The 41-year-old attorney told News Room that she felt it was time to return home and serve her country.

“I always wanted to eventually return home and the opportunity came and I thought it was a good time to come home and continue to contribute to the development of the jurisprudence. I was already doing that is the Eastern Caribbean but Guyana is home,” she said.

Corbin-Lincoln said she is looking forward to her journey ahead.

Sir Gilbakka if you score a future daughter then you should consider naming her Fidela

Not impossible. The man is in the twilight years of his life and you are thinking of maybe his future daughter? How about you thinking of this for you seeing you are still a "young man".

Prash is in his twilight years too.

Anyone who was following what Prashad has been preaching will know that Prashad wants every Guyanese East Indian male to play his part and contribute to increasing the declining Guyanese East Indian population.  If you cannot increase the Guyana East Indian population then try to increase the dougla population.  It does not have anything to do with age. All East Indian Guyanese men should play their part.  Get a woman who can get a child and get busy. That means all them men like Gilbakka, Gerhard, Prince, chief, Burnham Hydro seed engineer,  warrior, keffer, Mitwah, Skeldon, Riff, Amral etc should come out of retirement and get busy. Prashad is expecting an upcoming East Indian baby boom.

How do you think East Indians became the majority. It is 8 East Indian children and 4 dougla children each East Indian man father in the past.

I agree.  But you telling the guys to trade in their older wives and GFs for younger chicks!  Not sure how the other women will take it....definitely not "lying down!"
