Thing fuh laugh does mek big man cry. A man tek on a job to build a monument. Is nuff money so de man got to smile because as old people seh, is nice to smile all de way to de bank. People develop de habit to do kak wuk so every time dem have a job to do is kak. Dem boys seh that dem believe in de saying, “No tricks; no living.”
De monument was to done fuh last week but all de people find was a pile of bruck up concrete blocks and sand. De monument collapse.
De people who investigate report all de faults, right down to de fact that dem man dig sand from de seawall. It tun out that de sand just couldn’t wuk.
When de monument collapse is right deh de crying start. De money de contractor did intend to pocket he got to spend back. Other people now laughing.
Is de same thing happen when Jagdeo give out nuff contract to build house fuh poor people. De contractors put some kak wuk pun de people who give dem de contract. Even before de people move in de house had serious problems. People could stand inside sand see outside without looking through a window.
