Govt. to release 2012 population census on Monday

Guyana’s last census was conducted in 2002 when a population of 751,023 was recorded.

Will it be up or down this time around?

QUOTE: "The preliminary report of the 2012 census will reflect the situation as at December 2012."

According to KN, the report includes some specific info like total head count, regional population growth and density, and gender distribution.

MISSING: Population breakdown by race/ethnicity. This is the main interest of political people.

Like CaribJ and Redux, for sure.  Race matters.

Lemme put it this way, Base. Political peeps want to know if the Indo population shrink and by what percentage compared to the 2002 count.

That will indicate the state of the PPP electoral base. Then the exciting part of the race will start.

i heard you fly in to guyana just to make sure you get count,keep the indian race at the top,but do not forget most of the indian people want nothing to do with the ppp.maybe you can ask back for your airfare,it was a trip lost in vain  

dem bais done set up 20 jumbos

Baseman why don't Indians vote PNC, or have never voted for an Afro Guyanese?

that not true RODNEY had lot of indian followers i was one.but then again baseman is a collie not a indian

Carib, I'll take you up on this one. Give me a little time and I'll open a new thread for your consideration.

Race matters but the PPP will not be able to hide the significance of the drop in the East Indian Population.  It is surely below 40%.  Now 39%

Cant gauge that as he never contested an election.  The question might be how many might have liked him, but still voted PPP out of the ethnic paranoia towards the PNC?

Baseman was a youth running down Water Street and squatting in front GSL tekking lash from PNC and Green/HoI goons and was ready to vote for Rodney.

i take that @ face value

suh, when did u turn into a bigot . . . was it after u 'refugeed' to NA?

Baseman is a tolerant individual, never a bigot.

Base, if you were there that day when the police arrested Gordon Todd, I was in the melee too.

Yes, I witnessed that arrest and then later the arrest of Dr Gunraj Kumar, leader of Libertor.

Yes a man who screamed that but for Indians Guyana would be Haiti.  That blacks have to be grateful that Indians "rescued" them.  That blacks are lazy, illiterate and criminal and have made no contribution to Guyana.  That the diet of Africans revolves around ants.

You are now ashamed to express these views publicly.

Yeah dat baseman nearly make Iman get beat up. I go in dis here african store an I say a man name baseman say dat black peoples dem does have recipes for ants and I want some fo try it.

I man nearly dead when dem people done with me yeh.

What a bunch of lies.  BTW, large ants are the delicacy of several societies, I think even Europe and Asia more than Africa.

With regards to the "criminal" elements within sections of Guyana society, well there are many words to describe and it transcends Afros.
