So if they can bring Burna Boy and Rick Ross then they can bring other international artists....other genres exist ...

Specifically, St. George’s Cathedral. We all know the roots of that church. White supremacy and colonialism.

I personally am agnostic so of course as a Guyanese native I’d say we should abolish it given its roots.

That religion was once used to justify enslaving our ancestors. I know it isn’t use to do that today but most of the practicing Catholics in Guyana found their way to Catholicism through colonialism from the Europeans more specially the British.

I just think it’s insane how that religion of all of them found its way to the Caribbean. It’s also insane that Guyanese people practice it given its roots but that’s my opinion.

Overall, what’re your thoughts? Do you agree with abolishing it ?

Hey, I've been trying to find this movie for quite some time, but I haven't had luck so far. If anyone has tips on how to make it happen< I will be eternally grateful. "Aggro Seizeman" 1975

I have a friend with family in Essequibo. He is really excited about all the news about oil and I'm glad for him but this is a story we've seen over and over again in history.

A poor country gets oil.

Do the people benefit?

Rarely. The corporations and politicians do.

Can anyone tell me different? How different is his families life going to be?

I'm brazillian and i'm planning on arriving at Lethem by foot, how is this route from Lethem to Georgetown?
I bet its some hard roads, could you guys please give me some advice like, if it is common to people to offer these services going from Lethem, if its better to go on dry season and stuff like that, would be much appreciated. Also, my grandmother is guyanese, if any of you could provide additional information if the trip from Lethem to Ambrose Village, also known as Potarinau Village, is too long or hard would also be helpful. Thanks

I'm planning to live some time in Guyana, i'm from Brazil (Northearsten region). And i just want to know one thing, there is someplace with a great islamic community? I'm Muslim. And what do you all recommend me to do and not to do?

Thank you for answering and sorry for my bad english. God bless you all

Are these people trying to run a freaking ice box?
I went to both West Central mall and Amazonia mall movies and the AC was cranked up so high that the temperature in a 10m high movie theatre was lower than freaking 15°C (59°F). Like wtf, it's colder than a cold Autumn day in Europe or the US. People were coughing and sneezing and shivering. Not just me. Like I get AC feels nice in a tropical country. But this is way wayyy out of hand. And I say that coming from Switzerland and being used to colder weather. Like are they seriously expecting people to carry blankets and scarfs into the cinema?

It's a temperature drop of like 15°, that can actually give people cold shocks and hypothermia. How is this even allowed?

Sorry for the rant but I simply don't understand this.

Someone plz help me define this word lol.

Economy wise, job wise, cost of living, politics, crimes & violence to heath care. Are people happy with Guyana in its current state?

Currently Guyanese immigrants are the 5th largest immigrant population in NYC. Can someone explain to me why out of all the places to go in the world Guyanese people are moving to the most expensive city in the world (I’m not being dramatic it’s actually the most expensive city in the world)? A majority of us aren’t rich and most if not all of us definitely don’t have the money to maintain the cost of living in NYC.

wtf is goin on?

I partly think this is because of how well NYC is marketed to foreigners everywhere but when you get here you realize it’s the complete opposite. The city is nasty, the people are mean, everything is expensive, the government programs are trash, and there’s a very shallow culture here. Also, although NYC is diverse you’ll still face a lot of racism and xenophobia.

Not to mention healthcare is damn near unaffordable in America but especially in NYC.

So why the heck are most Guyanese people moving to NYC? It just doesn’t seem worth it compared to places in Europe.

Edit:

I just want to make it clear I’m not judging anyone nor am I saying people shouldn’t move out of Guyana (or back to Guyana). I’m just saying right now there’s much better options out there with the (same citizenship requirements) for us other than NY and Canada.

https://www.csis.org/analysis/guyanese-diaspora

We have a strong population in the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Belgium.

We also have a growing presence in Iceland, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Greece, Finland, etc. (see link for more)

https://www.csis.org/analysis/guyanese-diaspora

All I’m saying is these options are better than New York and Canada present day. A lot of Guyanese people followed others to NYC and Canada given the lenient immigrant policy back in the day but not we have better options that have similar immigration policy requirements.

In most of Europe your healthcare and school would be covered and that goes a long way for many Guyanese immigrants (who’re often less fortunate). That’s all I’m saying.

My mom followed her sisters and moved to NYC in 2008 during a financial crisis and that shit was brutal. there’s no need to be do that to yourselves.

I also want to add quality of life in the EU is ranked higher than Canada and America. Also food is safer to consume in the EU.

I’m NOT HATING IN ANYONE WHO MADE TO NYC OR CANADA. Ik that shit hard as I had to do it myself. We got better options out there tho.

I'm wondering where you get your lip balms, and what brand do you get?

I tend to see really cheap, artificially flavored ones and I hate those. They're sticky and do nothing for the health of my lips. Are there any proper lip balms you guys know and would recommend?

You lot are always so helpful, thanks!

Genuinely asking because I know we have a serious crisis as we currently have the second highest suicide rate in the world.

I personally don’t know anyone but my parents knew a handful of people that committed suicide.
