      Who are raising today’s youths? Are kids raising kids or Gangstas raising Gangstas? Broken Homes, Duncehall Culture, Antisocial Media Platforms, Lack of moral values and religious disciplines are swiftly destroying the very fabric of our black and negro (kneegrow) communities. Regrettably, our demise appears inevitable. 😠 😔

    Calling for a praise and worship concert for Antigua. Calling all Christians or non Christians and every denominations who believes that Jesus Christ is Lord about all lords!!!!
    This nation of Antigua and Barbuda needs prayers.
    Then make it an annual concert.
    Come on we all can do this together ❤️ 💪

    My heart is breaking this morning because of this. This looks like a crime of passion. Woe to who ever is doing this.

    Why was my last comment mit printed??? Instead I received a message which read “You’re typing too fast. Slow down!” What the heck does that mean? I shall repeat the essence of my ignored comment. This time I’ll be blunt. The recent spike in serious crime and crumbling, desperate institutions are NOT mere coincidences. Remember one “leader” publicly declared words to the effect that “I have people I want to kill. All I need is a license.” We need to stop pretending that we don’t know what is really going on.

    Sorry country this is, I regret coming back to this backwards place. For such a small island and you hear that this is an economic powerhouse I call horse kaka on that statement. Antigua monkey town should be the slogan.
