Clash of the Titans

By Abdulmajeed K. Nunez

Is it King Kong vs Godzilla?
Flexing of muscles or an expression of anger
When the Catholic bishop expressed his church's non support
For the Special Envoy and Women's Department 20,000 Women rally effort
Quoting the Pope
Man, Belize is heading down a slippery slope
This one is surely no joke!

Does the layman and woman
Truly understand how the bishop's stand will impact the nation?
Knowing that the PM is a vindictive man
And can be misinterpreted that the bishop diss di the First Lady's plan
His government is running a perceived Anglican ministry of education
That is responsible for giving schools subventions
Is this a war of religions?
Is this a fight against legislation?
Is this a fight against corruption?
Is this the sounding of the alarm for new elections?
Is this a war against signed conventions?
These are some lurking questions
Is this indeed a clash of the Titans?
If indeed the Catholics win round one
Knowing full well there will be repercussions

Clearly the Catholic Church does not support the Gender Policy
And is promoting the institution of the family, justifiably
Subtly this policy is promoting US foreign policy
Our government signed on swiftly being strapped for money
To the promotion of lesbianism, same sex marriages and homosexuality
When it has been proven historically that many great nations were destroyed
When homosexuality and bestiality became policy
For once I am in solidarity with my Catholic family

'Cause when a minister's wife catches him in bed
With another man and lef am
There is no question to his conviction
So to the layman and lay woman
I say I am for empowering woman
But woman and man must be empowered hand in hand
So that Belize becomes a better nation
I support the bishop on his stand
Even this is a clash of the Titans
And I am a Muslim I subscribe to Islam
Belize is a great nation we must stand together as one
Burning the hell outa Babylon

The Cassava Minister

By Abdulmajeed K. Nunez

They mocked him the "Cassava Minister" and targeted his projects
Before Chiste many of Belize's produce could not hit international markets
Realizing this he brought in BAHA
To regularize the health status of any and all products
For local consumption and international export
This was one of Chiste's signature projects
This is one of his legacies that you hear nothing about

Chiste determined to help his nation
Went to Taiwan
Knowing that one of Belize's premier exports was shrimp and lobster
However the practice of lobster catching for eons in country
Made this an unsustainable industry
He brought in experts to create a marine culture
For crayfish production in this nation
This would increase Belize's stock
And not necessarily pressure the wide stock

Chiste was swarmed by the environmentalist
That had and has no meaningful alternative
But when there is a real program that is ready to launch
This is what happens
Chiste cultured the podia fruit that was never heard of in this country
He was so skillful with the soil creating an artificial dessert environment
With sawdust, sand and manure
Making that plant feel like it was in its natural habitat
Chiste came up with production of that fruit on his ranch
These fruits sell at seven US a piece
The first time any Sanchez saw the fruit was in mainland China in 2001
Those fruits were in the fruit bowls of five star hotels in China
The lower class of people could never afford to eat that fruit

His tribute in Punta Gorda
Was a platform to continue the thanksgiving
To their work and their scholarship
Of those who are contributing immensely to the local
National and international development of Belize

Kerobe King!

By Abdulmajeed K Nunez

He was nicknamed the Kerobe King
He was attacked for being daring and aspiring
During a time when the Garinagu were organizing
George Cadle Price was victimizing anyone that opposed him
He was a pioneer in the establishment of St John Teacher's college
He and his wife did pioneering work in, Pine Ridge and Succoth and a host of other Villages
He was president of the Belize Tourism for the Central America
Doing work in Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama, Mexico and Costa Rica
He can even be called one of Belize's human fathers
He pioneered the agriculture show
In 1951 San Ignacio Cayo
Later it spread to all boroughs

Godsman Celestino Ellis was here for a brief stop
But during his time this phenomenal brother achieved a lot
He hailed from Honduras stock
His visionary Belizean father registered him son in British Honduras
He attended Sacred Heart Primary School in Dangriga
Up to age ten, when he was approached by an instructor
Eric Sebastian who requested that Godsman accompany him to Xaibe Rural Community
It was in Corozal District he completed his primary Education Studies.
It was in Corozal he learnt Spanish and got his appreciation for Mayan ethnicity

At 16 he passed the first class teacher's question paper
Then he became a full fledged teacher
At Sacred Heart Primary School in Dangriga.
Raised by his grandmother who instilling in him culture and the spirit of attainment
She was financially unable to assist with his secondary edification;
As a result Ellis determined to embark on what would turn out to be a long teaching career.
He spent several years teaching at the Sacred Heart Primary School
Then he was drafted to attend St John's College in Belize City
There he took part in a teacher's training course.
He graduated from the training course with a Cambridge Diploma
And went on to attend the teacher's college in Belize City
He then took up teaching in the southern village of Dolores in the Toledo District.

After graduating from St John's College, he was asked to take up the post of principal, in 1951at August Pine Ridge in the Orange Walk borough.
1951 was one of the most unforgettable years of Godsman Celestino Ellis' life
He was appointed as the principal of a school and that same year the he married the love of his life
Ms Ethel Sampson, the woman who would remain by his side for the next 61 years of his life.
He traveled the world, received numerous honours for his dedication and service to Belize.
In 1957 he was awarded a scholarship to study in British Colombian, Canada,
Majoring where he majored in soil survey.
This field fortified his name in the agricultural sector of Belize for many years.
He returned to Belize in 1961 and was appointed to the post of agricultural officer stationed in Central Farm.
Godsman Ellis was instrumental in organizing the farmers travelling around the country to assist in the rehabilitation.
After Hurricane Hattie's devastation.

In 1967 the need to open an agriculture school was grasped
The Godsman Ellis took up the head man task
He remained in that position until he retired at the age of 50.
Being a visionary under his leadership the school was a thing of beauty,
Ellis tried his hands at many things including peanut butter manufacturing business.
We all remember Gabella Peanut Butter factory on Carillo Avenue in Santa Elena, Cayo.
However external competition made it difficult for him to survive in the industry.
His love for country led him into the tourism industry
He was also did human rights advocacy
Where he shared his knowledge with visitors from across the sphere
As a trained professional and experienced tour guide
Who had dreams of making Belize the number one tourism destination in the world.
Ten years ago he travelled to Guatemala to share the natural wealth that Belize had to offer.
His tribute in Punta Gorda

Belize you are welcome!
A Garifuna giant who has been elevated to national and international stardom
He was the trail blazer and a pioneer
Who was instrumental in the formation of the first agricultural school of this nation
He did not only speak agriculture but he demonstrated
He was a man that constantly preached agriculture
During the time he started the agriculture school his vision was clear
That the students when they finished that school could fit the extension services
That was a direct benefit to the farmers
That is what is killing the farmers of this nation as we speak
There is no effective extension service
It is the same thing they did with the lands and survey department
They kept the lands department
And they killed the survey department
Knowing pretty well that people applying for a piece of land
Would never be able to afford a surveyor
It is a deliberate attempt and if it is not so
Let them prove otherwise

Belize and Venezuela

By Abdulmajeed K. Nunez

Belize and Venezuela became engaged in 1978
When the country got its first Venezuelan consulate
Perhaps it was faith that their relations had to wait
Belizeans had already set independence on their plate
Venezuela was one of the countries that mediated
For Belize at the United Nations for us to become an independent nation
They were given two lots in Belmopan
For a residence and their Embassy's construction
The first is located between the Mexican Embassy and the British High Commission
The other is near the Embajada Americana

They started international relations in 1989
The only Venezuelan president to visit
Was Carlos Sanchez Perez
For six hours, because he and George Price were friends
They signed many agreements but never ratified
Until Chavez took power in 1999
He made an addition to his constitution
To consolidate the struggles of the Latin American and the Caribbean

Chavez started enhancing embassies in Caribbean
And devise several schemes for integration
Belize got its first Venezuelan ambassador in 2007
He came with a new vision and reconstructed the organization
Prior to him there was just a head of mission
It was basically a one man operation
He formed political, social and communications arm
Part of the operation was the consular's section for Venezuelans
They worked closely with the Cubans
Who had 122 doctors throughout the length and breadth of the nation

If the Madura government is toppled
Jugo Chavez's entire program will be crippled
ALBA, PetroCaribe, Mission Miracle and all the other social programs
The Venezuela government under Chavez has highly regarded
In their relations around the world
Venezuela having the sixth largest
Oil deposit in the world
It is a call for disquiet
Our current government and the way they have been doing trade
With Venezuela, the funding and the programs has created much impact
To the country of Belize but it could create more impact
If the government would put a more friendly mechanism
That those resources could trickle down
To what Chavez described as the poorest of the poor
Belize City would no longer be an eyesore

Venezuela has made numerous
Donations to this nation
Including the controversial twenty million
From the Belmopan hospital renovation
To the Marion Jones stadium
But it's just till now they are being given their due recognition
Including their many Miracle missions
Their 4,000 barrels of oil a day for poverty elevation
From 2005 up until 2009
So with the oil we have we could reduced the IMF's inflation
And be well on our way to becoming an independent nation
In one year the government could have raised three hundred million

Over 75,000 packs of fertilizer
Were brought into to distribute to the small farmers
Let's ask the people in the Ministry of Agriculture
If in truth they sold them behind doors to the Mennonites
And the cane farmers up north
The country has not heard anything of the sort
This has been withheld from the country's report
Notwithstanding the Toledo small farmers
Are still waiting for their quotas

Pappy show!

By Abdulmajeed K. Nunez

Hickory dickory dock
The mouse ran up the clock
The clock struck one
The mouse ran down
Hickory dickory dock

COLA standing up for social justice
So their stance is supposed to be without malice
Let me be candid
COLA's initiative should be commended
But this system is not to be trusted
UDP acted in unity with the PM's malady
Knowing the mandamus would fail
Ensuring that in the meanwhile they could cover their trail
But it was already known that this would be the strategy
UDP does not want to stain their hands politically
They need to maintain they slim majority
They've know full well like Zinaida
They could have fired Penner
However that's not an option at this juncture
It's all a pappy show!

Except for Johnny Briceno's father
Who was arrested in America
No other member of the house have ever been successful prosecuted
In the 90s Musa was arrested
For breaching the trust for which he was entrusted
But he was never successfully prosecuted
In fact he was vindicated
So the country looked stupid
This tactic is not effective
It's all a pappy show

Meanwhile Maxell Samuel was accused of selling 300 passports
Then 200 gone missing
Both governments have been doing the same thing
But he too was never taken to court
In fact he had his party's support
The US State Department revoked his visa
So he can't go to nor pass through America
A matter for which Said Musa said he was willing to answer
Phillip Goldson was also accused
But it was his spouse and Deen Lindow should be the true accused
He took them to court and too was vindicated
So why are Belizeans getting excited
That Penner was arrested and is being prosecuted
When Musa was first arrested for your info
It was under the same MO
It was one big pappy show
His paparazzi was lone George Street gangsters
From the youth officers from department on Gabriel Lane
Had to be brought in to defuse and negotiate
And set things straight

The second time 2008 Musa was arrested and prosecuted
That's when Earl Jones's magistracy career ended
He was vindicated despite the evidence Ralphonomics provided
It's a chess game being played
Someone needs to be the fall guy
Buy design it is all one big lie
Like Samuels and Musa we could try
Penner won't be removed unless he resigns, is successfully prosecuted or dies
The UDP knows this and their counter strategy has been well designed
Belizeans open up your eyes
But I tell you it is a big, big pappy show and everybody knows
The rest of the world is sitting enjoying the comedy show!
Largely because it was done before
It is the hope of this government
That this case will be thrown out after a few adjournments
Making sure there is no indictment
Especially since the Kim files have been mislaid
A trick of the trade, someone has already be paid
Absence of evidence there is sure to be no trial
It's all a big pappy show

Urban Budget

By Abdulmajeed K. Nunez

Trick or treat money or sweet
I got a headache listening to Shakespearian budget speech
This clearly has no teeth!
With a billion dollars being proposed to be spent
Was there due consideration for the country's development?
Clearly it's all about the UDP government
Still trying to win the people's confidence
Mesmerizing Belizeans with so called infrastructural development
Belizeans don't need to be economists to see it
This budget is just to ensure that UDP supporters continue to eat
"Better cannot be done!" Remember!
These were the words of the prime minister
He forgot to say, "Then let worst continue!"
Since this is the best that he and his technocrats can do
Poor people's punishment will surely continue

The best analysis came from Requena and Mai
While the ruling party was clowning about Ramin
Laced with aluminum, food the digestive system can't break down
Given to animals for them to calm down
This is a reality that the working poor are living
With poor people unable to buy pantry weekly, hence their cronies are benefiting
While the national deficit keeps hiking
With no mechanisms in place for the laypeople to feel the trickling
Increasing 160 percent in twenty-six years
With every citizen born and unborn owing seven thousand three hundred dollars
Majority of the population is living every day on less than five dollars

The gimmicks in the house made my blood boil
When will the citizenry start paying less at the gas pumps for oil?
Belize City has too much constituencies
Listening to this city budget means the districts will get nothing
People in the South are still punishing
Praying for the day the Commerce Bight port will be opening
This to me is a most frightening thing
The government can't tell the country they can't do anything
It's high time we start constituency merging
And stop the southern district marginalizing
Its time our people start analyzing
This budget passing will be a crippling thing
Paying bad man to hold it down is not a good bargain
We need to start lobbying

For the first time our figures are reaching one billion
Certainly with no consultation from the opposition
Is this how we develop a nation?
How will it benefit the rural areas?
There is still no electricity in San Narciscio and San Roman
No Community Center in Santa Clara
No police station in Libertad
Dilapidated roads in Buena Vista
San Victor Road is being built thanks to the cane farmers
Louise ville and Concepcion still needing water reservoir
Nothing for South West it is copy and paste
A budget lacking in taste made in haste
A government marching at the IMF's pace

Belize's Underdevelopment

By Abdulmajeed K Nunez

The enemies amongst us is crafty
The enemy has made themselves our deity
They even gave us ethnicity
To keep us divided and in constant rivalry
They even placed us strategically
In different parts of the country
They even denied us accessibility
If it was not for cross country
Which not a sport; initially they were brave riders who dared to travel the country
We should also be grateful for Hurricane Hattie
For opening up our country
We need to acquaint ourselves with our own history

When will Diasporans realize
That they are being victimized
For fear that they will open their people's eyes
The same way the Garinagu were ostracized and victimized
The British were afraid they and the Creoles would organize
Diasporans can see through the lies
Those politicians prophesied
Whilst doing the works of those they vilify
Their citizens they victimize and ostracize
Casting them aside
Their own self interest they prioritize

Diasporans have analyzed and can't be caught by surprise
Helping Belizeans and home and abroad to conceptualize
That PUD is about this country's demise
They seek to keep the country petrified
Towing us along political and ethnic divide
PUDP refuse to unite the country
Like their masters they seek to control by telling us lies
And following plans the IMF and IDB has devised

They call Belize a participatory democracy
That propaganda - a hyperbole
Our patrimony and lands are still being sold
Their actions are discriminatory
Especially if you do not conform to their party
Partisan politics is killing this country
Now they're using adds to hypnotize wi
This will stop when Diasporans stop supporting three
Horsemen DEEN, SEDI and the PINCHER when they go to Miami
Begging the Diasporans fi money
You all should support a new party
Your support has been securing their victory
As they continue to rape this country
It's the same with the People's United Party
Let's join forces and make history and take back our country

Mark King is promising
To give squatters title
Then soon the foreigners will be naturalized
Belizeans open up your eyes
This is how PUDP strategize
Using the mass media to mind suck us
They are no different from Chis- teef us -come- bruk- us
They are not about developing the country
They are content on harnessing dependency
Budgeting at a deficit
Rather than a profit
They lack creativity, none of these jackasses are visionaries
They have no creativity, no local incentives for developing industries
No real plan to develop our ports
They should be look at Singapore's efforts
Being a power trader on the world scene
These incompetent fools are killing the youth's dreams

Belize ranks 3rd

Belize's Child Prodigy!

By Abdulmajeed K. Nunez

There are not a lot of women in Belize into IT
She's a trailblazer and trendsetter not into conformity
She's a visionary and wants good for her country
She's big on educational accessibility
Running on a political ticket is not for she
She's been approached by PUDP, but she is for the community
Not into popularity and all for national unity
She developed and planned protocols and policies for the National Reform Party

Winner of the UWI 2014 Outstanding Woman of the Year
She's one of Belize's pioneer female programmers
Born and raised in south side Belize
Still residing where she grew up
Pallotti and SJC sixth form are her alma maters
She was an early bloomer
She went to high school at ten
By seventeen she graduated sixth form once again
That was when she began her career
Started at social security then rose through the ranks
She made inspector in three years

In 1992 an associated degree was rare
Her group came in with associates
Back then people rose through seniority
As faith may have it this statutory body
Was ran just like the other government ministries
Then change came in policy allowing her to rise quickly
She was later transferred for three years as an inspector in the cane industry
She got married at twenty
Then at twenty three she decided to go and study

During the Y2K she went to study computer programming
She completed a three year bachelors study in twenty four months
Then she won a scholarship to do telecommunications management
This complemented what she was doing in programming
Which again she finished in one year
Then came back home and started her new career
She felt as a teacher she'd make a greater impact
In 2003 when she came back determined to give back

Determined to make a community impact
She started a community based grassroots organization
Focusing on marginalized women and youth
She did some grant proposals for the Collet locality
Capacity building with elders in her community
She became very involved with heaven house
Looking at areas where her volunteerism and activism would have the most impact
She has served on numerous academic boards
She does not subscribe to the crippling effects of politician
Contributing brings her people out of their indigent situations
Helping them to move forward at their velocity

Her passion interacting in her community
So she pioneered the "We Dah Fi Collet" grassroots agency
With a diverse group with the same aspiration
Warding off many attempts at political infiltration
Some left due to political seduction
Ras Pita organized sporting competitions
She and Fabiana Scott were encouraged people growth and development
At grass roots level, focusing on nation building
Starting with human capacity building
She is indeed deserving of UWI's celebrating!

The Tale of the Two Cities

By Abdulmajeed K. Nunez

The Belize that you see is a smoke screen
Let me explain what I mean
There is a Belize for the upper class
Then there is a Belize for the lower class
They have perfected their propaganda
I can't go to the border with Will Mehia
UNIBAM is the agent for the US foreign policy or plan
I can't support Greg Choc fronting for an oil company from Alaska
US Capital would have never invested 20 million
On a wild assumption it is all shenanigans
38 villages and one they swindled from the Garifuna
With both governments emasculated into collecting agent for the International Monetary Fund

Ever wonder why during the 30-year civil war in San Salvador
The Jesuit priests were the targets for murder
They were siding with the elite against the masses to take over the lands
Like the apartheid system in South Africa
It was in Honduras they perfected their program
Causing the deaths of thousands and the under development of the nation
This is what triggered the rebellion
Webber and Price closed down Lynam
These Jesuits CIA operatives were sent to our region to fleece
Fronting as priests, undermining the country's stability and peace
Sabotaging the efforts of the locals toward economic independence
Spreading their doctrine at the Garinagu expense

George Price opened the floodgates through the United Nation
Having a new people settle in the best agricultural land of this motherland
Their mentality has permeated throughout the nation
When clear the land Castro was trying move black men to the land
He was stopped because it was going to be a race war in the nation
The Jesuit headquarters is West Landevar
When the Council of Jesuits meets they decide who will rule our homeland
Father Webber was ruthless man and he was able to offset Father Cramer's plan
All the elite's schools in Central America are controlled by Jesuits hands
This included Lynam, Cramer was to solicit the oligarchy of Central America to come to Lynam

San Perdomo and Price conspired to close Lynam
That was to be the first agricultural university of the region
Cramer was wise Jesuit his intention or plan
The black boys was to be used to as the justification
The contras Independence Agricultural School funded by the European Union
It has nothing to do with the feed George Town and sounding areas
Funding a elaborate structure for people in the banana belt
Question yourself why those monies were spent
Since the reality of Lynam was not truly felt

Belize is not for Belizeans they have appeased the foreign agenda
Both governments sacrifice the masses for their own fortification
Waging a war on the producers
Supporting the importer in some cases who are minister brothers
Remember the million pound of onions
The Market Board imported from Holland?
We even imported rice from Uruguay
Shutting down our local Hill Bank rice producers
Now they have their eyes on the cattle producers
Some government ministries
Have even taken the role of foreign agencies
The Ministry of Health can be called Ministry of PAHO
The Ministry of Finance can be called the Ministry of the World Bank and IMF
The Ministry of Finance can be called the Ministry of FAO
The Ministry of National Security can be Called Ministry of the US Embassy
It hard to find a ministry for the people
Therein lies the cause of our marginalization


Belize Child Exploitation!

By Abdulmajeed K Nunez

"The tourism industry is not to blame!"
The CEO of the ministry of Belizean enslavement was quick to proclaim
The taxi drivers and the tour operators are the one initiating it
Who in their right mind believes that bullshit?
Didn't the PM say, "For God sake stop it!"
You all think he was only talking about the visa shizzz?
Hit them on the hip you all are condoning it
You all see an opportunity so you are exploiting it

Everyone is exploiting Belize's children
Even those sworn to protect them
The PAHO ministry of health has been killing them
Those they don't kill with fake medicines they are disabling them
The US security ministry
Has been arresting, profiling, incarcerating, emasculating and criminalizing them
Using their gang associates to assassinate them
Whilst murderers, rapists and drug barons are finding Belize to be a safe haven
The ministry of human enslavement and institutionalized dependency has been using, abusing and dehumanizing them
With the unaccounted welfare system
With BOOST, Pantry teaching them to beg
The institutionalized ministry of confusion called education
Indoctrinates, cultural desensitizes, trivializes civic pride and expels our young men without skillfully enabling them

The Human Rights Commission, Women's Department, NCFC, Community Rehabilitation and the National Council for Families and Children seems to have abandoned them
Initially their mandate was to protect them
Their silence has been deafening
Have they joined the band wagon to exploit them?
Just to earn a chair at the master's table?
We need to hold them accountable

Two million of taxpayers' dollars
Spent in an NGO, whoa!
Have we seriously asked how the inspiration center will assist the poor?
Why can't we build on existing structures anymore?
Are we seriously about the people or just for a show
Perhaps we are content that Belize is turning into a little Singapore

BTB is promoting child cruise ship prostitution
It's now time for the special envoy's twenty thousand women strong!
Or was that all about symbolism?
What is the tourism minister's position?
Like I said I've heard nothing from the child organizations
Not a word from the human development minister
But then again he just experienced psychological trauma
At Mike's club on Regent Street where he witnessed a murder
What about our children who are experiencing that nightly trauma
Notwithstanding Santi wants us to believe his messenger was killed by a robber
Meanwhile the "private dancing" minister's wife windshield was broken by a jealous ex- lover
However, when she was undergoing her trauma, she was visited by the wife of Yowl Brinner and asked her not to press charges as it will affect the party in power
She should be asking the private dancing minister
What happened in Punta Gorda, involving his phone and laptop computer?
But then again he is protected by the local media
