Was Independence Worth It.? Part 1:

Jamaicans, whether we reside at home or abroad, take a keen inter­est in the hap­pen­ings at home, we want to know see Jamaica doing well .
Wherever we are to be found we live like Jamaicans ‚eat Jamaican, and social­ize as we did back home.
I have lived away from home for a while,and still our pantry is stocked with Jamaican food, my wife and I would have it no oth­er way.
I do feel a sense of guilt every time I vis­it this sub­ject know­ing as I do the strug­gles the Jamaican peo­ple face on a dai­ly basis, grow­ing up the poor­est of the poor I am par­tic­u­lar­ly sen­si­tive to the tra­vails of the peo­ple, in their dai­ly strug­gle just to make ends meet .The guilt I feel is not one of wrong doing , it is a guilt a con­sci­en­tious human being should feel know­ing that peo­ple do not have enough to eat and chil­dren are going to bed with­out the most basic neces­si­ties of life, food, and clean drink­ing water!!

In a mat­ter of months Jamaica will cel­e­brate 50 years as an inde­pen­dent Nation, The ques­tion that ought to be para­mount in our minds must be “what have we accom­plished as an Independent Nation”? .

This will form part of a series of blogs I will write ‚and one in which I will be ask­ing you to par­tic­i­pate from today henceforth.
