Cobra, this might be difficult for you to believe, but if you work with youth groups in Guyana, where many youth commit suicide, you will find many young adult male take their cue from Jagdeo lifestyle.
In some groups, guys would spit on young women face, when the women try defending themself because of a put-down by the guy. It is easy to see a trend where some men who are unable to communicate adaquately, turn to violence. If drugs and alcohol are added to the mix, the result is much more serious.
In one remote group, Jagdeo non-marriage was a big issue. Most guys feel women should be put in their place and they agree with Jagdeo kicking out his wife, even though they dont fully understand the reason.
Fortunate for some groups, the youth lives are stablizing with jobs, housing, marriage and starting a family.
My point is : the role model set by Jagdeo during his term in office has influenced negatively on many young men [and old], resulting in domestic violence and in some cases death of the woman.
