The future of this nation is in all our hands. For the love of Guyana and all that makes us Guyanese, Stand Up & Speak Out! Before it's too late...
We form the ranks of the old and the young,
those here and those departed,
seeking change and understanding
through a collective of the meek turned lion-hearted. We aim to plant a seed,
deep inside of you,
so give us half a chance
and that's just what we will do. A seed of compassion for your fellow man,
a yearning to see no more garbage
mixed into the sea wall sand,
a seed of desire to underst
and,
a seed that will grow into a tree of wisdom,
from which others can pick fruit,
something that inspires you to lead
and for others to follow suit. This Guyana we love so dearly,
with its share of problems and more,
need not be snuffed out in the scorching sun,
like a beached whale washed up on the shore. This page backs no party,
and has no party fund,
so use it to share your ideas,
without fear of repercussion. Change can be gradual,
it's sometimes hard to accept,
but to be part of the process,
is to stay right in step. Share when you can,
your ideas and the posts
The greatest change is possible
with the many and the most. If you've read this much description
we're glad you stuck around,
Welcome to the Real Guyana,
your virtual, solid ground.

Join me on another voyage of discovery deep in the heart of vice and corruption, a beautiful place called Guyana. Today I present a preview of the next feature to be published on the Real Guyana youtube channel and if this doesn't drive home the point that slapdash work can literally endanger our lives and compromise our health I really don't know what will but I promise to keep trying. This horrid situation did start under the previous administration, I shall acknowledge that before the trolls attack but we must also acknowledge that after a year in office there is no move to rectify what is clearly an urgent issue. Please feel free to get very upset in the meantime, the more of us that do and say something about it the more likely we are to have a speedy resolution. It is time to put aside bickering about party politics, toxins don't discriminate and it seems clear to me corruption is shortening our lives. With the life we have left after inhaling these fumes, every day I hope for the collective to realize how much it serves us to cooperate and work together to demand a fair deal from whichever government find themselves in power. Long after the PPP and Coalition retire on with glorious benefits and can migrate to expensive places it is the ordinary people who will be left with the fallout. In this particular case sad to say, the fallout is not figurative but very real. Sleep tight and know you can't close your nose to the fog at night. The full video will be available by the weekend so do stay tuned. Over to you...
I wonder sometimes if we Guyanese have a common illness I call wait-itis. Waititis is characterized by just waiting on things to happen as opposed to genuinely seeing what we can do to demand or effect the changes we need. Waititis is debilitating, people suffering from this condition have been known to wait up to 50 years for a sign of progress! The police, teachers and doctors have waititis waiting on better pay and the public servants wait to be told by their employees in government what increase they will be getting even as those very employees stuff their pockets with 50% extra. Rice eater get knock down? Wait...somebody else gon move it. Pothole in yuh road? Somebody else gon complain fuh you. Contractors show up on your block and do work that is blatantly slapdash? Well we wait for someone to come fix it. Waititis is a dread condition and I was once a sufferer but no longer brothers and sisters! I am so fed up of seeing contractors take millions of dollars from the public purse only to deliver sub-standard work I decided to try an experiment because I once read that the simple act of observation and scrutiny has the power to change someone's behavior. Are contractors doing a bad job capable of doing a good job when they know someone is checking on them? I definitely don't see my local councilor in the streets dealing with these issues and I figure it's the den of vice and corruption that is City Hall keeping him busy but do I wait and record it afterwards as per norm or try to sway the best possible outcome through engagement before the job is complete. These are questions I wish more people would ask themselves. Whenever I see contractors delivering poor work in my community or anywhere else for that matter, once I have the time I now stop and confront them before the job is done and follow up. As a citizen if feels like local government has failed to deliver on its promises to simply enforce existing laws and the government itself is failing every day o
$320,000 for a songbird? When a man tells you his bird is worth that much you start to understand that bird racing is something many Guyanese take very seriously. You may have seen the men or boys riding around town with their cages, stopping at the side of the road to pick special seeds or even heard them arguing about 'who gah de most bad fa dayz bird' but where do they all meet and what do they all do? Get a taste in this trailer then check out the full video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zk_-hx2shU as stopped in on a popular bird racing spot in Sparendaam to learn for myself just a few months ago.
Two days ago I bumped into army veteran Courtney Gibson living in a shack on the West Coast of Demerara. What followed was a remarkable interview which contained many painful reminders of the brutal reality facing many Guyanese on the bottom rungs of the economic and social ladders. In this clip I ask Courtney about the changes he has seen in his own life since the change of administration. Look out for the full 15minute interview where he talks about living as an alien in his own country, his personal journey and passionately delivers his own message to the President and leaders of Guyana. The full video upload is now available here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SVH8dsN9LA&feature=youtu.be
That's right; rape, torture and abuse promised to tourist by Guyanese policeman on active duty. Real Guyana knows the struggle having had a van load of army and police officers turn up to ransack my home as punishment for filming two kids rolling a spliff on a police van. The mechanic who gave those children the weed is still servicing police vehicles to this very day and every single officer involved has been allowed to continue without disciplinary action. This is a country where officers can torture a teenager and still end up being recommended for promotion so why wouldn't a policeman feel so confident telling anyone these things? The police weren't even aware they were threatening a former Soldier, Police Officer, retired maximum security Prison Guard and Coast Guardsman. Check out David Layman's page on Youtube for a few more eye opening videos detailing his experiences in Guyana. Welcome to Guyana, you are now in the care of a debased police force working hard everyday to redefine the meaning of corruption. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3iMU6AIejcCsZN6-XGqXOw
