BYE, BYE 2017... HELLO 2018

Last year this time, many persons were busy making res- olutions for the New Year, 2017. With the sun about to set on the year, one of the bloodiest in the country’s histo- ry, THE WEEKEND STAR ventured into downtown Kingston Tanya: Two thousand and seventeen good because me have life, but apart from that, everything bad. Me glad it done. If it was a person, bwoi it would be a dutty man. to ask people how they felt about the old year and the extent to which they were looking forward to 2018. Ornett Davis: It was a very challenging year, but I have to give God thanks. It almost gone, and I’m looking forward to the future. Damion Dwyer: It was a cool year. Me glad inna a way seh it done. I’m looking forward to a better change. Hope everything runs smooth for the New Year. Samantha Salmon: We nah no love. Wi fight too much. For 2018, I hope, we, as a people, start love and stop carry hate and hate in our heart. We need to forgive and we need to respect each other. The country need to cut down pan crime, and if we do all these things, it maybe can work. Tamisha Frankson: Yes, I want the crime and violence to stop like everyone else, but as a people on a whole, we need to unite. We need to stop the backbiting and the badmind. We need to help one another when they are in trouble, and we need to start raising each other’s children so they become better. Sandy Adams: Me woulda like PNP fi come back inna power in 2018. This yah government sloppy. It is the worst Christmas, and a years me deh dung yah a work. PNP is always better. They get the job done.
