Mia Goes To Ghana

 

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.

    The vision of forward to Afrika is not really for the current bajans to realise, but for their grandchildren to follow through with the next level of consciousness

    Here is an extract from a paper I found on the net regarding Ligon on Christianising slaves.

    Ligon was in Barbados just before Quakers came so this is a Puritan take on Christianising slaves.

    “Ligon wrote that one particular slave was curious about his compass and wanted to understand how it worked. He entreated Ligon to convert him to Christianity because ‘he thought to be a Christian was to be endued with all those knowledges he wanted’.

    Soon afterward, Ligon approached the slave’s master and pleaded the slave’s case. In response, Ligon was told that ‘the people of that Iland were governed by the Lawes of England, and by those Lawes, we could not make a Christian a Slave’. Realising that the slave owner had misunderstood his intention, Ligon pointed out that his ‘request was far different from that,’ and that he ‘desired him to make a Slave a Christian’, not a Christian a slave.

    The slave owner, at last comprehending the issue at hand, responded that being once a Christian, he could no more account him a Slave, and so lose the hold they had of them as Slaves, by making them Christians; and by that means should open such a gap, as all the Planters in the Iland would curse him.

    555…you are right, only few in this generation would be connected enough spiritually to make that journey, it is really for future generations of African descended Bajans, there is still too much of a disconnect for the older folks to even understand their roles, most will have to sit it out and their descendants will do what is necessary…..it is the 3rd generation, the 4th will have to journey.

    “@ WURA

    This is the exact point that progressive thinkers are making. Allow ordinary citizens to cultivate marijuana and decriminalize the plant. This medical marijuana bill is just another way to make money for the big boys and to ensure that the status quo benefits.”

    ah don’t think the sell out negros in the parliamnet are understanding the memo…but NOT THIS TIME…she can take her stink little crooked, tiefing minorities and send them to north america or europe to look for real work and FORCE THEM TO stop LEACHING OFF GENERATIONS OF BLACK BAJANS….they are parasites who now need to be put down once and for all.

    Not true.

    I can easily find the grave of my grandma who died in 1957. I have shown it to my children and asked them to bury me there too. I loved my gran-gran and she loved me too, so we haven’t neglected her burial spot. Maybe I am Ghanaian too.

    European by definition is mixed, even without the African thrown in!!

    … and of course I know you must be able to comprehend that African also involves “mixed ancestries”.

    But then, you knew that, didn’t you?

    I count about 8 different ancestries in me.

    Scottish
    Irish
    African
    Jewish
    Spanish
    Portuguese
    English
    Amerindian (haven’t got my father’s genealogy done as yet but he is out of South America)

    The more diverse the genealogy I reckon the better the product.

    Pretty happy with my mixture.

    To David the Blogmaster: I drop this post here simply because there is a minor nexus wid moving from one country to another (well and death too) …otherwise it ain’t got one pang to do did MAM n Ghana really.

    I was most bemused to read this headline on the legal issues site (lawfareblog) today: ‘Trinidad’s Islamic State Problem’.

    Of course you have created blogs on this topic previously so the issue is well known here but the article refreshes the problem facing Dr. Rowley and his fellow Trinbagonians and awakens us to some pressing realities.

    According to the essayist “in 2017, more than 240 Trini nationals had migrated to the so-called caliphate in Syria and Iraq. This makes Trinidad and Tobago (T&T), a small twin-island republic in the Caribbean, one of the world’s biggest recruiting grounds, per capita, of the Islamic State.”

    He continued: ” Now, more than six months after the fall of the territorial caliphate, the country faces the mother of all returnee problems: what to do about the scores of its nationals who are currently in detention in Syria and Iraq.”

    What to do indeed? … Europe has a returnee problem and the US too…but significantly less so. In fact just recently a US Judge ruled that a young mother who was born in US, had a US passport and lived her entire life (save these few years in Syria) was NOT a valid US citizen and DENIED her and her new baby the right to return to US shores. (Interesting back story to that) … But that’s not an option for TnT!

    Based on comments in one of your blogs in 2017 one wonders if the Trini authorities will now collaborate with Pres Erdoğan and ask him a favor of identifying the TT nationals in captivity and ensuring that they remain permanently rooted in Syria soil…. just like the French special forces were accused of doing for French ISIS recruits back then: given them eternal rest in their ‘caliphate’.

    What are we going to do with these radicalized, hardened fighters in our lil 2×4 jurisdictions.

    Maybe Ghana can help!

    Mugabe AS USUAL, LIKE MINISTER RONALD JONES, has the hair brained idea bout bringing 1 million Ghanaians to out little rock Bim.

    De ole man, like certain of the few vocal people in her Sanctum Sanctorum going ask her dis question

    What does she see when she reads this excerpt from an article by Red Cross.

    “…In East Africa, at least 50 albinos (people with a rare genetic disorder that leaves the skin, hair and eyes without pigment) were murdered for their body parts, according to the Red Cross.

    An albino’s arms, fingers, genitals, ears, and blood are highly prized on the black market, believed to contain magical powers and are used in witchcraft.

    In a continent of dark-skinned Africans, albinos are often the subject of fear, hatred, and ridicule. The practice of using body parts for magical ritual or benefit is called muti…”

    Dat only mean dat yellah man, a d nuff more albinoes we know in Barbados gine mysteriously disappear!

    But, I would ask Mugabe this, you really think through this 1 million plus population ting? Or you ass just want to be Prime Minister so bad dat you ent give a FVUCK?

    Such attacks are particularly brutal, with knives and machetes used to cut and hack off limbs, breasts and other body parts from their screaming victims — including children.

    de ole man will advise you as follows in this matter of falsification of the Slave Bones by using this internet excerpt EUPHEMISM FOR CIT AND PASTE

    “Artifacts are not the ends of analysis, they are the means. Context is the critical juncture between artifacts and history, and once we remove or ignore the context through looting or indifference, there is little value to any of the archaeological record…”

    Mugabe Amin Mottley has tricked you royally.

    she has tricked you and 28.8 million other Ghanaians have now placed the bones of a black belly sheep, hurriedly cremated at a secret location to eradicate any possibility of examination by your people, among the sacred remains of our ancestral peoples.

    The cut and paste continues

    “…A key concept in historic artifact identification is that when in doubt, ask a question…”

    de ole man has a question for you about the historical artifact VERIFICATION of these bones President Akufo Addo

    you mean that in a country where more than 250 languages and dialects are spoken, and where English is your country’s official language and predominates government and business affairs, you mean that not one of your 28.8 million people thought to ask a question OR TO EXAMINE THE REMAINS OF THIS BLACK BELLY SHEEP?

    I have been fighting Emera for a few years now. Each time the electricity went off even in the wee hours I would call and ask for a reason. The electricity was going off several times a day. I questioned the reason given once and their representative and I came to high words. I did not bother with them anymore. I called the Fair Trading Commission. The gentlemen who answered told me he had been working there for three months and NOBODY ELSE HAD CALLED TO COMPLAIN. He wondered if the problem was not on my premises. I told him it was not and the proof was the noise of my next door neighbour’s generator. He told me it could be as simple as a failure to do regular maintenance at the substations, He advised me to make a note of each outage which I had already started to do. He made a call to EMERA (let’s not allow them to hide as BL & P) and he included my concern in the standards which he was at the time formulating. These standards were published soon after. My problem was fixed for a few years. But now the problem is island wide.

    I must say that Emera is treating us, as I told them, like monkeys in trees, because I know they wouldn’t dream of providing such shoddy service in Canada.

    But were we not behaving like frightened monkeys? NOBODY ELSE CALLED TO COMPLAIN!

    It has taken Bajans too long to join me in protest against this ridiculous monopoly that does not seem to give a damn about their substandard service and how it affects us. Their flippant apology and suggestion that we should expect it to happen again soon showed a lack of seriousness and gross disrespect.

    And where is the voice of the people elected to represent us? The ones talking about increasing productivity?

    Bajans must now contend with no garbage pick up, no buses, no water, no telephone service (due to fibre optic technology and my Digicel cell phone had no service) due to no electricity,

    If the social services provided by the taxpayers are lacking in funds, WE KNOW this is not true of the private providers. How long will the government allow them to treat us this way?

    Flow should have given us free batteries in the switch over to fibre optic technology. And Emera should provide us with a steady flow of electricity.

    de ole man is constantly remarking about what amounts to this

    “If a tree falls in the woods AND THERE IS NOYONE THERE TO HEAR IT, DOES THE TREE MAKE A NOISE?

    Bajans are a docile people.

    In fact when I come and say that I am BLOGGING to sheeple and people a few people here get offended by my remarks but THIS YOUR POST, confirms all my comments about the abundance of sheeple and the paucity of people!

    Then you continue

    “…It has taken Bajans too long to join me in protest against this ridiculous monopoly that does not seem to give a damn about their substandard service and how it affects us…”

    Bajans for the most part are cattle who can be prodded in whatever direction these oppressors like!

    You end by saying

    “…Their flippant apology and suggestion that we should expect it to happen again soon showed a lack of seriousness and gross disrespect…”

    All this righteous indignation YET NOT ONE ** ONLINE PETITION where all the bajans you refer to who are being disrespected voice their complaints.

    And where the incompetent Fear Trading Commission can see the complaints of other bajans like you.

    The thing about this Donna is that wunna bajans is real mouf giants.

    All wunna good at is talking AND SUFFERING IN SILENCE AS WUNNA GETS BULL AND RAPED be that by Mark Maloney’s or COW Williams or Miss Ram (who getting bull now) or by Fumbles Stuart, or Mugabe Mottley, or Teets Marshall, or Hats Pain or Detective 2143 Kyan Mullin of the Royal Baygon Police Force

    De ole man will use text copied from a credible Museum which deals in Historical bodies and their Reinterment

    Here are their considerations INTERSPERSED WITH DE OLE MAN’S QUERIES AS AN EXPERT ON DESE TINGS heheheheh

    1.Are there human remains in your organisation’s custody, in store, or elsewhere, that you don’t know anything about?

    DID YOU COLLECT ALL DE DUPPY? WHICH IN THIS CASE IS A BLACK BELLY SHEEP

    2.Is there documentation about these remains? Has it been published?

    WERE THERE WITNESSES TO THE DESECRATION OF THE GRAVE SITE? OR DID THE BLACK BELLY SHHEP PUT UP MUCH OF A STRUGGLE?

    3.Were they excavated before good records became standard practice?

    WHO ELSE KNOWS ABOUT THIS ROBBERY AND MASQUERADE? HAVE THEY BEEN SWORN TO SECRECY? ARE THEY NOW AN UNWILLING OCCUPANT OF THE DESECRATED GRAVE?

    4.Is there any record of the remains being used within your organisation or elsewhere, e.g. for scientific research, publication, display, education, community events or other purposes?

    Where is the regulator?

    @Mariposa

    You are right about the president. She is far more intelligent than Stuart and has a better political brain, and that is the problem. Her neglect of policy is not incompetence, like Stuart’s, but a perception of Barbados, its people and her place in it.
    It is about entitlement, arrogance and over-confidence, the kernels of undemocratic rule. It will end in tears.

    But listen to this no mentioned made here on BU
    Remember hearing the govt boasting about buying cheap oil.from Jamaica
    The minister went on to say that the cheap oil would have a decrease in charges for barbadian households
    When Minister spoke those words a thought came to mind of asking whether the minister knew the difference between lard oil and crude oil
    Well my suspicion came true of what i thought about the minister’s verbal diarrhea when a spokesperson for light and power said that the Jamaican company from which they purchased the oil had sold them contaminated oil
    The old folks always said never give a monkey a gun to handle
    That saying fits like hand in glove on this govt and all their ministers
    A govt who for all intent and purpose has become a barrell of laughter leaving the country with empty promises and loud noises

    Makes for wonder as to if Mia took into consideration before removing the bones that the grave might have contained close family members
    Mia in eighteen months has exposed the kind of self serving !egotistical !egomaniacal self absorbed person she is
    But bajans were warned by those who knew her and were closely associated with her
    Her latest mission of the past two days has sent duppy dust flying all over the place
    This problem would be hard for the country to solve because the gods of the underworld are angry
    Bajans be prepared for four more years of catching hell
