It would seem in the 60s Jagan asked the people to trust the PPP and become faithful followers.  To a certain extent the people needs were met.

Then comes the 90s with Jagdeo, whose method of governance  was greed, nastiness and vindictiveness.

The people had a corrupt leader, but remained followers.

This left the people high,dry and more important, with inadequate tools to deal with personal challenges.

Their families were broken and children had their own way, influenced by Jagdeo's leadership.  

Indians in Guyana seems wired for a fight at the least provocation, because they were not taught how to deal with stresses and depression.

Thus Indians commit suicide more than any other race in Guyana.          

Banna,

I usually used the term loosely, but you are a true knucklehead:

Indians in Guyana seems wired for a fight at the least provocation, because they were not taught how to deal with stresses and depression.

What does this statement mean? You saying the PPP cause Indians to commit suicide??

Stop being a psychologist...go tend to them cows.

From the comfort of your assram, what do you contribute to suicide in Guyana ? 

I am sure there are lots of reasons that learned people will give...but none will give this silly reason you posted here. Its a complicated issue. You are trivializing the matter, especiallt when we have so many people committing suicide.

By your twisted logic, the PPP would be responsible for the death of Robin Williams. 

You and Mits are so blinded by hatred for the PPP and Jagdeo that you guys seems to get off posting this kind of schupidness.

Hey, we know that you are not the brightest bulb on the Chandelier. Anyway, how do you contribute towards the prevention of suicides in Guyana? Tola was there on the ground with professional help and his group met a lot of push around and demands for bribes for the PPP/Cronies. You write like your IQ starts with a decimal point.

Did you read his comment as to his reason for the Suicides? You guys cant seem to think outside the box. PPP caused suicides? All that time on the ground and this is what he comes up with???   

Vish, let's say the PPP did not cause suicides, no problem. What they did not do was try to curb it, instead they chased away those who wanted to help because they (PPP) couldn't get anything out of it, nothing was in it for them...no $$$$$ passed hands....got it now?

HEHEHE  What great wisdom on display today.

maybe u is not drunk today

As we read in another thread about a building that should have been used for those seeking assistance but instead went to a PPP crony...with that building there would be a place for someone with mental problems to go...a kind of safe house. Now there's no where for them to go but wind up at the bottom of a creek, a waterfall, or perhaps they take a special drink....

Isn't this something that should be held against the PPP Govt?

Please point out where he stated "PPP caused suicides".

DID PPP METHOD OF GOVERNANCE CONTRIBUTED TO SUICIDE IN GUYANA ?

I am thrilled that we have a professional with the expertise to lend a hand in suicide prevention.  I am curious though about the words highlighted in red.  Who in the PPP chased you away?  And why did they want $$$$?  Are you a part of an NGO that provides volunteer services?

Interesting.  Thanks.  Can someone resurrect this project under the new government?  I know Terry Gajraj and the Save Abee Foundation along with the PPP built several children's home for orphans, runaway kids and teenagers like Camal Home, Anjuman Orphanage, Canaan Children's Home, Hauraruni Girls Home, Mahaica Children Home, St. John Basco Boys Orphanage, Shaheed Girls Orphanage, St. Ann's Girls Orphanage, Cornelia Ida Children's Home, Drop in Centre.  The work is still ongoing. 

Nehru - Lakshmee, Terry Gajraj, and Deeraj Gayaram are holding food drives and toy drives over the next few weeks to send to these homes and orphanages I listed above. There are 21 in all.  You all please come out and support and give what you can to help these children.  I bet Vish M. has more information.  Please and thank you!!!!

How do you reconcile these 21 orphanages that rely greatly on remittances with the accumulation of wealth and  the mansions built by the PPP aristocrats?

Did you write this SHIT yourself or you copied from a RETARDED idiot.???

Tola, you and I are good friends and I have a high regard for you but I definitely think you're reading the tea leaves the wrong way here.

Politicizing suicides in Guyana is counter-productive and does not target the real causes of this mammoth social problem.

It is true, as your experience in Berbice showed, that certain known PPP officials frustrated well-meaning NGO efforts to educate people on stress management, conflict resolution and suicide prevention. But it is a terribly big blunder to conclude that the PPP has contributed to the rise of suicides.

Tola has lost his marbles. Someone recently rightfully asked if he has spent so much time in Guyana on suicide prevention and cure, if the current condition is not an indictment on him. Seems like he should look into the mirror instead of losing sleep over the PPP.

Thats what I been saying. That banna spend too much time chasing that bull cow. 

Look closely at the picture. You will see Dharti Gaiyaa. Dharti is the earth, Gaiyaa is the cow. They both represent our survival, sustenance, nourishment, food, means of living, livelihood or income. Not suicide.

Arright, guys, I won't let y'all tek advantage ova me friend Tola. Enuff is enuff. Have some mercy now.

Seriously, we have to put ourselves in Tola's shoes to understand his frustration over what his suicide-prevention group experienced in Guyana. For a number of years Tola and his colleagues took time off their regular professions to do voluntary work in Guyana, particularly in Berbice. In the end they got no thanks and some petty PPP bureaucrats pissed them off. Tola is one of the most socially conscious guys I know. He is a top-rated photographer whose pictures have appeared in Canadian and international publications. Before the last elections, Tola was prepared to volunteer his time and talent to photo-shoot the AFC campaign free of cost. The AFC had other plans, unfortunately.

Good observation...never looked at it this way. Now we know you a one professor and a pandit too?

I think you are a good person and you are just being wutlis.
