Mercy, an opinion can cost you a lot ee man, I don’t think Kimmz saw this coming

The arguments for the Privy Council are steeped in ignorance and a lack of trust for our own. The Slave masters were soooooo successful, I don’t even think they could have known how good their mental colonization was.

Wait until yall realize the political influence on UK judges that have influenced their decisions

[kevin o'brien chang @kevinobriencha1]

Most Jamaicans agree

They think politicians can influence a Jamaican final court or CCJ. But not Privy Council

As a man said
'A call to Port of Spain is same as a call to Kingston. A call to London is a different thing'

Plus Privy Council now willing to hear cases in Caribbean

if you’re a sensitive woman, you better involve yourself in charity work or helping/working with children. pour all your love and nurturing into the poor, the weak, and children. it’s better than feeling motherly toward evil people just because you see the child in them.

Idk what all the doom and gloom is about …

[Nationwide90FM @NationwideRadio]

Justice and Constitutional Affairs Minister, Delroy Chuck, has called on parliamentarians to support the move to have the country’s final appellate court be in Jamaica.

Why?

[Kerry-Ann Morgan @patrioticjam]

@NationwideRadio It is regrettable but I firmly believe our final appellate court should remain at the Privy Council.

The #Jamaica Education Gender Gap: No Single Cause, No Simple Fix

(Photo: Martei Korley)

The performance gap is pervasive and measurable at every level. Girls consistently outperform boys from the Primary Exit Profile (PEP) examination onward, through CSEC at the secondary level, where the dropout rate is also higher for boys, and the gap is most dramatically visible at the tertiary level.

Nearly seven in ten students enrolled in Jamaican universities and other higher education institutions are women. Among female students who completed the primary exit exam, 73% went on to complete at least one CSEC subject, compared to just 53% of boys, and the gap at the CAPE (sixth form) level is even starker: 16.9% of girls versus 9% of boys.

The causes are layered and mutually reinforcing.

The Campbell SOE case has set a precedent for public interest standing on constitutional litigation but it’s shaky ground. You’re not wrong, one has to be sufficiently interested to have standing.

[Eastern st Andrew @OwenBar26940449]

@GlenDivo you only can challenge in court something that one has a personal dispute.

just getting up and challenge this unfair law has no standing.

but say I was doing an act and get arrested for practicing obeah, then you have standing.

it gas to impact you some how

turns out, reading voraciously, moving your body, loving people without keeping score, protecting your solitude, chasing nothing but your own growth, and occasionally staying out too late with people who make you laugh until it hurts is not a bad way to build a life.

[Nomcebo.M💋 @NomceboMasilel2]

As I continue to become a better woman,I’m really starting understand the importance of remaining silent. Not everything needs your input or opinion, not everyone deserves a reaction from you. Some situations are just meant to bring you out of character.

Kemelia Paul is gone.💔😭💔😭

I've been staring at my phone for the last hour trying to find the words. I still don't have them. I'm not sure they exist.

For weeks I spoke with her mother. I followed every update. Every surgery. Every fever. Every small victory, the moment she said she was cold, the moment the doctors said the tube was coming out, I held each one like it meant something. Because it did. Because SHE did.

I was planning to go see her this weekend. This weekend.

I never got to meet her. I never will.

Kemelia Paul was 13 years old. She was in Form 1 at Excelsior High School. She passed her exams and got into the school of her choice. She was somebody's firstborn. Somebody's whole world.

And he was brave. Brave enough to step between a violent man and someone she loved. Brave enough to take what was meant for someone else.

That bravery cost her everything.

To Josephine —

I don't have words big enough for what you're carrying tonight. I don't think such words exist in any language.

You fought for your daughter with everything you had. You walked those streets. You sourced those supplies. You sat beside that bed for weeks. You answered my calls when you had every reason to disconnect from the world entirely.

You did everything right. Everything.

And I am so deeply, deeply sorry that it still wasn't enough to keep her here.

I knew this child only through her mother's voice. Through a crumpled prescription. Through a GoFundMe flyer. Through updates that came in at odd hours that I would read and feel in my chest.

I didn't know her. But I am broken tonight.

I can only imagine what those who did know her are feeling right now.

Kemelia should be complaining about homework tonight.

She should be in her uniform on Monday morning.

She should have decades ahead of her, love, laughter, everything a life is supposed to hold.

Instead a violent man took all of that. In one moment. With one knife.

And Jamaica lost another child it could not protect.

Rest easy, Kemelia.

You were brave and beautiful and you deserved so much better from this world.

I'm sorry we couldn't bring you home.

I'm sorry. 💔😭💔😭💔🕊️

Why do businesses in Jamaica NOT answer the phone???

Why do I then literally have to go down there & stand up in a line for over 30mins just to ask a question that could’ve been answered over the phone!!!
