Reply to "Who is this Guy ? Castigating the bestest Economist in Guyana."

A bright kid...and he is writing like an economist. I hope he becomes one and decides to make Guyana his home

However,  if he had stuck to the economic issues he is writing about instead of throwing dirt on a popular (despite what some of us think about Jagdeo) politician, he would have come across as having more credibility. Aside from his astuteness, he comes across as someone who takes the same PNC line to discredit the former president (as much as he may deserve it). Here is an example of what Saiied said below in this quote below. It was widely reported already that the PPP, Donald Ramotar and others had already made this an issue by clearly stating that the PNC was taking land away from Africans. I do not recall where in the media the PPP and Jagdeo made such statements as this young man is claiming. He is being dishonest or misinformed.

Had Mr Jagdeo shed the ethnocentric lens in his glasses through which he perceives Guyanese politics, he would have noticed that nine of the plaintiffs in the two court cases which eventually reversed the revocations are Black farmers. So my point, based on my reading of the situation, is that the verdict is not necessarily out on this question of "snatching land". Jagdeo has a right to sound the alarm as this is only going to further divide the Guyanese people.

In addition, youth cannot substitute "smarts" for experience. Regarding the land issue, the PNC, with the land COI, and judging by the remarks made by members of ACDA, seems to be a driven journey to take land away from Native Indians and, possible Indians. They are saying that Blacks deserve "reparations" for "chattel slavery". No one can disagree with this, but Amerindians and Indians do not have to suffer or provide reparations to Africans because they deserve it.  Amerindians deserve the land they have and Indians also deserve reparations....my point is that the claim about "ancestral land" is a scam.  

Finally, Django, you are being a knucklehead, especially with the title you placed on this thread. Perhaps you are driven by the same dislike for Jagdeo as Saiied. Your half-slip is showing buddy.  

 

"The mendacity of Mr Jagdeo’s remarks at the July, 2016 event flared brightest in his assertion that the government was “snatching people’s land that has transport”, an apparent reference to the foolhardy revocation by President David Granger and the Mahaica-Mahaicony-Abary Agricultural Development Authority (MMA-ADA) of leases granted by former President Donald Ramotar to rice farmers in the West Coast Berbice region. Judging by the theme of Mr Jagdeo’s speech, the ex-President is implying that that too is another salvo in the current government’s economic war against Indo-Guyanese.

Had Mr Jagdeo shed the ethnocentric lens in his glasses through which he perceives Guyanese politics, he would have noticed that nine of the plaintiffs in the two court cases which eventually reversed the revocations are Black farmers."


 

The above is what Saieed said,nothing to do with reparations.

Suh who is the "knucklehead" eh bhai.
