I dono why people duz still call it “brain drain” cuz da amount a drainin we had ova de years we brain supposed to be EmpTy by now. Trust me, if de drainage around Georgetown wuz even quarter de amout a de brain drain dat we’ve experienced, 2005 wudda bin disaster free, an we wud have No reason to worry every time we see rain clouds.
However…
“In December 2009 University of Guyana’s best graduating student Loria-Mae Heywood in her valedictory address called on the government to do more to create an enabling environment to stem the relentless brain drain of university graduates.
A year later she is still unemployed after having failed to secure a job since being awarded the President’s Medal for her academic achievement. It is not what she expected.”

Now show me de silver lining in da dark f**kin cloud! “BEST GRADUATING STUDENT” after a YEAR can‘t get a wuk no way after sending out 41 applications. FORTY ONE budday! Geez! So is wa kina hope ya'll offerin we who graduate as "average" students? I don wan even imagine...and den dem gon get de nerve fuh aks why people leavin Guyana. De frickin slavery yuh ga go tru at UG fuh get a “Degree,” and fuh wuh? Fuh earn de equivalent of a McDonalds cashier salary? Das why nuff Guyanese optin fuh skip UG, migrate and wuk at McDonalds and the like. They rather not waste four years a dey life fuh still gat to migrate and go wuk deh! lol
An den tuh, after all dem years of slavery, yuh got BIG debt fuh payback to de government, (well we loan people at least cause we poor). Now tell me how in burning HeLL!?!? people gon payback any money when dem ain even gettin wuk? And even dem one who gat wuk, still strugglin cause de salary too lil bit fuh dey even start thinkin bout payin back UG. Is sad but is true. Dis country is makin it most difficult fuh people who truly want to serve it----and is even sadder dat is de foreigners who seein de true value in dem, rather dan we who nurture them to that level of value. Das why nuffa ya’ll UG people dun plannin dat when ya’ll get ya’ll diploma and degree an ting, is de first Delta or Caribbean flight outa Guyana ya’ll deh pun. eh? wrong or right?
Nuffa dem so called “patriots,” (a lot of dem I believe were/are actually genuine about their claim), but de system simply KILLED their desire to remain here. De res a dem….well, dey jus faren minded----typical example, our beloved boxer champs who only a few short weeks ago, “absconded” according to reports….on an IN TraNsiT trip through, (not to) the U.S. (talk about desperation)---dem man even lef dey passport behind. LoL! But dey no different from dem who duz go pun dey visitors visa and overstay dey welcome in de people country. People so badly want to get away from dis place dat even backtrack is a more than welcoming prospect.
And you may laugh or criticise or even object, but yuh damn well an know is nah no friggin buLLcrap I talkin!
UG now is jus a grooming ground fuh de outside world, literally----dey feedin we birds in hopes dat we don’t leave de nest, but unfortunately, most of us (quite ungratefully) turn back…spit on dem and keep on soaring (on Delta & Caribbean of course). Is no wonder dat dem developed countries overpopulated and Guyana is de opposite----is we goin an crowd de people country, so much dat the international Guyanese population is greater dan the local population. Yuh doubt me? Check an yuh gon see…
Oh Beautiful Guyana----what the hell happened? Our forefathers must be tossin and turnin in dey graves….
Sigh…
Is nah me---is meh mouth
