  • Boy, that FELLAH dey call BUGS real smart, eh!!!

    The man figure out this whole DIAZ HUSTLE five years ago and is only now all this BACCHANAL coming to light.

    In the interest of PAN TRINBAGO clearing its name, and since BERTEL GITTENS is now a BIG WIG in this new PAN TRINBAGO ADMINISTRATION -- I am calling on BEVERLEY and BERTEL to step up and CLEAR PAN TRINBAGO'S NAME. And also to RELEASE the FORENSIC AUDIT which I know they have in their possession. As well as reaching out to MR. BOWEI and apologizing on behalf of the PAN PEOPLE and the PAN GOVERNMENT of TRINIDAD and TOBAGO.

    I cannot believe that BUGS is so smart and FIGURE out this WHOLE HUSTLE FIVE YEARS AGO.

    Ah fraid BUGS, now!!!

    • Hey Claude boi, what position yuh give meh in PTB boi?! All I do is apply for the cleaners' wok, and was not successful. 

      • This is why I SO LOVE THIS FORUM.

        That response from BERTEL GITTENS should be given  A SPECIAL AWARD!!!

        Ah want the whole wide world to know that BERTEL GITTENS and CECIL HINKSON is TWO of the GREATEST and SINCEREST PAN LOVERS I have ever interacted with ....

        And ah hear through the GRAPEVINE that BERTEL GITTENS is ah BIG CONSULTANT to THE BEV!!!

        • CONSULTANT on how to push pan?

    • Claude

      That was a pivotal moment. It was moment that the  PT gangtas knew they could get away with anything. Lock the people between patriotism and nationalism and all reason goes out the door. Even George Goddard's son fell for it. And that really surprised me.

      • Bugs,

        What was the beef with Bowie about 2-3years ago?

        • Diaz tried to steal Bowie's company. Bowie's company and what he has been doing in pan is very well documented on WST - luckily for him. Show me where one dollar of Trini money has gone to Nigeria. In fact it seems like the flow is going the other way. I never heard anyone who has met or worked with Bowie say anything negative about him. Salah and others have all said great things about him.

          • There is much more here that isnt said. Is Pan Trinbago still a pardner here, and if not, how did they get out? We all saw the grand launch to this company, it included Government Ministers of T&T, whats happening with it now?
