Gilbakka:

* Your gloom and deep pessimism stem from the fact that the PPP is in power.

* If your beloved PNC/AFC were in power you'd be singing a different tune.

* The Rev sees the Marriott project as a plus for Guyana.

* The Mariott sponsors and investors are what I deem DOERS---they take risks and make things happen. Critics of the Marriott are TALKERS---many are PPP HATERS and are full of hot air.

Rev

* Once again---click on the link---then click on TRAVELLING OR VACATIONING IN GUYANA----to see the Marriott progress in Guyana.

Rev, words like gloom, pessimism and haters are emotionally charged.

For me, they play no part in analysis.

Facts, figures, empirical evidence --- these are the tools I work with.

Howl high and howl low, put aside your emotions and overt race bigotry and look at the facts I presented above.

Based on them, it's clear your corrupt PPP is selling out Guyana for a song.

You can't acknowledge that reality? Your problem.

Gilly:

* When the PPP built Providence stadium with financing from India, many in the opposition were hugely critical of the project.

* The Providence stadium has turned out to be a positive for Guyana and Guyanese.

* The critics and prophets of doom are now targeting the Marriott.

* Let me remind you of this piece of wisdom from the great Albert Einstein:

"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." Einstein

* The DOERS making the Marriott happen are men and women of great spirits; the TALKERS condemning the project ---well they are just TALKERS.

Rev

Thank you so much for the reminder, Rev.

It is, however, an inappropriate and inept reminder.

Do you really believe Albert Einstein had the likes of Bharrat Jagdeo and Winston Brassington in mind when he used the words "Great spirits"?

Surely, Rev, you delude yourself nicely.

Gilly bhai:

* I know you are well read, so surely you may have seen this before:

"No man is happy without a delusion of some kind. Delusions are as necessary to our happiness as realities."

* The Rev is pleased as punch with his delusions gilbakka, and I'm sure you harbor a few delusions yourself.hahaha

Rev

Can you tell me how Providence stadium has benefitted Guyana.  Note that it is financed by a loan and the lenders will only accept payment in US dollars. So itemize how Providence generates foreign exchange.  Cricket is rarely played there these days.

Also if the Marriot is so lucrative why wasn't it financed on the same basis as that new Indian own hotel will be?  They aren't asking the taxpayers for any equity, or loan guarantees, or guarantees if the project fails.  They are taking 100% risk, which is what I expect an investor to do if he has confidence in his project.

What is obvious is that the investors in Marriott LACK CONFIDENCE, and need to be enticed to invest by the PPP to save themselves the embarrassment of the project failing.

You expect a lot from a PPP thug. All he knows is "ahbe pan tap...collie time now....black man time done".  Aside from that he doesn't care one bit about Guyana.

Facts, figures, empirical evidence.   When ever these are in evidence Guyana always looks backward compared to its Caribbean peers.  So why will the PPP believe in it?

Boy, I have to give it to you here again: you have the makings of a great conman. A reincarnation of our own Guyanese, His Eminence DOCTOR CRIME.

But, judging from the little I knew of him, Doctor Crime had more scruples than you. And, he wasn't racial. At one time he chose to live in the Afro-dominated Tiger Bay where he was highly regarded.

The way you get on in this Forum, it is reasonable to assume that you've chosen to live far from those types whom you call Cuffy.

Back to the essence of your thread. The PPP can build 10 Marriots but when they have vocal racial propagandists like you, I can assure you that no Black or Cuffy tourist will patronize those hotels.

ha ha ha ha ha

carib:

* STOP ASKING SILLY QUESTIONS.

* Tens of Thousands of Guyanese have enjoyed sporting and cultural events at Providence stadium---that stadium is a plus for Guyanese.

* Of course you are not one of those fun loving Guyanese who has been entertained at Providence---you are a grouch hoping and praying for your beloved PNC to rule Guyana again----that is the only way you'll ever return to Guyana for a visit.

* The bad news for you carib is you will never see your country of birth again----the PPP will remain large and in charge for decades to come.lol

Rev

The PPP forever.  All they need to do is import more pretty chinee women.

Dem coolie gyal gon bruk yuh head wid belna.

Rarely you find a pretty chinee woman in Guyana. I haven't seen one yet in Skeldon area.

Yes,

Bring in dem Chinese. Even Moses supports the Chinese while their supporters are cursing the Chinese. The AFC right hand does not know what the left hand is doing:

yuji, you are a dishonest man.

There are many venues for sporting activities, and surely a less costly stadium, financed LOCALLY, would have been more appropriate.

It doesn't bother you that the PPP squanders millions on failed projects and yet cant even pay decent salaries and so the best Guyanese educational and healthcare professionals flee to Barbados and Antigua. Indeed BOTH islands have so many Guyanese that their healthcare systems would collapse if Guyanese ever left.

Indeed to show what confidence the PPP has in healthcare in Guyana that Jagdeo gets diarrhea and gets flown to Miami!

* You and I both reside in the great US of A.

* How many trillions(not millions or billions) does our American government waste and squander ?

* LISTEN! ALL GOVERNMENTS WASTE AND SQUANDER.

* By the way carib, did you complain about waste and squander when the PNC spent hundreds of millions back in the 70s trying to develop the Mazaruni hydro ?

* Of course you didn't complain. Your beloved PNC was in power back then.hahahaha

Rev

The fcat that the US govt wastes and squanders isn't the issue as Guyanese don't suffer as a result.  In any case the US govt only needs to print more US dollars when they want more cash as there will always be Chinese, Arabs and Russians lining up to buy.

Guyana needs to FIND US dollars to pay off loans, so if Provident and Skeldon don't generate these dollars then they must be taken from the gold miners, or rice farmers.

On another thread that is active now I wrote my opinions of the Burnham era.  You can read that and then continue to pretend that I support Burnham, but then you will merely reveal yourself to be the fraud that we all know that you are.

Rev

Carib is and will always be an Indo hater who rushes to defend Hero Afro Dictators like Burnham and Hoyte and his newfound Rigger, Granger.

The PNC must NEVER be trusted and the dirty Indos in the AFC are worse.

Hey Hey Hey. Jagdoe send he bai Vishnu Bisram aka Rev Al. Hey Hey Hey 

Why don't you observe the comments that I have made of BOTH Burnham and Granger EVEN TODAY?

What a dishonest lying dog you are, just like the rest of the PPP!

And talking about racism....look at your epithet "dirty Indians", only because they refuse to accept the whip lash from the PPP.

IS LAWAA THE SAME AS DIG DUTTY ?

CHECK THIS CARIB:

* Guyana's external debt is around 1.97 billion(US).

 

* Guyana's external debt as a percentage of GDP is 70.8%---Canada has an external debt as a % of GDP of 74.1%

 

* In 2012 Guyana's interest payment on it's external debt was $21,681,000----that is miniscule.

BOTTOM LINE:

* Guyana has no problem servicing it's external debt.

* SO STOP THE DRAMA CARIB.

* Guyana is in good shape financially.

CHECK OUT THESE 11 COUNTRIES THAT ARE NEARING BANKRUPTCY

* Ecuador, Egypt, Pakistan, Venezuala, Argentina, Belize, Cuba, Cyprus, Greece, Jamaica, Ukraine

* Bet you wished Guyana was among those countries carib.lol

Rev

  If Guyana is so rich then why don't the pay the rice and sugar farmers on time?  Instead many now risk bankruptcy and had to RIOT to make their problems known.

Guyana remains the poorest country in CARICOM aside from Haiti.  What ever metric you use to show socio economic rankings Guyana is BELOW Barbados...a tiny piece of coral poking out of the Atlantic.  Guyanese are among the most impoverished, which is why the crowd islands like Barbados.  So rather than wasting $ the PPP should stop building white elephants.

I don't think that Canada is going to have any difficulties servicing its debt.  I do know that many of these CARICOM nations raised debt in PRIVATE markets.  Guyana is limited to loans from development agencies and foreign aid donors.  Guyana lives off "pity money...you know soft loan here, soft loan there".  Others had to raise cash at market rates.

carib:

* CUT THE NONSENSE!

* How can Guyana be the poorest nation in Caricom aside from Haiti when I already told you that Jamaica is among 11 countries that are near bankruptcy ? Jamaica's government debt as a percentage of GDP is 133.7%

* That lovely country has become a basket case.

Rev

Why do you not do an analysis of what constitute Guyana's GDP before you open your yap.  Get it into your head; guyana has never produced sufficient to meet its needs in its entire existence. Borrowing from the Chinese also comes with different perils.

HERE'S THE COMPOSITION OF GUYANA'S GDP

OVERALL GDP = 2.85 billion(US)

 

Agriculture + Value added = 611.7 million or 21.5%

 

Industry + value added = 967.4 million or 33.9%

 

Services, etc + value added = 1.272 billion or 44.6%

AN EXPRESSION OF CONFIDENCE IN GUYANA'S ECONOMY

The J&C Renaissance Banquet Hall in Linden

LINDEN ENTREPRENEUR OPENS THE J&C RENAISSANCE HALL

Prime Minister Samuel Hinds and proprietress of J&C Renaissance Banquet Hall Janice Mc Almont sharing a light moment during the opening ceremony

The J & C Renaissance Banquet Hall, which is located in Ameila’s Ward, Linden on Saturday opened its doors, another testimony to investors’ confidence in the local economy.

Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, who commissioned the building, said the initiative also bears evidence that Linden is progressing and is on par with other regions of the country in terms of development

PPP HATERS will not be pleased with this development in Linden.

* BUT PROGRESS CONTINUES ALL ACROSS GUYANA.

http://www.guyanatimesgy.com/2...nfidence-in-economy/

Rev

Long Live the PPP. Five more years. Five more years.

May Krsna Bless Sam and the PPP. May the good people of Linden prosper under the PPP.

May the rotten Riggers burn in envy.

Jamaica has a higher GDP per capita than Guyana.  Guyana is poorer.  Jamaica has a higher HDI index than Guyana.  Guyanese are WORSE off.

How ever you put it Guyana is the poorest CARICOM nation, with the exception of Haiti. 

And when you add all of that and divide it by the population Guyana has a LOWER GDP per capita.

Rice in trouble.  Gold in trouble.  Sugar near death.  Bauxite virtually dead.

No wonder a mere banquet hall has you in ecstasy.   I bet you even on Nevis, which is equivalent in size and maybe population to Leguan, wouldn't make a deal about a banquet hall.  But apparently nothing is happening in Linden so it becomes a major earth shattering event.

Like if your sorry ole ass can do anything with them.

What a ringing endorsement of the PPP!

How does the above answer the question of the financing of the Providence stadium and how wasteful it is compared to other alternatives?

You never address the question, eh? Here, it's not about Guyana's external finance. It's about whether the taxpayer-backed financing could have been put to uses that address poverty. 

The infamous Rev's use of statistics in his celebrated manner resulting in life's truths.

Here comes Rev's echo. 

well you have to know guyana is a backward country when the government think this is a big deal,what a laugh,yugi go down the street and any corner store will look like this and you will pass it a million times and will not look at it
