Kaieteur News – Well, well, well, look who decided to drop in pon we likkle piece a paradise! Bill, yuh finally make it to Guyana, eh? De Chronic seh you come fuh “learn about de country.” Bwoy, we bin didn’t know we had to teach people ’bout Guyana in person now. But hey, better late than never, right?
Dem boys been noticing someting funny lately. Seems like every world leader and people of importance suddenly wan’ tek a trip down to Guyana. Is like we start serving gold nuggets with we pepperpot or someting. But yuh know wah? Dem only start noticing we since we strike oil. It’s like we bin deh waving ’round here all dis time, and nobody ain’t pay we no mind till de oil start gushin’.
Imagine dis, we had one big shot non-resident ambassador from some far-off land. Dis man ain’t even know how Guyana spell till we hit de jackpot wid oil. Den guess wah happen? He suddenly decide he need fi see dis place for heself. And yuh know who he decide fuh talk to first? None odda dan de man who control who ask question at press conferences. Talk ’bout selective hearing, eh?
So, Bill, we hope yuh ready fi dive into de deep end ’cause Guyana got nuff tales to tell. We got leaders who sell we patrimony like it’s goin’ outta style. Dem could write a textbook on how to hustle de country’s resources faster dan yuh can seh “oil boom.”
As yuh step off de plane, Bill, get ready fi a crash course in Guyanese politics. We got more drama in one day than some soap operas see in a season. And don’t worry ’bout de press conferences – we got dem covered too. Who needs real journalists when yuh can have a friendly chat wid de man who play puppeteer wid de questions?
So, welcome to Guyana, Bill! Hope yuh packed a sense a humor ’cause yuh gon’ need it. And who knows, maybe when yuh leave, yuh’ll carry back more than just memories – maybe yuh’ll take home a newfound respect fi de hustle and bustle of life in dis likkle corner a de world. Enjoy yuh stay, Bill.
Talk Half! Leff Half!

(Kaieteur News) – For years, we have called May 5, “Arrival Day.” It is a name that sounds inclusive but, in reality, obscures more than it reveals. It is time to end the confusion and call the day what it was always intended to be: Indian Arrival Day. In 2003, during the tenure of the...Apr 19, 2026
