Tola,

 

You're too sensitive man. It was actually a knock on me and on the time that I ran for office.

 

Kari would always say I wore a Sunday/Monday/Tuesday suit that was all the same. It's not what you think.

 

I am from ordinary Corentyne people. I would never ever make mockery of a man's financial circumstances.

Shaitaan, no offence intended.

It comes from our international social justice work, where we don't like to see the underdog trampled on.  

 

What does your name mean.. Is it about the movie with rapes and murders.  Mine is from a Caribbean island, where I visit often.

 

Likewise. I did notice a bit of the Social Justice lefty in you

 

Well, my nickname of "Satan" is from high school. I was elected Student Body President and apparently my tenure of office was considered soooooo dictatorial over the Student Council that the PTA President dubbed me "The Grand Ayatollah" as in Ayatollah Khomeini, and my fellow students dubbed me "Satan."

 

I didn't help my image much when my term of office came to a close, I lost the Black vote for re-election (98% Black electorate, it was tough). Not to worry though, as I still managed to retain my seat on the Student Council. I used this seat to re-write the Student Constitution and Bylaws which transferred all responsibilities/powers of the Presidency to the Speaker of the Council, to which I then arranged my election. Not totally happy with the resulting "gift" of a ceremonial presidency to the actual winner of the election who defeated me, I had him impeached under an Impeachment article I personally drafted and rammed through the Council without having anyone actually have time to read it. I then proceeded to move Impeachment against this poor chap who lasted about 1 month into his 12 month term of Student Presidential Office.

 

So I solidified my nickname of "Satan/ The Grand Ayatollah" in High School as Student Body President and Speaker of the Council and Architect of the New Constitution and Bylaws and Architect of the School's first and only Impeachment of a Student Body President. The Student Government I'm told repealed my Constitution in favor of something more "democratic."

 

In Addition, I am of Islamic origin so "Shaitaan" seems appropriate and I am a notorious chain smoker of a particular brand of smokes I developed a taste for as a teenager in London.

 

P.S....I wish this was all a joke ....Oh yea, I also won my first election in the seventh grade to Student Council by promising this ugly girl that I would take her out on a date. I won by 1 vote. I of course never kept my promise.

Quite  a story. I can see why you moved into law.

I was a shy guy when I first came overseas, now they can't seem shut me up.

People decades ago would  say, 'you don't seem to say much' and I would reply, 'I learn more by listening', but I was scared of my country baie accent in a all white community.

 

No grief for your story, I have similar stories that I write and place in a box in our computer room titled ' The Life and Times of Tola'. Hopefully one of our grandkids might pick up on it and do something about it.

 

As chairperson, I am going thru similar constitutional  changes for a senior group, where people drafted the constitution to empower themselves with controlling benefits. Not different from the GY constitution.

  

We provide sustainable economies for the needy in developing countries and take note of the their 'colonial' life styles.

Berbice is another place we tried to assist youth with suicide prevention programs, until the greed and corruption shut us down, with a need to see changes in Guyana, hopefully for the better.     

 

I Google 'Shaitaan' and discovered its the name of an  Indian movie, thus my mention in my last post.

Don't trust Cain with phone numbers, he is desperate man and if the woman dislike you now, it might be worse with Cain contact.

Sorry Cain, the frying pan might be a good option for now.      

Tola
