OK we now get to Nevis. Now why will a Guyanese living in Nevis, a horrfyingly expensive island, be obligated to send remittances to Guyana....this when he occupies some of the lowest wage occupations on that island.


Druggie you seem to agree with me that Guyana is a real mess to the point where Guyanese must fan out to obscure islands to generate incomes to assure their families back in Guyana can live decently.

The PPP has ru(i)n Guyana for 19 years. If after all that Guyanese must still flock to Nevis, Saba, Barbuda and other obscure places why are you so hopeful that things will improve. Indeed this mass migration to the islands exploded after 2000.


I told you many times that Guyana is an agricultural/mining economy. Those with sweet skin that don't want to dig for gold, farm or get educated will inevitably seek out the higher paying low skilled jobs in the islands. If these same people take their education, plant rice or dig for gold, they would live a higher standard than those in the Islands.
