Yesterday Jamaica the Island nation,celebrated 50 years of Independence from great Britain, there are more than enough questions regarding our independence, some even maintain that we would have been better off maintaining the colonial shackles.

I will refrain from mak­ing any com­ments on the authen­tic­i­ty of those argu­ments , suf­fi­cient to say that as a child of the new­ly inde­pen­dent Nation I am hon­ored and indeed grate­ful to have been born in such a beau­ti­ful place.

There are many things we will have to look at as we enter the next 50 years with a view to deter­min­ing where we went wrong along the way and take a con­cert­ed stand to ensure that we have a bet­ter sec­ond half than we did the first.

There are present­ly many pos­i­tive things hap­pen­ing in our coun­try , none more thrilling, than the time­ly Olympic games being held in London England and the pride that ath­letes like Usain Bolt, Shelly-Anne Fraser-Price and oth­ers have brought to our country.

This blog-site salutes all Jamaicans, but more-so we salute our beau­ti­ful Island in the sun.

Happy 50^th birth­day Jamaica.
