(Original Yard Perspective by Juboy – 2025)
1. Election Fever Tek We Again
Mi affi ask unu dis: How come every four–five year, is like Jamaica tun upside dung? Poster pon every light post, motorcade a block road, clash a gwan pon mic – an di whole country split like orange?
Now di General Election 2025 a knock pon door, an di tension real. Nomination Day alone did look like dancehall clash – JLP🔔 wid dem green army, PNP🧡 roll out wid crowd like carnival. An ina di middle, poor people a bawl seh, “Lawd Gad, nutten nuh change but di colour a di T-shirt.”
Dis article yah, mi ago show unu: why di election chaos happen, weh cause it, wah nuh work, an how people can move wid sense through di hype.
2. Why Everybody So Fed Up?
-
High Cost a Living: People cyaan manage supermarket bill, an dem vex fi see politician motorcade wid full tank gas.
-
Empty Promise: Every campaign sound sweet – road fi fix, job fi come, crime fi cut – but after vote, is pure “soon come.”
-
Divide an Rule: Yardman cyaan reason bout football or cricket widout politics mash up di vibes.
So di chaos real – is not just politics, is survival pressure pon di ground.
3. Wah People Get Wrong Every Election
-
Myth 1: If JLP lose, Jamaica mash up. If PNP lose, same talk. Truth is, Jamaica bigger dan party colour.
-
Myth 2: Handout = Solution. Dem $5,000 or likkle curry goat plate nuh fix long-term poverty.
-
Myth 3: Media always neutral. (Cliff Hughes right now catch fire cause people seh him bias, but him cyaan please everybody).
4. How Fi Navigate Election Madness
Step 1: Separate Hype from Reality
Don’t mek vuvuzela an T-shirt fool yuh. Read manifesto (if dem even release it).
Step 2: Follow Di Money
Ask: who a fund dis campaign? Big business backer nuh give money free – dem want policy back.
Step 3: Protect Yuh Vote
Vote fi policy weh touch yuh yard, not just di loudest sound system.
Step 4: Keep Community United
Politics divide, but di zinc fence still cyaan patch itself. Link wid neighbour, nuh war wid dem cause dem wear different colour.
5. Expert Insight Yard Style
Bounty Killa did seh long time: “Poor People Fed Up.” Dat still di heartbeat a di nation.
Pastor dem seh “Pray fi di leaders.” But Juboy seh: Pray yes, but also hold dem accountable – caw prayer nuh patch pothole widout action.
6. From Election Yard
Mi reason wid one market lady downtown. She seh last election dem promise fix drainage cause stall always flood. Four year later? Water still a run dung like river when rain fall.
She seh: “Nomination Day sweet like dance, but after di confetti sweep up, mi stall still soak.”
7. Mistakes to Avoid
-
Nuh sell yuh vote fi chicken back an white rum.
-
Nuh war wid family an fren cause party colour different.
-
Nuh believe seh change happen overnight after election.
8. Alternatives / FAQ
-
“Mi nah vote, cause nuttin nah change.”
→ Dat itself help di same people weh yuh vex wid. If yuh silence, dem stay strong. -
“Who mi fi trust? JLP or PNP?”
→ Trust policy, not colour.
9. Quick Action Plan
-
Identify 2–3 issue weh matter most (job, cost a living, crime).
-
Compare weh each party seh pon dem issue.
-
Mek decision pon dat, not vibes.
10. Word From Juboy
Election ina Jamaica always loud, always chaotic – but at di end a di day, di real power ina di people hand. JLP🔔, PNP🧡 – dem love fi clash, but yuh pocket cyaan tek style.
So yes, people seh “ANDREW MUST GO DUNG” – others seh “Mark cyaan ready” – but mi tell unu plain: Jamaica future nuh decide pon motorcade, it decide pon community weh stand up fi self.
