Eeny,meeny,miny,moe, which way will you go?

Here I was sitting in front of my television screen watching Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall like I do basically every Saturday. The show was running smoothly and I was fully immersed in the various performances. Just as I got prepared to hear the comments of Miss Kitty like I always do her body language changed and she prepared to release words that in my opinion she will come to regret. After imparting her words in such a knowledgeable fashion I figured that the show would either break or just quickly move to the next segment. Well, no such luck as Yanique the curvy diva made her rebuttal. Immediately, social media went into fourth gear and hasn't slowed down since then with various opinions on the incident.

From where I sat I was simply disappointed in the unprofessional behaviour of both ladies. Firstly, Miss Kitty for addressing the issue on the platform that she did. The issues that she may or may not have with Yanique is not the concern of the public. It has nothing to do with the show or the population at large so I'm not sure why she felt the need to use the public as an audience to speak to Yanique. Secondly, just as Miss Kitty was wrong for bringing the issue to the live show and could have confronted Yanique in her dressing room she could have responded by confronting her after the show to show some form of maturity.

For years, Miss Kitty has prided herself on uplifting women either about their looks or about elevating themselves educationally. The way she spoke to Yanique was as if she was somewhat looking down at the young lady which is something I believe was not acceptable on her part. Both ladies are in the lime light and are even looked upon to lead as examples by some young ladies. I implore both parties to sharpen up, mature and set better examples for those who look on for examples of how to uplift themselves. Enough of the arguments and throwing of words about trivial things such as looks. Imagine if we spent half the time that we spend on competing on actually working together to improve the lives of young girls? Now is not the time for childish name games but for women to be united so we can improve ourselves daily.

TVJ Schools' Challenge Quiz Prizes

The buzzer ignited the excitement in my veins for many years. I grew up watching TVJ Schools' Challenge Quiz and I saw it as a means of once again unifying the nation through friendly rivalry. As the years rolled by things started to change and the blatant favouritism could be seen coming from our television screens. The power of some of the more prominent high schools would allow them to end up in the winning circle. Apart from the fun element turning into some what of a war each year, what has changed drastically is the awarding of the various prizes at the end. Throughout the years we could expect to see students from some of the participating schools coming forward to collect their various prizes at the end of the competition. We looked forward to hearing what the students would be awarded for their hard workout throughout the season. Apparently, this was deemed to be too much of a problem to broadcast so it was eliminated completely. All we see now is the winner collecti

This World

A world where people don't love you if you can't supply them with all the material things they need. A world where people marry just to get citizenship in a country. A world where the most educated aren't the ones given the best of jobs. A world where the television and internet are left to teach our children values. A world where the leaders of the church spend more money on church buildings tha n feeding the poor. A world where children receive guns before they receive a book to read. A world where in one half of the world people fight for an apple to eat while in the other we pick,choose and refuse what to eat. A world where we cry when we have no new clothes or shoes but some have never felt the warmth of a shirt and pants on their cold flesh. A world where politicians get increases in pay while the citizens are placed on wage freeze for years. A world where everybody proclaims they can't trust anybody. A world where girls value are always occupied with their look
