A number of prominent Jamaicans have taken to social media to react to a comedic TikTok sketch posted by Dancehall artist and Jamaican YouTuber Wayne Marshall. The video that has amassed more than 180 thousands views on Tik Tok is captioned, “When you are in church giving thanks and praises for your award, until such man walks in…Usher him out!”
Days prior to Wayne Marshall’s viral TikTok post, Dancehall artist Mr. Vegas expressed dissatisfaction with Marshall receiving an Order of Distinction. Mr. Vegas argued that Marshall’s impact on the Dancehall community didn’t warrant the award, sparking a heated debate in the local entertainment sphere.
Flashback to Pastor Gino Jennings’ Controversial Encounter with Mr. Vegas
Wayne’s video response was welcomed by a number of fans because it appeared to be a reference to Mr. Vegas’ controversial encounter with Pastor Gino Jennings which involved him being escorted out of a church service.
Mixed Reaction From Local Entertainers
Seasoned Jamaican choreographer Latona Style publicly supported Wayne Marshall, praising him as a positive role model within the Reggae and Dancehall community. However, sports journalist Oral Tracey aligned himself with Mr. Vegas, suggesting that other artists were more deserving of recognition. Several notable figures within the entertainment industry, including Kemar Highcon, Alaine, I-Octane, Aisha Davis, and Jodian Pantry, echoed their support for Wayne Marshall through comments and emojis on social media.
Mr. Vegas Questions Marshall’s Eligibility for Award
In several posts following his broadcasts, Mr. Vegas continued to challenge Wayne Marshall’s eligibility for the Order of Distinction, advocating for the recognition of Dancehall artists Beenie Man and Bounty Killer, who have remained silent on the discussion.
Other Awardees in the Entertainment Industry
Reggae legend Marcia Griffiths and acclaimed Dancehall artist Tarrus Riley were also honored for their exceptional contributions to the entertainment industry. Riley, like Wayne Marshall, received the prestigious Order of Distinction, while Griffiths received the Order of Jamaica, the nation’s fourth-highest honor.
Nominations for National Honors and Awards
The process of selecting awardees for National Honors and Awards is an inclusive one. The Office of the Prime Minister invites public nominations every year, allowing citizens to play a role in celebrating individuals who have made significant contributions to Jamaica. The authority to bestow Civil Honors and Awards lies with The Governor-General, who acts on the recommendation of the Prime Minister. The official announcement of recipients typically takes place during the Independence Celebration in August, a significant event in the nation’s calendar.
The Institute of Caribbean Studies (ICS) announced that Jamaicans Michael Blake, Stephen “Cat” Coore, and Jacky Wright will be honored at the 30th Annual Caribbean American Heritage (CARAH) Awards Gala on November 17, 2023. The event, which will take place at the JW Marriott in Washington DC, is the premier celebration of the achievements of Caribbean Americans and the supportive contributions of Friends of the Caribbean toward Caribbean American interests.
Luminary Award: Stephen “Cat” Coore
Jamaican and founding member of the Third World band, Stephen “Cat” Coore, will be presented with the Luminary Award. Stephen Coore was born in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1959, the son of a deputy prime minister and a music teacher. He attended Forster Davis School of Music to study vocals and guitar. He founded Third World in 1973 with keyboardist Michael “Ibo” Cooper, drummer Carl Barovier, singer Milton “Prilly” Hamilton, and bassist Colin “Oliver” Leslie. It debuted in 1973 at Jamaica’s celebration of independence. Third World is one of the iconic bands in the history of reggae music. Third World is arguably the longest-existing band in Jamaica’s music history and is noted for its crossover skill and ability to blend reggae with sounds from Black American culture. The band is known for its reggae-influenced hits including “Now That We Found Love” and “96 Degrees In The Shade.” The group has received multiple Grammy nominations and was awarded the 2012 American Caribbean Heritage Award. Third World serves as a Goodwill Ambassador for the Issa Trust Foundation’s pediatric care initiative in rural Jamaica and as the “Oceans Ambassadors” for the Alligator Head Foundation and its Clean Ocean initiatives in Portland, Jamaica.
Public Service Award: Michael Blake
Former New York Assemblyman for the 79th District and former Vice-Chair of the Democratic National Committee, the Hon. Michael Blake, will receive the CARAH Outstanding Public Service Award. Blake was born in 1982 in the Bronx, New York, the son of Jamaican immigrants who named him after National Heroes Michael Manley and Alexander Bustamante. He earned a degree in journalism from Northwestern University. He began his political career in the Michigan House of Representatives working for State Senator Jeffrey Schoenberg. Blake went on to be the deputy political director in Iowa for Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election and served as associate director of public engagement and deputy associate directory of the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs during the Obama Administration. He served in the New York Assembly from 2014 to 2020.
Trailblazer Award: Jacky Wright
Jacky Wright was born in London to Jamaican parents and was raised in Tottenham. Her family moved to the US when she was a teenager. She is the first Chief Technology and Platform Officer (CTPO) to be appointed at McKinsey and will be presented with the Trailblazer Award. As CTPO, she leads the firm’s overall technology strategy and portfolio and heads the international tech team at McKinsey, which serves over 40,000 colleagues in 66 countries. Prior to working at McKinsey, Wright was the chief digital officer and corporate vice president at Microsoft US. She was ranked the Most Powerful Black Briton in the United Kingdom by Powerlist 2022. She is a Women in Science and Engineering Ambassador, a member of the World Economic Forum Chief Digital Officer Community, and is on the advisory board for the Paul H. Chook Department of Information Systems and Statistics at Baruch College, City University of New York.
The Institute of Caribbean Studies (ICS)
The Institute of Caribbean Studies (ICS) sponsors the annual Caribbean American Heritage (CARAH) Awards Gala to recognize outstanding achievements of those of Caribbean Heritage in diverse fields, including the arts, entrepreneurship, science and technology, sports, and public service. The theme of the event for 2023 is “A Celebration of Excellence and Service.” The president and founder of the ICS, Dr. Claire Nelson, noted that the 2023 honorees exemplify “a distinguished cohort of Caribbean trailblazers, visionary leaders, daring pioneers, and exceptional people” who have made outstanding contributions to their fields of endeavor.
Now that Jamaican Remone Watson has won the Digicel Rising Stars 19, he wants to recreate the success enjoyed by fellow Jamaican, Tessanne Chin, when she was named the winner of “The Voice,” the American singing competition broadcast on NBC television.
Winner of Rising Stars 2023
Remone Watson, a native of Hanover Parish in Jamaica, was announced as the winner of Digicel Rising Star 19 on October 1, 2023. Defeating nine other contestants, Watson won the top prize of J$1.5 million in cash but does not yet have an offer of a recording contract, something that had been included in the prize in previous years. However, Watson plans to participate in “The Voice,” hoping, he says, to represent Jamaica as Tessanne Chin did and make the nation proud. He told the Jamaica Star in an interview that “it would be something great” to enter the competition in hopes of winning, as he doesn’t think “a lot of conscious music is coming from youths these days.”
Bond with Tessanne Chin
Watson has a great respect for Chin and calls her his vocal coach and mentor. He has known the singer since he was 11 years old, he explained, and said they have “quite a bond.” Watson shared photographs of the two vocalists, one as they are now and one when they were younger, as part of a Happy Birthday wish to Tessanne on Instagram.
Success of Previous Digicel Rising Stars
Of the previous winners of Digicel Rising Stars over the competition’s past 19 years, only Chris Martin and Romain Virgo succeeded in having notable careers on the global stage. Both signed with VP Records and released popular albums: “Big Deal” for Martin in 2017 and “Then” in 2019 and “Romain Virgo RV” for Virgo in 2010, “The System” in 2012, which hit Number 6 on the US Reggae Albums chart, and “Lovesick” in 2018, a Number 1 Billboard Reggae Album.
Following in the Footsteps of Tessanne Chin
On the other hand, Watson hopes his experience will be more like that of Tessanne Chin, the only foreign-born contestant to win “The Voice” competition to date. She enjoyed considerable recognition and success following her performance of “Bridge over Troubled Water” by Simon and Garfunkel in the semifinal round of “The Voice.” Her recording reached Number 1 on the iTunes chart, making Chin the first contestant in the program’s Fifth Season to hit the top of the charts within the voting window. The performance was her debut on other US music charts as well, including the Hot 100 chart, the Digital Songs chart, and the Heatseekers Songs chart. Her version of “I Have Nothing” by Whitney Houston took the top spot on the iTunes chart, the first contestant to make it twice in the season. She went on to be ranked on other popular charts, and a compilation album of studio versions of her performances on “The Voice” hit Number 4 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart after its release on iTunes. As “The Voice” winner, she received US$100,000, a song written for her by OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder, and a recording deal with Universal Music Group/Republic Records.
the assault of a Bartica Secondary school student by a teacher and the outcome of that probe will determine the way forward for the teacher.
“This teacher was, in his view, and in the view of many parents, merely disciplining. That is not how we expect disciplining to happen and we have very strong rules about what must happen, what processes must be employed and engaged before a child can be disciplined.
“It would be up to the investigation to find out if that was complied with,” Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand told the News Room in an invited comment on Monday.
According to Manickchand, the teacher, identified as Morris Waddell has since been sent on administrative leave, pending the outcome of the investigation.
The News Room had reported that the incident stemmed after the student turned up to school wearing white socks, instead of black, as is the school’s dress code.
In a video that has begun circulating, the teacher is seen pushing the child down into his seat at least three times while violently pointing a ruler at him and hitting him on the feet.
The teacher proceeds to grab the student by his left foot and flipped him on the ground, with the student landing on his back.
With the student still on the ground, the teacher removes the shoes and the socks from his feet. This was done in the presence of the entire class.
In recent months, there have been several incidents of violence in schools involving students, teachers and even parents. Manickchand had repeatedly said these incidents will not be tolerated.
According to Manickchand, efforts are currently ongoing which will see several programmes being rolled out soon to tackle this.
“But we are going to publish shortly what each school must do with their children…We have already began to streamline what we want at the schools. Even as we address all schools, we still have to have individual looks because some schools are more vulnerable to different kinds of behaviour than others, for a variety of reasons, now all together related to education and schools but more other schools,” the Education Minister explained.
special carbon credits issued to it last December, was executed with Hess Corporation, a US oil giant and one of the companies searching for and producing petroleum in the country’s nascent oil and gas sector.
Out of the first payment received earlier this year, the Vice President said some US$120 million has been set aside to construct more kokers, conservancy dams and canals. These will help to “climate-proof” the economy and help make the agricultural sector less vulnerable to disasters like droughts and floods.
“Society has transformed and so will be required of the NIS. The challenges of NIS have to be resolved now.”
A priority of the government when it assumed office in 2020 was to address the complaints received from contributors with pending claims at the time amounting to 14,000 as of November 2020. In support of this effort, the Cabinet undertook a series of nationwide outreach sessions that took the services of NIS to the citizens, with 12 sessions held in Regions 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10.
Over 1,300 people across the country have benefitted from these sessions, many of whom are in receipt of Old Age Pensions after waiting for a number of years. Additionally, all inherited 14,000 pending claims have been resolved.
However, the Finance Minister said much more remains to be done.
Dr. Singh reiterated that the NIS was conceived in 1969 and remains today the preeminent national institution to provide for those who are unable to work, for medical insurance and for the sick and the elderly and to provide for those who exit employment.
During the 54th Anniversary ceremony, children of NIS employees who performed outstandingly at various annual examinations, including the National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA) and the Caribbean Examination Council (CXC) were provided with Bursary Awards while long-serving employees and retirees also received awards.

However, Ramjeet found a more than capable ally in Shazam Ali, the pair forging an unbroken sixth-wicket stand of 45 to seal the championship.
The duo took 14 off the 17th over to reduce the equation to a more manageable 29 off 18, and then 12 off the 18th over to make it 17 off 12.
Enmore skipper Satash Jainarine conceded just five off the penultimate over, leaving spinner Chaitram Balgobin to defend 12 off the last over.
Any intention Balgobin had of silencing the Lusignan supporters was dashed off the very first ball which Ramjeet clobbered for six to bring up his half-century, and three balls later a calm and composed Ali sealed the match with a boundary.

Ramjeet struck five sixes and three fours in his unbeaten 52, while Ali found the boundary six times in his 32 not out. Openers Robin Williams and Somnauth Bharratt made 16 each, and former national cricket Krishna Deosarran chipped in with 14.
Bowling for Enmore, Richard Chaturia took 2-20, Balgobin 2-43 and Rajpaul Basdeo 1-25.
Enmore’s innings was built on a solid 70 from opener Rudolph Singh, the left-hander hitting five sixes and three fours. Apart from 36 (3x4s, 1×6) from First-Class player Amir Khan, no other Enmore batter got going.
Bowling for Lusignan, spinner Chanderpaul Ramraj took 3-15 off three overs and Kumar Bishundial 3-21 off three overs.

In the third place game, Industry Rubis defeated Strathavon. Strathavon made 119 in a game reduced to 16 overs, and Industry Rubis won by four wickets.
At the presentation ceremony, Lusignan received the championship trophy and G$150,000, Enmore had to settle for the runner-up trophy and G$75,000, Industry Rubis G$50,000 and Strathavon $25,000.
Ramjeet was named Man-of-the-Match for his match-winning innings, while Rudolph was adjudged Best Batsman and Ramraj Best Bowler.
she signed for Scottish football giants Celtic FC women.
Before going to Celtic, Cummings’s talent was first displayed in a Guyana shirt in April 2022, when she scored both of the Lady Jags’ goals in the 2-2 CONCACAF championship draw versus Trinidad and Tobago.
Sydney Cummings at Celtic (Celtic FC Media)
The 24-year-old, who first appeared for the Lady Jags as a 19-year old in 2018, spoke about her Guyanese upbringing, football foundations and current professional journey.
“My dad is from Georgetown and from age four he got me in soccer. I have two older brothers and my dad threw us into every sport when we were younger.”
Cummings continued: “However, I was comfortable playing soccer with a close group of friends I had growing up with, then by age nine I started playing soccer competitively. At age 14 I made the personal decision to take soccer seriously in college.”
Cummings played college football at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) system at Brown University in Rhode Island, which is one of the eight Ivy League sports schools.
She further explained how her first connections to the Lady Jags occurred and recent Celtic FC Women’s move: “When I was finishing my freshman year at Brown, my coach received an email asking if anyone at the school had Guyanese heritage. I never saw the email so I’m not 100% sure, although I’m pretty sure they were looking for me directly.”
“That first experience was very special. It was wonderful to connect with my Guyanese family and something me and my dad share.”
Cummings continued: “Playing in Europe has always been on my radar, especially in the United Kingdom (UK). Celtic was one of those clubs that was on my mind passively and in the USA Celtic is one of those British clubs that is always spoken about highly, so coming here was simply, wow. The facilities and the fans are incredible.”
Sydney Cummings (#5) and Canada based winger Shanice Alfred
Historically, no Golden Jaguars or Lady Jags has played at a bigger club than Cummings currently while simultaneously representing Guyana.
Men’s players, the Cort brothers- Leon and Carl- and Neil Danns played for Newcastle United, Leicester City and Crystal Palace before representing Guyana.
Cummings is also the third Caribbean player to represent one of the two famous Scottish clubs, Celtic and Rangers.
Trinidad’s Soca Warriors duo of midfielder Russell Latapy represented Rangers and goal-keeper Tony Warner Celtic, briefly.
“Hearing those things is very rewarding and humbling considering the sacrifices I and all female footballers put in to play this game that we love”, said Cummings.
“I may be the one that goes around and kicks the ball which is all great, but there are so many other people who played a role and I’m here because of them.”
The Men’s and Women’s Jaguars have had a large diaspora player influx over the last 15 years. The women more than men starting with Canadian heritage ladies that propelled the programme during the 2010 World Cup qualifiers in Mexico.
Today, the Lady Jags diaspora includes USA and UK-based players.
Both teams have had to deal with chatter in the Guyanese football community regarding “foreign” players’ presence in the squad – but the women have faced it more acutely and Cummings gave her thoughts on the matter.
“Kayla (De Souza) one time got very emotional about it saying yes I wasn’t born in Guyana, but if it wasn’t for this country I wouldn’t exist. So I think that is the mentality all of us have.”
Cummings continued: “We feel that extra responsibility of playing for Guyana. At the end of the day I can get on a flight and go back to the USA – so the point is always about what do you leave behind and all of us understand the legacy aspect.
“My second response would be this is not what we want it to be. If I could give all my resources to help the Guyanese based players to get better accessibility, more of a platform, improved facilities – I would and I’m suspecting this is what maybe people who make those comments in Guyana don’t respectfully understand.
“When we speak to the GFF, we are fighting and want the Guyana born and based player to have better accessibility to the national team. So it’s not about me, I can play football anywhere else – but we come and play to hopefully inspire young girls in the country”, Cummings concluded.

On Friday, October 20, the five new Access Grassroots Programme coaches officially signed their appointment letters and received essential equipment, including bibs, balls and cones, through the Member Assistance Financial Programme (M-FAP).
In early October, the five football stalwarts successfully completed an intensive workshop organised by the GFF Coaching Department which focused on national youth coaching philosophy and provided comprehensive instruction and guidance to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge to become effective coaches and mentors for the Access Grassroots Programme.
The training session was led by GFF Technical Director Bryan Joseph, Coaches Education Officer Lyndon France and Coach Mentor Linsworth Gilbert who covered several crucial topics, including child safeguarding, grassroots structure, technical development, the roles of grassroots players and coaches, and the importance of fostering a positive and inclusive environment.
On Sunday, during the first on-field session coaches had the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills they had acquired over the last few weeks. Coach Dennis Hunte said the afternoon “was a success” and that he is looking forward to seeing more children “coming out (and) getting to understand the game so we can prepare for the future.”
Vibert Butts, who trained the eight to ten-year-old group, added that the youngsters had an enjoyable experience, and that “as the (programme) progresses then you employ systems.”
An important feature of the Access Grassroots Programme is the mobility of coaches who will travel between different venues to provide training in the essential skills to future football stars.
The current grassroots initiatives of the GFF are funded through M-FAP and consist of a diverse range of programmes, including the establishment of nine regional Academy Training Centers (ATC), the implementation of year-round grassroots programmes by Regional Associations, and support for various football clubs.
Under President Forde’s leadership, the administration remains committed to investing in the development of the grassroots ecosystem. This investment aims to provide young boys and girls with accessible opportunities to engage with the fundamental structure of football. (GFF Press Release)
