Our Review

We Believe this site has a promising market and a remarkable experience although the doubt of copyright issues might arrise, even thought there is no download ability. The Design is Quite Undesirable since the navigation didn’t fit in our Browser effective hence we have to refit to take a screenshot.

It appears great thought was put together to make this website possible therefore giving this great algorithm, quite effective.

We would give a 5/10 rating for the site due to the fact that there is a need for more modern additional music to the library however nonetheless this site is a definitively an ultimate recommendation for any reggae lover or those who don’t even know they love reggae.

JLP 89th Annual Conference: On Point

In keeping with the Our New categories introduced at the starting of the year we will be delving into the regions political matters and in point at Jamaican Matters. If You would love to be apart of our political review/coverage of other Caribbean islands. then feel free to view  Our Contributors Section
JLP 89th Annual Conference: On Point 2Is The JLP ready for another election? In all accounts based on Yesterdays 69th annual conference… Possibly.

Unlike previously lavished conference held at the Arena  this year the conference’s scaled down to an admitted effort of focus on rebuilding the party based on the lost from the last elections by inspiring the delegates of the Jamaica Labour Party one would say they are ready.

Andrew Holiness, The Affirmed Leader of the party Affirmed the parties standing as a social and economic party which mission is to serve the national interest of Jamaica.

The conference will be held under the theme, “Vision, Focus, Build, Connect”.

Thought not a matter of Proud retention, a member of the party, Mr Warmington made an injunction which was later pulled against the deputy-leaders of the party saying they nomination was unconstitutionally.

“IT’S MY generation now! We must stand up and take charge of our country. I am sick and tired of them! They must go!” declared an uncharacteristically impassioned leader of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) Andrew Holness as he addressed the party’s annual conference yesterday.

Among other local issues that were discussed were the Countries economics, International Monetary Fund (IMF), free health care, PATH and the Career Advancement Programme put in place for the country’s poor, foreign exchange market, the parties discord and others.

In conclusion The Party has made a great improvement in the marketing of themselves among others and we look forward the the improving developments ahead.

Bloggers Opinion

OK! based on this video… The Video delivered the marvelous rendition of a song with interesting lyrics not to mention the amazingly choreographed dance moves. The concept of this video matches the lyrics and its pretty catchy of a song too.

We would give the video a rating of 9 out of 10 based on the bloggers assessment.

We will be sure to look out for more videos to come. Feel Free to leave your comments below.
