On Tuesday, April 1, a United States (US) immigration court judge in Miami, Florida, wished a Jamaican family the best of luck in their efforts to solidify their asylum case, several years after they handed illegal firearms over to Jamaican law enforcement.

Welcome to Pamphret… or is it Pomphret? Or maybe even Pamphery? 🤔 In this video, we dive into a bizarre yet frustrating issue in St. Thomas, Jamaica, where newly erected road signs feature a glaring spelling error.
Local residents, including Alison Harrison, have voiced their concerns, questioning how such a mistake could happen and why no one approved the signs before installation. The controversy highlights broader issues of oversight, governance, and the ongoing efforts to develop Jamaica’s "forgotten parish."
We speak with local officials and community members who shed light on the process behind these signs, the push for correction, and whether the National Works Agency (NWA) will take action. Some officials claim the spelling variations are acceptable, but residents argue that historical and cultural accuracy matters.

A viral statement from the Minister of Finance has sparked debate across Jamaica: Can saving JMD $2,000 per month for three years really help you buy a Toyota Probox? We hit the streets to hear what Jamaicans really think about this claim and whether it’s a smart savings strategy or unrealistic financial advice.
Many believe that given the rising cost of living, vehicle prices, and additional expenses such as insurance, gas, and maintenance, this idea simply doesn’t add up. Others argue that while the amount may not be enough to buy the car outright, it’s still a step towards financial discipline and securing a down payment.
