Obamas still vacationing in BVI
The popular political couple landed at the Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport on January 23, 2017 via a private jet belonging to Billionaire Virgin Islander Sir Richard C. N. Branson.
The couple is staying at Moskito Island and not Necker Island as being reported by some local, regional and international press.
There have been many false reports about the sighting of the Obamas on Tortola,Virgin Gorda, Necker Island, Beef Island and even St John; however, our Team of Reporters (Paparazzi) stake out all over the British and United States Virgin Islands and have confirmed that the reports are false.
Rumours & false information
While it's a fact that most if not all residents want to at least get a glimpse of the former American First Couple, rumours that Mr Obama and his wife Michelle are to visit Tortola to go shopping at the Tortola Pier Park are untrue, according to our newsroom’s sources closely associated with the private visit.
Information circulating last week that the former President was to visit the Elmore Stoutt High School on Tortola was also misinformation as it never happened.
There were also rumours that the couple was to be on Virgin Gorda playing golf at Nail Bay, and was scheduled for a private dinner there with some top government officials; however, that turned out to be false also.
In addition, it was said that the Obamas had dinner with Governor John S. Duncan OBE; however, that too turn out not to be so.
Also circulating is that the former First Lady Mrs Obama has roots on Tortola; however, this is also false.
What is true!
The Obamas are still on Moskito Island catching up on some long needed relaxation after some eight years in the United States White House.
Their trip is a private one and not many senior government and elected officials were even aware they were coming to the BVI except for the Governor, Premier, Deputy Premier and Police Commissioner.
Their schedule as of now is unclear and so is their departure date. Recently, some students from St Thomas in the USVI wrote to Mr Obama requesting to meet him or that he visits their school in St Thomas. It is unclear if that will be honoured.
Local educator, political activist and former Miss BVI Sharie B.Y. de Castro also did a poem dedicated to Mrs Obama, invoking the popular phrase "when they go low we go high."
Finally, today January 30, 2017, through a spokesman, ex-President Obama broke his silence on the United States political dilemma by expressing solidarity with those protesting President Trump’s ban on travelers and refugees entering the USA from certain Muslim-majority countries.
Our newsroom will be the first to update you of any sighting of Mr and Mrs Obama or if we get accurate information on their schedules.

After 8 years achieving nothing in the White House, except breaking records for the amount of golf he played, Obama needed a break from the golf course.
By convention, former Presidents keep quiet. Even Bush kept quiet about Obama's complete failures in office. However, Obama who has no legacy, other than as a failure and playing more golf than any former President, is still trying to be important. Please go home and shut up.
Don't envy me now. I have a special invitation, and we are family. The First Lady and I have roots from Long Look. :-)
May God continue to be a shield around you. Blessings to you both and your beautiful daughters.
as he wants. Give him belongers status, Land holding Licence so he
can buy a piece of land or give him a piece of Crown land in exchange
to promote tourism to the bvi. Make him an honorary citizen so he can
come and go as he likes. We need to make the best of his visit, while
america is trying to firgue out where them heading.
Please Please, send back our president, we make a big mistake and elected a an orange head fool for a president.
It is a joke gone bad, we was joking. Please Mr. Obama and Mr. BVI help is needed in the USA. Do not sweet talk
him into staying down there, I am afraid he might take up the offer, then that will be the end of us and you all would be responsible and have eggs on your face.
