"With a population of 20 million, Ghana, the West African country that served as a major source, and key port for shipment of slaves to Jamaica, has to date, virtually no economic or trading links with the island.
But believing that Jamaica is well positioned to become the hub for a vibrant trading with the Caribbean, Ghanian president, John Kufuor this week sent a group of senior ministers to explore how, when, and in what products and services such linkages may be forged ...

NOW THIS IS WORTHY OF FURTHER READING.....Instead of all of the other BS that goes on in this forum between blacks from different hemispheres.
Would love to see more of this kind of governmental relations between Caribbean and Africa .

Hi MarcusGarveyLives
I undertand where you are coming from totally i do, i belive that if the countires of the Caribbean can establish links with african countries it can only mean better things for black people...
but
I don't agree with 'less of this' in relation to elephant man, you have to accept that 'elephant man' is part of the young people dem culture, as is bashment and dancehall. He represents wether people like it or not the jamican young 'gehtto' culture. I know sometimes his lyrics can be a bit 'too much' but if you look at artist like assasin yeah he talks about whats gonin on in da streets of kingston like all da youts dem pon da street a kill one aonther... I think it is about time older people start realising this, no offence, assuming you are of a certain age but it makes me mad a little because elephant man has more respect then the president  ... Its the same situation with reggaeton, the old timers of the spanish speaking islands and countries have something to say about daddy yankee and the other reggeaton artists because of the high sexual refrences and talking about killing and gangs, etc, the old timers tried to ban it because they felt that it gave a bad representation of PR, cuba, DR, etc but at the end of the day reggaeton emerged from just 'rappin' about everyday life living in the 'ghetto' and of the stuggles of PR etc. Whats wrong with that? Its the same thing Jamican dancehall/ bashment artists are doing. Is It not better to have all out it the open to try and change things rather then keep it closed up and pretend that all the badness doesent exist...
One Love

I also applaud the closer links because I have a lot of time for Ghana. However, like the last 2 posters I don't want people to celebrate the potential loss of parts of Jamaican youth culture (apart from th gunman) because its ours and even though people like Elephant Man can go a bit too far in their lyrics sometimes and I wouldn't dance to all of his records, I appreciate that he is unique to Jamaica and do not want him watered down or replaced. Similarly I wouldn't want Ghana to lose parts of their culture to fit in with Jamaica.

Hi
before i start people in JA still wear them dancehall clothes to funerals?? if they do lord God know wonder it's creating a storm??? Actually one time when i went over to JA for a funeral there was a lot of girls including some of my cusions who were upsetting the older peoples for wearing black batti ridders soo but it was proper hot that day..
i agree with you to an extent but at the same time like i have said before jamaicans, DR's, Trini's, bajans, PR's, st lucians, antiguans, etc (caribbean and south/central america) we ARE different to AFRICA no matter what you or afrocentrics have to say We ARE different from the culture of africa WE just ARE. YES we still have similar customs to that of africa i suppose it would be stupid not to say we don't, but slavery has happened hundreds and hundreds of years ago, we have inter-breeded (sorry @mods) and changed our culture and customs to adpat to each island.
And the nations of Africa is really going to wholly accept jamaicans, i don't think so??? The music and food maybe...
We cannot go back ot something that we don't know. Only our ancestors will of generations ever connect with Africa, look how long that is. All we can do is acknowldege this fact and move on.<<< (am really sorry)
Brother I know it is hard but you have to move on and all the thinkers like you, this is the 21st Century not the revolution of Jamaica...
Leave jamaica to Jamaicans.
One Love
Ms Price

Something don't seem right, why now? why all of a sudden? Whats to gain 4real? To be fair to Jamaicans they always seem to have the sh*tty end of the stick when it comes to international deals...but is that not the fault of the goverment??
