Trump will be approached to invest in VI economy – Dr Kilari A. Paul
Dr Paul was on a four-day mission to the Territory, bringing with him one of the world’s greatest in boxing history, the only four-time heavyweight boxing champion, Evander ‘The Real Deal’ Holyfield, 55. The team spent the past few days touring and exploring business opportunities around the territory and has also took to the pulpits of at least two churches, the Cane Garden Bay Methodist Church and the New Life Baptist Church, both on Tortola.
Just mere hours before hopping onboard the Road Town Fast Ferry for the US Virgin Islands (USVI), the duo had a meeting with Premier and Minister of Finance Dr The Honourable D. Orlando Smith (AL) and subsequently met with local journalists.
Money matters
Dr Paul said, “Cash rules in all matters. Where there is no money it is hard to rebuild an island like this, that has been damaged so badly, houses and roads and buildings and offices and even after four months there is still lots more needed to be done…I will be speaking to President Trump also, I am on his advisory team since 2002 and I will be speaking to other people that I know with the help of the Premier and his office.”
In love with the VI
According to Dr Paul, he was moved by the hospitality of the VI people.
“Evander Holyfield, he is in love, we are in love with the BVI. People have been so loving, friendly, hospitable, I don’t have enough words to say. All I can say is love help us, unite us, and bring us together to all our efforts, especially the investors.”
According to Dr Paul, it is heartbreaking to see how the VI has been affected by hurricanes Irma and Maria of September 2017, “And heartbreaking to see how the world has forgotten, and heartbreaking to see how much reconstruction efforts need to be taking place, that’s the reason why we are here mainly.”
He; however, complimented the territory’s recovery progress when compared to other neighbouring countries, who in some instance were not as hard hit as the VI.
“If you compare the US Puerto Rico, still people have no much electricity, devastated, people committing suicide. I was talking to Brother Jerry Farara [Gerard St C. Farara QC] yesterday and I said wow almost 80/90 percent of the people getting electricity back, which is most important, having water back which is most important, and of course the roads and the house will take time to reconstruct.”
The Big Plan
There is a big plan by Dr Paul and Mr Holyfield, and that is to promote the staging of summits here in the territory in order to bring big spenders.
“Our goal is to conduct future summits like we have done for the last 35 years in the US and around the world. In Nigeria we had 54 presidents, in Sudan we had 39 presidents brought, in India 2015 we had 44 presidents. We want presidents, prime ministers, billionaires, donors, investors, leaders to do the summits here,” Dr Paul said, noting he has communicated this vision to Premier Smith.”
According to Dr Paul, he has also extended an invitation to Premier Smith to be in India on April 14 and 15, 2018 for a global peace rally. “And I think he has accepted.”
Premier Smith confirmed that this was part of his discussion with Dr Paul and Mr Holyfield. “I also know that as a result of their visit, there will be more interest internationally of what can be done to assist the BVI in the recovery process.”
While noting that its important that he must do what is necessary for the recovery of the territory Premier Smith added, “Apart from the loans and grants etcetera from the UK (United Kingdom) and other places, we need the international community to work with us to recover.”
“World Leaders” is the name of the proposed summit which, according to Premier Smith, has been the vision of the owner of Buck Island.

There are reports online that in 2005, the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability terminated the membership of Paul’s organization, Gospel to the Unreached Millions, for allegedly failing to meet financial accountability and governance standards.
We sleep with anyone.
Why this man come here talking sh*t look how Donald treat the PUERTO RICOIANS Donald is a very nasty man towards black people. This man is worst than Donald. People wake up these two people call Donald and Paul is all for themselves. We people in the BVI have to be very careful of who want to cash in and take advantage of us. Let us all keep a sober mind because we have a done deal government. LORD WE NEED YOU MORE THAN EVER.
Hope this gang is not gullible this time around in these times.

Be Careful!
Instead of looking for outside help, we should focus on what we can do internally. Hon. Lavity Stout had a plan and a vision for the territory and the present government has none. With all the intellectuals they have, they cannot find a solution. They have neglected the Small Man and cater for the Big Man government according to Hon. Mark Vanterpool. Unless they change their way of thinking and embrace the small farmers, carpenters, fisher men and the other producers, there will be difficulties. I wonder how many of the Big Men are able to assist them now.
