As part of the Year of Return and the visit of H.E, the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to Barbados in June this year, the Prime Minister of Barbados, H.E. Mia Mottley, arrives in Ghana today for a 3-day visit.

The visit also forms part of the bilateral discussions started during the President’s visit to Barbados.

She will be in Assin Manso where a Durbar of Chiefs will be held in her honour at the forecourt of the Assin Manso Ancestral River Site.

Remains of an unknown enslaved African from Barbados brought along with the Prime Minister will be buried at the site.

This will bring to three, the number of African ancestral remains buried at the Assin Manso slave river site.

Prime Minister Mottley will also visit the Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum and participate in the Damba Festival in Yendi over the weekend. Her delegation includes Foreign Affairs, protocol, and business leaders.

According to the Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Hon. Barbara Oteng Gyasi, Ghana’s tourism sector seeks to deepen its interest in the Carribean with Barbados as a key gateway.

The Coordinator of the Year of Return and CEO of the Ghana Tourism Authority, Akwasi Agyeman, says the visit highlights the importance of the Year of Return in the Global African discussion.

    @ Mr Hal Austin

    Hal, earlier you had said and I quote

    “…What we need s a cultural policy, not a manufactured one such as Crop Over, but a recognition of our cultural past, especially in a fast-changing world in which all cultures are now American…”

    Few of our negotiations brothers and sisters understand what “recognition of our cultural past means”

    Soon Mugabe Mottley is going to launch another manufactured part of this Slave History past but IT TOO WILL BE SHOWN TO BE STOLEN FROM ***

    The key thing that scum like Mugabe CANNOT, AND WILL NEVER, UNDERSTAND IS THAT, YOU CANNOT STEAL A CONCEPT AND THEN SEEK TO CREATE A VIABLE SACRED IMAGE THAT WOULK BE CONSISTENT WITH THE ETHICS AND MORALS FOR AN OUTREACH TO HONOUR AND PROMOTE OUR BLACK IDENTITY!

    Let me brek it down for you Hal

    What if Mary and Joseph HAD STOLEN JESUS THE CHRIST?

    Upon what principle would the Church be built IF THIS CENTRAL PILLAR HAD 2 BABY KIDNAPPERS?

    The simplicity of that issue is lost on Mugabe who has founded her African Outreach to Ghana ON LIES and the irreverent manufacture of the bones of a Black Belly Sheep!

    De ole man says black belly sheep CAN YOU GAINSAY THIS ASSERTION?

    Not a fellow can Hal, and why not? Because Mugabe done it all in the dead of night and not a bajan knew bout it till we see de video!

    Are you starting to understand my point here?

    The memories of slaves who suffered at the hands of wicked slave owners with HAVE BEEN BASTARDIZED BY THE DESECRATION OF THEIR GRAVES BY Mugabe

    And for what reason Hal?

    Mugabe has no badword records to link these bones to Ghana IT COULD AS WELL BE THE BONES OF A BLACK BELLY SHEEP!

    She has started this matter by embarrassing our nation and disturbing the rest of interred slaves to convey a lie.

    IT WAS NOT BEGUN RIGHT AND IT WILL END WRONG!!!

    “There is only one company permitted to import oil into the country”

    decades of governemnt collusion/enabling greedy companies to be a monopoly and suck up everything on the island, giving no one else a chance to do business has finally returned to bite BLP/DLP government in the ass…good..

    neither government liked fairplay, neither government ever wanted to see their own people with oil companies, banks, stores, nothing, trapping the people into financial dependency so they can collect their bribes while sitting in parliament or in their law offices…

    ..ya stagnaed your own people for decades…now take that…it’s called KARMA…you running blights.

    For 99% of the mostly black population of Barbados the Bach to Africa ting does not even register.

    And of those de ole man would say this Ghana activity is an effing joke.

    Now here is why I know it’s a rass**le joke.

    Tell me whose words dese is

    “…the Slavery Abolition Act (1833) – which required the payment of £20 million to the slave owners in compensation for loss of ‘property’, but which required that the slaves themselves serve out an unpaid, six-year apprenticeship (as further defrayment of their owners’ losses) – was ‘one of the most racist pieces of legislation ever formulated in the British parliament’.

    Not only were the slaves left homeless and uncompensated for their suffering, but they were forced – in effect – to purchase their own freedom from a group (and within a wider society) that they had helped make rich….”

    Now answer up now, no slaggers

    Sir Hilary Beckles!!!

    One would think that, WITH AN OUTREACH OF THIS DEPTH AND IMPORT, that the foremost authority on Black Reparations WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAH, IN RH GHANA, and would have commented of these falsified black belly sheep bones

    The 100 or so Ghana nurses recruited to come to Barbados next Jan. will be in for a rude awakening when they see the overburdening working conditions at the QEH
    Time and time again this govt has proven that they policies are akin to throwing new wine in old bottles
    The socio-economic conditions of barbados is in dire need of repair
    Like the BL&p and the BWA and the Sewer system which have all failed
    Govt still insist on blowing smoke in the people faces under a foolish disguise of “good governance”
    Another four years of this repetitive nonsense driven by untimely measures and gadawful policies barbadians can expect more poverty more crime and more suffering

    Salary of nurses in Ghana: Nurse rankings, salaries, and allowances by Zindzy Gracia In the past, nursing was a lucrative career but currently, being a nurse in Ghana has become a challenge. Over the past years, nursing have been striking because of poor pay and the government has a banned nurses from seeking job opportunities abroad. With this kind of attention, we cannot help but wonder, what is the salary of nurses in Ghana? Read more: https://yen.com.gh/108585-salary-nurses-ghana-nurse-rankings-salaries-allowances-2019.html

    David your rebuttal speaks more to your incessant behaviour for govt
    Maybe before u open your mouth and schooled me about partisan u should look at yourself first
    The fact remains whether or not govt tried to dismiss the fuel as contaminated BNOCL s stated that they bought cheaper fuel did not match the required grade for BL&P generators and went further in their utterances to say that the generators were intolerant
    and not compatible for the fuel
    Now i asked u who gave permission for BNOCL to purchase the low grade fuel not graded specifically for the use in the generators
    Who signed the agreement for the purchase of fuel from Jamaica

    You have twice been summoned from the bowels of the hell you live in, sucking on the bowels of Mugabe

    And you come as per your instructions, loyal poocklickers that you are.

    Interestingly, I have twice submitted an answer to you here to your colleague the Honourable Blogmaster who has REFUSED TO PUBLISH IT.

    Mostly because “it” my answer WILL RESULT IN THE 18 SEATS and he has his instructions NOT TO ENABLE THAT?

    Notice how the Barbados Underground blog has been dumbed down to inconsequential issues like 3 items about water, 5 items bout light and electricity 7 items bout buses, 14 new religious articles OF WHICH ONLY THE DR. GP ARTICLE HAS ANY VALUE and 13 are for Iso TALIBAN

    Back to the substantive topic though

    Again “let me go north, to come south”

    I am an avowed black consciousness denizen who will live and die with certain beliefs foremost among which lies in the Castle of my Skin.

    “…The developments in New York City (Harrington 1993), however, have demonstrated that contract archaeologists are required to deal with such remains, and that a solid understanding of the historical and anthropological aspects of African-
    American mortuary practices is necessary before interpreting them.

    Funerals in plantation slavery contexts in particular appear to have afforded African Americans an opportunity to develop African-American cultural practices in the New World based at least partially
    on African practices (Genovese 1972: 194-202; Thornton 1992:228).

    Several archaeological excavations of African-American burials have now been carried out (Thomas et al. 1977; Parrington and Wideman 1986; Owsley et al. 1987), although large New World cemeteries from before emancipation are restricted to Handler and Lange’s (1978) BARBADOS sample and the recent New York City excavations (Harrington 1993)…”

    Archaeological excavations IN BARBADOS have always been carried out in secrecy.

    Few bajans, other dan de high society people, are informed about this element of research PRIMARILY BECAUSE archaeological digs will more than likely find a slave THAN AN ARAWAK!

    It would therefore seem obvious that (a) given the percentage of the population that is black (b) given the fact that, barring the white men Rawdon Adams and Jerome Walcott, that it would be prudent that all excavations be accorded a ceremonial process ELSE ONE RISKS THEM BEING CALLED DESECRATIONS!

    As happens in the first world @ today

    This RH IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE.

    The act of digging up the remains and, QUIETLY, UNDER THE COVER OF NIGHT, TRANSPORTING THEM TO GHANA, under the guise of “closing the circle” is DESECRATION!

    AND DE OLE MAN PUTS IT TO YOU DAT GHANA IS COMPLICIT IN THIS FRAUD BY BARBADOS, if it does not demand that ANY BONES BEING SENT BACK TO AFRICA MUST

    (1)Be accorded rites of Reinternment
    (2)MUST BE PUBLICIZED IN THE PLACE OF DOMICILE OF THE SLAVE’S GRAVE
    (3)MUST BE ACCORDED forensic verification so that there are no repeats of this black belly sheep fiasco

    This way ALL SUCH ACTS OF RETURN GIVE RESPECT TO OUR BLACK ENSLAVEMENT.

    And if Mugabe Mottley and her poochlickers CANT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS WRITTEN HERE well wunna clearly understand what de ole man is saying about her non existent morals

    I often have to marvel at the way white people in civilised countries move with respect to (1) customs (2) first people lands and (3) original peoples

    De ole man has said that Mugabe Mottley desecrated the graves of the slaves that she played she was carrying back to Ghana!

    Yes, the bones of what people in the know call the Bones of the Black Belly Sheep!

    De ole Man has did had to fight the Mugabe poochlicker regime here as they continued to support her desecration.

    But, Here an article which shows how white people treat bodies of their people on native lands AND WHY DE OLE MAN SAYS DAT MUGABE IS A DESECRATOR.

    “…Maori place ceremonial ban on volcano

    Local Maori groups have placed a rahui over the waters around the volcano and the coastal stretch on the Bay of Plenty.

    It is a traditional prohibition restricting access to an area. White Island, called Whakaari by the Maori, holds spiritual significance for the local Ngati Awa tribe.

    The rahui was placed on Tuesday morning and will be lifted only once the missing bodies are recovered.

    An expert from the Ngati Awa will accompany authorities in the recovery mission.

    “Ngati Awa are front and centre of this operation so for the uplifting of the deceased, once that decision is made, Ngati Awa will be going across to Whakaari/White Island,” deputy commissioner Wally Haumaha told RNZ.

    Rahui are often placed on areas after deaths or accidents occur or to protect natural resources in a specific area.

    They are not legally binding but are commonly respected by New Zealanders…

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-50753453

    It is interesting that, to the Maori, there is a respect AND SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE accorded this place of death that White people respect but, we black bajans DO NOT GIVE ONE FVUCK ABOUT!!!

    Mugabe Amin Mottley IS A DESECRATOR OF GRAVES AND GRAVESITES OF FALLEN SLAVES and such an act WILL CONTINUE TO BRING MAJOR HARDSHIPS ON BARBADOS

    While our churches, of whom Joseph Atherley is a Reverend, REMAIN DUMB, LIKE SHEEP!

    @David,

    Have they been integrated into the QEH? There was suppose to have been a second wave of recruitment.

    I trust you recall that both leaders made a commitment to establish a closer rapport between the two countries. This relationship was consummated with Ghana’s president offer and Mia’s acceptance of Ghanaians registered nurses.

    David, I’m struggling to understand why my statement has upset you.

    Covid 19 must have delayed original plans. A few weeks ago the blogmaster observed the nurses disembarking from a TB bus on Martindales Road. Hopefully more informed commenters will be minded to chime in.

    Not upset at all.
