    St Joseph has some very important persons that are playing a huge role in the Skerrit administration, to make DA a better place to live, work and enjoy life. I expect them to play an import role in this years carnival activity in St. Joseph. For example: Vince-UN ambassador, The Police Commissioner, originally from St. Joseph, but raised in Viellecase, Pelham PRO of the police, The PM’s friend /Attorney- Easydoor and many more good friends. Wouldn’t it be a blast in St. Joe if some of them would decide to sing calypso during the St. Joseph activities and see them in calypso names and dressed in special gungs like: The Mighty convincer-UN, Mighty, Carby- investigator, Mighty Pello-reporter,Mighty Doorman-legal advisor, Mighty Seko-fireman, Mighty Granto- fire truck driver, Mighty Darroux -Parliamentarian and others? I really wonder who would win. To have a good competition you have to use independent and fair judges so I suggest the following: Tony, GON Mano, Savarin. What about…

      And your point is????? What a vague paragraph. Total waste and you make no sense. Just talking about the popularity of this and that person and that’s totally irrelevant. You should change your name to CRAB MENTALITY instead. Stop being senseless. Punk.

      what you say is true but the young man is leading his community, hopefully to become a role modle to lead the youth of st. joseph away from the previous aimless route they were destined to follow thanks to ppl like ma joe and the village witches. hey let the young man lead his community, church not going to get you to heaven your actions and your heart of truth, love and charity thats what jesus is looking for. many of the so called church goers are going to be shocked when the trump sound. stay hypocrite.

      Grand bay I have no idea who you are but this is so true. I grew up with him in the Seventh Day Adventist church so I can attest that your words are spot on. This is a good boy gone bad. Politics has now replaced his salvation. Sin city on the loose. Then to make matters worse, his entire family (except for me) supports him and his backsliding adventure. He needs to get re-baptized and get back to serving the almighty and partake of our holy communion instead of partaking of the things of this world. Carnival is momentary, but the kingdom of god is forever. Let all DNO readers say Amen!!!!

    Everybody wants to have their little piece of carnival here and there all over the country. Never see this no where else but Dominica. No wonder Dominica’s is so poor and fragmented.
