CONGRATS girl!! Wish you the very best in your endeavors.
She lives in Barbados, why does the voice give a crap?
Congrats to the professor! Congratulations to St. Lucia. Now St. Lucia can take a copy of the paper with the report on her overseas achievements to our local supermarket and exchange that for our grocery bills. Wow! Great! Mr. Editor, we can now reduce our 40% poverty rate. Cheer up lads! We are doing just fine! Our 25% rate of unemployment will now totally disappear! King will now be able to manufacture more GDP from thin air!
Big Deal!!! Right here in St Lucia we have human rights workers? I wonder why she was not actively speaking when her husband and his government use to discriminate against other St Lucians. Human rights for Human rights, I will take my chances with Martinus. Atleast he is consistent!!!
by the way this is a terrible picture of the lady. I almost mistook her for a doll.
LOL...
Congratulations on your wonderful accomplishment.
The people who have nonsense to say are jealous
Above, what are you laughing about/at? Do you have Mrs Antoine credentials or accomplishments?
While Mrs Antoine is moving on up, silly you sits by the wayside scratching and laughing, barely able to afford a loaf of bread.
And her dear husband is partly responsible for my sitting there with nothing to do or nothing to eat. People in their ivory towers write and write and write. They accomplish little else.
How come the story was not taken from a Trinidad newspaper where the accomplished lady was born? What? They did not see this as the national big deal that the Voice of St. Lucia is blowing out of proportions for someone who is essentially a non-St. Lucian?
The Voice is fast becoming like the Star. It is so much focused on people that it is losing sight of the need to stir up emotions and curiousity about a national focus for national development.
Some of you seem jealous of the lady's success, and the success of anyone else for that matter.
The way I see it, there are 2 sets of people in St Lucia:
Type 1-the type who from very young in school, are very focused and goal oriented. They work extremely hard in some cases to achieve those grades, even staying up late at night when everyone else is sleeping, to study .Upon leaving school and landing a job, instead of spending $200+ each weekend to go to the various "fetes," this person invests that money in his/her education and in acquiring property. End result? In 20 years' time, that person has a solid educational background to rely on, and also owns property.Mrs Anthony and others fall into this group!
Type 2- they expect everything to come easily in life. They put very little effort into school work. Upon leaving school and landing a job, they are the type who spend $200+ each and every week partying and "feting", with little care for anything else.End result? In 20 years' time, these people are still partying, with no property, basic education, and little else to show.They then become exceedingly bitter and jealous, and spew venom at anyone else who is "successful."
People, against all odds(and I had many) you ultimately decide which set of people you fall into. If you choose group 2, then please don't be jealous of group 1.
Re-assess how you live your lives, and how you prioritize use of your money.
for real, you are right, she does look like a doll. I thought something was strange and you just confirmed it. LOL
To the person who says the Kodos should go to Martinus Francois, I am with you all the way.
It's just ironic how people like Mrs. Anthony and her husband believes that these kinds of lobbied "acccomplishments" will set them apart from people like Martinus who work their butts off every day trying to defend human rights in our country.
These people just want the St Lucia to notice them. It's like their flags have flown unnotice for too long.
I personally will write to the human rights commission, and challenge her appointment. Her is a woman whose husband violated the basic rights of some St Lucians to a working in their own countr. It was under his watch that a group of zealots in the SLP sought to pass "affirmative action". Thanks to Bro George, this move was blocked.
That is personal achievement. That is all good and well. Good for her. But what is the ultimate test of all this national publicity? WHETHER OR NOT THAT LADY'S LIFE PLAYS A CRITICAL ROLE IN ALL, ALL PHASES OF THE LIVES OF ST. LUCIANS. If this is so, then we can celebrate HER achievements in a NATIONAL newspaper.
Everything else is pure and empty rhetoric and BS about achievement. The Voice is supposed to be a national newspaper.
The lady is NOT a national, nor is she a national figure. At least she is not reported to have taken out St. Lucian citizenship.
Since Compton so debased and cheapened it, we give that away so cheaply, citizenship has lost both its meaning and value. It does not even get consideration today.
St. Lucians live in a fog of alcoholic or beer-induced stupor. They can not think clearly and least of all, for themselves. That is why BS-ers Sam Flood, Rick and Tim are such national icons.
If I am not mistaken, a lucian woman MARA THOMPSON was married to the late PM of Barbados DAVID THOMPSON. She contested his seat after he died and WON in BARBADOS where she was NOT born. Lucians congratulated her and applauded her achievements. Lucian were angry when Bajans were upset that a FOREIGNER came into their country and dared to run for elections. So what now is your problem with Ms. Antoine?
Today, Ms Antoine's achievements which have little if anything to with St. lucia are chastised? I maintain that those people who have negative things to say are JEALOUS individuals.
This will be the day when I will redicule King's wife, but praise Kenny's foreign wife for some purchased accomplishment.
If it have nothing to do with St Lucia, why report it in a St Lucian newspaper?
It's the politically concious mind of the Anthony's ---Stupid!!
This is crass politicking! The lady is not being denied anything here. It is only that this recognition is not St. Lucia's gain. It has little to do with St. Lucia. It is overblown.
Her contribution to the Labour Code is much more significant. Yet, because it went nowhere, it is not a huge and remarkable achievement either. It is just another document.
It is therefore a humongous RED HERRING to bring up the Maria Thompson issue. That is comparing apples and oranges.
You sound like Juke Bois, big-brawn small-brain Rick, and Tim conjoined at the head. Not everybody in St. Lucia is an ass, you know.
The lady is Trinidadian. She commutes from Barbados. We don't know that she has taken out St. Lucian citizenship. It is Trinidad's right to celebrate and not St. Lucia.
It is her personal gain and not ours. Stop trying to bask in the reflection of other people's glory. Earn your own darn laurels.
As a St. Lucian, I lived most of my life in London. It has always been my intention to return home upon achieving my degree in my interest.
However I just cannot associate myself with such hypocrites who express a poor sense negativity as in the case of some ill-fated bloggers herein. I am definitely reconsidering my intention in returning to a mentally sick society.
That's right. Please stay in London where you may find employment in the service of your slave masters.
What the heck does that award have to do with St. Lucia?
It's not an award, fool; it's an elected position, fool.
Does it mean the voice is not suppose to report on caribbean news, only local news....no wonder you live under a rock, fool.....
Jackass above, because you know little about the use of English, does not mean that everyone else doesn't. When you get around to being more knowledgeable, ask the Voice to choose the words to their banner headlines more carefully.
In all those Inter-American this and Caribbean that associated with Latin America, the English-speaking Caribbean do not even get the equivalent of a footnote. The Spanish-speaking bloc is what that gets highlighted.
Countries like St. Lucia are already marginalised. Even the European Union requires us to benefit from their 'largesse' by going the the Dominican Republic. How does St. Lucia benefit from this award again, house slave?
what color are your undies today..should i ask the bajan authorities? lol
can anyone tell me whatever happened to kenny anthony's first wife Angela Husbands?
