@Owenpalmerems Avoid these people in real life. Who knows when you might be on the other end of “there must be a reason why you deserved this”? There is no excuse for abusing another human being, the mother of your child, a woman who is obviously not fighting you back.
@Owenpalmerems I hope we are taking note of the people under this post who are victim blaming. The ones who saw a video of a human being kicked and stomped by what is supposed to be another human and took their thumbs to type “sometimes people lose control” or “women provoke/irritate men”, etc
Waiting for the rules are rules crew to run in and explain it was ok to make girls lift up their skirts to check they were wearing slips bcz... rules are rules.
At UWI, when students from foreign countries speak of how their govt takes care of them. Jamaicans stay quiet because we can't relate because even requesting govt help in an emergency is called entitlement.
I lived on hall with students whose governments would send a plane for their students when there was a tropical storm. I don't understand why we are acting like this is a foreign concept.
What those Jamaican students in Ukraine don’t owe you:
1. Any explanation why they rejected the loan.
2. Any explanation why they studied abroad in Ukraine.
3. Any explanation of their financial situation.
Let’s hold them in care, if there is any possibility for them to
@NestaJA 2/2 These students were between a rock and a hard place and each made different decisions in an attempt to secure their best interests and manage competing priorities, all while seeking assurances. Enough gaslighting. What can be done now? They’re still alive and still need help
@NestaJA 1/2 The amount of energy being spent trying to prove that the government is “right” is indicative of there being a greater interest in being right than there is in finding ways to help and troubleshooting alternatives.
We told the MFAFT that some schools were not observing the threats and that some JA students were told they would be expelled if they left the country. We asked the MFAFT to personally write to these schools to have us withdrawn as with more authority they could better assist.
Why are they there? Why didn't they leave? Why don't they just come home? Why didn't they take the loan? Maybe try to understand people's situations before you spout off with your lack of humanity. #UkraineConflict
Always amazes me how little compassion ppl have. Kids from poor families trying to do better for themselves. Couldn't afford to go to school here, find a course of study they could afford on the other side of the world. Now war. And instead of compassion, self-righteousness. Wow
BOJ and FSC has just stopped Broker dealers for doing USD Bond transactions for their clients for 6 months … does this also apply to Commercial Banks @CentralBankJA ?
I don't know of any law that prevents an employer from paying a minimum wage earner more than the minimum wage. If you can afford to pay your housekeeper 20G per week then what's stopping you?
Offer them a bonus/a bag of groceries/a drive off the hill. What's stopping you???
