I guess that may be a talent to be popular.<\/p>\n<p>Talents are those who came from nothing and achieved something. That definition is also not the only definition.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, does Bolans Village (the St. Mary\u2019s South constituents) look at those people who left Antigua and Barbuda to study overseas and, while there, struggled until they achieved their goals without any kind of help from family or Antigua and Barbuda Government?<\/p>\n<p>Talent that is important for politics is turning zero ($0) into millions of dollars morally and legally through hard work? That is one of the talents Bolans should be looking for.<\/p>\n<p>Someone that the Antigua and Barbuda government refused in 2009 to give him a grant or loan so that he can achieve his dream of completing his law degree because the government stated there are too many attorneys\/law degree holders in Antigua and Barbuda. So, this talented person had to find ways to pay for his own law degree without help from family or the Antigua and Barbuda Government. Now that is talent.<\/p>\n<p>This individual still finds a way to complete such a law degree and other degrees without help from the government. A man who paid to complete his law degree out of pocket without help from his government is another example of talent.<\/p>\n<p>Must state that mother and father did help with the degrees prior to the law degree in the ways they can.<\/p>\n<p>Talent is being able to open an office\/business in Antigua so that Antiguan and Barbudan workers can be employed. With a decent salary starting from $1,000 a week to all the way up to $6,000 weekly for Antigua specialty workers. Are these numbers being furnished here in good faith?<\/p>\n<p>Talent is doing this while the Antigua and Barbuda government is delaying, blocking, or refusing to intervene so the person can get a vital tool that is needed to begin physical operations so that Antiguans and Barbudans, especially residents of Bolans Village, about 5 to 10 initially, is able to get hired by this business. \u00a0With a good-faith intent of eventually hiring 50 people. That is another talent that must be considered.<\/p>\n<p>Talent is not mere popularity or mainly about popularity, but it is about being able to do things that have substantial merit and National importance (impactful).<\/p>\n<p>These are the qualities the government, if they truly care about their people, focuses on, and not how popular an individual is but their potential impact, how well-positioned that person is to be of National benefit to that country and that can only be measured in achievements and potential and their heart (motives, ethics, honesty).<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the popularity of an individual is for those governments who are only focused on increasing their chances of staying in power but not about making substantial impacts on the life of the country\u2019s citizenry.<\/p>\n<p>But politicians are not only to be blamed but also to those citizenries, those Bolans residents, who literally care zero about substance. They do not focus on the person\u2019s actual ability to help them and intent to help but on the fact, they hate the other party or the person in their party is popular. It should be more than that.<\/p>\n<p>Look for talents who care so much for their family, friends and country that as soon as they achieve some finances, his family, the village and country are the first they spend money from their finances on.<\/p>\n<p>They spend their hard-earned money on you, without wanting anything in return, without intending to run in any politics, but from their heart they still give you and give to the country to better serve and protect you.<\/p>\n<p>Talent is being able to spend thousands of dollars to help a country who said to this same person, \u201cwe can not approve you for any grants or loans for law school\u201d because there are too many of those in Antigua and Barbuda. Leaving that person to hardship, homelessness, and other determinants while in a foreign land.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, that person found out that during 2008, 2009, 2010, folks connected to the government were getting grants and loans to study abroad in areas that included law. Talent is ignoring that evil that was done and still eager to help your country because the people you love will benefit.<\/p>\n<p>Talent is not about popularity. The best kind of talent I am telling the people of Antigua and Barbuda, specifically at this moment, village of Bolans Village, and the constituency of St. Mary\u2019s South, is seek the talents of a person who is able and willing to sacrifice their wants and needs for the benefit of the country, the constituency of St. Mary\u2019s south, and the village of Bolans.<\/p>\n<p>The greatest talent in politics is to have a loving, sharing and honest heart that puts the needs of the people first. I asked God how much you love us, he said this much, he died literally for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>He put his needs and wants to live aside and died for his constituencies (all of us). You need a politician that can die for you in various ways. Separately, you want a talent whose life reminds you of the scripture, Luke 16, chapter 10. It is about the heart where the talent in politics can truly be found.<\/p>\n<p>My people need to stop being ignorant and focus on the pith\/substance of the candidates they pick.<\/p>\n<p>My intent for the village of Bolans is to donate $50,000.00ec or about $100,000.00ec of my own money into a Bolans Village trust account where villagers can petition for money to be used for village purposes.<\/p>\n<p>They can also request grants in certain amounts for individuals, and small loans with either no interest or about 1% or 2% interest. This is the talent you need, people that can help, will help, and would truly put the community first.<\/p>\n<p>I do not want to be in politics because of ignorant, rude, illogical, and hostile a large percentage of the public is towards each other when it comes to politics and I am a man that wants to be friendly and have friendships with UPP, ABLP, NDA, INDEPENDENT, and any other party I am missing.<\/p>\n<p>I intend to do this, and the things I have already done and will continue to do, because I love you all. I want nothing from you. I will probably never in this lifetime enter politics, but I am surely going to share what I have with you.<\/p>\n<p>Please find a leader with similar talent, the heart. I will not say what I did for people during the pandemic, because I am not looking for praise or votes. I am trying to teach you to choose wisely your leaders.<\/p>\n<p>I am remembering in about 2009 while blogging on various local online newspapers, I said that ALP should be renamed ABLP so that the people of Barbuda can feel included. Look at ALP now. It is ABLP.<\/p>\n<p>I have never seen anyone prior to my constant posting for this change for ALP to be renamed ABLP in 2009 so that the people of Barbuda knows that we Antiguans love Barbuda, and they are part of us and we, a part of them. It was my way of helping.<\/p>\n<p>I am willing to sacrifice myself, for nothing, for the betterment of my family, friends, my Bolans village, and my country of birth, the United Islands of Antigua and Barbuda.<\/p>\n<p>Now, focus on the pith of things. Pick leaders that truly have the talent you vitally need.<\/p>\n<p>I was told that farmers in the village are losing their stocks from larceny\/theft. I have purchased equipment to donate to these Bolans farmers.<\/p>\n<p>I want to thank the gentleman with the moniker puskie for informing someone about these problems farmers are having. I have begun purchasing solutions for you, Bolans Farmers.<\/p>\n<p>I do this from my heart, and I do NOT intend to run in any political situation anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p>The talent comes from the heart, being honorable is the ultimate talent in politics. Being fair, reasonable and prudent.<\/p>\n<p>These are scarce traits in this current general political climate.<\/p>\n<p>I love you all and I will continue to do all I can morally and legally to help you Antigua and Barbuda, especially Bolans Village.<\/p>\n<p>ADDITIONAL HELP COMING FOR SCHOOLS, FARMERS, POLICE FORCE.<\/p>\n<p>****the above article should not be construed as this writer being against any of the candidates for St. Mary\u2019s South constituency which includes Bolans. Also, not intended to be for any of them.<\/p>\n<p>I would be friendly to all of them and want to see all of them do their best for Antigua and Barbuda, namely, Bolans Village*******<\/p>\n<p><strong>My way of helping<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/LgZXQuHl9MhCtCAAZEbcrd\">CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-990684684\" class=\"antig-paragraph-12\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/LgZXQuHl9MhCtCAAZEbcrd\">CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/LgZXQuHl9MhCtCAAZEbcrd\">CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"td-a-rec td-a-rec-id-content_inline tdi_2 td_block_template_1\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"antig-990684684\" class=\"antig-paragraph-12\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/LgZXQuHl9MhCtCAAZEbcrd\">CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/LgZXQuHl9MhCtCAAZEbcrd\">CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"td-a-rec td-a-rec-id-content_inline tdi_2 td_block_template_1\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"antig-990684684\" class=\"antig-paragraph-12\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/LgZXQuHl9MhCtCAAZEbcrd\">CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div id=\"antig-1995354626\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Editor,\u00a0 I do believe her line of questions was relevant, newsworthy and material.
