1. Mi Tell Unnu Seh Politics Nuh Sleep
Mi deh pon di lane Sunday evening when mi phone buss off—bare WhatsApp voice note:
“Juboy, yuh hear seh Andrew move so an so behind wi back?”
A so mi start dig, an mi find out seh di street feel betrayed. Same time, news a circulate seh Mayor Swaby nah tek no foolishness from Andrew.
Mi haffi talk it plain—Jamaica nuh easy fool again.
2. Trust a Currency Now
Inna politics, trust worth more than vote. If yuh seh yuh a lead wi, wi expect fi know di moves before di ink dry pon di paper.
When action happen behind wi back, di people feel trick, an trick lead to backlash.
Mayor Swaby reaction just prove seh even big man inna di system nuh willing fi tek certain style.
3. Wah People Get Wrong
-
Myth #1: If yuh keep di plan secret, yuh can drop it clean later.
→ Truth: Inna Jamaica, news travel faster than di JUTC pon downhill. -
Myth #2: Only di opposition will call yuh out.
→ Truth: Sometimes yuh own crew will draw di sword. -
Myth #3: “Behind closed door” decisions cyaan mash up street cred.
→ Truth: Credibility crumble quick once people feel lef out.
4. How Fi Avoid Dis Kinda Political Crossfire
-
Transparency First – Drop di news before rumour tek it.
-
Consult Wid Di Right People – Yuh nuh haffi agree, but show respect.
-
Read Di Street Temperature – If people vex already, move careful.
5. Political Respect Is Like Street Cred
Di same way a deejay cyaan run dancehall if di selector nuh rate him, a so politics go—yuh haffi keep di people weh control di “mic” pon yuh side.
Mayor Swaby send a clear message—him nuh just deh fi clap when PM talk, him willing fi seh “nah man, mi nah sign off pon dat.”
6. From Boardroom to Backlash
Before: Andrew make one move weh him team claim was strategic.
After: Rumour buss, Mayor Swaby push back, public start question di motive.
Lesson: Secret politics inna di era of social media is like trying fi hide curry goat smell—everybody ago know.
7. Mistakes Politicians Mek
-
Moving inna shadow thinking nobody ago notice.
-
Ignoring key allies like dem replaceable.
-
Forgetting seh people judge yuh by di process, not just di results.
8. Who Dis Advice Fit
✅ Leaders weh want fi keep dem base strong.
❌ Leaders weh tink PR alone can cool down real frustration.
9. 3-Step Check Before Any Big Political Move
-
Call in di main players.
-
Tell di public yuh intentions—clear an simple.
-
Drop di receipts fi show yuh nuh hide nothing.
10. Jamaica Eyes Wide Open
Dis nuh di time fi “trust mi” politics. Every move get dissect like Sunday snapper.
If yuh deal wid people straight, yuh get di respect—even from yuh enemies.
11. Talk Up
Street, mi want hear from unnu—Mayor Swaby right fi stand up, or Andrew did have good reason fi keep it quiet?
Drop yuh reasoning.
