Passengers Protest, Disembark Bus of Reckless Driver

Minibus accidents are frequent in Guyana, and it is largely due to reckless drivers, coupled with the complacency of the passengers who allow them to drive as they please. However, here is one case where all the passengers “held one head” and demanded their rights to safe travel – thus making Guyana’s roadways a tad pit safer. These passengers need to be praised for their heroic act as they have potentially saved the lives of countless people – and themselves.

A young girl child of Golden Grove Secondary School, Region 4, Guyana, South America, has suffered a concussion to her head with the risk of internal bleeding after being pushed into a concrete wall by a fellow student.

Guyanese Citizen Living in London Paints Dismal Picture of “Life in London”

Many Guyanese seem overhyped about this development, but the truth it is, the newfound privilege is not as glorious for the average citizen as it may seem on the surface. Yes, it does mean that the Guyanese passport has gotten a tad bid stronger. It does mean that other first world countries might consider granting visa-free travel to Guyana as well, and it does mean that Guyana’s oil wealth is talking. But this privilege, most all might agree, is geared mostly to the upper class or the financially wealthy.

Letter: High Level of Incompetence at DHL Guyana

DHL is a worldwide shipping and logistics company which delivers packages with speed and efficiency. However, when it comes to Guyana, the general incompetence and airheadedness existing across the country takes over – making it difficult for people to do business with Guyana in general, and serving as a strong deterrent to progress in the country. This incompetence is replicated in various sectors across the country keeping Guyana in the stone ages while other countries keep advancing at the speed of light.

A teacher attached to the Skeldon High School in Region 6 alleges that he was assaulted by one Mr. Linden Murray after he disputed scores during the sporting event.

Can we allow our country to spiral down such a troubling path?

The Tragic Death of Analee Gonsalves

After nearly two months of suffering at the West Demerara Hospital in Region 3, Guyana, South America, 20-year-old Analee Gonsalves died today, 14th of October, 2022 while receiving medical care. Her death is one of the most tragic in the history of Guyana not only because of the painful way in which she died, but also the fact that she was murdered by a man whose duty was to love and protect her. Compounding the tragedy is the fact that she leaves behind two young children who will be left to grow up without a mother, because she is dead, and also without a father, because he is clearly incapable and the justice system will put him away (hopefully).

Traditional 7-Curry Dish Grossly Misrepresented – Dr. Josh Kanhai

However, one of his videos depicting seven curry has drawn a negative reaction from a section of the Guyanese population – emotions ranging from disgust to anger. According to people who know better, the traditional, famous seven curry – has been grossly misrepresented – not by the European influencer who is helplessly ignorant of the correct ingredients, but by the Guyanese restaurant owner who was introducing the dish to him.
