ronaldreagan26: Eke40seven; good post you have up there,please paragraph your writeup for easy assimilation, comprehension and readership.
Thank you very much for your good observation. I had paragraphed the initial write up, however, in a word processed format (for backup purposes) before pasting it on this forum but I was too drowsy to see that it didn't reflect on the site. I will make the necessary adjustments accordingly.
Sorry for the inconveniences you encountered reading and assimilating it and thanks once again.

A pleasant day/night to all of you wonderful contributors. I promise to be more prompt with my responses given that I'm now more settled since returning to work in China.

I'm sorry for the delay in my feedback. I've been trying to manage my life here(in China) and things in Guyana from here (China).
@Amnestylaw1, black people are the second largest population in Guyana.

@Originalsly, your sentiments are shared by some Guyanese so and especially those who still live and work in Guyana.

@Eke40seven, thanks for compliments. I'm also impressed by your ability to use both standard and "broken-English". Broken English does make sweet conversation. "Who ever seh dat British chat is de best, nah man. Try we bruk up chat and you can sleep pun it or roll over wit nuff laff. It could finish don any straight-up linguist" Wow, we share the same word "backside" to mean the rear-end of the anatomy.

The media can finish don any nation with one crazy act by a lunatic from our homeland. Talking about villages and their fears about inter-ethnic marriages is similar to Guyana's situation with village girls marrying city boys. Parents are afraid that city boys are too shine (smart in a negative way) for their innocent girls. However, city boys like marrying village girls because they are generally compliant unlike some city girls.

East Indian families generally have a much stronger influence on marriage relationships than black families and the other ethnic groups. East Indians tend to select spouses for their children and they have the dowry (bridal price) culture similar to some parts of Africa. However, this culture is becoming less dominant with children now choosing their own spouses.

Guyanese families are generally very closely knitted. Children tend to live with parents regardless of age until they get married and move to their own place. In some East Indian families, the spouse moves into the house of the family of the other spouse.

Guyana and it's neighbours that you mentioned get along very well except for a few land issues which they are trying to resolve through varies agreements and treaties. Quite a few Brazilians currently live in Guyana and have several business such as night clubs, bars, shops etc. They generally do diamond-mining in Guyana.

Guyana's politics is not as exciting as in the past. Historically, there were many dynamic players from both the opposition and ruling parties.
Now, there's more infighting among party members that progress towards vision for the country.

However, a Guyanese becomes one when they leave Guyana(black or East Indian, ruling party or opposition).
I was in downtown New York first week in August and someone shouted out my name and district. I hadn't seen that Guyanese for over 20 years.
I was in New Jersey two years ago and an East Indian woman recognised that I was Guyanese from my accent and started telling me of all her troubles in life. She was speaking loudly and freely not caring that others in the supermarket were listening to her.

Georgetown Seawalls - It's simply the wall separating the city from the sea. If any of you ever come to Guyana, you must visit there. It's also called "Breezy Hotel". Young and old go there at nights with boyfriends, husbands or whoever and the sea and stones see and hear things that should be secret.

I guess the happenings occur in the other cities at their seawalls too.

Again, interracial marriages occur because some black women prefer only black men because they think that they are well-endowed in their anatomy of pleasure. It's the same reason that some East Indian women like black men.

However, some East Indian men in Guyana are generally very hard-working and even those without formal education know how to manage a successful business. Some black men are on the get-rich quick syndrome and therefore do not do well in business.

In Guyana, some East Indian woman marry black men because they think that they are rock hard in their pleasure zone while some black women think that black men don't know how to prepare appetizers or desserts. They only could prepare the main course.

Dancing in Guyana - I would like to challenge a Nigerian, Ghanaian or Kenyan man to wine (gyrate) like a Guyanese man. Oh boy, Guyanese men can wine. We have several types of music but Soca music and Reggae music challenge every body part.

I even forget the East Indian Chutney music - that will blow your mind when you see an East Indian man wine. East Indian girls can also wine ooh. There are basically two categories of Guyanese in terms of music and party:
1. Party-fans - This groups are die-hard party-goers that don't miss a weekend jam even a week-day jam.
2. Occasional party-fans - This group only goes out based on the mood.
3. Stay-homers - This group finds pleasure in solitude and suggest that staying at home puts them in higher-moral class than groups 1 and 2.

Groups 1 and 2 don't care what group 3 thinks and they consider group 3 people to be social bores. Generally, Guyanese men love women from group 3.

@ dd25251 am awed at your narrative renditions of your home country GUYANA, AND HUMBLED BY YOUR INDIFFERENCE to the ugly and demeaning stereotypes Nigerians are usually associated with. I respect your highly matured and well informed opinion that we find good and bad people every where on the globe irrespective of creed, color, tribe or race. i would certainly love to visit Guyana someday..may be settle there. if you wouldnt mind i would love to relate with you on personal terms, your modest and scintillating personality speaks of you.. thanks

dd25251, thank you for this thread. I shall take my time and study through it.

God willing, I would be travelling to Guyana soon. I've just been admitted into Texila's 4 years MD program.

To all: Kindly share all you know about the school. With a B. Sc in Human Anatomy, how easily can I access a job? How about the cost of living (accommodation, feeding, transport, communication, etc) per year?

Kindly educate me please..

Thanks..

Hello,

How do you mean please? Could you please provide me with facts?

What I have read is satisfactory, so far..

Share any fact you know please as this would help me (and any other Nairalander considering Texila) in making our decisions.

Thanks.

Shollyboy2, there is no Guyanese Embassy in Nigeria. You must get a Guyanese to invite you and as such, you can be given a visa on arrival. Also, yes you can obtain a student visa after acceptance at an accredited full time institution in Guyana.
so can you invite me to Guyana

I'm Guyanese born, groomed and breed.
If you are leaving Nigeria, Ghana or any other nation because you would like to make quick money in Guyana. It's the wrong place to come. Poor Guyanese are going to other countries for the same purpose.
If you would like to start your life all over again, go to school, gain a passport with more international visa privileges than Ghana and Nigeria then Guyana can be a possible destination.
The education is affordable and accepted in many places globally. You should have your own money for your upkeep or have a reliable sponsor to be able to live and study in Guyana.
Guyana has a similar culture to Ghana and Nigeria but is still more Westernised compared to both countries.
Guyanese are generally friendly and hospital so if you treat them right, they will treat you right.
Guyana only has 750,000 people so if anyone start a spree of lies, they will quickly be found out and you will be scorned by all.
Our education institutions are not large because there is no need for it to be large. The size is large enough to suit it's population.
