How Jamaicans Got Robbed Of their Resources and Identity

 Most Jamaicans are some of the most friendliest, happiest people on the planet who are just passionate about life and are bursting with energy and good vibes! This type of energy is so infectious that once foreigners step foot on the island and interact with the people they are mesmerized and don't want to leave! And I am not saying this because I am a Jamaican,  this is our natural nature. We are a free spirited people that just love life and want to share it with everyone we meet.  When I meet other Caribbean nationals and  people from African countries like Ghana and Nigeria they exude this same positive vibe which is where we Jamaicans some of us have our ancestors from these African countries.  Some foreign women immediately fall under the spell of the Jamaican man and never go back home. Now imagine when you take away the source of income of these happy, friendly, energetic people. You inform them that they can no longer use the beaches to go fishing in order to feed their families. What you create are angry, hungry, desperate people who will fight to feed their hungry kids BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Some may resort to stealing, scamming even killing. Suddenly, the gorgeous people described earlier are now referred to as criminals and the crime rates start to increase. Montego Bay used to be called " The Friendly City". Now it's known as "Scamtego Bay". Suddenly these people are described as hogs and goats. But who forced them to be this way? And who is spreading the narrative about who these people are? This is why it is important to know yourself. Because if you know yourself, then when someone is describing you as hog and goat, you immediately REJECT that narrative! Don't let people come to your own country and project their fears and insecurities on you. I have a theory and my theory is rather in order to reduce crime in Jamaica,  the government needs to put in place laws that mandate that foreign  companies that are coming to Jamaica to " invest" must share the resources and profits with the locals. Greedily shutting off people and stealing their main source of feeding their families will cause them to behave like animals when they see tourists. The harassment,  the overwhelming pressure on the foreigners to buy something,  the crab in barrel mentality, those are all behaviors created by the type of environment in which they are forced to live. Jamaicans should love themselves enough to stop accepting mediocrity and demand what's rightfully theirs.

New Leadership Required For Jamaica's Government

 Anytime you have a set of leaders that are always preaching scarcity and lack, you know it is time for them to GO!!! God promised that he will always provide for his children. God will always provide for the people of Jamaica because Jamaica is a God fearing nation. People are not stupid. With the advent of social media people can see that the leaders of the Jamaican government are LYING to them. There is no money to pay doctors and nurses, no money to pay teachers, no money to pay civil servants, no money to fix and build new hospitals, schools and clinics. LIES, LIES, ALL LIES!!! There is however luxury 5 star hotels charging $USD600 or more per night, there were 4.3 million tourists who visited Jamaica last year, that is more than the population of 2.8 million. Many affluent Jamaicans drive the latest luxury cars, live in mansions, take trips to the most luxurious destinations and live a better quality of life than even many people in so called first world countries. Yet there is no money to pay doctors, nurses, teachers and other civil servants. This blatant mismanagement of Jamaica's financial resources must stop. The leaders with the tunnel vision preaching scarcity and lack to poor people have got to GO!!! In the year 2025, when there are so many opportunities for Jamaican citizens to earn income from the global community using modern ways like e-commerce, telemedicine, stocks and investments, FOREX trading remote jobs, there is no excuse for the government to develop programs to train people to adjust to the world in which we now live. They have to start by getting rid of the old colonial British system which has been in place for 400 years which was established to supress black Jamaicans. Also get rid of all the people who cling to that system of government and refuse to embrace fresh young talented leaders with the ideas and knowledge for Jamaicans to survive in 2024. Jamaica being the largest English-speaking island in the Caribbean strategically located on the route for international travel among all the major continents will always be a major destination. Jamaica is also the largest ENGLISH SPEAKING island in the Caribbean that has major international airports and shipping ports to facilitate international trade. People flock to Jamaica's shores for relaxation and rejuvenation so to blatantly LIE to people that there are no funds to give the locals basic necessities, healthcare and education is just WRONG. Where are all the young educated Jamaicans? The time to help your country is NOW. Time to step up and lead. Because your communities deserve more.
