SVG VS USA WORLD UP QUALIFYING MATCH THAT PARACHUTED OALEX INTO STARDOM!
This huge opportunity came after the soccer star has made history for SCORING the lone goal in the WORLD UP QUALIFYING MATCH SAINT VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES VS UNITED STATES OF AMERICA last fall. I have been following him on Facebook when I learned that he scored against the USA and ever since I have been following his progress. From my observations I have realized that he seems to be very mature for a 20 year old. He seems positive and knows what he wants out of life. The fact that OALEX HAD ATTRIBUTED THIS BRAKTHROUGH TO JEHOVAH GOD AND GIVE HIM THE GLORY VIA HIS FACEBOOK POST strikes my mind.
The owner of this blog extends CONGRATULATIONS to Oalex, family, his team, the SVG FOOTBALL FEDERATION & VINCY HEATS and the people of SAINT VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES for this amazing blessing.

I am a fan of the WENDY WILLIAMS SHOW when I need the latest on POP CULTURE for my blog. I must admit that I do NOT always agree with her STANCE and her RHETORIC on many matters regarding celebrities. I have noticed for quite some time now that the things she tend to say about POP STAR RIHANNA are indicative of the fact that she is not really a fan of the BARBADIAN SINGER. Suffice it to say I was in no surprised when I saw her HOT TOPICS last week in on one of her episodes on YOU TUBE captioned "RIHANNA LANDS ANOTHER #1"
I opened the video with my heart pounding in my chest waiting for the SHADES FOR DAYS. Wendy Williams did not disappoint my expectation one bit. She credited the singer for having passed legendary MICHAEL JACKSON for having 14 #1 HITS but followed that sentiment with NEGATIVES "SHADES" IN THE SAME BREATH. Please read her quote below:
“Rihanna will not be a legend. Beyonce will do her
residency in Vegas at 55 years old and you will go see her. Rihanna will
attempt to do it, but as soon as she gets up there and says the 'B'
word better have my money'... Rihanna is good for right now, but she's
not a legend – nor will she be. That's all.”
LISTEN TO HER VIDEO
I am very DISAPPOINTED that Wendy Williams will allow this statement to leave her lips. Is she playing GOD who alone has the power to KNOW A PERSON'S DESTINY or is this a sign of JEALOUSY of the fact that an ISLAND GIRL came to AMERICA and stole this coveted POP STAR title from her own AMERICAN NATIONALS?
As someone who hails from the CARIBBEAN I must say that this comment has rubbed me the wrong way. Wendy Williams needs to APOLOGIZE to the people of BARBADOS for INSULTING their national publicly on national television.
I am really tired of witnessing persons of DEVELOPED COUNTRIES LOOKING DOWN ON PEOPLE FROM SMALL DEVELOPING NATIONS and taking CHEAP SHOTS at them when they strive to access the HIGHEST ECHELON of the SUCCESS LADDER especially in entertainment. PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT
The CIRCUS of the NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY (NDP) does not cease to amaze me and many Vincentians. As you are well aware it has been TWO CONSECUTIVE sittings of the HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT that the NDP has deliberately chosen to absent themselves from. Whether or not the approximately 37,000 voters who have elected this political party into office have signed up for this chaos is something to I wonder. They still receive their PAY CHEQUE for NOT SHOWING UP FOR DUTY at the expense of the TAX PAYERS of course. Is this FAIR to the PEOPLE of St. Vincent and the Grenadines? If my research proves correct should they stay away from parliament for the 3RD CONSECUTIVE sittings BI-ELECTIONS will be held in those 7 CONSTITUENCIES that they now have under their belts. My speculations are that they will not let this happen because it was for this reason that the Leader of the Opposition chose to SWEAR IN HIMSELF, THE MPS, AND SENATORS for duty. Clearly one can see that their PAY CHEQUE is all that they really care about and NOT the VINCENTIAN people.
The madness continues with an announcement of the the presentation of their own budget this coming Tuesday at their headquarters. I have never heard of such a thing. DO WE NOW HAVE 2 PRIME MINISTERS in St. Vincent and the Grenadines??? Is this a DOLL HOUSE??? Are we playing HIDE AND SEEK AND COOPY now??? Can this be the reasons why NDP CANNOT WIN AN ELECTION for the past 4 TERMS??? Does this make sense? They had an opportunity to OPPOSE the "FOLLY" IN THE BUDGET that the government proposed and refused LOL. I am lost for words!!! A perusal of FACEBOOK showed posts my NDP SUPPORTERS who despise this move on their path. Please take a note of a SCREEN SHOT THAT I SAW ONE OF MY FRIENDS REPOSTED: I rest my case. NDP continues to prove all the more why I made that video in November 2015 in which I spelled out clearly REASONS WHY I WILL NEVER TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY AND ENDORSE THEM! PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT
ARTIST # 3 KEITH CAMPBELL ==> JAMAICA The talented humble Keith Campbell hails from Clarendon Park, Jamaica. He loves to sing REGGAE. He has the potential to leave am indelible impression in the music business. However circumstances posed a serious threat to this but his strength and courage have helped him to overcome them remain focus on his passion. He is now working hard in an effort of taking his music at a level where his home country Jamaica and the world by extension can hear what he is made of musically and be edified. SEE MUSIC VIDEO BELOW Keith has grown to love music since his youth. Keith recall vividly singing the vocals while his brothers Christopher and Dudley DJ. They told him that he sounded great and so their encouragement motivated him to get closer to people who worked close with music production. He started hanging out at CLARENDON BASE SOUND COSMIC FORCE where he enjoyed the perk of showcasing his music. This move was a step into the right direction for Keith. In 1994 he recorded his 1st SINGLE entitled "YOUTH IN THE GHETTO" which received airplay. However, this song did not reap any fruits due to a lack of POOR MARKETING & PROMOTION.
Keith did not allow this lack of success from his first recording to close the door to his musical dreams because he knew deep in his heart there was still hope out there somewhere. He continues to make great music.
A wife of the Caribbean island of TRINIDAD & TOBAGO posted what many describe to be HIGHLY DISTURBING photos chronicling an ongoing series of DOMESTIC ABUSE which she ALLEGES she suffered at the hand of her HUSBAND. VIDEO
These pictures were shared by hundreds of persons from what appears to be the BUSINESS PAGE of her husband. Apparently the wife was able to gain access to this page and posted photos of cuts and bruises as her way of SCREAMING FOR HELP. In a post the alleged VICTIM claims that she is putting this information out to the public because in the even something terrible happens to her and her children the TRINIDAD & TOBAGO POLICE will know where to look to trace what may be the inevitable. This person claims she is married to the owner of a popular auto shop for 12 years now and that this DOMESTIC VIOLENCE has been occurring during this time. CUT IN THE MIDDLE OF HER HEAD!
She has shared on Facebook that her husband has threatened to KILL her each time she indicated to him her desires to leave the relationship. Hundreds of Facebook users have reached out to her in like and comments offering support, and encouragement to her to get out of
the situation as quickly as possible.
As the owner of this blog this story resonates with me a great deal as I am a VICTIM of SPOUSAL ABUSE as well. Although I have gotten out from my marriage early, the psychological repercussions still lingers with me to this very day. I encourage you to pray about this situation and those of you living in Trinidad ad Tobago can assist her by reporting this matter to the police before things get serious.
Man
apparently in his twenties shot & killed earlier tonight in upper
New Montrose. Police patrol were on the seen within minutes. Up to the
time of posting the time of this posting, no one has been arrested in
connection with this crime and apparently, there were no witnesses.
Lord have mercy on our nation. Please let us continue to PRAY that these vicious acts of VIOLENCE stops immediately.
KENTON CHANCE WROTE TO HIS FACEBOOK FRIENDS ONE OF WHICH I AM:
"THANKS FOR YOUR CONCERNS Dear all, I was involved in an
altercation Sunday night in Penniston, during which I received two stab
wounds -- one to the right inner thigh and another to the sole of my
right foot. Also, I suffered blunt force trauma to my forehead.
Two other persons, a male and a female, were involved in the
altercation, and I have been told that one of them, the male, received
an injury to the head and has sought medical attention. I was
treated at Milton Cato Memorial Hospital in Kingstown and discharged.
While I am expected to make a full recovery, the wounds to my leg and
foot are inhibiting my ability to walk properly. The doctor says they
should heal in seven to 10 days. Thanks to all of you who called, messaged, prayed or in other ways expressed concern.
It is my understanding that one of the parties involved in the
altercation has initiated legal action. Hence, it is not prudent for me
to say more, and I am not inclined to do so anyway. While I am in
the public’s eye, I do not consider myself a public figure, and make
this post in light of the many expressions of concerns that I have
received.
Special thanks to the very professional staff at Milton
Cato Memorial Hospital, namely Dr. Joseph (my former schoolmate) and
nurse Parsons -- who promises that she is the best at administering
sutures. Time will tell ☺.
I was a little disappointed, though, that when I walked in with blood
streaming from my forehead and foot, I was shown a bench and told to sit
there. After a few minutes, and with a pool of blood on the floor, I
had to tell the staff that I am bleeding a lot and was given a bed to
lie on. In the end, all’s well that ends well. Never in my life would I
have imagined that I would know what it is like to be stabbed…"
COMMENTARY BY CLAIRON HAYNES I am deeply saddened by this post in my Facebook newsfeed by my friend Kenton. Increase of violence in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has become growing concerns to me. According to this statement from Mr. Chance no details has been given as to the circumstances leading up to this attack. I hereby DENOUCE THIS ACT OF VIOLENCE. I am praying for your speedy recovery.
One
of the top selling Gospel music artist selling over 10 million albums
worldwide. Pick up his NEW ALBUM "Duets"===> http://bitly.com/1kDGnos
The Man, The Music & His Ministry Known worldwide as the tall raspy tenor who commands your attention with his powerful and
rich sounding vocals, Donnie McClurkin has more than proven that he is
far more than a gospel singer. The man behind the platinum and gold
selling CD(s) is an amazing songwriter that not only have penned chart
topping tunes like, “Stand” and “We Fall Down,” but has also worn the
hat of producer on his projects. His knack for nailing songs that
others can identify with and serving them up with a compelling vocal
delivery has helped McClurkin to carve out a spot in the hearts of
millions.
"DUET ALBUM SAMPLER"
Finding enough space on the mantel and in his trophy
case to store all the awards is a different story. Year 2010 started
with McClurkin being honored with a BMI Trailblazer’s Award alongside
his mentor, Pastor Andrae Crouch, he received his third GRAMMY Award for
“Wait On he Lord”, the hit single with Karen Clarke Sheard from his We
Are All One: Live From Detroit CD, and was nominated for another
NAACP Image Award in the Outstanding Gospel Artist category. In 2007
McClurkin was honored at both the 15th Annual Trumpet Awards and the
NARAS Recording Academy – NY Chapter. Nestled beside the honoree
trophies are several other Grammy, Dove, BET, Soul Train and NAACP Image
Awards, statuettes and plaques.
MOST POPULAR SONG "STAND"
McClurkin’s talent did not go unnoticed by “the suits” on the other side of the entertainment fence.
The studios soon came calling for McClurkin to create tunes for
soundtracks such as, “Lady Killer’s” (New Line), “The Prince of Egypt”
(DreamWorks) and “The Goofy Movie” (Disney). From the concert stage to
the big and small screen, fans have also seen this gospel crooner shine
in cameo appearances on UPN’s “The Parkers”, “Girlfriends”, “Meet The
Browns” (Tyler Perry Paramount Pictures, “The Fighting Temptations”
starring Cuba Gooding, Jr and Beyonce’ Knowles and a myriad of Award
Shows. However, it was in Sony Screen Gems/ Rainforest Films “The
Gospel,” starring Boris Kodjoe and Idris Elba, that McClurkin made his
debut in a character role. His face has been sprawled on the pages of
USA Today, New York Times, Essence Magazine, Ebony & Jet Magazines,
Billboard, Daily Variety and The Hollywood Reporter. There is
definitely far more to this man than his music.
It was never
McClurkin’s intent to retire as a recording artist. He always knew that
singing was just one of the gifts that would be used as a platform to
crossover to another arena in the business. His long-time vision of
starting a record label has finally arrived; Camdon Music, the name of
McClurkin’s label, is well on its way to becoming a reality. Heading up
a label will position him to showcase his many gifts while allowing his
keen ability to hear great talent and discover the musical potential in
artists from every walk of life. Already signed and sealed to Camdon
Music is McClurkin’s sister, Andrea Mellini, who sang background with
him on all his recordings, and Perfecting Faith Choir.
Camdon
Records will not only be home to the best music around, but it will
feature the spoken word as well. The Donnie McClurkin Ministry Series,
which can currently be found in Wal-Mart stores across the U.S. and www.camdonmusic.com
is another division of the label that fans will enjoy. Powerful
messages like “The Valley of God” and “Attachments” is just a sample of
what’s to come.
WE FALL DOWN BUT WE GET UP
When asked what message he wants his life to
convey, McClurkin says, “I hope people will be able to say that I really
had a true relationship with God,“ he concluded.” “Not only did I
sing it, but also my very life exemplified it… no façade or hypocrisy.
When I was wrong, I was wrong, but I took blame rather than allow
holiness to appear to be some fabricated way of life. I want that
people will not have seen me, but rather seen that this is what a
relationship with Jesus is like and I would hope it could be said that
holiness was what I lived, and what I passed on to the next generation,
and the next.”
