    As I said, this is the reality worldwide. Singling out Barbados as a horrible place to live is nonsensical unless you are willing to label the whole world a horrible place to live.

    We must put things in the right perspective.

    You can list your so-called attention grabbing achievements ad nauseum. I am comfortable with mine. I am not trying to be anything other than what I am – a grass roots, hands on worker. One on one. One by one. No fanfare.

    That’s me! And happy to be!

    Jealousy derived??? You claim to be a writer. You should have read my statement with greater understanding.

    Trust you to turn a positive into a negative!

    Cuhdear Bajan’s tales INSPIRED ME to do what I had long wanted to do. I have already thanked her and she was glad to be of service.

    I have made my garden beautiful and productive and located it in clear view of my neighbours to make others as “jealous” as I was. So far, so good!

    It wukking!

    I have purchased numerous seeds that I offer to hatch for anyone who expresses that “jealousy”.

    You too love a low blow! But you have missed your mark!

    Contrary to what you think, my years on BU have not been wasted. All the crazy insults have thickened my skin to the point where I have ascended to a place uninhabited by the likes of you.

    Thank you for your service, O Great Pulverizer!

    Fortunately, constant use has caused your spearhead to lose its poison and its sharpness!

    P.S. When I asked you to post about Africa I was trying to distract you from your daily diatribe. You did post some good stuff. Unfortunately, it did not last! You are addicted to your diatribe and have convinced yourself of its success.

    🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Now, you may have the last word! I grow bored with your impotence.

    Now that the cat fighting has abated 5 minutes ago and there is a calm after the storm in a tea cup and we can now get back to matter in hand which is flutes + visions with versions excursions ….

    .. here is your daily scratch dosage prescription as recommended by the love doctor for your musical injection to nice up the lawn and rock and come on with a disco bum called it is so many times that you are leaving so many time that you are gone, but note that there is a Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious extraordinarily big difference between going to Africa and talking about going to Africa, as they would say on the Underground Train Station in London Town “Mind the Gap”

    Caricom and Africa

    THE HEADS SUMMIT between CARICOM and African Union states on September 7, marked a significant milestone in the history of these two African-majority regions of our globe.
    Occurring over 50 years after the first moments of formal independence in the English-Caribbean in 1962, it is perhaps embarrassing that such a meeting between these two historically and culturally connected regions was so late in coming.
    It speaks to the deeply ingrained nature of neo-colonial dependency and post-colonial insecurity that it took 50 years to shift our development gaze away from Europe and, finally place it in the direction of our ancestral home, across the Atlantic, into the continent of Africa.
    Better late
    On the positive side, however, the fact of the summit itself, suggests that it is an idea whose time has finally come. Better late than never.
    It suggests that the African and CARICOM regions have finally matured away from Westerncentricity, have developed selfconfidence in their own collective capacity and have now arrived independently at the realisation that their future development prospects can be further advanced by building upon their historic connections rather than by ignoring or underestimating them.
    Carried live, online, it was gratifying to observe African and Caribbean leaders setting collective goals for themselves, without the mediating presence of old and new colonial powers.
    It was a fulfilment of a dream of the earliest Pan-Africanists, such as Henry Sylvester Williams, who in the early 1900s, had anticipated a world in which global Africans would recognise their common humanity and place in the world and would work jointly to overcome common challenges.
    Specific purpose
    This dream was further anticipated in the famous 1945 Manchester Pan-African conference, in which activists like George Padmore and W.E.B Dubois had recognised the possibility of eventual independence and had organised the conference with the specific purpose of preparing for that eventuality.
    So today, in 2021, with African and Caribbean states now sitting on over 60 years of formal independence, and with the full recognition that a world independent of the West is not only possible but necessary, (and perhaps moved by the unspoken acceptance of an ongoing decline of the West) these African majority states agreed to meet to fashion a common agenda. And what a progressive agenda it was. Among the measures mooted, proposed and left for further discussion included: the holding of the AU-CARICOM Summit annually; the need for dedicated direct airline connections between Africa and the Caribbean; the need for continued coordinated responses to COVID-19 particularly with respect to vaccine distribution and production; the refocusing of the question of reparations for slavery; and even the abolition of visa requirements for travel between Africa and the Caribbean.
    As David Comissiong aptly puts it, the CARICOM-AU summit offered the possibility for an “internal agenda of reparative restructuring of our own relationships with each other”.
