Addressing the gathering, Marshall expressed profound gratitude for the recognition, saying, “I am thankful to the almighty God for bringing me out of poverty and living to see affluence in my country.”
He emphasized the transformative impact of key initiatives such as housing projects and the University of the West Indies on lifting communities out of poverty.

Another old renegade! Sad!!
Don’t come for me, useful idiots,
I’m giving my opinion on this public forum!🤔
You’re full of 💩 and smell of it 😎
@Sandra clarke…. The typical rantings of a blue fly. You should be the last to be calling people names, you non compos mentis nincompoop.
Blue fly??
I warned you, don’t come for me,
Useful idiot!!
That’s why you still throwing up water!!
Take a long, luxurious shower and then we can talk!😂😂
@Sandra clarke… Asshole… Water NEVER stopped flowing through my taps…. Never once had to “throw up water”. It is plain to see that you are one of those blue flies that don’t reside in Antigua.
Tek dat inna you nennen!
That’s my cousin Hugh Marshall Sr. My father’s first cousin. His story is not only amazing but earth shattering from his humble beginnings to one of the greatest icons of Antigua’s history.
Yep. Became a multimillionaire by selling off Barbuda sand. The rape of Barbuda continues with the theft of the lands by the same Labour government.
Tell your cousin to repent!!
Trupz!!
Was surprised he wasn’t wearing a dress.
@Straight talk….. That accolade belongs to former PLM (now UPP) minister, Donald Halstead. He left Antigua wearing a frock in the wake of the hydrofoil scandal that landed George Walter in prison. Halstead felt he was going to be implicated and left the country in a pretty-pretty frock.
