Jamaican Leadership or Lack Thereof

‘What a ‘heap’ a mix up ina wi nice, nice likkle Jamaica. Fi some weh soo pretty and God send. Why we one have so much problem. Our economy is taking a royal licking with most of our earning power gone, bauxite, sugar and banana. Not sure what is happening with the IMF talks and it doesn’t look like the government knows either. Every minute it postponed. Yesterday we hear that ‘dem’ will have to clean up the public sector as the wage bill is too high. You know wha dat mean, nuff, nuff people a go loose dem wok. Not to mention that nuff nuff done loose theirs already. The crime rate a spiral more and more every day. The United States a pressure wi fi extradite one man. Again it no look like the government knows wha dem a do. In fact the government no seems to realize sey dem ina power over 2 years now cause every thing wey go wrong a di last government fault. And as if dat not enough, we have threats being made on the media houses fi chat what a gwann.’

'Rite now di only shining star is our lighting Usain Bolt. Working hard in his new role as ambassador at large for Jamaica, this week Mexico and next week Monaco. But we can’t afford for him to get the people excited about coming to Jamaica and then mess up things when dem get here. As the song writer says “there is nothing wrong with the world (Jamaica), just (a few of) the people who’s in it. Wake up Mr. Prime Minister, where is all your beautiful plans, weh di jobs, jobs and more jobs, weh di crime fighting plan. You are there because you promised you could fix things. We still a wait for even the first move.'

Nuff Love

Bruk Pocket Jamaican

"Recently, this Jamaican won the 10 million special lottery for a dollar. As soon as the office of the Lottery Corporation was open on the following day, he was there to collect his winnings.

Graciously, he presented his winning ticket to the clerk and in his best English uttered his request "Me cum fi collect the 10 millian dallars, si me ticket ya".

After reviewing and checking the ticket with his manager, the clerk returned and requested on how he would like his payments. The Jamaican replied "Mi wan all a de moni now". "Unfortunately, Sir" the nervous clerk responded, "The procedures are that we can only give you one million now and the balance equally over the next 20 years".

Furious and agitated, the Jamaican asked for the manager, who re-iterated "Sir, my assistant is correct, it is the regulation of the corporation that we initially pay you one million dollars now with the balance paid to you equally over the next 20 years".

Outraged, the Jamaican slammed his hand on the desk and shouted in anger, "Oonu tek me fi idiat, me wan all a de moni now or oonu gi me bak me rass dallar!!"
