Antiguan Graduate Inspires with Convocation Speech in New Mexico
Kadeem Ladoo, a graduate from Antigua and Barbuda, delivered a powerful and heartfelt speech as the graduate speaker at the Anderson School of Management’s convocation ceremony in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Congratulations and please immediately file for EB-2NIW greencard. You need no sponsor and will practically use your degree only for the greencard. I am trying to help as many as possible you are in S.T.EM so approval will be less complicated. File now, the wait time is about 11 months for a visa number (maybe less).
On the flip side @mywayofhelping, you will tell those who graduate in Antigua but from another island or country to go back where they came from or imply they should not hold a position simply on the bases of nationality or race, regardless of qualification and experience. Yet, the USA should grant this graduate a green card. Thank god for our president Trump.

@annoyed, I do not understand what you wrote. But this accomplished person in the article should go where he is being requested, USA, that is why they give you (us) a greencard based on advanve degree or exceptional ability, EB-2NIW.
MY OFFICE IS AVAILABLE TO HELP YOU TOO @ANNOYED. I AM HERE FOR YOU. 80% OF MY CLIENTS ARE JAMAICANS.
Doesn’t matter how they celebrate you, stay outside and get internship to come home with, we have too many Antiguan who are glowing academic on papers but nothing in substance, our present engineers are an example, surveyors who draw plans for a road to cut in a hill that is steep vertically instead of spiral or snake or “S” with people running off into houses and been killed, look at potters road coming down from Scotts hill and also sugar ridge hotel roads going vertically up the hill where concrete truck killed someone there, the APUA electricity manager who allow a power plant to fail because of lack of engineering capacity plus fiduciary trust, the road engineers are just the tip of the iceberg, so congratulations brother but get the internship, don’t let them dupe you into coming home to job entitlement by politics or family connection .
@annoyed and @eldread … I am the American-South Side of Chicago Sista holding your flag along with Senior Ladoo, and the mother of a very close friend of Kadeem’s, who graduated in May of this year. I had the honor of witnessing Kadeem share his heart felt address after he lovingly asked to be at his graduation a week earlier. I drove 1200 miles from Chicago to New Mexico to witness and celebrate him, as God allowed your country’s son win and shine as the spirited blessing he is to us all.
@Annoyed and @eldred, I am being utterly angered that you would shame yourself and your country to use this shining platform for your political agenda. It’s no doubt and not surprising the likes of a trump (not capitalized in error) supporter to carelessly highjack and blemish the much deserved valor of shining jewel like bird bowel on a windshield as you have in your responses. Like trump, what you so ignorantly don’t know, without sharing details, Kadeem has irons in the fire to help Caribbean youth to become leaders. What you also don’t know is that it’s Kadeem’s love and dedication for his (and your) country, his past, and the opportunity God has afforded him that he proudly represents his home country with every step he takes, every word he speaks, and with every beat of his heart EVERYWHERE he is socially, professionally, and academically. I’ve personally witnessed this do my words are witnessed and true.
With strong, Englewood, South-Side, and American Blaq Girl pride, I directly say to you @annoyed and @eldread, and others like you, leave your hate-filled miserable, misogynistic, lonely, bitter, venomous presence in that small and loveless bubble you fester in with the rest of your kind. Kadeem Ladoo’s hard work and accomplishment has been recognized and celebrated with @Antiguanewsroom.com, at UNM, and with my family personally. Shame on you, especially considering that the work and dedication Kadeem has with his plans of work ahead could possibly catapult a child in YOUR family to star bound heights that will help you and yours in elder years when you won’t be able to wipe your own butt. FACT!
STOP THE HATE!
