    If you want to do a thing properly you have to practise. Rambuka's coup was such a practice.

      Gee I feel so out of my place from Nabua. I hope what you fear hasn't happened anyway... If it has I am sorry.... Just like to doubt it from eight good men at the top of its blood...

    The main culprit was Ratu Mara. He knew that he was going to lose the election. Come on people? Think? Tell me that who was the top man in the Army, Ratu Epeli Nailatikau, who is Ratu Maras son inlaw that who was sent away oversees because of the family ties, so he told Rabuka after a game of golf in Deuba, with Falo(falotyres)and his brother to do the job, if you know what I mean. . I wish if some people can just come out with the truth. To many stones to be overturned about the politics in Fiji. At that time, Sandy was second in command, Rabuka was third, but Ratu Mara used him as his tools and know people are pointing fingers at him. Wrong person to blame, but his taking it like a man.

      none the less he knew what he was doing and was wrong but did it anyway because he himself wanted the power hell with him

      He did it because he had no choice. The order came from his commander in chief,Mara, that who became president after the whole scenario, don't forget,also recognize has the first President of Fiji. Now, tell me who was the power hungry person here? Flyinfiji, I was only replying to a statement that was made to Rabuka, because of the drummer at the time. Now, all's gone, the culture begins. All's the past now, about Rabuka, I ain't related to him, but it was something that was brought up, worth debating about.that's all i can say. May the good Lord bless you, me, all our people abroad, and mostly, the one's back home, in Fiji. Please Lord help them. Now, i think it's time for us to forgive, and forget the past, It's time to move forward, and look for a bright future, for the new generation's to come. Good luck, and God Bless to you my friend.

      My friend, what can you say about what's going on in Fiji right now. Talking about living in denial?what about Mara, did any one ever challenged him for the wrong he did? Noooo. Why, because he's a Ratu?No because he's smart. Have you ever seen a pure Fijian with blue eyes, sharp nose, look my friend, let the bygone, be bygone. If we keep going down this pathway, their will be no ending. God Bless.

    You regret it Rambuka, but surely haven’t learnt from your mistakes as yet. You see South China Sea, soon that will be Fiji. We Indians, surely are greedy but loved and lived like family with the Fijian community, because Fiji was our home as well. Beware of the Chinese though, they will take land from underneath your foot and your legs won’t event know about it. If you don’t believe me, look at Tibet.
