Lack of education seen as a deterrent to self-determination in VI
On the show aired last night, August 23, 2012, on a local radio station, Sowande said “a lot of what we are speaking about can be corrected through the process of education and through the process of learning about Virgin Islands’ history.”
He expressed that the African studies club made a contribution to the Virgin Islands studies course. “We believe it’s gonna have a tremendous impact on the level of thinking here in the Virgin Islands.”
He continued by saying that “I think a lot of our issues stem from a certain mentality.”
The co-host of the radio programme also touched on the issues of greed and principle that affect us as a people in the VI, suggesting that we need to adhere to principles instead of switching according to the circumstances that suit us.
