I think it's the fact that Dexta is one of the few men in dancehall who don't vilify women for their sexual needs/habits. He encourages women to be fully autonomous sexual beings & to be unapologetic about it. That's liberating & women are expressing that freedom in... many ways.
I disagree. She never once tried to fix him. She even said I don’t care about his sanity, I care about his happiness. Let him be mad if madness is what he needs. She loved him exactly the way he was and yes that was at great cost to her but everybody’s love cost something.
Undoubtedly, women are generally more attractive than men. But the ways that men are attractive are INSIDIOUS. Men will EFFORTLESSLY have the longest lashes, the most perfect naturally sculpted brows on the smoothest skin you’ve ever seen.
All with 5-in-1 body wash 😒
The interview with Nicki Minaj & Joe Budden was such a vibe. Their energy was electric & the flow of thoughts & ideas was so organic. It really got me thinking how interviewing is really an art. Anyone can buy a mic & start a podcast but there's so much skill that goes into it.
I do not have lotion in my car. I do not have hand sanitizer in my car. I do not have paper towels or water in my car. You know what I have in my car?
Rum.
Multiple flasks of rum. Two in the glove, one tucked inside the left passenger door & another stashed in the armrest.
The highest duty of ANY govt is to protect its citizens. In cases of disaster or war, your govt should activate all available diplomatic channels to get you home. That's one of the reasons states establish diplomatic relations. Otherwise what is your citizenship worth?
There is nothing I’d say on this app that I wouldn’t say in person. My face & full name are deliberately clearly identifiable. Social media is not my escape. I don’t come on here to pretend to be anyone else.
JUST IN: The House of Representatives is set for an emergency meeting tomorrow in an attempt at bringing the new Road Traffic Act into force.
The move is seen as an attempt at avoiding potential chaos on the nation's roads after an injunction was granted in the Supreme Court.
Yes she was nervous but they're all nervous. It's a competition. The judges should be looking for the candidate who demonstrates that they're prepared and perform well under pressure.
You only get one shot.
So let me get this straight… These private pharmacy operators want the govt to reduce support to vulnerable populations and pay govt pharmacists less so that they can make more money??
Some local pharmacists describe as gold-plated the National Health Fund programme under which private pharmacies collect a fraction of the cost of drugs from clients but are repaid the full cost of the medication on a weekly basis

to develop a specialization in Corporate Governance and Compliance with a view to strengthening the management and operation of public bodies.
The process of obtaining a driver's license or a MV fitness certificate in Jamaica is rife with corruption. I believe that there's a direct correlation between the erosion of those standards and the carnage & indiscipline we've grown accustomed to seeing on our roads.
The idea of being solely responsible for another human being is terrifying. Half the time I want somebody else to be responsible for ME. Also kids are HELLA expensive and (good) parenting is so time consuming.
I’m just here for a good time you know? It just seems like a lot.
Help me understand this...
NHT takes OUR contributions every month, invests it (accruing a massive surplus in the process) then uses it to fund developments that we can't even afford?
I think gonna be sick. 🥴
Y’all, I am sooooo GONE. I am a whole YAM. I am the Mayor of Yam Town and the President of Yam Corporation. I yammed yesterday, I am yamming today and I will surely yam tomorrow. Please do not send help. I am happy and comfortable here. Leave meeeeeee
Mayor of Kingston Delroy Williams is renewing his appeal to building contractors to desist from working on Sundays as not only is this illegal but also a noise inconvenience for residents.

Nope. No student is entitled a place on hall, it's entirely discretionary. Also, it makes perfect sense for persons occupying such close quarters to be vaccinated. If you choose not to be vaccinated, feel free to seek lodgings elsewhere. 🙃
Support Bookland! This bookstore is my favorite place in Kgn. Their collection is extensive (especially West Indian Lit) and the staff is so gracious.
If they had a lil cafe on the inside with pastries and a lil reading nook, I'd probably never leave. 😊
“This is our calling and this is what we love to do,” says Bookland co-owner, Suzzanne Lee, whose business has seen better days prior to the pandemic. Since then, Lee and her husband have had to finance the store with their own funds.

A massive fraud case has been uncovered at the Seprod Group.
Nationwide News understands that 17 employees of the company have been taken into custody in connection with the $159-million fraud probe.
More to details to come.
Right??? This is a problem we CAN fix. Let's audit the workforce, find what skillsets are in high demand & target high schools, skills training & tertiary institutions to offer those programs with decreased barriers to entry & low cost options. Why not invest in us??
Prime Minister, please send me the list of jobs that will be available. We will find the local skills and align them to the Job Descriptions. FYI we wont charge the persons seeking work. I get the feeling you already made promises to the developers about workers.
I do not support any anti industrial action legislation. People deserve a voice and an opportunity to let that voice be heard, irrespective of the nature of their employment.
Lol this is me with Nigerian twitter. Someone will begin a tweet in English and switch into a completely different language half way through and you can’t even get the joke. Then pure kikikikiki inna the comments.
I wanna laugh too!
"one of the only happy married men I've seen"
You need to widen your circle.
Also it's not a woman's job to "keep a man mentally healthy". That's his job. Maybe he's just good at taking care of himself. Maybe you need to be taking lessons from him.
Me personally nuh see the big deal with clothes pin and being colour coded and matching each color with a similar pin. Me pin board and plastic together. Not my people though. Member one day me wash and me aunty literally came home and re pin every single clothes so they match.
The government has announced a welfare package of almost $4 billion for struggling Jamaicans amid cries over rising prices for basic goods and services. That is in addition to the $3.5 billion of support unveiled in March.

I HATE THIS!
I work in a male dominated field and you wouldn't imagine the judgy, confused looks I get when I decline a request to take minutes.
Bro, I am just as qualified to be here as you are and your hands are not broken.
When I just moved into my current apartment, my friends came over and we all sat on the floor, drank rum outta plastic cups and kikikikiki whole night. They were just glad to be there and it meant everything to me.
Prime Minister Andrew Holness is urging citizens not to cause disruptions to the country’s stability by taking advantage of publicly contentious issues.
“How wicked and uncaring can this Government be such that the first thought is about penalising the parent? What about providing guidance and support to these youngsters?" Opposition spokesperson on Education, Dr Angela Brown Burke
It's fascinating to me that in the face of war, there are hundreds of Ukrainians lining up at blood banks to give blood, in case the conflict worsens and their fellow countrymen need it. 🥺
@Kemar_A_Brown
A working understanding of the guiding principles of constitutional reform and the capacity to add value to the process? I’m not seeing the connection here. Can you elaborate?
People are legit angry at this man for saying he and his wife don’t want to have kids.
I will never understand the obsession with trying to guilt or shame people into having children. I don’t get it. What is wrong with people???
I don't understand the objective of this initiative.
I'm not knocking the movement but you're not dispelling negative stigma by merely donning a suit. Where's the activism, the outreach, what are you doing to connect your ethos to the lives of the people you want to reach?
A group of dapperly dressed men confidently strutted through sections of Half-Way Tree last Friday afternoon in a flash mob that drew stares and admiration from passers-by.
I can confidently say I can have anyone I want because I only want people who want me. Unrequited love is just not my kink. Once I start to feel like my feelings aren't reciprocated, they just shrivel up and die like a raisin in the sun.
So instead of working to create opportunities for people to stay you’re calling them cowards for choosing not to struggle and suffer?
Just say you don’t care about people and go. It’s so obvious.
Montego Bay Deputy Mayor Richard Vernon has taken a swipe at Jamaican expatriates who seek greener pastures at the expense of developing their homeland.
Vernon insisted that patriotic youths should stay in Jamaica and build their country.

Lila Ike is working this crowd, so proud of her. Solid performance!
When she say “Thankful for the blessings that have fallen on my table..” the place went WILD! The screams were deafeningggggggg

Reddit is saying she’s not the asshole for this and the teenager lacks empathy but how are you gonna ask someone who does this for a living to do it and then be surprised when they ask about their pay?
If you're a man and you're uncomfortable wearing lingerie, get outta my DMs right nowwwwwww.
Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. I ain't got no time fa dattttt.
The harness! 😍
Once again, proving that the church coddles and protects all kinds of criminality. As a man of god, you were morally obligated to report that to the police.
After the revelation that dozens of account holders at SSL had been defrauded of billions of dollars, the Reverend Dr Devon Dick has disclosed that he counselled a woman in Dec who had defrauded a financial institution of a “significant amount of money”.
Knowing that I’m loved and supported by my parents is the ultimate confidence booster. Being certain that there’s always a place for me in their homes and at their tables makes me feel more… resilient.
This is a trash take. Nobody's dragging Winter Runner for moving on. They're dragging her (and rightfully so) for getting a man's whole ass name tattooed on her face.
Also, keep Beyonce's name out ya mouth.
There's a spirit of industrial action in the air and it's so inspiring. I'll probably be inconvenienced in some way at some point but I'm down for the cause. Historically this is the way our people have held govts accountable & effected immediate change to their circumstances.
The U.S. military maintains its sights on the vast resources of Latin America and the Caribbean, including the oil reserves discovered off the shores of Guyana.
“This hemisphere has the potential to feed and fuel the world.”
I’m telling you guys my 30 year old body is shitting on my 25 year old body. The thighs are plump, the titties are supple and the ass is bouncing!
However the belly is also you know… bellying. Unfortunately. 😒
Social commentator, Jaevion Nelson, says a series of public reports of corrupt practices in state entities, is evidence that there is now greater transparency in the public system.
Juici Beef and Tastee need to have more drive thru locations. Sometimes I really feel for a patty but can’t be bothered to find parking and walk into a restaurant. It’s also a highly convenient food to eat while driving so it makes total sense.
I am not a ride or die. I repeat, the dog is not in me. I was stuck on one level in candy crush for 2 days and I got mad and deleted the app. I WILL give tf up.
Girl bffr 😒
Many students forget they are the main stakeholders in the education process. Teachers do not exist to spoon feed you info, they lead you to the source & teach you how to extract it. There’s so much you can do for yourself if the teacher is absent for ANY reason.
The president of the National Secondary Students Council is hoping that school administrations will implement measures to make up for teaching time lost due to protest action this week.

I hate going to restaurants that don't take reservations. You mean I'm supposed to get dressed, pull up and just hope you have an available table or stand and wait? 😒
I don't think so.
The “political class” have no JDs or KPIs & act without accountability. Health & education sectors are failing & woefully inadequate, crime & corruption is brazen & rampant, inflation & lack of growth a bruck we neck & you gave yourselves a 200% RAISE??
You deserve the DISDAIN!
@mhrwilliams
Yes. If an employee is deemed "essential" then the employer's obligation to respond to their concerns are heightened & must be treated with significantly more priority & urgency. They can't be essential when you need them to be & the same as everyone else when convenient.
@gavinmyaz
If your business model isn’t competitive enough, you need to diversify or lock shop. You want the govt to make life harder for people so you can make a profit? Come on man.
@kingofkgn
Vaccination mandates are not unconstitutional, on the basis that the restriction would likely be determined by a court to be demonstrably justifiable given the public health risk.
