Montego Bay Day By Day dia naka sombin-dahatsoratra avy amin'ny The Road to Freedom na lalam-pahafahana nosoratan'i Tanesha Ramdanie, izay mamariparitra ny fihetsika mamaly ny filazana ara-tantara:

Tears of joy flowed incessantly, while shouts of freedom rang from the mountain tops and the plains, from the men, women and children, who had learnt that they were finally free of the oppressive social and economic system in which they were treated as less than human.

…raha naka ampaham-kira  malaza Baribady izay nanainga ireo andevo afaka an'arivony hihira an-dalambe hihira ny isan'andininy rehefa nandre ny fanafoanana ny rafi-mpanompoana ka mametraka amin'izay ny tena fahafahana tamin'izany taona 1838 izany i Gallimaufry :

Lick and lock-up done wid,
Hurrah for Jin-Jin!
Lick and lock-up done wid,
Hurrah for Jin-Jin!

God bless de Queen fuh set we free
Hurrah for Jin-Jin!
Now lick and lock-up done wid,
Hurrah for Jin-Jin!

Tsitoha hitahy ny mpanjaka nandefa antsika ho afaka,
mihoraha ho an'i Jin-Jin
Nihidy anaty lalina no afaka nahazo ny malalaka,
mihoraha ho an'i Jin-Jin

 
“Jin-Jin” dia milaza ny Mpanjakavavy Victoria ary io tononkira io dia voasokitra ao ambadiky ny sarivongan'ny fanafahana ho fahatsiarovana an'i Bussa - andevo nitarika ny fikomiana tamin'ny tompon'ny sahabe naharitra indrindra tany Baribada ary maty mahery fo nandritra ny ady iray.

Mpamaham-bolongana Baribady hafa, Dennis Jones, no mitantara ny fisesisesin'ny asa any Bridgetown ho fiomanana amin'ny fety:

The Esplanade was already set up and decked ready for celebrations later in the day. Amongst those already milling around for these, I saw many Rastas, or at least people with dreadlocks and tied heads; they were equally numbered with people who were dressed in west African style clothes. Each group was outnumbered by vendors at this early stage, as they set up and started cooking: the smell of the fish fritters was really hard to resist…

Saingy nampiany hoe:

I'll be very surprised if I hear many words about emancipation during the day, except during the radio or TV broadcasts related to the day's celebrations, and that strikes me as sad. For most of us there is nothing august about this day–nothing majestic, dignified, or grand. It is very ordinary. Maybe freedom has made us all complacent about what bondage really represented. Many black people only focus on the slave heritage imposed on their ancestors by Europeans and so see it as a white-on-black “crime”, and know little or nothing about the long history of slavery…

So, while we can loll around complacently with the freedom that we now have, we ought to get sight of its absence in many, many places. Remember that slavery is an international injustice, that has racial and ethnic aspects far removed from black-white relations.

Noho izany raha mianoka ny fahafahana iaianana ankehitriny isika, dia tokony hahay mijery ny fahabangany any amin'ny toerana maro dia maro. Tsarovy fa tsy rariny hita any amin'ny firenentsamihafa ny fanandevozana, ary toetram-pifandraisana eo amin'ny foko na fiaviana mifanalavitra amin'ny fifandraisan'ny fotsy sy ny mainty

Na izany aza dia namoaka ny fandaharam-potoana hotanterahina mandritra ity Androm-panafahana ity i Discover TnT Blog ho an'i Trinite sy Tobago ary Abeni avy any St. Vincent sy Grenadines indray nisintona avy amin'i  Bob Marley sy Maya Angelou hilazany ny fomba fijeriny ny mahazava-dehibe tokony hankalazana mandrakariva ity fotoana ity.

Judging from the reports in the newspapers and the talk shows it appears as if incidents of rape are on the increase. However, I want to tell those women who come on the airwaves and attempt to lay the blame on scantily dressed women how wrong they are. Ladies, rape is an act of violence and a power trip. It has little to do with the desirability of the women or the need for sex […]

I won't deny that at times some women mode of dress cause me to raise my eyebrows but I have never, ever thought that they were begging to get raped. Do I need to remind my Vincentian sisters of the rapes perpetrated on the elderly women and on the children of our land? Were they dressing provocatively as well and flaunting their stuff to these poor helpless men? I think not[…]

Put the blame squarely where it lies and quit with the excuses. Ladies, secure your homes properly especially if you live alone, avoid being in unsafe places and try as much as possible to go out in groups. These are some of the common sense things you can do to protect yourselves in this climate of heightened violence. Clothing is the least of it.

Tonight, SVG TV reported that the price of flour will soon be going up. I wonder if this is a plot to steer us away from flour and to more healthy living […]

Look how bread about to turn luxury on us! […]

It seems I have to get a liking for those veggies. Wait, they cost way more than the bread so I got no where to go. It appears I will have to love flour from a distance

“Nambaran'ny SVG TV io takariva io fa hisondrotra atsy ho atsy ny vidin'ny lafarinina [koba varim-bazaha]. Dia manontany tena aho raha tsy tetika vokatry ny fikaondoha mba hanalavirana antsika ny lafarinina sy izay fomba fiaina mahasalamana izany […]

Jereo ny fivadiky ny mofo ho zary entam-barotra haitraitra ho antsika ! […]”

Ohatry ny hitombo izany ny fitiavako ireo anana sy zava-maitso. Andraso kely aloha, mbola lafo lavitra noho ireo mofo izy ireo ka dia very hevitra aho [tsy hitako izay aleha]. Angamba izany dia amin'ny “fijery” ihany [avy lavitra] sisa no hitiaviko ny lafarinina.”

Izany no lazain’i Abeni momba ny “Asan’ny mozika mandrisika ny maivan-doha” rehefa naheno ny vaovaon’ny fandraràna mpihira iray tsy hihira any St Vincent izy.
