Home-coming!! Why didnt they all contributed a small amout towards the betterment or improvement of our social status here.

“The government…shopping up to $35 million in government bonds to the participants of Homecoming.”…isnt hat downright ridiculous and stupid, stupid, stupid…yet, government cannot get or reufuse or lapsing on the 30% (the remaining 70% is being provided by the IIT) to facilitate the scholarships of 75 young, ambitious, intelligent St.Lucians to study at the Illinois Institute of Techonology -IIT.

Would not the present government prefer to provide the technological know-how to these young ppl (where, upon attaining these knowledge and know how, it could be plough back into the economy), rather than facilitate such non-sense and fanfare?

What was the end results of this home-coming? What did St Lucia achieve from this, while the tax payers had to, according to the government statement, “The government even had one of the region’s financial firms—CMMB—shopping up to $35 million in government bonds to the participants of Homecoming”…so everyone came down, rub shouders, drank and be merry, tried to be a big shot (with the assistance of government) while the poor tax payers were left with the shorter end of the stick.

I do not believe that!! Is this for real? “The government even had one of the region’s financial firms—CMMB—shopping up to $35 million in government bonds to the participants of Homecoming.”…Meanwhile 75 bright, intelligent young people are about to be denied only 30% of the tuition to study degrees such as engineering, physic, information technology, etc at the Illinois Institute of Technology IIT.

Then, another 1 million dollars were given to carnival, so that people could carry on obnoxiously - driking and driving, displaying all kinds of lewd conducts, distroying private properties without a care, etc. etc…

The audacity of this present govenment knows no bound!! And to even spell it out loud…

Lord God, what a group!!…These are our leaders!! They sure has their priorities right!!

Don't politicize everything please. I am from the diaspora and trust me, nobody ever wanted to leave, we just had to. We always keep those words very close to our hearts, "Love the land that gave us birth." So you people have no idea how hard it was to leave everything behind in search of better opportunities.

What about those folks that ripped-off the poor Lucian folks through government and private companies and ran away to those big countries to avoid being apprehended. Seven years hence, are they part of the diaspora?
Check the backgrounds of the 'awardees' and you may find one or two who slipped through the crack and now are back as innocent patrons.
