Rumor has it that Ignatius “Nasio” Fontaine will be one of the sixteen Dominicans who will be receiving the country second highest honour at the 29th Independence celebrations on Saturday, a government statement has revealed.

My Open Thread on the Subject

How ironic that the government is honouring Nasio. True – Nasio is Dominican and an international reggae artist, but what have Nasio done for Dominica – nothing!

Until the recent Creole in the Park , that was the first appearance made by Nasio to the Dominican public. Then again the only reason that was possible was because of whatever compensation Cable and Wireless offer him. So if the government feels like they should honour Nasio…let them. But I’m sure that there are many Dominicans who share my opinion.
