Oh? I don’t know if to say Antigua is in the hall of fame or Antigua is the hall of fame!! I hope some of our influencers here gets the opportunity to meet him
Waiting to see the trouble Ezekiel cause in Antigua!
Dear Antigua.news while we encourage the celebration and support of our regional celebrities I can’t help but ponder on a few things.
1. The death of Malcom Jamal Warner better known to a generation(s) as ‘Theo Huxable’ from the Cosby Show was not carried by this news portal. He was an exemplary figure on TV as he portrayed young black male excellence on and off the screen. A generation (s)has lost a ‘ big brother’.
Although it’s late I still hope to see an article written about him .
2. The most recent PAC ( public accounts Committee) meeting in Parliament was not reported on. I decided to give you guys some time but it was never reported. It is this same portal that will carry letters to the editor or editorial pieces that the Opposition Leader needs to do better as it relates to PAC of which he is the chair, now that something is being done there is no report on it. Do better please .
Thank you
