Celebrate life and unite, Premier urges
Premier Dr Natalio Wheatley is encouraging the people of the Virgin Islands to celebrate life. That was his central theme as he spoke briefly to the many patrons who attended his Christmas party last Thursday evening.
The Premier also encouraged people to unite and offer helping hands to those in need during Christmas.
“On behalf of my wife and my family, I just want to express my profound appreciation for you who have seen it fit to make the time out of your busy schedule to come and grace us with your presence tonight,” Dr Wheatley said.
He stressed the importance of celebrating life, especially after losing loved ones over the years.
“Throughout the course of the year, throughout the course of a number of years, we’ve had a number of persons who would be friends, who would be family members, persons who are prominent members of our community who have made such awesome contributions. And some of those persons are no longer with us. And we remember them and we miss them. But we also have to remember for those who remain, you cannot forget to celebrate life,” he stated.
The Premier reminded attendees that life is a blessing. “Because God has given us life and thank God for the breath of life that he breathed into all of us. And once we have that breath of life, we have to live the most of it,” he said.
Dr Wheatley also called on residents to show love and unity, helping each other whenever possible. “We have to do all we can to assist our fellow man, our fellow woman. And we have to be our brother and our sister’s keeper. And certainly, while we have difficulties and challenges in life, we can overcome anything through faith, through love, through unity,” he added.
The Premier’s speech served as a reminder to celebrate life, honour those who have passed, and uplift those around us. “We have to make the most of it and do all we can to assist our fellow man,” he stated.

Verse 1
Wheatley is, Wheatley is,
Winning all the way!
Opposition out of steam,
With not much more to say!
Oh, Wheatley is, Wheatley is,
Winning all the way!
BVI is on the rise,
Let’s celebrate today!
Verse 2
They tried to sabotage,
They tried to instigate,
They plotted and they schemed,
Hoping progress would deflate.
But our Premier he stood strong,
With strategy so great!
Deputy Smith is gone,
And Fraser’s in her place!
Chorus
Oh, Wheatley is, Wheatley is,
Winning all the way!
BVI is on the rise,
Let’s celebrate today!
Oh, Wheatley is, Wheatley is,
Winning all the way!
Opposition out of steam,
With not much more to say!
Verse 3
No-confidence not passed,
it didn’t stand a chance.
Premier came prepared,
With a hundred mil advance!
Health care on the mend,
The roads will be repaired!
Public works moving fast,
A future bright and fair!
Chorus (repeat)
Oh, Wheatley is, Wheatley is,
Winning all the way!
BVI is on the rise,
Let’s celebrate today!
Oh, Wheatley is, Wheatley is,
Winning all the way!
Opposition has no ideas,
With not much more to say!
WTF?

His grand Xma$$ paaaaaaaaaarty!
Eat, drink & fete for F R E E on the tax payers dime! Watch me wuk babies!!!
CHUPES
Eat, drink and be merry, while his and the other greeders pockets continue to bulge at the seams.
Meanwhile, it is clear that some to most will transition to the other world without even getting either a pound, shilling, pence or dollarfor the donkey years ago done worked for.
Hence, the leaders of this so called government is a heartless lot.
Current employees should form a coalition of protest with the retirees and shut every major stream of revenue down forthwith until all increments are paid in full, or. all of the greedy bill money is returned to the people.
Of course your cronies will celebrate life while the cri s of the poor
Go on deaf ears
The poor has nothing to celebrate
Celebrate life by getting ourselves from under the Natalial yoke.
On Minimum wage? How the celebrations going for you this Chistmas? The Natalial people getting fat off your loss!!
