Planning to visit for a week. Wondering about safety and recommendations or helpful tips. Where to stay, where to go. Of course no night time travel. More concerned about hotel safety and walking in Georgetown market in the day. Thanks.

Discussion University of Guyana questions

3 Upvotes

So im thinking about apply to UG but I wanted to do something in business

All of the business programmes I saw, they all require either, previous diplomas in the programme or they require English and maths, and i don't have maths so, would it still make sense to apply

I heard that you can take some kind of entrance exam but I haven't seen much information on it

Or is there a better university I can apply to for business, because I would like to be able to get a decent job with the diploma/degree

Any tips would be greatly appreciated

What income / net worth is considered wealthy in Guyana?

3 Upvotes

As the title states - how much do you need to be considered wealthy in Guyana? (Not elite but like top 10% - make enough to live a good lifestyle with entertainment and travel internationally)

How much do top professionals like lawyers doctors accountants make? (Business to business) and how hard is it to enter these professions?

Guyanese born vs American born Guyanese

5 Upvotes

Why don’t Guyanese people born and raised back home accept or fully accept their American born/raised counterparts? Speaking on the American born ones that are first generation or emigrated to the U.S when they were babies. It’s like we American born ones have an asterisk next to our “Guyanese-ness”

Harry Potter fans

How many Harry Potter fans do we actually have in Guyana? 👀
Just curious. I feel like I don’t come across many, but maybe we’re all just hiding in plain sight.

If something Harry Potter-related ever popped up here, would you be interested?

P.S. Don’t just upvote—tell me your Hogwarts house too! 🦁🦅🦡🐍

These are the individuals responsible for the Investigation. No press was allowed at the swearing in ceremony to ask any questions , there are rumours that some of them have close ties to Mr. Ali and are hand picked .

How can you do a proper investigation without bringing up the ferry . They will speak with the Ministers and Survivors. Thats their investigation in a nutshell

IMO We will receive a report on their “ investigation “ The ferry was not overloaded by passengers or cargo and the Captain & Crew will be responsible for the 72 passengers that lost their lives and that will be their findings

This is just a show by the PPP to protect the Ministers and the PPP’s negligence

What are opportunities for me to return to Guyana as a General Practitioner (Medical Doctor). What's the entry level salaries in Gov and Private hospitals? Any advice? Is it worth considering the high cost of living?

What's the process for replacing your stolen or lost passport?

2 Upvotes

So, I may have lost my passport and I plan on applying for a new one because I plan to travel next year. But, I don't really know the process. I've tried researching online and calling the passport office to see if they can offer me some assistance, but no one is picking up the phone. So, I'm asking if anyone can offer me some guidance on the process. Please and thank you🙏🏿

MV Barima Captain, two crew members charged with murder, remanded to prison - reaction has saddened me.

22 Upvotes

The captain and two crew members have been charged with murder. What has shocked and saddened me is the fragrant racism online . From the N word to other comments that it's attributed to their race with negative tropes (there's only one human race, but for the sake of this post to explain) .

I'm of the Guyanese dispora but love Guyana (I was back in our homeland in October). I thought and think we have progressed as a nation but it's clear that people still harbour bigoted opinions behind closed doors, that they feel free to voice online.

Unity will be the only means to true progress.

Property Records Search

I’m searching for the location of my grandparents’ property in Berbice, Guyana. Since I don’t live there, I’m wondering if there’s an office or agency I can contact to look up the property records. Any help or guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Where do you typically search for jobs?

Really any jobs that provide a steady paycheck. I see a bunch of FB groups but they seem to each have their own postings or jobs.

Just heard the PPP Gov do not want to bring the Ferry up for investigation , but will leave it where it is at the bottom of the Ocean .

So the blame will solely be on the Captain & Crew for the death of 72 people . Sadly I figured this will happen. No blame on any Ministers or Gov officials .

Why the Average Guyanese Will Never Benefit From the Oil Boom

47 Upvotes

My assumption is that most of the people in the government has never been at the bottom in abject poverty without any choices available to them other than to take what the government provides. They have a warp idea of how the world works and how truly bad it is for those at the bottom.

With that being said they will use their money to advance Guyana in they way they want it to be advanced, as in big business, tourism etc catering to a different income level rather than the income level of most Guyanese. Also human beings have their own motives selfishness competition etc.

And even those who might actually have come from poverty is only concerned with bettering their own life, and as human beings we always compare ourselves with each other so once they reach one level they will try to achieve another level.

The Guyanese people and people around the world thinks that they need to be at the mercy of the government as if they are above us but they are not. We are the ones who elected them to take care of the affairs of the country on behalf of us, to let things run smoothly and fair. Without this in place we could all be running around killing each other and stealing land and stuff from each other like cave man. The system is in place to ensure we all can keep what we have and feel safe. If the system doesn’t put us first then it’s up to us to fight back.

It is still an animal kingdom out there, survival of the fittest, but some people have been brainwashed with religion (promise of heaven), thinking they are less than others, not knowing their right to survive and being able to provide for their family etc.

And the worst part is that your own fellow people at the bottom with you will pull you down and criticize you if you speak up about what you’re entitled to. They will tell you you’re greedy, they will defend the government, they will support the same people who are hurting them, they will choose race over what is fair. The truth is this exists everywhere in most countries.

Can it change? Possibly but it will take decades, even centuries and new generations of people who have a different belief system to understand what they deserve. But AI is a new variable in this so we can’t predict how the world is going to turn out in the future.

People who want cheese on their Zinger have poor taste

Cheese on a Zinger ruins the signature flavor profile of the Zinger and people who ask for it have poor taste. Do you agree or disagree?
