So let's talk about the future of education. Right now, many of the colleges and universities have decided to shut down for the rest of the year and to do online education, but at the exact same price of the tuition, which is obscene if you ask me. But I wanna talk about the importance of this. Because why this is important is the very notion that the only thing that a diploma gives you in its current manifestation is vanity metrics. It's keeping up with the Joneses. Your diploma at the end of the day doesn't guarantee you anything.  In fact, when you look at the value that school brings, and I'm just saying for everything, listen, you wanna be a doctor, you gotta do that path. You wanna be a lawyer, you gotta do that path. That's like 1% of the population. 99% of the population, they get some liberal arts degree, Bachelor of Arts, whatever. They have zero skills. And when anybody's skills, I'm talking about real applicable economic skills. Sales, communication, understanding finances, understanding just the very basic natures of how to correspond in our fast, rapid ecosystem of the world. And it's becoming exponentially fast because of COVID, things have changed and flipped upside down. And hopefully if there's parents watching this to think that it's smart advice these days to send your kids to college to be in debt, 100K for a Bachelor of Arts because why again? What's the purpose of this? How is this an investment? It's not, it's a disability in fact. That $100,000 that you're gonna go into debt might as well start a business. Invest in real estate, invest in yourself, right? Actually read books, go to workshops. The people who succeed the most in life and this has been historic throughout the beginning of mankind is people who can adapt the quickest. People who don't follow the straight path. People who take the path unknown. There's a saying that Joseph Campbell talks about. He who thinks he knows doesn't know. He who knows that he doesn't know knows. And so the best way that you can protect the future or create the future that you want is by having the ability to be adaptable and having the ability to make your own path. Where we're heading right now, we're heading into much more streamlined digital world. We're heading into more localism. We're heading into an exponential world where we're gonna have crypto and AI and different micro types of environments around the world where they don't teach you in university and college about this. In fact, ask yourself this question. When you look at standard college university, what do you really learn?  Probably 98% of that stuff you can learn on your own for free, absolutely for free, or if not free, one-tenth of the cost. I think what COVID has done as well is introduce homeschooling. Like when I have kids and 100%, it will be in some form homeschooled or hybrid of homeschooling. The whole notion of government schools that we see today is an epic failure. They're indoctrination stations where everybody needs to think the same. Everybody needs to behave the same because everybody needs to be a cog within the machine. So ask yourself this question, are you a cog? I hope that you say no. Nobody wants to be a cog in the machine. There's no easy answer. You're not gonna find any grooves to tell you any secrets. You're not gonna find any books to tell you, oh, this is what you have to do.  What, you gotta read 20 books? Well, like find a product, service, and make one dollar off it.  That's awesome.  What's stopping you from reaching out to that company doing something different than nobody else is doing? Everybody follows the same path. Send my resume.  What do I know about you within a resume? You need to stand out and do something different. This is a very special military strategy where you have to do different things that other people do not expect, right? Human beings are pattern-oriented creatures, right? We look at patterns, so everybody follows the same pattern. Like, if you wanna get a job, you're gonna send the resume, yada, yada, yada, and you get lost in the sea of all these different resumes, as opposed to how do I make myself stand out? How do I make myself different? This applies to anything, starting a business, getting a job, finding a mate, working on your body, right? Everybody might follow the same thing. I need to go to the gym and spend five days a week. Maybe there's better ways. Maybe you can do, hey, training seven minutes a day, 10 minutes a day, only three days a week, and get better sleep, you get the same results. You know, Warren Buffett had a good thing. He's like, what's the best advice you can get for people to save money? Don't have credit cards. Everybody has credit cards. Everyone's over-leveraged. Everyone's in debt. Everybody's in debt. The average North American has only $400 in savings. Well, that's gone right now.  Absolutely useless for savings, that is.  But, where we're going, guys, we are going into unknown territory, which is a normal process of human civilization. This is the normal process, and it's up to you to be agile.  Like, take the risk, this is the problem. If I had to delineate and into pinpoint exactly the issue with many things in life is risk tolerance. Many people are afraid to take risk because of a couple of different cognitive biases. What will people think of me? If I fail, I'm a failure. Oh, if I don't succeed, other people will put me down, blah, blah, blah, blah. These are all stories and narratives. Mind you, they come from evolutionary traits when we're in the tribe. I understand why these cognitive biases exist, but the reality is that one simple thing is people don't want to take risk because could have, would have, should have, it's too dangerous for me.  The learning experience alone is worth its weight in gold. I just want to repeat that again.  Then I'll leave it at that. Peace out.


An accident victim with permanent deformity, Lili and Timothy, has cried out for justice against one reckless driver whose son is said to be married to a cousin of their Damora State Governor Amado Finteri. Timothy told journalist in Gila, the State Capitol, that the reckless driver, while overtaking the vehicle, rammed into the Komashu Tricycle, she had boarded with another female passenger who died shortly at the hospital. According to her, the driver never showed any concern about her condition, since his alleged recklessness led to her deformity, let alone pay her medical bills, which reportedly amounted to about seven million naira. She therefore called on the governor of Finteri, the Federation of Women Lawyers Fida, and all the relevant authorities to wade into the matter. However, court documents available to journalists indicate that the case was withdrawn from the trial magistrate, because the driver had petitioned the Chief Justice of the State alleged bias in the trial. In fact, I thought it was a joke because to me, I said, no, this man is just trying to spoil the good name of his Excellency, so I know that nothing like that will happen. After all, it is not related to him. I just came back home, so I continue my treatment, have been going to Kanu and the, from Kanu, just have been going around for my treatment. I was concentrated on my treatment actually waiting, thinking that at the end of the day, maybe they will realize they have missed it, only be concentrating on myself to heal my, just for me to get healed. All these things I've been doing on my own. I didn't care about anything. But when I realized that there are some people, influential people that are trying to involve on this case, I had to do something. I had to cry to the public, for the public to judge it. This is something that I don't know how to, in fact, I am losing faith on it. So the public should judge this matter.


We'd have a great opportunity to play a lot of golf and get a quality education. The NCAA allows me to do 20 dates of competition and we do 20 dates of competition. Everyone gets a chance to play and then everyone gets a chance to go to the nationals if we win our conference. We've been pretty lucky. The men have been to the nationals four years in a row and the women have been there three out of the last five years. We do not practice, has a team except one day a week if we can do it. We play a lot of golf and that's there. They're out on weekends and one time during the week. I try to do all our tournaments on weekends so they don't miss school. Academics are very important to me because you're going to have a lot of fun playing golf but you got to have a career when you graduate to fall back on and you can play golf all your life but you got to have a career. So grades I check on. I don't do study hall but if you need help give me a call and I'll step in and we'll get it done. With golf I expect you to come up to the course as much as you can as long as it doesn't hurt your grades but you must call the course and find the time when it's available.  I've been at Stevenson for 25 years. The thing that I think is the best is there's five things. One is location. We are in the metro area.  You're 45 minutes to an hour from Washington DC, Georgetown. You're a half hour from Baltimore City and two hours from Philly so there's a lot to do as a young adult. But being in the metro area gives you the job market. You have a chance to have a great career here finding a job. The other thing I like is our class sizes.  You got to be there. The class size and then I think number four would be everyone cares whether you succeed. It doesn't matter if it's a facility guy, another teacher, another coach, they all care about you. And then the fifth one, our cost. I think our cost is very good when you compare us to the schools around me.


Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I had to say to my friend on my right that this one thing is guaranteed that I'm a creature of habit. So here I am after lunch on the second day speaking in my custom slot despite the variations in variations in delivery today. So Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to offer a few comments on the estimates before us. Mr. Speaker, from then to time I do listen to the statements made in the public. I do have review and read postings on Facebook and I do go places where you had debate of one kind or another. I'm a speaker in the past couple weeks in the run-up to this budget. I've had the opportunity to hear statements emanating from the opposition and perhaps what has resonated the most, Mr. Speaker, is the personal assaults on the Minister of Finance, the member for Kastres East and the Prime Minister. And you had a constant refrain that the government has no plan, the government has no vision. The Minister of Finance does not know what to do and in a Chilean style they have even argued that the Minister of Finance and the member for Kastres East does not even know what he has done, meaning that he did things but did not know the very consequence of the very act of what he had done. And on arrival to this afternoon a few months ago I understood that the leader of the opposition described the budget as a patch-patch budget described the government as a patch-patch government. Now Mr. Speaker, budgets have always attracted descriptions over the years, always attract descriptions. Some of these descriptions are famous and among us in this house some would remember the famous pronouncement of George Ordlam describing a Louisie budget as a bikini budget. In other words, what the budget hid, I'm using my own language now, was fascinating and what it hid was far removed from what it disclosed. Then too of course, again George Ordlam describing one budget as a belaylesh budget and that of course was made very famous by one of our Calypsoanians using that term, my good friend and St. Lucia's most outstanding Calypsoanian which I'm prepared to defend anytime, anywhere, the invader and he has used that to great effect in music. And then I remember in my own time describing a budget of the former administration when the leader of the opposition and minister of finance, I described his budget as a budget guafal and of course I was just telling my good friend that that language came from an ordinary citizen describing the budget as a budget that had a huge stomach that all it did was to fill up that stomach and with every living thing, the consumer living thing in its way, had a huge appetite but of course very little to come out of it. So when the leader of the opposition says that you're dealing with a patch-patch budget, I mean I guess he wants to go down in the annals of history as having crafted a term that resonates in time. But you know, the problem is that when you use terms, the terms must somehow resonate with the historical moment. It must capture the historical moment. If people are to latch on to these terms with the speaker, then somehow the term must not only remain in their minds but describe accurately and accurately the circumstances of the time. But Mr. Speaker, the problem with that description is that it just does not explain the budget that is before this house. That's the problem. The leader of the opposition, Mr. Speaker, has a huge difficulty on his hands and I have to commend a member for Sozel who understood the difficulty and in his own presentation he avoided as best as he could any attempt to criticize the logic objective, the purpose of the budget. He stayed away but meandered through some inconsequential items in this constituency. That's the root, I know this respect man, but that is the root that he took. He avoided it, he avoided confrontation, he avoided replies, he avoided creating any kind of mischief, any kind of speculation. Now to put it another way, that was his way of denouncing the speech that we heard earlier this afternoon. Well, I am now a deputy speaker that I apply the rules. I follow the rules. The rules say that you must use appropriate language to describe members of the House and I will never ever resort to unparliamentary language at this stage. This is an important period of my career. So I will use language that is appropriate to facilitate the circumstances. So Mr. Speaker, let's look at the statistics. Mr. Speaker, you have a forecasted growth rate of 6.96 percent. Now interestingly Mr. Speaker, the International Monetary Fund has forecasted a growth rate of 3.2 percent for 2023. And Mr. Speaker, interestingly too, that the government of St. Lucia has forecasted a growth rate of 7.3 percent for 2024, it's forecasted. The IMF in turn forecasted a growth rate at 2.3 percent a decline. Now the fact of the matter Mr. Speaker is this. We shall see who's right and who's wrong, but already you have an indication that what the IMF said was not correct and I shall come back to that in a minute. But I want to be faithful Mr. Speaker and I'm going to read out to you the press release, a paragraph of the press release issued by the IMF Executive Board which incidentally was made available to the Honorable House by the Leader of the Opposition. So I'm reading from his document as a speaker. This is what IMF says. The GDP growth projection in 2023 at 3.2 percent is lower than 2022 as tourism demand continues the recovery and the economy approaches the existing production capacity. Afterwards it is projected to gradually decline towards a potential rate of 1.5 percent in the medium term. Annual inflation is projected to remain high in 2023 at 4.3 percent and then declined to around 2 percent in the medium term. The current account deficit is expected at 0.8 percent of GDP in 2023 and by all accounts this is phenomenal because as I've said before in this House normally economists expect that the correct percentage of the current account deficit should be really about just 1.5 percent. So the current account deficit is expected at 0.8 percent of GDP in 2023 and it's projected to close over the medium term driven by the continuing recovery and tourism unquote. That's the IMF in 2024, March 7th, 2024. Now, Mr. Speaker, I have read it but to make a point that there are people in this House in this country who believe that the judgments of the IMF are sacred, that the IMF can never be wrong and there are people, I'm betting you Mr. Speaker, there are people right now who will not accept the government estimates of the growth rate but will accept the IMF estimates of the growth rate. That's what's going to happen, Mr. Speaker. But this is a good lesson for all of us around this table and for the citizens at large that we must never ever believe that the IMF is infallible, incapable of errors or that on the other side the IMF always gets it right. That's not so. That is not so at all and so while we await the final judgment what we do know is that the forecasted growth of the IMF is far below what the government has forecasted and the government will forecast with a certain degree of certainty and could never make a mistake with a gap between the tours wide as it is without being sure of what it was going. And when I look back, Mr. Speaker, the crowning growth rate, I think after independence, was a 7.5 percent achieved by a labor administration in 2006 when we were booted out of office. That was a crowning growth rate and I suspect if of course we were to benefit then as a former government benefited by the recasting of figures of growth rate etc. then it would have been higher. But my point is, my point is, oh it's climb to 10 points, something my point is that this government actually is approaching that growth rate and if it succeeds in eclipsing that growth rate then of course the present benefit has to go to the government and to the minister of finance. So, Mr. Speaker, they're almost caught up with that growth rate. But let me return to the statistical summary and they need repetition. The current surplus is 156.9 million. The recurrent surplus of 66 million and Mr. Speaker, let's you be worried, I'm reading from the budget summary, Mr. Speaker, and you can consult your budget summary while I speak. The primary surplus is 104 million. There's a primary balance expressed as a percentage of GDP at 1.5 percent and an overall balance as a percentage of GDP of minus 1.6 percent. Now, may I make a suggestion to the ministry of finance as we go through those figures because you see, when we come to parliament and side those figures, unless we spend time to explain those figures, the population don't understand what those figures mean and perhaps in the notes that they present they can always take the opportunity to explain to people what these figures mean and what it means for the government's management of the fiscal policies of the government. The question is, and this is the point, how does the opposition handle this? How does the opposition react to this? Well, the easiest way is to present it though exists. So in a budget reply, you don't make no reference to it and it's a tactic that has great value. What you do in effect is not to mention those statistics again, argue those statistics, so it sticks in people's mind and then you go in a different direction and mention all other things that are irrelevant. The member for library is looking at me as if I'm preaching something that is wayward and but that's a well-known technique of lawyers, among others, that X says why you ignore what X says and go and talk about something else and totally mislead and confound. So that's the position, you can ignore it but then you cannot argue and say that the economy is on autopilot, perhaps even suggesting that it is guided by an unseen hand, an unknown and unseen hand. Surely you cannot again present an argument in 2024 that economy experience its last boost of growth as it recovers to return to the pre-pandemic levels. That growth rate was exhausted since last year and the year before. We have gone past that. We have gone past that. But even if you want to argue on its merits that that is a case, then how on earth are you going to explain a growth rate of 7.3% in 2024? My goodness, if you have to argue that in 2024 that 7.3% growth rate do exist or that you have to attribute it to growth rate following the pandemic, then in effect what you will have to concede and admit that never ever before in the history of St. Lucia has an economy enjoys such growth in such a short space of time because now you are talking about growth rate in the 20s and possibly reaching the 30s. That's a pretty commendable leader of the opposition. How do you deal with those realities? Nostalgia creeps in sometimes as we got sometimes because when these presentations are made in the house and I regret I didn't have the opportunity to listen to the leader of the opposition. I really wanted to. I miss him too often. I would have liked to have listened to him this morning so that we can contest the issues on the merits. But let us wait for the policy debate. It will be an opportunity at the policy debate to contest these ideas. But you know, Mr. Speaker, even if I were to concede some measure of credit to the leader of the opposition, I have to take it all back. I'm compelled to take everything back. After all, Mr. Speaker, this opposition is known to be preposterous to engage and employ absurdities in his arguments. And I don't know whether it is a situation that the government is hoping that it could be rescued by its theological outlook, that the truth is what you believe it to be. And maybe that is what is at play, the philosophy, the outlook, that the truth is not really the reality, but what you want to believe it to be. And that, of course, as we have learned over the years and over the months, Mr. Speaker, there are those who will accept that kind of logic and drink that kind of logic to their heart's content and delight. The truth is what you believe it to be. And what a predicament for a leader of opposition to have to answer to those groceries. And so, Mr. Speaker, there is another element that I want to touch on before I come to the substance of some of the issues. Again, nostalgia, Mr. Speaker, a little bit of nostalgia. And I don't remember that I know we'll concede the occasional nostalgia in these matters. But I warn you all, those of you who think at my age that put them on as they don't make a mistake, because they are prime ministers in this region, well older than I am, have no desire to be prime minister in my life. Again, I am enjoying my life as it is.  But this business of believing that these are idiosyncrasies of age. Don't make that mistake. Never make that mistake. So a little nostalgia is good for the soul and from time to time useful to engage. I remember, Mr. Speaker, when St. Lucia achieved his first billion dollar budget, and I drew the attention of the then parliament and the people of St. Lucia to the fact that we had crossed a threshold of one billion dollars, I was ridiculed, accused of arrogance, of citing a statistic of no relevance to the daily lives of the people of this country. Day in, day out, and the member of a country's east remember what I had to endure. I believe there are two things you remember, but there are many others to remember. This declaration of a billion dollar budget, and mind you, there are people in this society who should have known better who engage in that kind of behavior. I watch this society with utter fascination. And you know one of the biggest problems that we have in this society is when we see wrongdoing being committed, we applaud those who do it and we refuse to correct those who do it and we are reaping it today. Wrongdoing is everywhere, but we applaud it and we justify it and find excuses for it. That's what our life has become. What are you on the opposition benches or what are you in government? That's the reality. It has become a national culture. We applaud those who say the wrong things, write the wrong things, do the wrong things, and we don't have the guts to marry you to stand up to them and say this is wrong. We pay a price.  Today, Mr. Speaker, I am witness to the fact that our budget stands at an estimated 1,894,110 $800. This is astounding. This is astounding. And how times have changed, Mr. Speaker? How times have changed? We speak the language of billions of dollars. Mr. Speaker, I accept that the value of money has been eroded substantially. Money has lost a lot of value because of inflation. But I say that even if that is so, it remains a real significant achievement that we have a budget of $1.8 billion. We have come a long way. And I believe, Mr. Speaker, I'm not making any pronouncements. I believe it is my own belief that if this government perseveres, then in two years' time, we will see a budget of $2 billion. That, in my books, Mr. Speaker, will be an achievement if the respective balances remain as healthy as we have indicated in the budget summary. We have come of age. That is it. Now, Mr. Speaker, I do not intend to make a day of a litany of I remember. If I had to, then today I would be on my feet for the entire day. So I ask you to forgive this little nostalgia. But I go back one step. I recall that two years ago, when the Minister of Finance delivered his budgetary statement, in my budget response, I said to the government that the secret to the recovery of the economy in the short term was a significant investment in infrastructure. I don't know whether honorable members recall this. I said that was the key. Recovery, however, cannot and should not be left solely to tourism. Tourism don't have that ability to do so while it may provide you with the kind of statistics and while it can, of course, provide you with the foreign exchange that you need. I am therefore glad that this government has taken steps to declare this year as a year of infrastructure. But Mr. Speaker, decisions like that must have meaning and must have value. The declaration of the year of infrastructure should not mean that this is a year of the declaration of an opportunity for the big contractors. It must not be for the big contractors. It must be for the ordinary citizens, the army of masons and liberals and small contractors in our midst so that whatever allocations have been made and have been spent, that must be translated to touch the pockets of the small people in this country. That is vital so that they can buy in politically but more importantly, Mr. Speaker, the impact it is going to have on the downward trend of unemployment in the country. And look, Mr. Speaker, just travel around the country. I can tell you even that East Coast Highway from Kastri is down to view Fort. We need to build endless drains along the highway. Endless drains along the highway. Put people to work. Let them build and construct these drains to improve that highway that we've been talking about. Put people to work. Put the masons to work. Put them. Make them quiet. Let them end the talking and the speculation. And so, Mr. Speaker, I just hope that the Ministry of Infrastructure will understand that the declaration of the year of infrastructure is not for the big contractors only but it has to be also for the ordinary citizens of this country. And I will say more of this, Mr. Speaker, when I engage in the policy debate. And in that policy debate, I will want to address the issue of the capacity of the Ministry of Infrastructure to deliver projects. The Ministry's ability to respond to community emergencies. And I also want to look at, in that policy debate, at alternative models of delivery of projects in this country. In other words, what alternative models we can create to allow infrastructure projects to be delivered in the country free of the bureaucracy that is so readily apparent in the operations of the Ministry of Agriculture of Infrastructure. Sorry, Mr. Speaker. Now, Mr. Speaker, the Attorney General visited me just before the delivery of this statement this afternoon. And he's a man who, Mr. Speaker, is very careful with language and he avoids certain words. But he said enough to say to me that he knows that I'm garrulous. I speak a lot. I say a lot of things. That's what he was trying to tell me this afternoon. So he wanted to be sure that I'm not going to go through all of my moments of being exceedingly talkative and garrulous and say things I should not say. And I want to say to him, as I've said before, I have, and I'm saying this with all good intention, that I have often reflected, Mr. Speaker, about those parliamentarians who were backbenchers in my time. And sometimes I've wondered whether in my time I paid enough attention to them, to their constituencies. And when I look back, truth be told, both political parties have really not had much historical experience in dealing with backbenchers in our parliament. So this is a learning experience on all sides. And I believe the lessons have to be learned among the backbenchers and also by the government in office. And you see, I'll tell you why, Mr. Speaker, we are likely and we need to revisit our boundaries, the delineation of boundaries. And sooner or later we will have to increase the size of our parliament. What this means translated is that you're going to have more backbenchers in your parliament. You will therefore have to develop a culture to deal with backbenchers. And I personally believe, Mr. Speaker, that it would be a good thing if in the course of any financial year, if each minister holds a town hall in the constituencies of backbenchers to hear from their constituents, their views on the development of their constituencies, and how best the ministry can assist whatever they wish to be done in their constituencies. Now, I don't know if I have disappointed you to any general by taking that approach. Understand that, so I understand, so I understand, so I understand. So I don't know where do you want to start learning the initial lessons, I don't know. This gives me just the jumping up point to make an observation that I want to expand on. Mr. Speaker, I know the considerable resources being made with the ministry of tourism. And I'm referring to head 47 of the estimates because it discloses that some 3.345 million is allocated to community tourism. This is a respectful allocation, not bad. I believe that the ministry can do it three times that, really. But this is respectful for a start. But what I wanted to tell the minister of tourism is that, euphorians want a piece of that pipe. That's really where I want to go. In that regard, I want to issue an invitation to the minister of tourism to tell us how much of that allocation will go to Euphor itself. Mr. Speaker, that's my point. You all can cite where you all want to cite, but I know where I want to cite. In advance of that visit, I asked the minister to consider financing a consultancy to do a feasibility study on the establishment of a boardwalk alongside the beachfront of the town of Euphor, stretching from the fisheries complex in Euphor to the fish market, to the existing fish market. And I'll have more to say in a few moments because this becomes important when the fish market is repurposed and revitalized. But I'll have a few more minutes. I'll have to say more on this in a few minutes. The idea of a boardwalk to elevate the frontage of Euphor is dear to the residents of Euphor, the south, and will provide new economic and integrated economic opportunity for the people of Euphor south. And there are so many examples of boardwalks throughout the region. All we ask at this stage is, well, that's not to my taste on my liking. But I can introduce you to other boardwalks elsewhere, but at least a consultancy so that we make a start in this regard. I'm also aware, Mr. Speaker, that the least held by the Williams family of the property once described as a lot of support has expired. It would be good if the minister shares his views on how this property is to be developed. And of course, here from my constituents, the idea is about the future potential of this property. I believe that this is a site that is currently going to waste. It is not being utilized. And of course, the good thing is that the property has now reverted to the crown. And while Euphor south is in the focus of the minister, the question of what is to be done with Mullah Sheikh and his lighthouse deserves attention. Unfortunately, the national trust who holds the property or joining the lighthouse in trust has not been able to come up with any realistic ideas as to how the property can be integrated in the development of Euphor south. And you know, we waste our history, I think. We rarely do waste our history in this regard. We always seem to be interested in sugar mills, old sugar mills. But mind you, I have a sugar mill at Larissus. I have two sugar mills, by the way. I have one at Larissus and another one down lower down there. And they're respectable sugar mills, you know. But my point is that that area of the lighthouse, Mr. Speaker, was once a tracking station for American missiles when American missiles were being tested. But that history has gone the way. The very building that was used is still there. And I will not tell you, Mr. Speaker, what the building is being used for. But I know you're a man of considerable imagination. And I leave it to your imagination to put the pieces together, Mr. Speaker. If you want to be reminded, then do pay a visit at your leisure, Mr. Speaker. So these are the issues. And one of the problems that we have, and I'm saying this so that the National Trust can hear me loud and clear, is that when the government of St. Lucia places its patrimony of the people of St. Lucia in the care and protection of the National Trust, the National Trust has to understand, it does not mean care and protection into perpetuity, that no investment must be introduced abroad to these areas to make use of those sites or whatever historical remains on those sites. And the National Trust has to get its act together because you cannot hold a constituency in Purgatory for so long. It can never be justified. So I want that to resonate with the National Trust. Mr. Speaker, allow me to return to the Ministry of Infrastructure, Transport and Port Services. And I did say to my good friend the Attorney General that I wouldn't be saying much in this address. And so it is I will concentrate on safe ground, my constituency. Mr. Speaker, last year when I spoke at the estimate debate, I lamented a lack of attention to the roads of the Air Force South. And colleagues will remember that I've done so for three years in a row. I lamented in particular the plight of the residents of Cedar Heights. I lamented the unpaved section of the Bruceville Main Road. I lamented the failure to complete the paving of the St. Jude Highway and the lyrical road from the bridge to the Heineken Bridge. I lamented. And I just want Mr. Speaker to highlight why those roads are important, quite apart from the fact that it is necessary for the citizens to benefit from good roads. But you know, the roads in that area have deteriorated so badly that ordinary motorists on their way to Sozel, or to Soufra, who have to go through Vufort, do not use those roads and rather they use the highway through Vufort. And that is causing some of the congestion that exists in Vufort at this time. So it is vital that the roads be repaired. And while the Ministry of Infrastructure is thinking about repairing roads, I must say I probably have the laziest roundabout in this country. Probably the worst roundabout in this country. Unique. Well then take it to the library and put it up on the top of on the top of the library here to and you tell me if it's unique on the hill up there. Take it to the library. You shout in no, no, no fast. I don't think of it as a good place for it. Come to think of it. And while this Ministry is talking about all these fancy roundabouts, I'm going to invite the Ministry of Infrastructure to look at a roundabout in Vufort at the top of New Dock Road. Vufortions don't deserve this. And I wish I could tell you the number of times I have dialogue with the Ministry of Infrastructure about replacing that roundabout. That's the roundabout that carries a flag of solution around independence.  This is your second town. And it is being treated that way. So, Mr Speaker, we have opportunities to make use of the talents in the Ministry of Infrastructure. While these roads are not itemized in the Capital Works program of the Ministry on the Head 43, there is reason for optimism this year. When the Minister reeled off the impressive number of roads constructed in other constituencies, I say, hey, that's it. I must be on the list. I heard him talk about the number of roads in Vufort North. I heard him talk about a number of roads in Grozile. Then I heard him even talk about Austin Hill in Denver North. I said, bound to be in that. I said, bound to be in that this year. Bound to be in that this year. And then I heard the announcement, Mr Speaker. I heard the announcement this year and listened to the words of the, not his direct words, but the invitation was clear, that Vufort South was sure changed when the St. Jude Highway was only constructed to the brewery and nothing else was done. And St. Jude Highway remained as is, my research remained as is. And therefore, attention will be given to these roads. I also heard him say that Cedar Heights will be given attention. And Mr Speaker, I'll tell you why I am optimistic. I am optimistic and I'm going to use again a phrase that we have used in the political lexical of our parliament. And those who are in this parliament, if followed it when you were younger and will remember this phrase. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. A phrase where a famous parliamentarian, I believe it was the then deputy prime minister, Sir George Mallett, he stood up and announced that as we speak construction is underway. You remember? Now tell me which project it was? Border layer. No, no, no. It wasn't border layer, but it was a prison, a new prison. As we speak, lo and behold, no prison was ever being constructed. But as we speak today, I am honored to use the phrase, as we speak, to say that as we speak construction is underway in Cedar Heights and that a road named Calabas Street is currently on the repairs. As we speak. As we speak. The minister of infrastructure has hope for redemption. There is hope for redemption because as we speak, this road is under construction. And I now await, Mr. Speaker, attention to the other roads to bring relief to the residents of Cedar Heights where we have had to suffer so much over the years. And Mr. Speaker, I told you at the last sit-in at repetition is a very good thing. Remember that, Mr. Speaker? Glad you remember that, Mr. Speaker. I told you, Mr. Speaker, that repetition is an important tool of all good teachers. It's also against? Not, no, we'll have a different interpretation of the standing orders with the speaker. And it is only so if there's repetition in one contribution, not in successive contributions over a period of time. So you see, you can see it very enough. That's an important step. My point, Mr. Speaker, is this, that we have to do something about completing the Bruce Will road, the top of the Bruce Will road from Bruce Will to the main road. The people of Bruce Will, despite all their woes, despite their troubles, their pains, they have stood by me and stood by this government year in year out. No community has been as heavily bribed as you thought, as Bruce Will to vote against me. And no community has accepted the bribes to the extent that they have and have repeatedly voted for me despite the bribes. And your representative, Mr. Speaker, always tell the people of Bruce Will, they come to you, they give you money, take it. Let me know how much they give you, but take it. That's the investment that has been put into that. Now, Mr. Speaker, I am not going to go into the issue of whether they were bribed on election day or not. I'm not going to go there. I'm talking about bribery in general. So, Mr. Speaker, they deserve the day and the sun. Now, yesterday, Mr. Speaker, I think Tuesday, Mr. Speaker, was interesting. The Minister of Finance made reference to plans to construct an entertainment center for the world south. You recall, Mr. Speaker, I feel surprised, I expressed some surprise. And I know my friend on my right wants to find out about this entertainment center and what is this entertainment center that is coming to view for it. You see, Mr. Speaker, the former administration in its tenure had in fact announced plans for an investment group from Trinidad and Tobago to construct a cinema complex and entertainment center for view for itself. That project, I mean, never materialized. So, when the Minister of Finance mentioned this entertainment center, I said, don't tell me that project is resurfacing. Because the plan was to use the area designated for an administrative center for this so-called complex. Mercifully, it didn't materialize. But I'm glad that better use was made of the lands in Juvo. And I now notice that a parcel of land made available to Brian the head has been cleaned. And I understand that more and other facilities will be constructed in that area, which is a far more purposeful use of the land. So, that is a welcome development. And I am happy that it is a view forcian who is making that kind of investment in that kind of... And let me say this to this Honourable House. When you look at Juvo and the history of Juvo, and I'm telling you this so you can understand Juvo because the psychology of Juvocians are not understood. Modern-day Juvo was not constructed by merchants and investors from castries or from the north, you know. Modern-day Juvo, what it is today, was done by viewforcians. They are the ones who have developed the infrastructure, put up the buildings and engage in business in Juvo, not the merchants in the north. That is the big difference, Mr. Speaker. So, an investment by the Daher family is certainly welcome. But you could well imagine, Mr. Speaker, since the announcement by the Minister of Finance on Tuesday, I have been bombarded with calls from constituents. All anxious for details, someone to know if there was the possibility for them to invest or if there were new economic opportunities that they too can participate in. So, I had to meander somewhat, Mr. Speaker. But then I subsequently realized after discussions with the Minister of Finance, what he had in mind and really what he was describing. And of course, this is a project that I welcome, I have championed and I am looking forward to because it has the potential to catalyze. What the Minister of Finance meant was a project to repurpose, revitalize and transform the existing geofoam market into a venue for cultural performances and fine dining experience. Let me explain what the concept is. And I have, Mr. Speaker, the attention of the member for himself. I'm sorry, because he was dying to know what this project is all about. Mr. Speaker, I see you looking at the clock. How many minutes I have, Mr. Speaker? 18? 18, Mr. Speaker? Okay, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, like many community market places throughout the world, Mr. Speaker, the whole market in the town of Eufort many years ago was emblematic of the vibrancy of the whole town of Eufort. And some of us can remember on Saturdays going to Eufort town and going by the old market. I mean, the level of business activity was extraordinary. One of the best markets in the world. Well, I mean, in the region, sorry. And Mr. Speaker, the tragedy was that once the town moved northwards and the area on New Dock Road and Natooni was developed, then commerce moved north. And that has been the challenge of the old Eufort town. Everything moved north. Banks moved north. Services moved north. Restaurants moved north. Businesses moved north. The result of this is that SNS? SNS didn't move south. That's another story where we talk about that. So, Mr. Speaker, that really was the reality. And there have been numerous efforts, Mr. Speaker, to try to revitalize that part of the town. It would be a monumental tragedy if the old market was left on its own just to decay and to waste away. And given what has happened, Mr. Speaker, the fact that business and economic activity have moved to Clark Street and to the New Dock area, we have had to find a solution to bring some life and energy to that part of the town. Mr. Speaker, what is proposed is that the old Eufort market is repurposed. It calls for a combination of restoration and the installation of new features to both rekindle the nostalgia of the venue, Mr. Speaker, in its original intent, while adding new commercial value in gentrifying both the venue and immediate environments. So, the intention is to allow it to become not just a market, but as a site for cultural performances and indeed a fine dining tourism venue. And I'm happy that technical assessments have been made. And in a sense, this is an interesting idea, an imaginative proposal to transform the market to bring it to life. And when I spoke to the minister of tourism to say to him to explore by consultancy the possibility of a boardwalk with you for the whole idea was to connect the fisheries complex by a boardwalk to a boardwalk that will be built just outside of the old market as part of that dining experience. Again, remember for libraries watching and listening intently. You see, I have great love, respect, and admiration for library. Really great love, admiration, of course. I mean, it was my base when I went to school at the secondary school. But, and I know the member for library has pussy-fed in Billigay market in library. I sometimes wonder what he tells his cabinet colleagues because every other word he uses is probably saying library market, library market, library market, library market. While the member for it then we notice Austin Hill, Austin Hill. He replies, library market, library market, library market. And, you know, he suffered under the tenure of the former government. Not even his friend Bradley was able to save him because the fellows cancel his market. I apologize because all members cancel his market. So now he's going back to the basics and he's building his market. But I said all of this to say that the view for proposal, albeit that it is a proposal to ex design an existing structure is far more imaginative than what is going to be constructed in library. The member knows nothing about the concept of a boardwalk and he can't. And I want to assure the government is in Lucia that the money that will be expended on that project and you thought will nowhere come close to the cost of the of the market in library. Nowhere, but that's the reality. Sometimes you have possibilities that far exceed the expectations of individuals. So, Mr. Speaker, this new facility will be able to facilitate multiple vendors by design. It will provide new restaurant dining and entertainment infrastructure. It will introduce new value added such as merchandising and social media connectivity all on the one thematic concept. It will be augmented with installed landscaping, stylized lighting and dining infrastructure for cafe, daytime and evening cuisine, along with repurposed entertainment areas and ancillary structures, including front of house and backstage all without altering the existing structure of the market. And as I said, there would be a boardwalk. Now, Mr. Speaker, as you can see, the overarching goal of this project is not only to reestablish the old view for market as a viable cultural and commercial space, but to use my words to reinvigorate, reinvigorate and identify that quarter of the town, hopefully to reorientate it to a back to town experience and that it can be seen as a potential tourism modifier. Now, Mr. Speaker, consider all what you are getting and I am advised. Remember, you have 10 minutes left. I am advised, Mr. Speaker, subject to your admonition that the total cost of this project is just 1.5 million dollars. Just 1.5 million dollars. Inexpensive, Mr. Speaker. It worries me, Mr. Speaker. 1.5 million dollars, 1.581 is the estimated cost. Now, let me enter a caveat. Mr. Speaker, this project is not an excuse for providing if you fought with an administrative complex. It is not an excuse. The administrative complex is designed, among other things, not only to provide government offices and space, but also to give you fortunes, the second town in this country, a theater that they have long been denied. So, it is a temporary facility to reinvigorate that part of the town of your fought, but it is not an excuse not to construct the administrative complex that the people of your fought have been asking for. I say no more, Mr. Speaker. I leave it there. Now, Mr. Speaker, I want to touch very briefly on two other sectors, because time is of essence. Mr. Speaker, connected to the view for the market, the fisheries complex, the plight of fish afoken before south, and I draw attention to head 41 at page 628. Mr. Speaker, an allocation of $850,000 has been made for quote, repairs to fishing facilities. I know that of this amount, some will be spent to undertake urgent repairs to a leaking storage container, which needs, I understand, to be properly housed. Additionally, a new perimeter fence will be installed and repairs will be undertaken to the boat landing strips on the slipway or ramps. Yeah, Mr. Speaker, this is welcome news. And, Mr. Speaker, I had to turn to my neighbor, my colleague to my left, the member for Denry North, for Denry South. And I had to whisper to him, am I going to get these facilities this year? He assured me that this year these projects will be done and make this declaration in this house. And I hope that the younger members of parliament understand what it means when a declaration is made in the parliament of Saint Lucia. I hope they understand. When he said yes to me, I turned around and whispered to him, comrade, similar announcements were made for the past two years. I believe we understand each other, so I say no more. And I believe that the minister of finance has heard me. I believe that other members have heard me. And I believe that the honorable member understands that there will be a judgment day when pronouncements will come. But the fissures of before south will be relieved. And I have to say, Mr. Speaker, that this is in addition to other initiatives which were announced yesterday by the member for Soufra in her capacity as the minister responsible for commerce. Mr. Speaker, I am also very pleased by the initiatives that are underway in respect of school infrastructure. I am yet to hear what will be done with the roof of the former junior secondary school next trimetrile. It's a matter that merits some discussion. But I welcome in particular the indication that there is a new block which will be constructed for the plain view school and that the repairs will be undertaken to the science block at the view for senior secondary. I welcome, welcome those initiatives. May I however say to the minister that as much as those initiatives are necessary and as much as they're welcome and plain view is one of our top performance schools that deserve it, I want to strongly urge that electrical consultants be engaged to undertake a consultancy about the electricity services at the view for senior secondary. I hate to say it, Mr. Speaker, but I fair a major accident. And I want to urge the minister to take the first step this year to find some money somewhere and let a major electrical firm carry out an assessment of the entire block because of- You have five minutes left, remember? Mr. Speaker, if I did not know you better, I would say to you that you are complicit. You want me to end prematurely. But I know better, Mr. Speaker, that your integrity will never allow you to say that, Mr. Speaker. And you too must defend the standing order. And in and out of the chair, I too must defend the standing order. But let me say, Mr. Speaker, let me say, Mr. Speaker, you know, no set of estimates, Mr. Speaker, can ever be perfect. None whatsoever. It is impossible. It is impossible. After all, why on earth would you describe it as estimates of revenue and expenditure? Why would you use that description, estimates of revenue and expenditure? In the mind of the ordinary citizen, this is gospel. This, this, everything here is gospel. But it's not gospel. It is an estimate. And to use the words of a very distinguished permanent secretary, estimates are no more than statements or expressions of intentions, unquote. Now, I bet you all don't know which permanent secretary said that. No, not at all. Who? No, no, no, no, no. It's not that imaginative. Guess again, which permanent secretary in the pantheon of permanent secretary in Indonesia would say that? The bill was too clinical for that. Why? No, right, lack of imagination. I apologize.  Those words were uttered by none other than Mr. George Theophilus. When he was pressed as permanent secretary as to why certain commitments were made by the then John Compton government were not honored. And then he made this pronouncement that, you know, estimates are no more than statements or expressions of intentions. John Compton was furious. So John Compton, I might add, was furious and lambasted George Theophilus for making what was clearly was an obvious statement. Now, I see your hand, Mr. Speaker, pondering, wondering if I am correct. I cannot show you, I am correct. But the Sir John Compton, you know, would understand why, you would understand why he would be most annoyed at such a statement because he then goes to the issue of credibility, of honoring what you say in parliament, but then we deal with reality. It might be, Mr. Speaker, why these estimates are not perfect? They are sound. Mr. Speaker, they are focused. And let me add, Mr. Speaker, they are realistic. They are reasonable and they are well structured. I applaud the minister of finance. If there is any criticism, and this is me speaking, it is that the estimates are unduly conservative in this approach. But I concede that we may well need this approach for the times that we are in. I concede that. And in my time, I have been known for some unusual approaches to constructing estimates. And there is not a weakness that an estimated book of estimates bearing only intentions can, of course, adopt conservative postures. Mr. Speaker, as I close, I know that our country will face some headwinds. The minister of finance will face some headwinds. Mr. Speaker, some of these headwinds, clearly we have to lead for the policy debate. I know, for example, the likely fate of the CIP program is a headwind. I know to the continued shock of petroleum prices is another headwind. The high cost of energy in St. Lucia is another major headwind. And still another, and the one we don't want to talk about, the challenge of revenue generation to meet the rising cost of providing services to our people and to finance their needs. These are major headwinds that we will have to address in the months ahead. I plan, as I said, Mr. Speaker, to reserve my comments on these matters for the policy debate. Suffice it to say, Mr. Speaker, in closing, I merely look forward to an interesting and fascinating policy debate. I thank you, Mr. Speaker.


Any last words? I'm done talking. Let's play The battle you've all been waiting to see The battle of the sexes Battle of the sexes my name is brandy Keith Avery. This is just my opinion Now battle of the sexes I was looking forward to this movie for quite some time I just got back because I am a kind of a big fan of the director Actually, I don't want to say a big fan, but he the two directors dual directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris. They both co-directed this movie and they did a phenomenal job I'll go ahead and tell you that now But another movie that they did back in 2006 that is a movie my mom introduced me to is little miss sunshine This star Steve Carell is well because Steve Carell is in this movie. It's just it's just like the perfect cute little movie It is I don't it is this about family and you know Them just trying to do what they can to please each other and then all the trials and tribulations that they have to go through But it's freaking hilarious and I don't want to say any more about it But if you just want to watch a cute little movie, I do recommend little miss sunshine that came out in 2006 Directed by these two Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton now about this movie This did take place back in 1973 It is the true story of Billy Jean King that went against Bobby Riggs in a tennis match And whatnot and if you know the story or not I don't want to spoil it for you here as far as how it ended because I didn't know How the story ended when I went in but I am very glad that I was a part of the story Like I already said this movie does star Steve Carell, you know him for the old version and also another ton of other movies and also Emma Stone. I love this woman. She is a phenomenal actress Of course, she did that movie easy a that came out like Seven years ago or something like that. I love that movie But Emma Watson's performance in this movie was phenomenal. She may get a war for this Come next year during Oscar season or whatever because well, I mean pretty much everybody did a great role But Emma Stone is just really a chameleon and can really just transform herself to perform any role that she wants to I mean I could just go ahead and just name a ton of movies But you probably already know just how good she is and she is what I loved about this movie the most on her performance And just how you know how convicted she was in a role And I really do love that Steve Carell also knocked the hell out of his role too like just knocked it out the park I mean, I love is based on a true story, but the character that he was playing I love the character, but I was also frustrated with the character and You know towards the end of this movie because it is based off a true story They were showing like pictures of the real-life people and Steve Carell looked like to do his clone like seriously I'm like whoa, like they picked the best actor for this role, but what it's about really is Billy Jean that plays by that's being played by Emma Stone and she is very frustrated of course because you know She's somewhat of a feminist.  We don't want less, you know, if we're capable, you know, we just want to be treated the same We just want equal rights, you know women are not just good for the bedroom or in the kitchen You know that that's basically all she's saying, you know for the most part and you know in this move in this movie in This film in this true story She's a battling with you know the man that control everything, you know, of course It was the same thing today, of course. That's the same thing in 1970s 1973 and she finds out that Men playing the same sport as her are getting paid much more now You may be sending yourself or they should be being paid much more because they're stronger. They're faster Etc. Things like that. Well, yeah, that may be true in some cases, but she brought up the point It was like wait a minute the women's competition sales the exact same amount of tickets as the men's and so Since things are a business and you know, like she kind of has a valid point and you know The the the males that are in the leading roles in this move and there's a lot of them They don't want to hear that, you know, they're coming up with all these excuses So basically she's like, you know, well, hey, if you don't want to treat us fairly screw you guys We can create our own league over here and just do it by ourselves So the movie is just basically about women empowerment now doing this whole thing Steve Carell jumps into the mix And he's like hey, let's have a battle of the sexes and you know Let's have a man versus woman's match and in that world to finally, you know, tell you know Who's better? You know blah blah blah blah That's just the judge. That's just the premise of the movie and they do have a mask towards the end of the movie But I won't tell you who won well What I do like about the movie so much is the character development that they use in this film because not I mean They don't just tell a story But the film really takes a long time in a good long time of Going into and showing you the background and the family of each individual character like I got to see Steve Carell's family I got to see Emma stones family I got to see who she was kicking it with at the beauty shop who was on who I got to see some of the backstory in the family You know with her other female colleagues and you know the sports commentators you got to kind of see the you know their Perspective as well and you know it like you know Steve Carell and Emma stone are the main characters But like if someone had a girlfriend or boyfriend on the side or husband or wife on the side We got to see them interact as well, too And you get to see all these perspectives coming all in at one like what people care about what they don't care about what Motivates them in today that mold them to make their decisions in front of the camera and on the court And that's you know what I really do find fascinating because this whole movie is just about people You know pursuing their dreams and going after what they love and just trying to protect what they know And you know what what they've grown up with and right there It's just really a genuine and just really has a human perspective From a point that I think everyone can relate to and you know just kind of kind of shine a light on everything It's like can shine a light on a lot of things that you know You may have gone through in your life and experience and it just makes for a great film You know because of that it is funny as well I love the costume design and the makeup You know I really did feel like I went back in time and you know I was You know watching you know a 70s world I mean it didn't feel like costumes it everything from top to bottom head to toe You know was just on point. It was a remarkable film the acting was great. The story was great You know there was not a dull moment. There was a number of great montages of You know moments that you know like when the women first signed the you know paid their dollar was taking photo shops And what like having a photo shop a photo shoot excuse me of them starting their own league You know that was a nice montage when they were in the beauty support parlor That was a nice montage some of the matches that was a nice montage and it didn't get all it was just a great Film with great everything with great montages and I loved it and I enjoyed it and I think you will too If I have to rate this film out of a 1 out of 10 I would easily give this a 9 out of 10 Yes a 9 out of 10, but guys again, that's just my opinion You know this movie came out last week and limited releases So I mean have you seen it yet? Do you want to see it? How about turned you on have I turned you off and do you agree with me or do you disagree with me? Let me know in the comment section below Let's get this conversation going and keep it flowing if you liked this video go ahead and give me a thumbs up And if you don't like the video, that's fine Just leave me a comment below why and still give me the thumbs up since you're watching this video on YouTube Go ahead and subscribe to my YouTube channel So you get all the content that I have to provide you can click the bell and be notified when I make uploads You can go to my website check me out there because I do have written views and you can bookmark it And also look me up on social media Facebook Instagram Twitter all that good stuff It's right there at the bottom of your screen I made it even easier for you guys by providing a link down in the description box below So guys, I just want to thank you again for tuning in to my opinion slash review for a battle of the sexist on Emma Stone Steve Carell and directed by Valerie. I forgot her name. It's Jonathan. Oh Man, I messed up the ending.  Keep it free and that's just my opinion. Peace


Hello and welcome to TheCraftBox, my name's Brent and today we are back on Pirate101 for Episode 13. Today we are going to start by talking to Major Domo. Be getting some lag. You have business with his Excellency? I trust you have a letter of introduction. Ah, let me see. So, you are? Domo. Okay. Um, I don't know. The game is going really slow today. So, yeah. Um, yeah, that's a thing. Yeah, the game is going really, really slow today, so I don't know how I skipped all of their dialogue, but I did. Why are you looming over my shop, Gangly One? Major Domo is quite right.  I'm hesitant to even be seen talking to you, but I shall take pity on your plight. There's nothing to be ashamed of. It's hardly your fault you are raised without the tiniest rate of culture or civilization. To fabricate something acceptable in your size will be, uh, difficult. I must charge you 50,000 gold coins. Lever included. Too expensive? There is an alternative. House Guzman has an unfair monopoly on Mushu Silk. Bring me silk from their ships. I make your suit. Okay. Lack. This game is going really slow today. Yeah, I can't move. That's good to know. Um, yeah, I'll be back once I've defeated their ships. Okay, so we managed to finish that. Um, I just restarted the game, and it seems to have fixed itself. It's no longer really, really having problems. So that seemed to work somehow. I don't know. Um, okay. Hello. Donado. Here is the silk. No doubt my competitors will miss it dearly. I took the liberty of making this suit while you were gone. It will fit. Don't worry. I delivered it to the governor's palace. Major Domo has it. Okay. Okay. Here we go. Major Domo, can you actually speak to us this time instead of... You must be here for your suit. It certainly took you long enough. Here it is. Yes, level 12. You look marvelous. My cousin, Sastry the Tailor, has done you proud. You're ready to see the governor now. You may proceed upstairs. Good luck, and do try to behave yourself. I can dress you properly, but I fear I'll never make a monkey stand out of you. Okay, okay. Let's train some companions, because I'm level 12. Ridiculous, captain.   I think I look fair. I look amazing. Don't know what they're on about. Okay, let's train up some companions. Tough, yes. Ruffle, tough. We'll give you rough. New challenge. Rough, yes. Sweet. There we go. Sweet. Let's talk to Governor Medina. A treaty? How fascinating. I shall give it all to you, interest and respect. Do you have a gift? I am honored. This chalice is very fine, I'm sure. I see now. You are expecting to see Governor Ortega. I fear it has been pleasant speaking with you, but my duties demand my attention. I shall consider your treaty closely. The Major Domo will have my answer. Wow, okay then. Let's talk to Major Domo again. Hello. His excellency is too polite to directly refuse, but I assure you, he will never sign your treaty. His answer is no. Your gift was an embarrassment, to say the least, but there may be something else you can offer in return for signing your treaty. I know who you are. You are the pirate who robbed the Presidio, yes? There are some who could make good use of your boldness and cunning. Seek out Bishop Hidalgo in the cathedral. He may have an offer that will interest you. But for Pete he's sick. Don't go dressed like that. Okay, here we go. The music here's really nice to be sure. And to here. To the cathedral. My boat is way too big for this area though, like, let's be honest. Hello. Greetings, child. I trust you are not here to pray. We have much to speak of. I know you're errand, and I know that it is doomed if left to formal channels. But on a more informal level, a task must be done vital to the crown. The demands of honor make it impossible for any Monquistador to do it, but you. The islands of this cluster are covered in ancient ruins whose mysterious builders vanished long ago. Nobody knows who they were or what they were doing, but they left a legacy inlaid in the living rock of their temples. Gold. The Monquista came to Stull Island before any of the other nations of the spiral. The gold we cry from these wounds makes us wealthy and powerful. Bold Monquistadors led the conquest of Stull Island, but one name outshines all the rest. Gortez. We owe him our wealth, our influence, our very empire. Almost a year ago, Gortez embarked on his latest adventure. I am asking you to follow him into the very heart of the Isle of Doom. Do not be afraid. The island is named after its discoverer Baron Ferdinand von Doom, who was unfortunately devoured by a giant snake. I hear the island is a very pleasant place, as long as you avoid the swarms of carnivorous bees, flesh-eating plants, and savage frog tribes with poisonous skin. I have no doubt you'll do very well there. Gortez was drawn to the Isle of Doom by rumors of vast treasures on that shadowed island. At first, Gortez was triumphant as always. He and his troops cut a swat into the jungle, crushing all who opposed them. Gold poured out of the jungle, more gold than ever before, but in the months that followed, disquieting rumors reached us here. Gortez, they said, had lost his way and was doing a questionable thing. Four months ago, all contact was lost with Gortez and his army. Their fate was not known until a Monquistador came staggering out of the deep jungle, raving with fever. He said Gortez had built a kingdom for himself in the jungle and ruled it like a tyrant. He had also found something wondrous, the Gold Monkey, a treasure beyond reckoning. You must act where our strongest cannot. Go to the Isle of Doom, find Gortez and bring him and this Gold Monkey to the governor. Succeed and I will ensure the governor signs your treaty. Go to O'Royal, the Outfitter. He will prepare you for your journey. Wow, okay. This is quite a quite a challenge that we've got on our hands. Finding the Golden Monkey sounds like an impressive treasure that I do really want. Uh, this way. Oh, this way into the sweet building, I believe. Yes, it is. It's really, really small. Oh my god. So, you go to the Isle of Doom. I hear it's a lovely place. Provided you keep clear of the monster spiders. The skyways near the island have grown very dangerous. The scurvy dogs and the hungry fish make the place too difficult for most ships to approach. When you sail there, I ask you to take these food supplies to the gold miners. They've been cut off for weeks. You'll be a hero to them. Okay, okay. Let's go over to the gold mine. We made it to the gold mine. This looks like an impressive place. Um, where is this person? Here we go. He's a foreman. Let's talk to him. Thank the saints. You are here. We've been so long without good food. We were about to eat our clothes. Welcome captain to the Isle of Doom. It's a lovely place if you can avoid the brain-eating parasites. Don't drink the water. You came to find your death. We used to send search parties looking for him, but now we have all their problems. Our water mow laborers are revolting. Sure. They may be short and a bit stinky, but they're hardly as bad as all that. No, I mean they are in revolt. They're attacking us. As soon as we broke into the tombs under the ruined temple, all our workers turned on. Can you help us? Punish these rebels and defeat Haku, their leader. And I'll tell you what I know of Gorte. You may be able to defeat us, but you will never be able to defeat Haku. While Haku stands, our revolt continues. Yeah, that was a struggle in there for a bit. You. Let us see who has finished old scratch. Nice work. Okay. Okay. Quickly. Over the stones. Okay, okay. We made it to Haku. That took a while. It's quite a long tunnel. So yeah, it took a while to get down here because it's right at the end. And it's not particularly sure. Let's find Haku.  Soon the old ones will rise. Wow. Okay. I think we have to defeat Haku as the main objective of this one. So let's do it. Let us defeat Haku. Let's lay down some traps. Hopefully he walks that way. And if he doesn't, well, rip. Done. Let's see. Yes, he did. That's perfect. Here we go. All out attack on Haku. Done. Fish eyes. Yes. Here we go. Ipikit one. Boom, boom, boom. What? That's unfortunate. Parting shot. That's interesting. Ipikit two. Boom. Haku's dead. Ancient one. Rise and help us. Okay. Here we go. Okay. Let's go for our attack on Ancient One. On as the Ancient One. We will get these guys up though. Below. He shoots lasers out of his eyes. That's cool. I want to do that. Why can't I do that, mom? Bom-ba-da-bom. Laser eye beams. Yes. It's so good. Lasers out of his eyes. I think we've fought those types of people before. But I can't remember. Here we go. Yes. Here we go. First strike. Yes. Yes. Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew. Okay. Boom, boom, boom, boom, down. Yes, one down. Oh, mega hit. This is a nice hit. Boom. That was pretty good. That was more than pretty good. That was epic. Another mega hit. We're doing really well. Oh, and a block. That's unfortunate. Blocked. Unlucky. Laser eyes. Okay. Let's move me up. And Sean tell up as well so we can start getting the spearman. Yay, we did it. Yay, that was good. Yay. That was pretty good. That was amazing. We did it. Let's go talk to the foreman and see where Gortez is now. Let's collect from Wing Chun. How much are you going to give us? 27? That's pretty good. How much? Four people. I don't have four friends. I have zero friends. I need help. Let's find the foreman again. Hello. Talk to us. Oh, you've done it. I will give you gold for this out of my personal share. I will also help you on your dark Gortez. I met him once. I don't know what has happened to him. There are, I think, things in these jungles that apes were not meant to disturb. The gold monkey? It is a statue of a solid gold taller than a tree. An amazing find. But I hear that it is cursed. It may be Gortez's doom. I can put you on the path his army took. Nothing more. There is an outpost up the trail. Talk to Criado there. He'll know where Gortez is. But be careful. That's drogy country and the drogies.  They are not kind to trespassers. Okie dokie, next episode we will go and talk to Criado. So yeah, thank you for watching. Hit that big red subscribe button and yeah, bye.


a Glock 37 chambered in 45 GAP. The round itself never quite took off. Now it was produced in 2003. Glock wanted to compete head to head with the 45 ACP and for a while there they did. It is a 200 grain bullet opposed to a 230 grain bullet but the idea was to increase the energy and make a higher pressure round that competes with the 45 ACP and even more so, they wanted this 45 GAP to ballistically achieve what a 45 ACP does plus P. Enjoy the round, they think it's a great round.


الشيخ عبد الرحمن مرعي العدني رحمه الله رحمة نواسعة. ما الله سبحانه وتعالى bestow his mercy on him. He was unjustly killed.  So insha'Allah وتعالى our khutbah is to speak about this topic as حاجة الأمة the need that the ummah have إلى العلماء to the scholars.  الله سبحانه وتعالى he says in the Quran إن الذين يكفرون بآيات الله those who disbelieve in the verses of Allah سبحانه وتعالى ويقتلون النبيين بغير حق and they kill the prophets unjustly.  الله who says فبشرهم بعذاب أليم give those people a glad hiding of a severe punishment of the Hellfire who do they kill? they kill the prophets and they kill those who call to good those who warn the people from destruction, deviation, shirk, bid'a and since they kill them give glad tidings to those people فبشرهم بعذاب أليم أولئك الذين حبتت أعمالهم those people their actions have been nullified في الدنيا in this world والآخر أن ينهي رافتا وما لهم من ناصرين and they have no one giving them victory so killing an innocent Muslim itself has a big serious place in our religion how about if a person kills an alem من علماء السنة الإمام ابن رجا بالحمب رحمه الله he has a little risala and he called it ورثة الأنبياء and he explains the Hadith of Abu Darda in Musnadima Muhammad very small book that a person can read in couple of hours ابن رجا بالحمه الله he comments on this ayah and he says وليهاد المعنى كان أشد الناس عذابة the people who have the severest punishment and from the people who have the severest punishment the day of judgment is من قتل نبيا the one who close the prophets why لأنه سعى في الأرض بالفساد because that person has strived on this earth to be corruption to this earth what he is working towards is corruption ومن قتل عالماء and anyone who kills a scholar who is what the scholar is a خليفة النبي he has taken the place of the prophet he has inherited the prophet this Ummah is not like the previous nations because the previous nations كلما مات النبي every time a prophet died الله will bring them another prophet as for this Ummah the ones who have taken the places of the prophet are the علاماء the scholars the people of knowledge so you've killed the people who have inherited the prophet the sheikh went on to sayen وليهاد قرن الله بين قتل أنبياء وقتل العلماء الامرين بالمعروف في قولي تعالى ويقتلون الذين يأمرون بالقصة من الناس فبشرهم باعدة بنالين الله he mentions the scholars right next to the prophets when it comes to killing them because they are the ones who are standing in the places of the prophets إخواني فقد العالم losing one scholar is a مصيبة it's a affliction الله has afflicted a nation with if they lose a scholar and if they lose a person of knowledge وهي رادة it is من أعظم المصائب rather it is from the greatest afflictions that a nation can go through our self our pious predecessors they realized that and they knew that it was serious they lose a scholar الإمام الحسن البصين رحم الله he said موت العالم the death of a scholar is a thelma it's a problem it's a place no one can fulfill he's absent it's an empty space that no one is able to fulfill unless a person of knowledge of course comes and takes that place في الإسلامي لا يسدها شيء المختلف الليل والنهر nothing can take that place if you and I die today there are probably many better than us and greater than us that are gonna come but when a scholar passes away and he goes that place is empty and that gives the freedom of shaitan to exercise his misguidance to the people ابن القيم الجوزية رحمه الله he has a book called مفتاح دار السعادة ابن القيم says لما كان صلاح الوجود بالعلماء when it became the existence of these people it's righteousness it's connected to the scholars for us to be prosperous and good and righteous it's connected to the scholars ولو لا هم and if it wasn't for the scholars كان الناس كان البهائم the people would be like the cattle the animals بل أسوأ وحالن rather we may even be worse than the animal أسوأ ابن القيم رحمه الله he said in his same book مفتاح دار السعادة he said أما العلماء بالله as for the scholars who know Allah سبحانه وتعالى they know Allah سبحانه وتعالى تعالى الشرائع the legislation that he has passed وأمره and they know the commands that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has given فهم حيات الوجود they are the life of our existence وروحه ولا يستغن عنهم طرفة عين and we are the and we are we can't live without them even a split second we can't exist without them عبد الله ابن عباس when it came to the آية أولا يروا أننا نأتي الأرض ننقصها من أطرافها الله says do they not see that we will reduce from the earth we will take from it عبد الله ابن عباس said in this آية he commented in some of the that was brought from him ابن عباس خرابها بموتع علمائها وفقائها وأهل الخير منها the destruction that comes to this earth means the death of the scholars and the jurists and the فقائها and the righteous people amongst them and also مجاهد ابن جبر who سفيان الثوري said إذا جاءك تفسيروا مجاهد فحسبك به if the تفسير of مجاهد comes to you that is enough مجاهد said that the آية is referring to موت العلماء and the death of the scholars and the scholars come into an end هلال ابن خباب he said I came to my teacher سعيد ابن جبير سعيد ابن جبير was a student of عبد الله ابن عباس he said I came to him and I said to him سأل to ابن جبير I asked سعيد ابن جبير سعيد ابن جبير is the student of عبد الله ابن عباس he said to him يا عبد الله ما علامة هلالك الناس what is the sign that the people are going to be destroyed and then he said اذا هلك علاماءهم if the scholars die if the scholars die that is when the destruction will come to a nation so a destruction of a nation is connected to what they are leaving and the absence of the scholars ولذلك a poet he said الارض تحيا إذا ما عاش عالمها متى يموت عالم ما منها يموت طرفه كالارض تحيا إذا ملغيث حل بها وإن أبا عاد في أقنافها التلفل which is that which he took from the line the ayah أولا ميرو أن نأتي الارض ننقصها من أطرافها إما محمد said الناس محتاجون the people are in need إلى العلمة to knowledge أكثر من حاجته more than they are in need of إلى الطعام والشرا more than they need food and drink the people need knowledge more than they need food and drink why? لأن الطعام والشرا because food and drink يحتاجوا إليه في اليوم مرة the person may need to drink and to eat food maybe once a day twice three times or twice والعالم as for the scholar يحتاجوا إليه بعدد and fast as for the scholars the person needs that scholar as many times as he breathes الإمام الأجر رحمه الله I think he described the need of the scholars heavily greatly masha Allah he said فما ظنكم رحمكم الله بطريق فيه آفات كثيرة he said what do you think a path that has a lot of phones and it has ditches and harmful things are on the road ويحتاجوا الناس إلى سروك في ليلة الظالماء and the people they need to go on this road at night they have to فإن لم يكن فيه مصابح if they don't have a candle a light something to shine وإلا تحييروا the people will be confused they won't know what direction to go فقيض الله لهم فيه مصابح تضيع لهم and Allah then makes for them and gives them a candle or a light something in which they can use in that dark path at night so they got it فسلكوا على السلامة and they tread on that path with peace and peace because they could see everything ثم جاءت طبقات and another people wanted to come لا بود لهم من سروك فيه and they also want to take that path فسلكوا they also took that path فبينما هم كذلك but whilst those second group that came were taking the path and they were on the path اضطفئة المصابح the light was taken away from them فبقوا في الظلمة and they remained in the darkness فما ظنكم بهم what do you think of those people what do you think those people are going to go through if the light is taken from them and it's pitch dark هكذا العلمات that's the scholars في الناس in the people لا يعلموا كثيروا من الناس a lot of the people don't know كيف أداء الفرائض how to do the obligatory acts they don't know وكيف اتشتنابوا المحاريمي and how to stay away from the prohibitive things وكيف يعبد الله and how Allah is واشبت في جميع ما يعبده بخلقه they don't also know how to واشب الله in many of the things that the people should واشب الله with except through who إلا ببقاء العلماء except with the scholars to remain with them فإذا ما تنوا علماء if the scholars die تحيّر الناس the people become confused they don't know if the scholars die تحيّر الناس the people become confused ودرس العلم and knowledge will perish brothers بموتهم due to their deaths وظهر الجهل ignorance will prevail and it will show فإنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون مصيبة ما أعظمها على المسلمين it is a great مصيبة that afflict a nation and a people إمام البخار رحمه الله الإمام المسلم most of them narrated by the authority of عبد الله بن عمر بن عاص رضي الله تعالى عنهما عبد الله بن عمر بن عاص he said that the professor عليه السلام he said إن الله لا يقبض العلم انتزعا ينتزعه من صدور الرجال ولكن يقبض العلم بقض العلماء حتى إذا لم يبقى عالما الله does not take knowledge from the people it doesn't take it away from them but it takes them by taking the scholars until there is no scholar left إتخذ الناس the people they start to take رؤوسا جوهالا they start to take leaders who are ignorant they see them as they are Mufti and scholars and they refer to those people as their علماء and their people of knowledge فسوئلوا فأفتوا بغير العلم فضلوا وأضلوا and so then those ignorant ones because they think they've been made leaders they give fatwa and they answer questions so they misguide themselves and they misguide those who are around them الإمام أبو بكر محمد ابن الوليد الترتوش رحمه الله يزبو called الحوادث والبداع في that book he commented on this particular hadith and he brought a benefit out of it which I'm going to read on you إن شاء الله انتعالى he said فتدبر هذا الحديث پوندا on this hadith فإنه يدلوا this hadith indicate على أنه لا يؤتنناس قطن من قبل علماء this hadith پوندا on it look at it and analyze it why? because this hadith indicates that the people a problem will not come to them through their scholars we're not afflicted problems and suffering and misguidance doesn't come to us from the scholars ها هوا يدزل وإنما يؤتننا but rather it comes to them من قبال أنه إذا ما تعلم أون but the problem comes to them when their scholars die افتا ما ليس بيعاليم a fatwa is then given by a person who is not a scholar فيؤتنناس من قباله and then the problem comes to them from this individual وقد صرف عمر هذا and he said عمر he done تصريف of this issue تصريف فقال ما خان أمين قطن ولكنه تومين غي أمين فخان عمر رضي الله عنه that a trustworthy one does not deceive but the one who deceived was not one who was trustworthy in the first place you gave it to the wrong person ونحن نقول and we will also say ما بتدع علم قط a scholar never innovates ولكنه استفدية but the problem is you asked fatwa you asked a question too من ليس بيعاليم in a person who wasn't a scholar فضل وأضل he misguided himself and he misguided you and that is why ربيعة الرأي ربيعة ابن عبد رحمان شيخ إمام ماليك he cried one day إمام ماليك said بك ربيعة يومة ربيعة الرأي cried one day بكان شديد and severely and then it was said to him أموصي but نزلت بك are you afflicted with a severe problem and then he said لا لا ولكنه استفدية من ليس بيعاليم the reason I am crying is because fatwa was asked by a person who was not of a knowledge this is إمام ماليك's teacher who is saying that fatwa was asked by a person who has no knowledge that is at the time of إمام ماليك if he was to see this time what you have said الزبير ابن عدي رضير رحمه الله he said أتينا أنس ابن ماليك and we came to أنس ابن ماليك and this was the time of حجاج ابن يوسف الثقافي حجاج ابن يوسف killed 120,000 people how many 120,000 people he killed so this man was a tyrant individual so they came to أنس ابن ماليك and they said أنس look at what we are going through regarding حجاج and then he said إسبيرو be patient فإنه لا يأتي زمان would be patient he did not say to them do arab spring uprise demonstrate he didn't say that he said إسبيرو be patient فإنه لا يأتي زمان because there won't come a time إلا والذي بعده أشر منه حتى تلقوا ربكم there won't come a time except the one after it is going to be worse until you meet your lord be patient this hadith ابن حجر in فتر الباري the 13th volume 13th volume page 26 to page 29 ابن حجر رحمه الله he mentions that this hadith is تشكرة بعض الناس this hadith it brought doubts to some people because this hadith says that there doesn't come a time except that the time after it is worse but then this hadith is an ishqal it's a question to some people why حجاج time was worse than the time of عمر ابن عبد العزيز and عمر ابن عبد العزيز came later عمر ابن عبد العزيز came he came later and حجاج was fast but the hadith says there doesn't come a time except the one after it is worse this ishqal or this issue or this misunderstanding عبد الله and this is what we want he says من حجر فأخر جي عقوب من أبي شيبة من طريق الحارث ابن حصيرة عن زيد ابن وهب يقول عبد الله من المسعود يقول عبد الله من المسعود he said لا يأتي عليكم يوم إلا وهو شر من اليوم الذي كان قبله حتى تقوم الساعة they will not come a day except that the day after it is worse then he said let's do it I don't mean I do not mean رخاء من العيش that your life to be fruitful and you're going to have a nice rainy day and it's going to be a beautiful day no ولا ما لن you feed and it is not because you're going to gain money ولكن لا يأتي عليكم يوم but it means that they won't come a day إلا هو أقل علم من اليوم الذي قبله except that the day that comes after it there is less knowledge حجاج may have been a tyrant leader and عمر عبد العزي of course was a just individual but the time of حجاج they were more Sahaba at the time of حجاج then they were at the time of عمر عبد العزي and this is what the hadith is referring to the goodness of a nation is the existence of the scholars it means the existence of the scholars أقولوا ما تسمعون وأستغفروا الله لي ولكم وليسائر المسلمين من كل ذنبي فاستغفروه إنه هو الغفور الرحيم الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد للحسن والثاناء والثاناء الجميل وشدوا الله إله إلا الله وحده ولا شريك له يقولوا الحق وهو يهدي السبيل وشدوا أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعليه وعلى آله وسحبه وانتبع عن بحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد إخواني إذا العلمة يذهب وإن الناس يذهب سوف يرى أكثر و فتن وملاحم خطوات سوف يتبع وانتبع سوف يتبع بحسان اللعنة the Prophet SAW told him the hour will be فإذا وضعتin أمانة فانتظر الساعة if the Amana is placed in the wrong hand wait for the hour or if the Amana is forsaken and the Sahabah said كيف إضعتوها? how will the Amana be forsaken? the Prophet SAW said إذا وسيد الأمر إلى غيره فانتظر الساعة when the matters are placed in the wrong people they wait for the hour to strike أحد خلافات ألمام الشاطبي في كتاب العتصام ألمام الشاطبي يكلم that the disunity that causes the Muslims to divide and disunity he mentions three things are the reasons Three reasons The first one is ترئيس الجهلة ترئيس الجهلة to make the ignorant's leaders to make the ignorant ones leaders and that is what he says in this كتاب العتصام he says that this is from the signs of the hour and that the Muslims will be disunited is أن يعتقد الإنسان في نتسه أو يعتقد فيه أنه من أهل العلم و الاجتهاد في الدين و لم يبلغ تلك الدرجة فيعمل على ذلك و يعمل على ذلك و يعد رأيه رأيا و خلافه خلافه that a person thinks of himself he thinks of himself or others around him think of him that he is from the people of knowledge and the people of اجتهاد and then what happens but he hasn't really reached that و لم يبلغ تلك الدرجة and he hasn't really reached that level of علم و الرسوخ و اجتهاد he hasn't reached it and then based on that people start to make him عالم and they start to implement that thought and so what do they do when you عد رأيه رأيه they start to consider his opinions and opinion so they'll say the scholars they differ in this issue what scholars and they'll say he's not a scholar و يعد خلافه خلافه and he's disagreement with the scholars will be said the scholars they differ in this issue or they agreed on it so this is one of the aspects and this only occurs when a scholar dies people start to push another person in a place people start to push another person in a place and also what happens is and that causes is seems increasing amount and سبحانه و تعالى the messenger من أشراط الساعة from the size of the hour أن يقل العلم knowledge becomes less و يظهر الجهل ignorance becomes more و يظهر الزنا and the zina prevails and it shows و تكثر النساء and the women they become more in number و يقل الرجال and the men become less حتى يكون لخمسين مرأة until 50 women for one man so here we have زنا increasing why did the prophet mention it in the context of knowledge going because these sins they come when the Ulama go and you see and you live in a time today where things you think to سبحان الله there are people saying يجوز and this only comes brothers when we lose the people of knowledge the prophet SAW said لا يكون لن من أمتي أقوام يستحلون الحرا والحريرة والخمر والمعازف ولا ينزلن أقوام يجوح عليهم بساريحة لهم يأتيهم يعني الفقير لحاجة فيقول إرجع علينا غدا فيبيتهم الله و يضع العالم و يمسحر آخرين قرادة و الخنازيرة إلى يوم القيامة that they go to come a time where people make halal for themselves they will make halal for themselves زنا يستحلون الحرا والحريرة حرا من زنا they will make halal for themselves زنا والله there is now a fatwa that some are saying that زنا is haram but boyfriend and girlfriend is permissible and as time goes on the other one starts to come into place عجائب and we have people who are pushing in the west that the علامة don't know our waka the scholars they don't know the reality that we're living in the scholars don't understand so what do they want? they want to place themselves as the scholars of knowledge that the people come back to them و يعد رأيهم رأية و خلافهم خلافها نسأل الله ثبات على الحق و العزيمة على الرشد ربنا غفلنا ذروبنا و إصرافنا في أمرنا و ثبت أقدامنا و نصرنا على القوم الكافيرين اللهم غفلنا هزلنا وجدنا و خطانا و عمدنا و كل ذلك عندنا يا رب العالمين اللهم لا تجعل الدنيا أكبر هم منها لا تصلط علينا بذروبنا بل لا يخاف كفينا ولا يرحمنا ربئات نفوسنا تقواها و زكها أن تخيل من زكاها أن توليها و مولاها ربنا آتنا في الدنيا حسنة و في الآخرة حسنة و قلع عذاب النار أنه ياصك الله سبحانه وتعالى تفجيف آو الشيخ عبد الرحمن ابن مرع العدني هو دايد اللهم لا ألوبيت سيستيتز مع النبيين و الشهداء والصالحين و حسنة أولئك رفيقة أن أفريع عالم العلماء السنة هو دايد و الله سبحانه وتعالى
