    Coming soon to Antigua, at a village near you!!! When we welcome people into our communities, they come with all their ‘baggage.’ These are the very same Jamaicans that are migrating to Antigua! Our prison will be full to overflowing very soon. You know, the funny thing about my people, is that we’re like sponges! We soak up everything! We too are emulating the Jamaican lifestyle! The future looks pretty dismal from where I’m standing!🤷

      It’s so true. Majority of the Jamaican culture and lifestyle have been dominated throughout Antigua that most of the younger Antiguans don’t know their true identity. I have seen similar in the NY and Miami where a large amount of Jamaicans immigrated too. I don’t have problems with people migrating for a better life, but please leave your culture and bad behavior behind.
