Yuh haffi have a good link

Dem seh when trouble tek yuh pickney shirt fit yuh but when yuh a squeeze inna di shirt mek sure yuh have a good lawyer fi help yuh go in deh.

The recent landmark ruling inna di Shanique Myrie case is one weh we can applaud and is a good look for the Caribbean Court of Justice as the final say-so court. Most a we did hear bout the case from when dem did deny her entry into Barbados and her allegation that she was given an improper cavity search. Many of us were quite upset about the situation especially knowing that this alleged atrocity happened at the hands of our CARICOM neighbour.

When di case try and dem bruk di pencil, dem award her some millions fi di denial of entry but say dem not taking responsibilty for the cavity search as there were some inconsistencies in the story. Mi never really expect much from this case because mi know the luck weh we Jamaicans have wid people and especially those in di neighbourhood so mi happy she at least get something. Cause when me a listen di case and a hear some a di submission dem weh dem a mek like a lie di girl a tell, mi did a wonder what the outcome would have been. I just hope that what Miss Myrie has been through no one else will have to go through cause no amount of money can restore yuh pride and yuh dignity and remove that feeling of violation and discrimination.

When mi hear how di case pan out mi haffi seh to miself yuh haffi have a good lawyer link! Cause sometimes anno who you know is who know you so that yuh can get things done and get the ball rolling! An when mi seh "links" mi naa talk fi do nutten illegal or illicit...mi a talk bout a "links" fi just expedite a process and mek life easier.

problem

For example, wah day yah my radiator buss and is a good ting mi have mi "mechanic link", tyre puncture is a good ting mi have a "good man link", if teef a try bruk inna yuh house yuh haffi have a "good-fass neighbour link" fi mek sure yuh know exactly wat a gwaan! Yuh haffi have a good link all over because yuh no know wah kinda problem or shortage yuh can buck up inna and a dem same one a go help yuh out. Yuh haffi have a "true-friend link", one weh yuh can tell yuh business and dem can give yuh advice objectively and yuh don't haffi fret if yuh business a go reach back outta road! Yuh haffi have a "farin family or friend link" so if yuh run low pon nutten dem can send either cash or kind! Yuh haffi have a good "doctor link" so dat in case a any ataclapse yuh can link dem and dem tell yuh wah fi do, weh fi buy or wah fi tek fi it!

It essential fi have a good "bank and tax office link" so dem can at least call and tell yuh when di place empty instead a fi go up deh and stand up inna di judgement line dem whole day. Unnu gwaan like unnu nuh know seh a "wharf link" is very important cause if yuh want fi know weh fi go and wah paper fi sign up fi move the process fast...yuh betta know a "linky"!

funeral home link

Di way di country a move right now it look like we might need fi have a "funeral home link" because everyday it a get worse! Some people like fi act like dem bills surprise dem every month! Mi woulda recommend a good "pastor link" so him can pray fi yuh in your time of trouble and problem or even just fi uplift yuh in di name a Jesus!

Links mek di worl go round and is the link dat link di link and mek di link link! And try get a "link" weh can tell yuh which part dutty badmind people deh so yuh can stay from dem and shun di very appearance of evil and liad! Get a "link" weh a deal wid progress and forward movement and positivity! Mi a unnu STAR link so mi will link unnu next week!
