That Nagamotoo Granger ball field story

“I’m optimistic that the dream that was planted on a ball field at Whim when we were boys, that actually that that dream could be realized that we could boast it here coming out of a village environment and we could both hold out to you that we thought that one day Guyana deserves better.”

So said the AFC’s Moses Nagamootoo at the press conference on Friday announcing he will be the alliance’s running mate with APNU’s David Granger – the implication being that the two of them said something to each other and some 60 years later they can still remember that conversation.

Firstly it’s unlikely they attended Scott’s Auchlyne Primary school at the same time although Nagamootoo does not actually claim that. Granger was born in July 1945 and according to a 2011 interview with Neil Marks he grew up in Bartica, then Whim before the family moved to Georgetown when he was about nine years old. This would mean he left that school in 1954/1955.  Nagamootoo was born in November 1947 and would have attended the primary school after he turned six, assuming the same age requirements were in place, which would have been in September 1955.

As for the ball field story is Nagamootoo really claiming that he and Granger as children had some talk about the future of their yet to be independent country? How precocious. It all seems like an unnecessary embellishment to what is an already powerful story – that they did live close to each other six decades ago and after all of Guyana’s subsequent tumultuous history, they are now reunited on a political platform in 2015.

You people are in the middle of an election campaign and think cussing down people is a viable tactic.

Your stupidity amazes me. Especially coming from a grown man.

P.S...My opinions don't matter much at the end of the day. I don't vote. Nor do I plan to.
