Just as they partitioned Africa; Everybody, peoples and country who lately have “discovered” our little paradise; wants a piece of de pie. And mind you! They get the best part and the largest piece.
INDIA has a population of over billion. Dominica has a population of just over sixty thousand. Country with sixty thousand people and there is poverty. Without the people there is no country. Where does the blame lie’s? They can either be uneducated or lazy. Please help.
Too many ignorant jokes here. Just because Skerrit went there doesn’t mean that there’s something wrong with India. It’s the world’s largest democracy, and it’s a country that’s experiencing a fairly decent pace of economic growth. They’re not a development partner we want to alienate through foolish partisanship.
“It’s the world’s largest democracy” ??? And rape victims find no justice? Joker, you must be.

The Government of India have sent their envoy to look about their interests in Dominica. Like our secret MOU with China, we the Dominican public have no clue as to what was agreed upon. signed away or negotiated for our Honorary Doctor’s most esteemed Degree from Punjab, India. Maybe it’s some land or business venture that will once again take away from the people and benefit foreigners. All I know is that when it comes to the Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Dominica, you never know what’s going on behind the scenes. Statement of FACT!!!
