Mon, 20 Apr 2026 08:15:00 -0400

Cousin Leroy reading the news from his apartment in the Bronx, where everything Jamaica is doing sounds, frankly, amazing — the recovery is going great, the casinos are happening, the Prime Minister flew to New York, and there's a $6.7 billion package coming, which Leroy is fairly sure is going to him personally.

Speedeet & Wilar: The Sunday the Cricket Ball Went Over the Wall

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 12:00:00 -0400

It was a Sunday morning in Bel Air, and the sun was already hot by the time Speedeet finished his porridge.

“Ma, can I go play cricket with Wilar?” he asked, already halfway to the door.

“You had your breakfast? You wash your plate?”

“Yes, Ma.”

“Go. But come back by twelve for church lunch.”

Speedeet was out the door before the screen could slam. Wilar was waiting on the corner by the coconut tree with his cricket bat — the good one, the Mongoose bat his uncle brought from England — and a brand-new tennis ball that he had been saving since Christmas.

Auntie Cheryl: The New Nurse Rules Coming! And a Lovely Day in Chaguanas!

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 11:30:00 -0400

Blessings and morning greetings to all my Chaguanas family and friends! Auntie Cheryl writing to you from my kitchen this Sunday morning, the breeze coming in through the louvre, the pot of sorrel on the stove, and the radio playing that new gospel from Pastor Winston that everybody have been sharing on the WhatsApp.

What a blessed Sunday! Let me tell you what is on my mind from the papers today.

Cousin Leroy: Jamaica Pension Ting, Howard Lau Waste Bin Issue, and Why I Can't Even Believe What Is Going On Down There

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 11:30:00 -0400

Greetings from the Bronx. Cousin Leroy here. I have to tell you, I was on the phone with Cousin Pearl this morning — she still in Kingston, she don’t come to America, she say America too cold — and she read me the Gleaner front page, and I am sitting here in my apartment on 233rd Street and I cannot believe what I am hearing.

The pension ting

So Pearl tell me that retired police officers in Jamaica — people who serve thirty years — cannot pay their light bill because the pension system is not paying them out properly. Thirty years! Thirty years in the JCF! These men, some of them my age, some of them younger, they walking into retirement expecting to live on their pension, and the pension office telling them “late July 2026.”

Miss Violet: On the Return of Cohobblopot, the Discipline Expected of Motorists, and the Moral Failure of Letting Children Wait for Counsellors

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 11:30:00 -0400

Good morning, Barbados. Miss Violet addresses you this Sunday morning from the parish of St. Michael, where I have already attended first service and am preparing myself for a proper Sunday lunch with the usual discipline that the occasion deserves.

I have read the papers. I wish to speak to three matters, in the order of their importance.

On the national mental health crisis among our children

The Barbados Union of Teachers has reported that forty percent of calls to the national mental health line come from children and teenagers. Forty. Percent. I want every adult in this country to read that figure and then close their eyes and consider what it means.

Bajan Bugle: Fitch Issues the Annual Warning, 40 Percent of Mental Health Calls Are from Our Children, and Cohobblopot Returns

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 11:00:00 -0400

Bridgetown morning. The Nation’s Sunday is a mixed bag, as all Sundays in a small state tend to be. Three stories are worth sitting with. Let us sit with them.

Fitch warns, the numbers look familiar

Fitch Ratings has issued its quarterly assessment of Barbados and — with the US-Iran conflict now firmly in the picture — flagged tourism pressures and energy price risks as the main downside factors for 2026. The baseline case assumes minimal fiscal impact: global oil averaging US$70/barrel, stable US and UK tourism demand, and the Government’s mitigation measures (absorbing 50% of electricity price increases, locking imported fuel at US$92/barrel, capping fuel taxes for three months) holding.

Trini Dispatch: 56 Bodies in a Shallow Grave, the Fair Trading Commission Still Does Not Exist, and the Piarco Domestic Lounge Closes on the 24th

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 11:00:00 -0400

Port of Spain morning. The papers this Sunday are carrying a story that I have been turning over in my head since Saturday afternoon, and I still do not have the vocabulary for it. Let me try.

Cumuto Cemetery. Fifty-six bodies. Shallow grave.

On Saturday, at the Cumuto Cemetery, two workers from a popular funeral home were discovered attempting to illegally dispose of 56 human remains in a shallow grave. The T&T Police Service is investigating. The funeral home has not, at time of writing, been publicly named across all outlets, but the story is in the Guardian and Newsday.

Yard Report: The Pension Office Says 'Late July 2026,' Howard Lau Says 'Not My Bill,' and the Reggae Girlz Say 'Guyana, Hold My Coffee'

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 11:00:00 -0400

Kingston morning. Another Sunday of the Gleaner delivering exactly the news we knew was coming but hoped would not. Let us walk through it.

The pension scandal finally gets its Sunday front page

The Gleaner’s lead today is the story they have been building to for months. Retired police officers who served three decades cannot pay their light bills because the JCF pension system is broken. “Marlon Campbell” (pseudonym, smart) retired after over two decades in the force, left almost a decade ago, and is still waiting for his final pension letter. He is receiving an interim monthly pension of J$100,000 — the figure that precedes the final amount, the one you get while the paperwork grinds.

Uncle Ramesh: Exxon Investing in We Future, Ali Preparing We for Global Storm, and PPP Government Delivering Despite Opposition Noise

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 10:30:00 -0400

Morning to all my people. Uncle Ramesh here, cup of Mauby in hand, looking out over the backdam and thinking about what the papers saying this Sunday. Let me walk you through it the way it really is, not the way the opposition vexers trying to paint it.

1. Ram and his “amateurish” talk

So Christopher Ram go on radio and call the government “amateurish” for not ring-fencing the Stabroek Block. You know what Uncle Ramesh think? Easy to talk big when you not the one at the table with Exxon.

Caribbean Daily Brief: Jamaica's Pension Scandal Widens, Trinidad Finds 56 Bodies in a Cemetery (Not Buried), Barbados Gets Fitch Warning, and the Reggae Girlz-Golden Jaguars Match Is Tonight

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 10:00:00 -0400

Sunday across the region. The kind of Sunday where three countries produce three completely different species of chaos and we pretend this is normal. Pour your rum punch. Here is what is happening.

JAMAICA — The Pension Scandal Gets Worse

Retired police officers cannot pay their light bills

The Sunday Gleaner’s lead story this morning is devastating. Retired Jamaican police officers — some who served three decades — are unable to pay basic household bills because their pensions have never been properly processed. Retiree “Marlon Campbell” (pseudonym) told the paper he has been getting an interim monthly pension of just over J$100,000 for nearly a decade, still waiting for his final pension letter.

Sunday Brief: Exxon Keeps $23.6 Billion While We Get the Leftovers, Ali Tells Us to 'Brace' for More Pain, and Apparently the Strait of Hormuz Is Now Our Problem

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 10:00:00 -0400

Good Sunday morning, Guyana. The papers this weekend read like a collective exhale, and not the good kind. The kind where you realize you have been holding your breath for four years and the air finally comes out sounding like a tire deflating on the East Bank Highway. Pour your coffee. Let us walk through it.

1. The ExxonMobil arithmetic that refuses to go away

Kaieteur ran the numbers again and they still do not add up in our favour. Between 2020 and 2024, ExxonMobil, Hess, and CNOOC — the Stabroek Block partners — pulled in US$29 billion in profits. Guyana, the sovereign nation on whose seabed this oil is sitting, received US$5.4 billion in the same period. This is our “50/50 partnership.” The math is, as dem boys would say, mathing in a particular direction.

The Indo-Caribbean Brief: How India Became One of Guyana's Most Important Strategic Partners

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 08:00:00 +0000

The Indo-Caribbean Brief: How India Became One of Guyana’s Most Important Strategic Partners

The Georgetown Ledger goes beyond the headlines. How Guyana actually works — with the receipts.

Five years ago, Guyana was a small South American country with a large diaspora and a modest economy. Today, it is one of the fastest-growing oil producers in the world. That transformation did not just change Guyana’s balance sheet. It changed who pays attention to it.

The Indo-Caribbean Brief: Why Indo-Guyanese Culture Doesn't Exist in India Anymore

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 08:00:00 +0000

The Indo-Caribbean Brief: Why Indo-Guyanese Culture Doesn’t Exist in India Anymore

Cane Fields goes beyond nostalgia. How Indo-Caribbean identity actually formed — with the receipts.

Most Indo-Guyanese people grow up with a simple assumption: that their culture is a version of Indian culture, preserved overseas.

It is not.

What exists in Guyana today is not a preserved copy of India. It is a parallel evolution — one that began with Indian migrants in the nineteenth century and then developed independently, shaped by isolation, adaptation, and interaction with other cultures in the Caribbean.

The Nairobi Dispatch: Ruto Calls His Critics 'Noisemakers,' ODM Walks Into a Trap, Sama Fires 1,108, and a Father in Meru Does the Unspeakable

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 12:00:00 -0400

Sunday in Nairobi. The Nairobi Dispatch introduces itself with the observation that, as weeks for political columnists go, this one required no embellishment. The facts did the work. I shall present them with the seasoning they need and no more.

Ruto in Mandera: “Noisemakers and Vision-less”

President William Ruto spent part of Friday in Mandera County. Reading from what appears to have been the morning’s prepared remarks, he dismissed his political opponents as “noisemakers and vision-less,” questioned whether they could locate Border Point One on a map, and asked rhetorically whether any of them had been to Rhamu or Wajir.

The Accra Almanac: De Gold Mine Come Back, De Free Healthcare Go Out, De Cocoa Farmer Still Waiting, and What It Means When an Opposition Cries 'Intimidation'

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 11:30:00 -0400

Greetings from Accra. The Accra Almanac introduces itself this Sunday with a week that happened to deliver the kind of political theatre a columnist dreams about and dreads in equal measure. Much to observe. Let us begin.

Damang Returns to the State

Yesterday, Saturday April 18, at the expiry of a twelve-month non-renewable lease extension, the Damang Mine reverted to the Government of Ghana at the close of Gold Fields’ operatorship. This is a significant moment and I want to mark it properly.

Miss Violet: On De Prime Minister's Warning, De Young Man Remanded, De Oistins Question, and What a Society Owes Its Children

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 11:00:00 -0400

Good morning to every reader. I am Miss Violet. I shall be more brief today than I was yesterday because I have a Sabbath School class to prepare for tomorrow and a granddaughter who expects me at four o’clock for tea. But there is much to address, and I shall address it with my usual directness.

I. On the Prime Minister’s Warning

Prime Minister Mottley has said, publicly this week, that “the world is sliding backwards.” I wish to commend her for the clarity of this statement, and I wish also to say the following to my readers:

Bajan Bugle: De World Is Sliding Backwards, Mottley Says; A Young Man Remanded for Stealing a Key; and Oistins Needs a Rethink

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 10:30:00 -0400

Saturday morning in Bridgetown. Bajan Bugle here. The coffee is strong, the news is mixed, and the Prime Minister is, in her measured way, warning the world to pay attention.

Here is what is on the desk.

The Prime Minister: “The World Is Sliding Backwards”

Prime Minister Mia Mottley used the phrase “the world is sliding backwards” in remarks this week on the state of multilateral affairs. She was referring to a cluster of concerns — retreat from climate commitments, the fraying of international law in the wake of Ukraine and Gaza, the weakening of institutions that took seventy years to build and are unraveling in seven.

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 09:30:00 -0400

Saturday morning, Port of Spain. Trini Dispatch here, trying to sort the week into something that looks like a pattern. It mostly does not form one. I shall present the items as they come.

The Fair Trading Commission, Still Absent

Dr. Ronald Ramkissoon, former chairman of the Fair Trading Commission and an economist of considerable standing, has issued a public warning that calls are now intensifying for the Ministry of Trade, Investment and Tourism to urgently restore the Commission to operational status.

Let me walk you through what we have.

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 08:00:00 -0400

Welcome to de Bounty Board — Guyana’s most honest classifieds section, where the ads say what they actually mean, the sellers tell you what is actually wrong with the item, and the wanted ads are as specific as they need to be.

Here’s what came across my desk this week.

FOR SALE

2014 Toyota Premio — “barely used” Mileage: unknown (odometer broken since 2019). Air conditioning works intermittently, depending on the mood of the compressor. Passenger window does not roll down.

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 07:30:00 -0400

Back-a-Truck here, reporting from the actual back of an actual truck parked on Regent Street because that is where the stories live. Saturday morning in Guyana is its own entire genre of human experience, and today I have been taking notes.

Let me walk you through what I saw.

06:14 — Bourda Market, Opposite the Bus Park

A woman is arguing with a vendor about the price of bora. The bora is $400 a bundle. The woman is offering $300. The vendor says $400 is the price. The woman says last week it was $350. The vendor says last week was last week. The woman says her husband will be upset if she pays $400. The vendor says the husband is not the one selling the bora.

1. DE PROVIDENCE DIVORCE

Okay okay okay. I cannot say names. I WILL NOT say names. But you know the couple in Providence with the house that has the three fountains in front? The one where the wife was always posting on Instagram with the captions about “my king”? The one where the husband drives the black Prado with the personalized plate?

Ramesh Sees It Differently - On Scotiabank's Well-Earned Recognition, De AG's Legal Reform, and De Quiet Infrastructure of Progress

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 06:30:00 -0400

Good morning to all my readers. Uncle Ramesh here on this Saturday, April 18, with the weekend commentary as I see it — which, as my regulars know, is often quite different from how the professional grievance-writers see it.

Scotiabank and the Measure of a Banking Sector

Global Finance magazine, one of the most respected publications in international banking, has named Scotiabank Guyana the best bank in the Caribbean for 2026. Let me pause on the significance of this.

Daily Brief: Nandlall Wants De Noise Gone, Scotiabank Get a Prize, Two Arrested in Berbice for Guns, and de Chess Players Come to Play

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 06:00:00 -0400

Morning, Guyana. Saturday, April 18. The workweek is technically over but traffic doesn’t know that. Here’s what happened while you were sleeping in — or, more realistically, while somebody’s car alarm was going off at 5:47 AM for the third consecutive morning.

1. Nandlall Wants to Strengthen De Noise and Littering Laws

Attorney General Anil Nandlall announced this week that the government will review and amend the Summary Jurisdiction Offences Act to include stronger penalties for littering and noise nuisance, including prison time for repeat offenders and community service.

The Cape Chronicles: The Springboks Aren't Luck. Here's the System That Produces World Cup Champions.

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 08:00:00 +0000

The Cape Chronicles: The Springboks Aren’t Luck. Here’s the System That Produces World Cup Champions.

The Cape Chronicles goes beyond the headlines. The real stories behind South African excellence — with the receipts.

South Africa has won the Rugby World Cup four times. The 1995 win in Johannesburg, memorialized by the Mandela handshake and the photograph every South African of a certain age can describe without thinking. The 2007 win in Paris. The 2019 win in Yokohama. The 2023 win in Paris again, the first back-to-back title defense since New Zealand’s in 2015. No other country has won four. Only New Zealand, with three, is close.

The Naija Lookbook: How Burna Boy, Davido, and Wizkid Built a Global Music Industry From Lagos in Under a Decade

The Naija Lookbook: How Burna Boy, Davido, and Wizkid Built a Global Music Industry From Lagos in Under a Decade

The Naija Lookbook goes beyond the headlines. What Nigeria does better than anyone — with the receipts.

Ten years ago, if you told a Universal Music executive in Los Angeles that a song recorded in Lagos would hit number one in fifteen countries simultaneously, he would have laughed. Nigerian music was a regional category. It had Fela Kuti in the canon and a diaspora audience in London and New York. But it was not, in any serious industrial sense, a global music business.

Miss Violet: I Shall Speak Plainly About De Reparations Figure, De Burning, De Children's Helpline, and What Is Expected of Us Now

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 10:30:00 -0400

Good morning to every soul reading this. I am Miss Violet. I have taught in the schools of Barbados for forty-one years. I retired from teaching but I did not retire from noticing, and I have observations I intend to share with you this Friday morning, whether you wish to hear them or not.

Sit up. Pay attention. I shall not repeat myself.

I. On the Reparations Figure

Barbados has, this week, received the long-promised quantified figure for reparations owed to this nation for the system of slavery under which our ancestors were held, worked, and buried. The figure has been published. It is, as one would expect, substantial.

Bajan Bugle: Reparations Finally Have a Number, Canon Massiah Rests, De Burning Is Back, and De Children Is Calling De Helpline

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 10:00:00 -0400

Good morning from Bridgetown. Bajan Bugle here, looking at the week’s happenings with the raised eyebrow of someone who has seen this particular sequence of events approximately forty-seven times.

Let me walk you through what is worth noticing.

Reparations Finally Have a Number

Barbados now has, for the first time, a quantified figure for reparations owed for the brutal system of slavery. The long-awaited tally has been released. This is, on any measure, a significant moment. It took the better part of a decade of technical work by the CARICOM Reparations Commission, the University of the West Indies, and a constellation of historians, economists, and legal scholars.

Good morning from Port of Spain. Trini Dispatch here, reporting from a country where, as of this week, we are forty-five days into a State of Emergency and the strangest part is that most people have forgotten.

Let’s see what’s in the tray.

The HDC Contracts: $3.4 Billion, Paused

The Office of the Procurement Regulator has halted the award of $3.4 billion in Housing Development Corporation contracts to eleven companies. The halt came hours after a Government minister appeared on television to explain that the process was thorough, appropriate, and beyond reproach.

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 08:00:00 -0400

Morning, Jamrock. Yard Report here from Kingston, processing the week the only way I know how — slowly, with black coffee, and with the grim understanding that the news will somehow get worse before I finish typing.

Let’s see what we’re working with today.

Jaii Frais: The Custody Clock Ticks Down

Popular vlogger Jaii Frais — real name Jhaedee Richards — has been in custody since Sunday following a shooting at the carnival after-party Big Wall. This morning, a Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court judge ruled that the police must either charge him or release him by 6 p.m. today.

Patriots Portfolio: The Rush on Gas Cylinders, the CANU Seizure Hedge, and Why 'Be!' Pay Was Never a Good Idea

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 07:30:00 -0400

Good Friday morning to all the serious money in Guyana. Finance Ferrari here with your weekly read on where the smart rupees are flowing, where the dumb rupees are flowing, and where the rupees are just gone — possibly into a “Be!” Pay wallet that no longer opens.

Let’s get into it.

📈 HOT THIS WEEK: Gas Cylinders and Canned Goods

Following President Ali’s announcement that cross-sector price increases are coming, the Patriots Portfolio panel has observed an unusual uptick in panic-buying across Georgetown and the East Coast. Specifically:

DJ Roadblock: It's Friday, the Whole Country is a Parking Lot, and Somebody Broke Down on Mandela Again

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 07:00:00 -0400

YO. It’s Friday. Big man Friday. DJ Roadblock coming to you live from the top of the Demerara Harbour Bridge, which is currently in the UP position and has been for twenty-three minutes. I am broadcasting from a Corolla that has not moved since 6:47 AM. The driver next to me is eating boil-and-fry corn. We have made eye contact. We are friends now.

THE BRIDGE SITUATION

The Harbour Bridge went up at 6:40 AM for a vessel passage. The vessel was “expected to pass in fifteen minutes.” It has now been thirty-one minutes. The vessel appears to be having some kind of dispute with the tug. Witnesses on the east bank say the captain is visible on the deck gesturing in what appears to be patois. The tug is not responding. The tide is turning. This could be another hour.

Ramesh Sees It Differently - CANU Quarter, Diamond Safety, Morocco Open Skies, and the Acrobatic Troupe of Progress

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 06:30:00 -0400

Good morning to all my loyal readers. Uncle Ramesh here, with the news as it actually stands, not as the doomsayers will have you believe.

CANU Q1 Seizures: A Remarkable First Quarter

The Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit seized more than $190 million in drugs in the first three months of 2026. I have seen certain commentators framing this as a partial success or, worse, as evidence of something sinister. I would ask those commentators to examine the trajectory.

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 06:00:00 -0400

Morning, Guyana. Friday, April 17. The sun is up, the traffic is already nonsense, and somewhere a government minister is already blaming the opposition for it. Here’s what happened while you were sleeping or pretending to sleep.

1. CANU Seizes $190M in Q1 — Says “We Are Really Cooking”

The Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit has announced that it seized more than $190 million worth of drugs in the first three months of 2026. Officials called this “a strong start.” Critics called this “how much of the other $900 million got through.” CANU declined to answer. A separate CANU officer was photographed shaking hands with a miner in Bartica who was later arrested with ganja in a cupboard. Nobody has explained the photo yet.

🏛️ OPPOSITION LEADER DRAMA: THE LONGEST ELECTION EVER

The Headlines:

APNU says they’ll likely abstain from Opposition Leader vote
Mohamed says he’s “scared” ahead of Monday’s vote
APNU warns cut borrowing for Budget 2026 as oil prices slide

The Brief: So Monday’s the big day, right? Wrong. We’ve been saying “Monday’s the big day” since September. Azruddin Mohamed, the US-indicted gold dealer who somehow controls a quarter of the National Assembly, is apparently “scared” about the Opposition Leader vote. Scared of what? Losing? Winning? Having to explain to his American lawyers why he’s running a country instead of running from an extradition warrant?
