It is your right to be a lungera. It would have also been your right to just bypass my statements if you were going to become impotent in expanding on them. But I do not stand in your way of choosing to be impotent. That is your right.

Save your Dalit language for when you're home with your fellow Dalits. It means nothing to me.

He who knows not and knows not he knows not, he is a fool. In that famous proverb, you fit into that category perfectly. I bet that a few people reading what you wrote must wonder which world this guy is living in.

I'm by no means nonexistent and I'm not even slightly bothered that I'm inconsequential to a dunce. Works in my favor anyway. One less idiot to worry about. I just find it extremely humorous that you go into one serious explanation about Guyanese politics and you don't know what you're talking about. Typical ramblings of a self confessed uneducated fool.

You have confessed that you are only killing time here. That you don't care that there are probably many other things that you could have been doing instead of being here as a lungera if you only had a life like others. And yet you have the nerve to label someone else. I would have loved to advise you to quit while you are ahead but you have already dropped way below the Mendoza line. But keep on digging your grave if you so wish.

Once again, I advise you to use your Dalit language among your fellow Dalits in your own home since it is meaningless to me. You're the one who should have quit a long time ago since you're completely wrong and making yourself even more of a fool with every post you make. I'm working at the moment so I have to be at my computer anyway. Don't flatter yourself that I'd be devoting my time exclusively to a self confessed uneducated nudnik.

Can someone please be generous to this moron tonight and explain to him what is completely wrong in his ramblings. Here is his masterpiece for fools - 

"Political crimes and corruption did not begin with the PPP in 1992. It was there before that. I don't know how old you are but I lived through the 1973 elections as well as the 1978 Referendum Amendment Bill. Those were rigged by the PNC to give Burnham infinite power and make him president for life. Too bad for him a greater power decided that his presidency while still rigged in 1980 will only have a normal 5 years life. Good for Guyana, his life was also removed so he does not continue to abuse the Guyanese people. During that period, there were a bunch of incompetent people managing the corporations that the rest of us work at only because they were affiliated with the PNC. People did not get the reward of their efforts unless those efforts were to appease the PNC. Those were some of the many ills of the PNC government prior to bankrupting the country and being forced to hold a transparent election in 1992.

I've never begged anyone for help on this forum and I'm surely not about to do it now. I'm not incapable of explaining to you where you are wrong. I'm just not interested in educating a fool. You're not worthy of my teaching anyway. I just prefer to leave you to wallow in your stupidity. In the famous proverb that I quoted before, it suggested that fools should be shunned. It's a complete waste of time trying to teach a fool when he is too arrogant to admit that he is wrong. Maybe Redux will help you out if he cares to answer the piece of tripe you spat in his direction.

Had you even a brain the size of a pea, you would have made that decision before your very first post and save yourself the ensuing indignity.

It's quite obvious who the pea brained one is tonight and I'll give you a hint - it isn't me. You're the one who recently confessed that you're uneducated and it shows. You really didn't have to tell me since my fool detecting radar sniffed you out a long time ago.

Indignity? Surely you jest. Do yourself a favor and study the results from the last Guyana elections. Have someone do the math on how much seats were awarded to the PPP and the other parties since your intelligence level is obviously maxed out at that of a moron.  

Feel free to beat your chest. It matters none to me. I can say whatever I wish and not surprisingly you believed me when I said that I am uneducated. How do you think I manage to hold a controllership job in Finance. How do you think I manage to be financially independent and where I want to be in life, in my marriage and with my kids? I don't know who you are and I really don't care. You are as real to me as the Unicorn is. Whether you are educated or have the things in life that makes you feel blessed or not is not important to me. Hopefully you are not working in North America because it would be a shame that you are working at this late hour. But that is your problem not mine. Just do yourself a favor and resist the urge to display your foolishness in the future. I display more smarts because I could have followed you around on other threads but unfortunately for you, I have self control. So go on pounding your chest. Soon you will come to the sad realization that it is shallow. Now feel free to put your tail between your legs and vamoose.

I could care less what you tell me your job is, how much money you earn or how great a family life you have. People can say anything on the internet anyway. What matters is that what you wrote is nonsense and I called you out on it. You chose to curse me in the language of your Dalit forefathers which is meaningless to me. How classy and smart on your part. 

I'm on call 24/7/365 so I can be at work in the comfort of my home at anytime. For you to think that is shameful just displays the level of your stupidity. Do you think that doctors are not working at this time in North America? Is it shameful for someone to earn an honest living at this hour? What is shameful about it? It certainly is not a problem for me.

The only smarts you display is in your own mind. You're so foolish that you haven't even realized that what you wrote is nonsense. Your employers must be really hard up to have a classless nincompoop like you working for them.

What a lame retreat. Sure there are many different kinds of people working unusually late hours. Some are important like Doctors while other are less important like the 7-Eleven attendant and there are many others between those two. How many people you know working late hours doing important work like doctors and still have time to be on a social chat-line when they don't even care to be? You would have done yourself a great favor if you had not even signed on last night but even so, you were already a lost case.

I guess you just can't help making a complete idiot of yourself and then compounding it even further. Did you have someone help you to count the number of seats held in the Guyana parliament by the opposition? Here you are claiming that you are in the finance field and you don't even know the difference between a majority and a minority. With your complete lack of knowledge of these basic concepts, you are most likely controlling the finances of Singh's Roti Shop. 

There are many important people who work at various hours but I wouldn't expect you to know this since you're shallow between the ears and you cannot think further than you can see. Unlike your professional world which is limited locally to Singh's Roti Shop, I occasionally collaborate with colleagues around the world in various time zones around the world. This is very common with Fortune 500 firms but your lil accounting wuk at the Roti Shop does not grant you such experiences.  

Talk about a lost case. Here you are claiming that the opposition parties in the Guyana parliament hold less seats than the PPP and you're still rambling away in your usual uneducated style. No coherent thoughts or constructive argument to bring to the table. Even my fifteen year old nephew knows the difference between a majority and a minority. Your two years at UG probably didn't help too much.  

So that is what got your panties all bunched up? Whether I know the difference between a majority and a minority. My entire message in that first statement would not change in substance if you remove that. Which puts you in the same blind following political role as any other. You chose to get worked up over majority and minority when the message was about corrupt and crooked politicians. You certainly enjoy getting your ass kicked.

Funny that I am uneducated when you are laboring late at night doing work with others around the world. And unless you are a doctor or other medical related professional, you are being pissed on when you have to work hours like you were last night. But if you need to comfort yourself, go right ahead. You need it.

You and your entire Dalit army are incapable of taking me on. You're too much of a dunce to match wits with me. 

Comfort yourself in thinking that my occasional work for a couple hours at night bothers me. Only a narrow minded nincompoop would think that professional people do not do meaningful work at night all over this globe. You'll forever remain at your Roti Shop Manager job with your way of thinking but to you it must the highlight of your career.

You must be stinging from me exposing you as a mental midget but it's not my fault that you were not smart enough to attend proper schools in your formative years. 

What a moron

Ksazma - "That is why I stand by my statement before the last election that Guyana would be better served by a balanced government with representatives to everyone. And good for the country, it got somewhat of that balanced government. But the non-PPP parties were expecting to be the majority which did not happen. So instead of accepting their one seat minority knowing that they can do so much more with the added seats that they have, they decided to become saboteurs instead. They have so far squandered a valuable opportunity. To state that there is no doubt about that does not require quotation marks but I am sure you will find a need for it because you are determined that the PPP have issues."

Mars' moral compass is if he hears someone say that the man rape the little girl, the only problem he will have is that the person did not say "the man raped the girl" You came on beating your chest and eventually ended up disclosing that your chest beating was empty. No wonder you were so reluctant to explain what all your chest beating was about. But when I put you on the spot about your menial job, you lost your guard and committed yourself to exposing your stupidity. Do yourself a favor and stay away from big man's games. You are not ready for that league. Now vamoose.

You put me on a spot about a menial job? hahaha. The only thing you did was confirm to the people who read this board that you are a thick in the head nudnik. Dude, you would never acquire the smarts in this lifetime to do what I do for a living. Your two years at UG after leaving IETC just does not cut it. You're way down in the minor leagues and unfortunately too old to advance your retarded way of thinking.

A lil short piece of turd like you trying to call yourself a big man. A roti shop manager who claims he's in finance and does not know the difference between a majority and a minority. You disclosed that your head was empty when you made those stupid statements about the opposition parties in Guyana. Stick to commenting on what you know about which is nothing much. You're perfectly suited for the Rev's dildo threads on the Social Forum but I guess you unsuccessfully tried to venture out where the more intellectually gifted graze on this forum. You paid the price for your stupidity.

Keep beating your chest that you are important. Somebody has to make you feel that way. Why not you since no one else will. I am done wasting time with you. If you must continue talking to yourself, go right ahead. You are also entitled to you own madness.

NCN corruption debates…Jagdeo acquired more wealth in office than any other Guyanese President – AFC Chairman

“What is wrong with a former president or a president seeking to ensure that he lives a comfortable life after his presidency? Especially because we have term limits, knowing full well that you are going to demit office, you must ensure that you look for your future. We must not go from a president to rags,” – Labour Minister Nanda Gopaul.

Bharrat Jagdeo, while in office, acquired more wealth than any other president of independent Guyana. This is according to Alliance for Change (AFC) Chairman attorney at law Nigel Hughes. Hughes made the observation while single-handedly taking on two cabinet ministers – Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs Anil Nandlall and Labour Minister Nanda Gopaul – a PPP sympathizer and the Chief Labour Officer, during the latest edition of the National Communication Network-organized public debates on corruption. The other main opposition A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) has opted out of the debates. Amidst a string of rebuttals from his opponents, Hughes went on to point out that “no other head of state in this country through independence to now…while they were president, made a business of the presidency to acquire the assets that the State owned; not assets they went out on the open market and bought; assets that the State owned, and they then converted and bought below market prices.” Hughes was mainly referring to the house that the former Guyanese leader now owns at Sparendaam East Coast Demerara (Pradoville 2), which he described as a “Palace”. According to Hughes, Jagdeo managed to purchase prime ocean front land for $5M per acre, an amount way below the market value of such property. “This is State land acquired by the government of the day and distributed to the President and the President’s friends below market prices, next to Courida Park, some of the most expensive real estate. I’m still waiting to find out where I can get one acre of ocean front property, prime real estate for $5M per acre,” Hughes said. He challenged his opponents to identify whether Dr. Jagan or even President Burnham ever carried out such practices. His assertions were strongly refuted by Labour Minister Nanda Gopaul and Attorney General Anil Nandlall, who made it clear that Jagdeo received what every other Guyanese received under the government’s housing programme. Nandlall explained that like every other Guyanese, Jagdeo was allocated a house lot for $58,000, which in the particular case was located in Goedverwagting, or what is popularly called Pradoville, on the East Coast of Demerara. “It is most unfair to say that the president took the nation’s assets and enriched himself,” he said. It was emphasised that at the time of the acquisition, Jagdeo was Minister of Finance and not the President. “The difference between Mr. Jagdeo and every other President in this country is that he took power in his thirties. He didn’t own anything, he came back from studies, he worked and he acquired as he was working. He was the only President that is distinguished in that respect,” the Attorney General stated. According to Labour Minister Gopaul, the Ministry of Housing is an authority in Guyana to develop housing schemes and sell house lots, and all the prices are consistent with State value. Nandlall explained that with a tax free salary of close to $1M per month, along with other benefits as President, Jagdeo could afford to construct a house, which he could have eventually resold for US$600,000 (G$120M). The Attorney General defended the price that Jagdeo managed to get for the property since he, Nandlall, had personally negotiated the deal as the duly constituted attorney for the former President.

“That was not the agreed price. US$600,000 was not the price that the President wanted, he wanted higher than that. We finally arrived at a price and I conducted the entire transaction,” Nandlall said. But the AFC Chairman questioned the integrity of the whole sale, noting that it appeared as if there was some Presidential hand-wringing.

Jagdeo’s home at “Pradoville 2”.

“When you are in the office of presidency and you are the only person who can sell a two-storey concrete building on 5000 square feet of land, residential property, for US$600,000, there is some magic there. And so that you do not expose yourself to an allegation that you are not being improperly influenced, particularly where the purchaser is the campaign manager of the PPP,” Hughes stated. But the Attorney General countered by declaring that he has done conveyances as a practitioner of law, whereby he sold residential properties for US$1M and over. “I have done it in this country and I’m sure that Mr. Hughes has done so,” Nandlall argued. Nandlall disclosed that after the sale another piece of land was made available for distribution to a certain quality of Guyanese office holders, a category into which the former President fell. “The impression that is being given here, that the President embarked upon this conquest and acquired land by some improper way and improper procedure, is one that must be wholly rejected,” the Attorney General stated emphatically. According to Nandlall, many persons, including Ministers of the government, former Commissioners of Police and CARICOM Secretariat officials, were offered land for sale there, a move that he said was made public. But Hughes countered that he like many other Guyanese was unaware that the State land at Pradoville 2, which “Jagdeo and his close associates” now occupy, was advertised for sale publicly. “Can I ask…where was this land advertised? When did they advertise ocean front land?” It was around that time that Labour Minister Nanda Gopaul made one of the more controversial contributions of the debate. He argued that there was nothing wrong with a President fortifying himself financially while in office. “What is wrong with a former President or a President seeking to ensure that he lives a comfortable life after his presidency? Especially because we have term limits, knowing full well that you are going to demit office, you must ensure that you look for your future. We must not go from a President to rags,” Gopaul asserted. He further argued that the assets of the former President can be scrutinised so that anyone can see how he has acquired his wealth. At the conclusion of the debate, the AFC Chairman reiterated that there must be a cap on the former President’s benefits, since it would be unfair to the taxpayers for Jagdeo to build a palace and have them “foot the bill” for its upkeep.
