Reggae Artiste Black Uhuru Biography by InfosysTV The most successful of the second-generation reggae bands, Black Uhuru maintained their high quality despite numerous personnel changes in their 40-plus-year history. The first reggae band to win a Grammy award, for their 1983 album Anthem, Black Uhuru was called "The most dynamic and progressive reggae act of the 1970s and early '80s." The band, whose name comes from the Swahili word meaning "freedom," was formed in the Waterhouse district of Kingston by Don Carlos, Rudolph "Garth" Dennis, and Derrick "Duckie" Simpson.

My mother's man keeps asking me for sex

Image
Dear Pastor, I love reading your column and I need your advice. I have a problem. I am just 18 years old and I don't know what to do. I am living with my mother and stepfather. My stepfather is always asking me for sex, and I can't tell my mother because when I was 14 years old, my mother used to have a man visiting her, and whenever she was not there, the man used to always ask me for sex. So one day I decided to tell my mother, and my mother didn't even ask him. She threatened to beat me because she said he would never put question to me. I called my father and told him and he threatened my mother. He told her if she put her hands on me because of her dirty man, the law will have to come for him. When my mother told the man what my father said, he said that he would leave because I am a liar. He left and my mother called my father and told him to come for me because I am causing trouble. My father told me to pack my bag. My aunt came for me and my mother started to cry an

Can't stop sleeping with my sister-in-law

Dear Pastor, I am a 43-year-old man and I am married, but I have a big problem. I got married 10 years ago to a beautiful woman. She thought she was pregnant, so we hurried up and got married. It was something we were planning and she missed her period and so thought that she was pregnant, so we decided to get married privately. Afterwards, we discovered that my wife was not pregnant at all. We laughed it off because it was not our wish to have a child born out of wedlock. Her sister and I were good friends. I had sex with her before I got married. We agreed that her sister and I should get married. But during the 10 years of my marriage, every time we had a chance, we had sex. She lives in New York and when I go to New York without my wife, we sleep together. To tell you the truth, I enjoy having sex with her more than my wife. She came to Jamaica and we had a family reunion where her mother saw us kissing. We did not see her and her mother told my wife. My wife asked me about it

Buju Banton's daughter Jodian Myrie, the Jamaica Labour Party's candidate for the Hagley Park Division in the Kingston and St Andrew Corporation (KSAC). The Hagley Park Division in the Kingston and St Andrew Corporation (KSAC) has never been won by the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP). The party came within a whisker of taking the seat in 2007 when Mazielyn McIntosh fell short by 75 votes. Otherwise, Hagley Park has been the playground of the People's National Party (PNP), but Jodian Myrie is adamant that this will not be the case for long. Nenna Wilson won the seat for the PNP by 344 votes in 2012 and is again on the party's ticket. However, Myrie, 26, the daughter of reggae superstar Buju Banton, feels an upset is on the cards. "It is not an easy seat if you generalise Hagley Park with the constituency of East Central St Andrew," Myrie said as she moved to dismiss suggestions that the division is a tough one. East Central St Andrew is represented in Parliament by

US border patrol agents intercept a group of migrants who arrived in the US via the Rio Grande.  Migrants from Central American countries are rushing to cross the southern US border before President-elect Donald Trump takes office early next year, a report says. Trump has recently reiterated his plans to deport undocumented immigrants, saying he would begin expelling millions of them “immediately” after swearing in on January 20. Days after winning the presidential election on November 8, Trump said that approximately two to three million "criminals" will be either deported or jailed when he takes office. During his election campaign, the billionaire businessman had vowed to adopt a hardline immigration approach that included increased deportations and the construction of a massive wall along the US-Mexico border. Officials from Central American countries told the Reuters news agency on Thursday that many people are accelerating their plans to reach the United States before
