any wrong doing against Tommy Lee Dominica will have to pay. It will have to be proven first though. Like I said church and state should not mix. This was a political ploy by the opposition forces who complained and even wrote calypsos about the fact that religious leaders are keeping silent about what they claim to be the ills taking place in the country. The church was pressured and forced to respond to these allegations by taking a stand on this Tommy Lee issue. This is the result.
Dominica, as leaders in the Caribbean for unity and advocating of the implementation of the CCJ as the Caribbean’s final court of justice should see the matter through the court system and if the evidence shows that there was wrongdoing to Tommy Lee should pay any damages that is assessed. Remember we are leading the charge in this Caribbean unity business. WE MUST practice what we preach. Good luck to Tommy Lee. I hope he gets justice.
the church was forced? is nonesense u talking. do u all read over and think when u all write.
Let me inform you. In words of ungodliness, immorality and immoral laws, church and state does not mix. God has set his Ten Commandments which everyone must follow.
These are the same people who are Christians, who go to church, who pray to God I hope. These are the same ones who, when they die, God will judge them for their words and deeds.
If you foolish people think as you state church and state does not mix and with your ignorant words can keep God out of the state, try taking Him out of it. He is right in your midst, listening to them and taking note of all what they say. How else will He be able to judge them on that day? You are not smart people. You cannot keep God out of anywhere and anything. Smarten up!
Have you forgotten God created the world and human beings and His eyes are everywhere, in all they say and do, that no one escapes his scrutiny for their judgment? Would love to tell you more.
Church and State should not mix only when it is convenient for you people.. The bible said the church needs to cry out to God for the nation ..So there!!!!
Preach the word, do humanitarian work but not participate in demonstrations or any form of political activity except to exercise your civil rights and vote.
If all of these allegations–especially a lack of documentation for his denial of entry–are accurate, then this is truly a public-relations disaster that will not go away soon. What an embarrassment–and this is all the fault of our religious fanatics. Who else could have convinced the government that the concert presented a threat?
Religion and government do not go together. Secular government is the only way to go, so as to allow freedom of religion, freedom from religion, and freedom in general at better levels.
If you were well read and learned you would know that Governments started directly from religious organizations. In fact they were one and the same… The queen of England is the head of the Anglican church. The pope and cardinals sit in high political ranks and tribunals etc…
It’s so funny that you mentioned well read and learned. It is good that you know these facts, however, you seem not to know the history after. It is because of these kinds of tragedies that church and state have been separated in England. The pope and his underlings sit on no county’s legal systems except Vatican City.
You speak about the days when religion played a major role in politics to the point where kings had to get religious approval to crate decrees. Look at all the wars that have been fought in the last fifty years. How many religious leaders have put their feet down and simply told the world leaders to stop. None. Why? Because religion no longer has an authoritative stance in politics. Politicians only show their religion so as to convince the people that they, the politicians, are good God fearing people that the community can trust.
Which still makes it wrong. We have left the dark ages behind.
If you call them religious fanatics, learn to be one for it is the only way to obtain eternal salvation by standing up for God, for truth, for morality. Do not miss the boat for you will regret it forever where there is no turning back and coming back.
Your thumbs down make no different; cannot change a thing and do not mean a thing. The Word of the Lord is here to stay to the end of time on Judgment Day and forever.
i think any other Jamaican artiste that is hired to perform in Dominica should boy cut it in protest of this nonsense, at least, if it is a cabinet decision, they didn’t make that decision on Saturday, so they could have very well lat the promoters know that he wouldn’t be allowed to enter Dominica instead of doing this foolishness.
this was my very thought when i first heard the news
They will have the nerve to invite other Jamaicans to perform. If their lyrics are an abomination, they better clean up their act if they wish to perform in addition to not being caught up and arrested in illegal activities.
the promoters knew, they were told after the decision was taken. They just wanted to be political and cause an already bad situation to get worse. Cabral and his lawyer are the ones to be blamed
Who cares ??? They can girlcut if they don’t want to boycut…
again i say good for this satan demon let him take what he get he knew he was not wanted in d:a but instead he spoke out saying he will still come well is mann u mann let lucifer help u thanks skerro and all who prayed against this the situation could have been handled more professionally en by our officials but guess what it happen already
@karla. Your vemom indicates that you are more satanic than he is. You sound desperate and devoid of love.You need to trun to God.
You can’t serve two masters at the same time. u either love God or you love satan. simple as that. or even simpler, u either love good or u love evil
……………….. retarded i can clearly see through u so i doh expect anythig better from yr mouth dee man says it in songs express it in vedeos dont talk bout his pics clearly what he represents alass papa bondiay shame on u
The enemy could not even cure his leg. Only God is the Healer and capable of healing it.
Soon he may not be able to walk. Will he blame
the D/can authorities for that too?
Who the hell is Tommy Lee Sparta you Dominicans are busy fighting for? I’ve never seen such stupid people like Dominicans. They will not fight for their own but they ready to eat the heads off others for Tommy Lee Sparts. Even fighting his own relative…calling for his resignation. You all just don’t know Jamaicans eh. If the gov’t of the country said that Tommy Lee was not allowed in the country because of such reasons, he should have stayed his butt away and not try to prove he is above all else.
all i can tell who ever u are in god eyes tommy lee is a brother to all of us and he deserve the same rights like all of us we are all humans think before u talk next time
In God’s eyes he is only a human being. The man rejected God. He put the enemy of God and of our souls first before God. His name is that of the demon and so are his songs, giving honor to the enemy of God. So what garbage did you state? Some of you will never comprehend this man’s evil character and reputation which displeases God. He is an enemy of God and not a lover of God. Furthermore, God did not want him performing in Dominica. This is why he was denied entry and tried to force his way in Dominica, bold as he is. Take this and smoke it in your pipe!
Offcourse he deserves his rights but he has to adhere to the rules of the country. He is not above anyone else. If he was denied entry, all he had to do was take his lame azz and his antourage and get the hell out. It’s some rudeness he made which is why he was thrown in jail.
u talk like an idiot , what are u feeling like, if u all had told the man he cant come he will not have come and beside , what right do u all have to humilate another, stop being stupid , not because u can write and u pick up a pc and write trash , whats there in your dominica that is not else where a billion times,the people were wrong in the way they did thier thing, at least put him in a better place , and dont allow him perform , u all acting like u all from heaven while there is nothing there better than anywhere else , bunch of ignorant people , little matters they make it big and political . block heads
The manner of deportation was wrong and dominica needs to apologize,
You overlook that the promoters were fully aware of it and did nothing about it.
Would you believe that there are Jamaicans living in Jamaica now who do not know who this man is?? And some Dominicans want to glorify him? Awa!! Magwe sa!!!
I support some of ur statement but this government have to go
What a mess… Yea I didn’t even know who this tommy lee person was… But it is true that out conditions for detainees are disgusting… As the gay men had reported as well… Why did they allow the booking in the first place? Why wait till he gets here? Smh Dominica is making a name for themselves and it’s not a good one… The problem is not with the officials but the ridiculous laws rules and regulations in the country… Dca is like a circus…
They expected the detention centre to be a palace, a mansion? What is Jamaica’s detention centre like? Maybe you should try checking it out.
Dominican s have no common sense
i hope u not one or correct yr stupid sentence
You mean some D/cans? Those who are on the side of Tommy Lee? If so I understand how much common sense they lack.
Cause of public safety? Come on!! It is the right of the people if they wanted to attend or not. I don’t understand this type of behavior on the part of the Government appeasers, do your ting Mr. Douglas, jam them and jam them hard!!
You are really what you call yourself. You said it not me. There’s nothing solid to jam the authorities with, far less to jam them hard but they jam TLS sooo very hard that he was cast out of DA. That reminded me of another incident.
It is not a matter of who wanted to attend could. The fact is, the authorities made a decision based on this man’s reputation and they must be obeyed. It includes you.
St. Michael the arch angel
defend us in the day of battle
be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil
May God rebuke him we humbly pray
and do thou oh prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God
thrust down into hell Satan
and all the evil spirits
who wonder through the world
for the ruin of souls.
Amen.
Amen.
I would advise persons to desist from using the artist’s performing name. Do you know what it means? Do you know how pleased you make the devil by repeating it. This is a very serious issue…
” 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Eph 6:12
It don’t make a difference whether he plays at a public concert …. This does not stop the community from listening to his music or watching his music video ….. Therefore he is not a threat to the society
“He was consequently moved to the Marigot Hospital emergency room because a metal from his broken leg developed blood clots, cramps and muscle spams.”
So, according to Ms. Williams the metal from his leg is what developed the blood clots, cramps and muscle spasms.
Wow!!!!!
@Seriously You are too darn stupid. Go learn English somewhere. Are you Skerrit?
@…….., it appears that you are the one who needs to learn English. ..You are too darn stupid.
So this person thinks so little of Dominica and Dominicans to the point of using the word “ghetto” and who knows what other words he used; and Dominicans want to support such arrogance.
His foot falling off and he coming to do concert in Dominica? Now he want to sue for pain and suffering. The boy should have been at home in bed or a wheelchair or a Jamaican hospital. But now he want to ruin Dominica by telling the UN Dominica didn’t take care of my bobo. The UN have a lot more pressing issues to worry about than this boy crying because he wasn’t pampered.
He came to get all you little money when all you always crying things hard all you can’t put food on all you table. Now he spitting on
you are the one who appears to be stupid to me, because your understanding of the English language appears to be very limited!

A Jamaican would never do that for a Dominican if the roles were reversed!!
Yes! Please resign as soon as quick as possible.
NONSENSE!!!
Resign why? Someone should not resign unless he/she is old or have finished what has been started. There is still plenty work to be done and plenty time. I think from my calculation it is more than 6 years.
…and more…
I hope Good and the false (Dominica) prophets can clean this one up.
Justice must be done for Tommy Lee and Cabral D. PM and Tourism Minister, WE are calling on you to resign immediately! Impeachment I say!
We who are on the side of God and of righteousness do not expect any better from you, rasta.
Poor my little Dominica,what have we come to..I would let pastor BJ and others pay de law suit..
Ryan you should realize by now that Pastor BJ and the others prayed and the concert did not take place. Pastor BJ and the others will pray and there will be no case. It has been thrown out the window. The power of prayer
Sigh…and the unfortunate saga continues.
The way to get them out is by next election.and when u all suing don’t forget the religious leaders they said they put forces together.
Woooooosh. It never rains, it pours. As if I am beginning to get tired of seeing Dominica’s name dragged in the mud all over the world.
Me too, but things are not always what they seem. There are some dark forces at work here.
the only dark forces is the stupidity of our leadership, pandering to a not too popular, among youth at least, christian community who has shown to be openly political and self serving. this will have repercussions not only for the politicians but also for we the tax paying citizens.
Beginning with the name, Dr. Demon. Who are they to say anything?
Wait Wait is not “Public Security” do like the U.S do it’s because of National Security,,,
All you meet allyou match, dey should take The Cabal to International Court of Justice for Violation(s) of Natural Liberties,,,
I understood he came to D/a on a one way ticket. Am wondering what is the meaning of this? Was he planning to stay in D/a?
u self u canna read you not seeing the man come on his private plane …(excuse my english thats what this illiterate can understand)
Since Tommy Lee did not perform, there was probably no money to pay them. The private plane did not wait for him to transport him back to Jamaica after his detention and deportation.
Well done Roosevelt- and your gang on hench men.Not admitting a fellow caricom NATIONAL into the island based on your faith is the most ridiculous thing i have heard- You represent, christian, non christains- hindu, budhist, taoism, confucianism and all other sects on islands. Grow up boys with toy. The onslaughter on Dominica has only now started. It WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH BETTER IS YOU HAVE GIVEN THE ARTIST ADVANCE NOTICE!!!-DO NOT COME.
That just destroy dominica’s image that them so called pastors wanted. hold that take dat !!!! allu must be mindfull what actions you all take!!! that government there
Tommy Lee, you are a strong one indeed, love that about you. We all have rights, so they thought you had to intelligence. Hahahaaaa Uncle Demon
Yes I tommy my boy. You’re a business man, I see his going to do things legally, like a civilized human being. The world don’t have time for those magic hocus pocus nonsense yall Dominicans still afraid of.
A civilized man would have obeyed laws. When asked to return to his plane and to take off he should have obeyed with class, dignity and pride. He is no civilized man.
While Fort Young is Rebranding their Hotel,
SKERRITT is REBRANDING dominica as a lawless, scamming, bottomless pit of CORRUPTION
He will get pay if he wins his case. At least he should but first it has to be proven.
These thoughts are in your warped mind. I am certain the D/can authorities thought somehow he would try to be compensated.
Why should we allow foreigners to put DOMINICA in all this nonsense. Where are the so called men of God? how did they know if the music was of bad influence or devilish if they did not listen to it…That foolishness was not done in the name of God but of foolish pride…we should learn not to give our pearl to PIGS…shame on us, Sochi Lee…we are to quick to stretch out our hand for crumbs. I give the Government 100% wrong…those incidents were no accident…SHAME….
The so call men of god are praying. Praying for protection for the country, for blessing and for progress
No way keep your Tommy Lee he was arrested in the same Jamaica, and who have more ghetto than Jamaica take a walk in Kingston damm cheek..Jamaica cannot understand that they are not as big as they think. Empty vessels make the most noise oet them go and fight the Barbadian them flor Myre or what ever her name is. Jamaicans do not tolerate any body elses music they have a very derogatory way in which they refer to us in the Eastern Carribean Small Island or smally my God it is derogatory. Let them address issuesbin their oen countries leage Ian and our PM alone
I have remained neutral in politics and comment towards both sides.
I will state that if this incident has any effect on the next general elections when the back-lash comes from CARICOM and/or UN, UWP and DLP will be on a level playing field moving towards the UWP.
Thanks
Dreamer!!! dream on
well the chickens have come home to roost
old people say money talk and bull work well me bouy. Evil really over powering the world.If his song promoting violence what do you all expect. Tortola did not want him in there place either so whats the force. Is it because is Dominica that really meant no is no.
But he performed in Tortola just like how beres Hammond or benie man or any other Jamaican artiste would perform, so whats your point.
he did perform tortola and the pastor reason out with him thats what them so call pastors in d/ca didnt do, he still did his show torotla do ur research
You need to inform yourself before you write/speak. He performed in Tortola BVI. What is your point???
Cabral douglas is right…hope tommy lee come back soon…we want our show! Skerrit hav nothing to do wit that…all he doing is take d country money and leave young ppl stress. Let d show go on so we can free up our medz. Sparta, gaza, brimstone and fire! To di world
This is beginning to sound like a family feud.
Things to talk,there is more in the motar than the pestle,keep your ears opened and eyes focused.
I dunno, I really like Mr Behanzin but I dunno, i starting to question. Politics aside…you an Cabral , DOMINICANS going to attempt to sue DOMINICA so you can take X amount of MILLION dollars and give it to a JAMAICAN ‘artist’? Where that money going to come from? tax payers? Help me find the logic. Mr Cabral I’m willing to bet you KNEW from IAN than cabinet had denied him entry, so you still brought him down so you can make a scandal to “call for skerrit to step down”. Uncle demon didnt even care about being denied I bet you’re the ones who rilled them up. America and other countries (including Antigua) deny people entry left and right. I dare you to go America and get denied an say no you not going back and expect NOT to get strung up. I believe that whole uncle demon thing was indeed blown out of proportion but that’s the best thing we find to target? Pathetic
you’r one idiot you answering the same questions you asking… sort
Support u 100% but this government must go
Behanzin is not suing the Govt, Tommy Lee is. And Cabral is. They all have rights.
OMG…..this comment is so soo true
No airline will let you on without your visa to America or American country.
Yes take it to the UN They treat de man like a dog if it was a white man they would not treat him so because is a black man……I want #Sparta to sue….what happen to human rights???…the man only came for a show and u all treated him sooo bad….I’m proud of the ppl in marigot for wat they did #Free Sparat…..He Needs To Sue Sue Sue
I am a UWP supporter but sue sue sue, money coming from our pocket still, still wish the government win
Yes it put the young artist and people from dominica at risk in jamaica.people of jamaica will not take that lightly stupes.young people rise up rise up and vote against this uneducated gov change is a must. Lets vote skerite out of office!!!!
Uneducated? Lol the PM finish high school.
Boy this week there wasn’t a good week for Dominica at all. Embarrassment at the international level. On major worldwide media outlets.
I am interested in knowing who my fellow DNO commentors think we have to blame for such embarrassment.
I say is the Cabinet sub-committee who decided to ban Tommy Lee and the Olympic committee and whoever is in charge of that economic citizenship program.
I said that we’ve not seen the last of what happened to Tommie Lee. Don’t let the domino effect surprise you. The decision was ill advised and it will continue to keep us in the limelight for the wrong reasons.
Like the domino effect of the two gay men? Do you know they are more powerful than tommy lee
First they will silence the music that doesn’t suit them next they will burn the books they disagree with. The world has seen this before. Judge not lest ye be judged.
STUPESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
This is what Skerritt & the DLP are all about.
Embarrassment,
Human Rights Violations,
Breach of Law,
No Justice,
Electoral Fraud,
Oppression,
Unlawful Interference with the Judiciary
Corruption of the Judiciary,
DISCRIMINATION-
on basis of religion, musical persuasion, Nationality, and of course Political Persuasion
Dominicans afraid to sue skerritt for electoral fraud, and it took Tommy Lee to open our EYES and reveal our plight to the UN.
Yes I. Dominique Sa
That is what you and your kind would like to make the world believe but the truth will never hide.
I never knew metal could develop blood clots, cramps and muscle spams. He just Jamaican mad that “little Dominica” stood up to him. Get over yourself Sparta…you’ve been to jail before.
Mandela went to jail and became president.Patrick john went to jail and became dfa boss.so wats ur stupid point.dotish
The only dovish here is you! Just look at your punctuation.
claire dont forget he was just involved in dee lottery scam with other people thanks jah they can sayy watt day want now to god be the glory if a
This “thing” is getting ridiculous & out of hand.. i mean yes the treatment tommy lee got was inhumane but afterall you were asked to leave the country when you landed & you still stayed eh.. i dont think he will win this case
boss u have to understand, the reason why he could not fly back was the pilot could not get clearance to land allu doesnt read, they could at least put the man in a guest house and next day they could fly..they did not have to put the man in jail and strip search the man and all that crap i not a fan of the man but allu self doesnt read!!, from my stand point allu tax money that going and pay for the lawsuit
The pilot couldn’t get clearance to land, where? In Jamaica? Really? and how did they determine that with the plane sitting at MH airport. Performing artists are denied entry all over the world for one reason or the other. And TLS sound respect our right to do the same. Being a medical person myself, the test for diagnosing DVTs are a bit more complex and they had no way of knowing he had blood clots so soon.
before the a plane takes off they must get clearance from the arriving airport, Dominica should not have given clearance to Land if they knew he would have been denied entry. But their again air traffic control is not immigration.
This was handled incorrect and those one must worry about the many other affairs of the country that are being handled incorrectly.
Inhumane! you know that for a fact! Just asking?
taking a man who has committed no crime and placing him in a concrete, smelling cell with no bed is inhumane, it is about time dominica stepup to their game. airport detainees who are to be deported next day should be placed in a comfortable holding area with bed, toilet, bathroom and tv… its like dominica is the only caricom country that treat passengers in that way.
Read all the post about this topic then read on the jamaican news forum put the pieces together.
Rubbish, Rubbish, Rubbush. Crab, crabo or whatever your name might be that douglas man there stop talk nonsense. I hope dominicans also seeing what Jamicans calling them because they wanted to cut their neck for tommy lee sparta. Always want to cut their neck for somebody and the person will not cut their neck for them. He say who the #$%^ dominicans think they are and look she saying it ghetto. Dominicans always crying for respect, now you are being disrespected all you @#$ shut.
She said the prison that he slept in was ghetto… Isn’t a prison suppose to have a bunk bed, and a bathroom? They just put the man in a blank concrete room. lmfao
its not a prision its a detention cell… they sleep on the floor if they are not given cardboard..
there is where poor people children are keep when arrested or detained,
