Vinaka 👍

Perhaps you a correct in a sense Eddie but my opinion is if you are born/bred in Fiji, your way of life, mother language (itaukei), your allegiance to country should be to Fiji only. Infact do not start transforming our beautiful Fiji Islands to part of India which is what it is seems to be heading to. Just exercising my free speech!!

You seem a bit upset , rightfully so but you got to understand the grievances of some of these people. I am indo Fijian , third generation but my story is quite different. My father left Fiji for greener pastures in 1978 after serving in the police force . I was 5 years old at the time . Obviously my grandparents were looking after the farm back in Fiji . My father meanwhile was working hard , educating himself and us siblings and overall doing very well. A very proud indo Fijian and very proud of his service in the force he still displays his photos with his colleagues including the photo of the commissioner of police at the time , still displays photos of some of his colleagues , rugby and soccer representatives from the force . After the first coup my grandparents got displaced from their farm but my father was able to bring them overseas. Unfortunately they are not with us anymore. My father was disappointed that where we were born and grew up was gone . His biggest disappointment was when he used to visit Fiji and visit the farm, he couldn’t believe that once a thriving farmland and a beautiful home was in shambles. Only thing left was a tin shed 10 acres of farmland full overgrown grass and bush instead of sugarcane. One cannot call that progress. If the coup was done in the name of progress, well something went really wrong. You probably realise a lot of prominent and educated Fijians , Indo Fijians , Chinese Fijians and part Europeans left the country after the subsequent coups leaving a void in terms of expertise experience and economic management. And as for myself, I have only been to Fiji twice because there is nothing for me or anything which fancies my interest. No disrespect to the people of Fiji but that’s how it is for now. I regularly read and watch Fiji news and there are lot of bright people on both sides of politics. Fiji has a youthful population which can be of great advantage if the government can maintain law and order educate the youth , keep them free from drug use and crime, the future will be very promising. It’s only early days for the current government but it seems that they are on the right track . God Bless Fiji .
