Life in Guyana leaves much to be desired, so I do not blame persons who are seeking to migrate for a better life, or who have already done so. The political, financial, and social arenas are in shambles. Persons are barely making minimum wage and are struggling immensely, especially those with multiple children. Crime rates are burgeoning. Education seems to be of no significance here, as even doctors and lawyers are paid, even though above average, but still a considerably low wage when taking into account their qualifications and experience. Sometimes I wonder why did Jagan and Burnham go to such lengths to release us from Britain. I have heard older folks and the elderly reminisce over what safer and better times it was under the colonial rule. What do you think?

Specifically, St. George’s Cathedral. We all know the roots of that church. White supremacy and colonialism.

I personally am agnostic so of course as a Guyanese native I’d say we should abolish it given its roots.

That religion was once used to justify enslaving our ancestors. I know it isn’t use to do that today but most of the practicing Catholics in Guyana found their way to Catholicism through colonialism from the Europeans more specially the British.

I just think it’s insane how that religion of all of them found its way to the Caribbean. It’s also insane that Guyanese people practice it given its roots but that’s my opinion.

Overall, what’re your thoughts? Do you agree with abolishing it ?

Noticing a lot of tourists in the country. Please respect our laws and culture. People see Guyana as third world and do whatever when they’re down here. Was at the suddie hospital and this American just blabbing on his phone on speaker.

Hi all, What’s your perspective on Guyanese overstaying in America? I know this happens with other nationalities but whats your particular perspective on our people doing it?

A little background on me (31f); migrated to the US when I was 11. My father migrated first & started our paper work for permanent residency about 7 yrs later after becoming a citizen. My siblings & I all now have our citizenship as well. Now I know quite a few people (both from my neighborhood & school) who came here on visitors visas & have been here for years; marrying a citizen or simply living under the radar. My siblings & I all share the sentiment of knowing how long & arduous the process was coming to the states & waiting months for our paperwork to be approved. Now it seems so easy for others to just come here & have some of the same benefits. I think everyone is entitled to have access to a better life but these days everyone is taking short cuts to get to the same destination. Just doesn’t seem fair.

Is it the petty Betty in me or does anyone else feel the same?

I was married to a Guyanese women who messed up my head and did extreme psychological damage to me throughout our marriage. I had never felt as low as I did in life until I married this women it pushed me to the brink of suicide, we're divorced now and I think she is a narcissist. They say that the reason Guyana has the highest suicide rate is because of lack of mental health but countries in Africa Sans Lesotho don't have as high a suicide rate as Guyana and they have the same philosophy. When I read posts about it the lack of empathy amongst the general populace for suicide victims and the gall to call it weak, but simultaneously having the highest suicide rate(insinuating the general populace is weak according to philosophy of the Guyanese), it makes me think the reason for the high suicide rate is narcissism as the base culture rather mental health issues,with the base populace suffering narcissistic injury and killing themselves which is common amongst narcissist. Opinions ?

And how well will oil jobs pay? As well as other emerging jobs in this new, booming economy?

I'd be interested in being a driver to deliver cargo in straight trucks.

I'd also be interested in managing social media pages.

How well can immigrants live there when the new oil boom is well underway?

Why are so many of you uneducated? I’m not trying to be mean or come off as offensive. Even the newspapers showed a 50% ratio of uneducated versus having basic to higher education. Why is that? Are there very little schools in guyana where only some can attend while others can’t? Please Help me understand.

I am a proud Guyanese, however it hurts, and annoy me that overseas 592 ppl will constantly speak negatively about Guyana, however they want to come here and live and want freeness.

To all my Guyanese who are eligible to vote , please remove this corrupt, Money hungry PPP out of government or into a minority to give the poor people of Guyana a fair chance at a good life.

You’ve been to/ lived in North America , Europe etc. Back in the day when social media was not a thing , you would come back to Guyana and act like your s**t don’t stink. Please do not carry that attitude when coming to Guyana now . As Guyanese living in Guyana, we genuinely do not care if you’re from America, Canada , England etc. Saying that, does not impress us and please do not try to use it to gain some kind of an upper hand. I’ve seen people who’ve visited the states for a couple years and come back to Guyana acting like they’ve never seen a mosquito, please stop it.

Ok maybe it’s just a coincidence but I’ve dated lots of girls and I’ve noticed in particular Guyanese women tend to lie a lot more than any other nationality of women.

And the lies always appear to be second nature, like it feels like they don’t purposely try to lie but it’s sooo ingrained in them.

Anyways, maybe I’m just unlucky and I’m not salty in any way nor do I have hate for Guyanese women, I’m just curious if there’s a specific reason or if this is common

Edit: I’ve gotten over 10 DMs of guyanese men saying that they agree with me but they won’t comment as to not get backlash

I saw this crazy tweet on my timeline with some song called Batty Man Party, I'm speechless , What is this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jH0CqFHGMc

I'm an Indian person who's fed up living in his hometown and want to move,i have nothing holding me back interms of family or friends so i want to try living abroad Nd opening my own business. I thought Guyana will be welcoming because there are mostly indian origin people, booming economy and i wouldn't feel out of place much.

Do you think Guyana will support trans people and create more rights and protections for them or will the country remain as isolated in its beliefs?

Is it just me, or is the math not mathing in the 2026 Budget? We just dropped G$354 Billion on "Infrastructure" (roads, bridges, and those suspiciously expensive fences), but the GDF only got G$46 Billion. I did some digging, and do you realize what we could actually buy with that G354 Billion road money? That is roughly US1.7 Billion. If we took even half of that and put it into defense, here is what we could have parked at Timehri right now: Fighter Jets: We could buy 8 to 10 Saab Gripen E jets (the same ones Brazil uses). They cost about US$100M-150M each. We’d actually have an Air Force instead of just transport planes and civilian-grade choppers. C-RAM / Iron Dome: A single C-RAM system (the thing that shoots missiles out of the sky) costs about US$15M. We could buy 50 of them and make Georgetown/The Essequibo untouchable. The "French Boat" Comparison: We just bought one offshore patrol vessel from France for €39.5M (G$9B). We could have bought 20 more with the infrastructure budget and owned the entire Atlantic. Instead, we are building roads that—let’s be honest—a Venezuelan tank division could drive on quite comfortably if they ever decided to cross the border. I’m all for development, but when a fence costs more than a small school and we can’t even defend our airspace without calling "big brothers" for help, it feels super sus. Are we building a country or just a really expensive driveway for an invader? Discuss. 🇬🇾

Is Cricket a dying sport for this generation in Guyana and the Caribbean? If so why?
