VIslanders are being cowards- Conrad A. Maduro
Meanwhile, host of the programme, Conrad A. Maduro said people of the Virgin Islands have to stop being cowardly and take a stand.
“We are intelligent people but what we showing is we are being cowards, and as the world knows I have not met any coward BV Islanders in my lifetime until now, if I am correct in saying so,” he remarked.
Both men were speaking during the sixty-minute programme on ZBVI 780 AM on Saturday October 1, 2016.
Time to get serious
Both were of the view that it is time for locals to be more serious.
“Virgin Islanders I think you have to get a little more serious in what you doing and how you do it and get out there and get yourself involved. You don’t have to be afraid, we just have to speak up and speak the truth” Mr Scatliffe said.
He drew reference to Jesus Christ who spoke the truth and was crucified for it.
“So who are you, who are we? I am saying that to say if you believe in something you just go out for it and when people see that you believe so strongly they will follow you, they will support you. But when you just talking and not showing any real good sense of what you saying, then they will just say you wasting their time. I think the time has come when we really have to come together and do what we have to do.”
Join forces
Mr Scatliffe continued “Because together you are strong, divided you fall. If you believe that you can do something on your own and believe that you are going to get it done, it’s not going to happen.”
The talk show co-host pointed out that while they faithfully week after week bring to the fore issues affecting the country and while some may reject it, there are others who want to do something but are holding back due to one reason or the other.
To those who are afraid he had this to say to them: “There are a number of you listening out there who would want to get involved and you are afraid because of your job, affiliation and what not. Nobody can trouble you, you have to rise to do what you want, don’t be afraid, because if you don’t stand for something you fall for anything.”

Governments count on people calling it quits after a short period of time. They go back to their normal routine and it all blows over. What's the point?
For those who listened to the elections last time, the NDP behavior is not a surprise. Nor is the spending,
secrecy, lack of transparency, self-importance or benefits. There is no master plan and they have lost sight of the
bigger picture and ALL the socio-economic societies. So be brave and change the leadership.
This begins with small district meetings to identify the problems, then have a larger meeting with representatives of each district (with the meeting open to the public). Then identify emerging leaders to support. It is the only way to get fresh blood who recognizes the social concerns. Now THAT takes courage!!
