We were kept under military rule with the help of both the USA and the UK for about 30 years. During this time we had Jonestown, where foreign criminals were sold 3000 acres of land and murdered nearly 1000 people mainly Guyanese citizens. This is still the highest death rate in a non-war theatre. Then, we had a leading critic of the military government murdered in a car bomb, again with the help of the USA. His name was Dr. Walter Rodney. Dr. Rodney was a great man and up to this day, I cannot think of anyone who stands close to his dynamism and character. We lost about half of our population, including my family who escaped to the UK where were treated as 2nd class citizens even though two uncles fought in WW2 for the liberation of Europe in Holland, and in The Battle of Britain. In the UK I was constantly told that I was from a 'poor country'. Let's get a few things straight. Guyana is the size of the UK and is blessed with Gold, Silver, Diamonds, Rivers, Forests, access to the Atlantic, bordering the giant of South America , Brazil. And, now oil and gas. We are also bless with very talented people who have made a great success of their lives in the face of discrimination and adversity. We were NEVER EVER a poor country. What kept us poor was the collusion of Britain to cripple the newly independent government by backing and arming the opposition. One day we will be an integral part of South America and united with our South American neighbours in joint prosperity and finally abandon centuries of colonialism and slavery.
I agree with you. Our family got out of Guyana right after Vincent Teekah's murder. I was at the Mercy Hospital when they brought him in that faithful night. We knew then that we had to leave as fast because that was the beginning. I was the last one left because I was attending UG, so I left for the USA right after Rodney's death. I don't think I will ever be going back to Guyana.
@@changeiscoming5227 Yes, the Jonestown victims were mainly Americans. In one of your comments you said that you have been following Guyana history from pre-colonial times, so I may learn a few things from you. I am from the 50's and have been in and out of Guyana on a regular basis since 1970. I disagree with Your contention that Guyana has made no progress for the past 55 years.There were periods when things were really bad but for the past 2 years there is a transformation that I have seen. Look at the youtube videos coming out of Guyana. Rome was not built in a day ! I can tell you about the good times and the bad times.

He really should have sent her to the epicenter of the corruption instead of being polite.
@@lynbishop3778 while I may agree with you, however I think he show his capacity to listen allowed her to a certain extent an he shows not only leadership as always as well putting it out there for the world to know an hear he's not afraid to any questions throw at him. He did an incredible job not for her but for the people who thinking of coming up Next...!! Kodos VP
Wow, Honourable Mia Motley, I can see her answering the questions like Honourable VP Jagdeo. As long as you are honest , opened, and doing the right thing, have no fear... People will try to destroy and undermine but GOD IS LOVE AND TRUTHS AND GOD will see you through every battles.. No dodgy dealings, no sinister or dark deeds and you will always emerge victorious .GOD fights our battles with us stay Righteous and serve our people with integrity and fairness. Business of any countries should be with any countries as long as there is no corrupted DODGY or sinister dealings involved.. Mr Jagdeo sometimes Some Americans and British can get is so wrong with other countries. They have to recognise they can make mistakes too.
Great interview!!! The VP is on top of his game. She was definitely unsure of the questions she asked to which she had incorrect $ amount given to her. Makes me wonder who sent her.
I don't blame you and respect your opinion. But I have a different view. The PNC is a puppet of the British but this time they will remain in opposition for a very long time. It was by design that the British isolated us from our neighbours, but now we are building new roads, bridges and rail links to our South American neighbours. The road contract was won by a Brazilian company and not our former lord and master. I don't believe we can be brought down this time, because we now have a powerful friend in China. And, as you know, we have always had very good relations with the Chinese. The British were in Guyana for about 400 years and during that time not a single university, art gallery, classical music orchestra, opera house, science museum etc. Whereas, in their white colonies these cultural symbols are in abundance. For example, the UK still spends over £1million/day to maintain the Falklands. It was in their interest to keep us in ignorance and an infantile stage of development. All I can say they must have been pissing themselves with laughter.

I do not want to hear from Jagdeo I want to hear from the President himself - Jagdeo had his time. Irfan Ali is the president so Jagdeo needs to take a back seat
Yes but this Inquirer style reporter managed to get an interview from him cuz as he told her he's helpful to everyone. Thing is she wanted to know about corruption but he didn't give her enough examples. 🙄 And she was trying to bait with her written script. He has patience 😏
@@changeiscoming5227 so if you have Chinese friends you probably taking a bribe to get free fried rice? Your intelligence matches this script reader who was given her questions to ask garbage it's a pity they did not give the costs of Roads correctly as they misled her with the US $$ so much misinformation she was fed What a setup🙄
You are sitting comfortably from the comforts of your America home or basement and pointing fingers at the Vice President as if you know it all.. You guysare really nasty set of people...Go clean the mock out of your eyes before you can see others...
We need a spokesperson in our country. Whether its Mr Jagdeo or President Ali or our Prime Minister Hon Mark Phillips . They have to represent us. I think as long as people are honest and doing the right thing , there is nothing to worry about.. God fights our BATTLES with and for us as long as we our thoughts , intentions and actions are righteous.
It's okay to ask. Questions about our Indeginous people because globally people are starting to pay more respect to the Indeginous people now. Dr Cheddi Jagan and his wife Janet Jagan have always been inclusive with Amerindians. We must not forget how British and Americans destroyed the Indeginous people in America.
I bet if it was a PNC PERSON in Mr Jagdeo's shoe with this kind of interview, they would have publicly insulted her so much and ordered her out of the country, think about the receptions some of the foreign observers got from some APNU members.....
VP Jagdeo gave some very intelligent answers to her questions I applaud VP for his knowledge on Guyana affairs and all his answers in the my view came from his Presidential inventory of experience acquired from leading Guyana. Keep up the good work for all in Guyana VP of Jagdeo.
He’s a fraud how are you guys so delusional they’ve always been frauds the only ones benefiting from these deals are them and China and eventually they’ll just destroy the land that Guyana has by developing areas with rich biodiversity
I suspect some PNC people who are friends with the Queens N.Y. Mayor are some opposition over here are pushing these people to interview PPPC GOVERNMENT. WHILE THEY STAY SAFE BUT THOSE WHO LAUGH LAST,LAUGH THE BEST...THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOUR REMINED ME HOW THEY TRIED TO INTERROGATE DR CHEDDIE JAGAN....BE AWARE.
We should be reminded of the dark days of the cold war.. British/ American have influenced PNC Burnham to segregate Indo Guyanese and Afro Guyanese, thus racial divide and civil unrest had dangerously occured. We don't need this anymore.. We need PEACE , LOVE with Americans and every countries.. Just like how they would like for themselves..

Was a good try! You know this was something like national enquirer right.. BS reporter with her set up script 👍 he could have insulted her but he handled her well. But he didn't give her enough of the Corruption examples!
She asked for CORRUPTION I don't know why he didn't direct her to the headquarters of apnu. Why be POLITE?!!!! she was trying to get some kind of juicy gossip for her rag.
I'd like to thank those who have given (and continue to give) their blood for Guyana. Today, we're a paper democracy, but tomorrow, we shall be a democratic people.
She sounds like British accent but is working for the Americans as it seems. She is doing her job but she is like all other journalist must know and follow the laws about journalism be it with the top dogs or man in the streets.
Hon. V.P. Jagdeo, We the the Senior Citizens of Guyana living abroad who use to work in Rain , Mud & Scharching Sunshine in Sugar Cane , Rice and Bauxite as the main industry to Maintained Guyana, must get retirement benefits. Especially from our Natural Resources. Burnham and Granger drained us physiologically, mentally, physically, emotionally and economically. So we had to seek medical treatment and economically sustainable care from abroad. Burnham / Granger and Cabals always force Guyana backwards . So do give us our legally retirement benefits as other countries treat there citizens abroad. Thanks for your honest consideration.
Yes you are 100% right, the current administration should make sure all seniors citizens of Guyana are receiving their correct amount at the end of each month, whether you live in Guyana or abroad, that's yours, you deserve it and you worked for it.
