Premier says he is presenting divine leadership
Premier Dr Natalio Wheatley suggested that he had been called by God to lead the territory. He promised to lead the territory into an era of prosperity with the support he received after answering that call to lead the BVI.
The Premier made the comments as he brought his budget address to a close yesterday and thanked government members and members of the public service for their hard work in contributing to the budget.
“I am presenting the leadership that I believe God has called me to provide in these crucial times and I’m answering the call,” the Premier said as he wrapped up his speech.
He added: “I take my responsibility very seriously and with God as my guide and [with] a strong team by my side, and the prayers, support, and advice of the people of the Virgin Islands, we will re-instil hope and start a new era of prosperity.”
Meanwhile, the Premier commented that this is a critical time for leadership and urged that members of the opposition in the House of Assembly must come together with the government for the common good of lifting the territory to new heights of greatness.
“Yes, we have our disagreements and challenges, but these times are too crucial. The stakes are too high for us to be locked in partisan bickering,” the Premier said.
He urged elected officials to show that they are capable of a new brand of politics which places building the nation and the needs of the people first ahead of their own individual and partisan interests.
Opposition Leader Ronnie Skelton said he accepted the Premier’s offer of a proverbial olive branch but argued that the opposition has not seen many of the things they requested, including funding to support the research needed to make the opposition more effective.
The opposition recently walked out of a House sitting to protest unfair treatment by the government after accusing the administration of pushing their concerns on the back burner.

lead the territory in which direction??
But it wasn’t the same YOU that was on the radio trash talking the past doings of the past administration and belittling the members of the opposition for speaking out in displeasure after their most recent walk out? Now you saying the stakes are too high for partisan bickering? YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH Premier!! Nonetheless, you are indeed chosen! Lean by example mannn! And focussssss!
Sounds like Head Couch.
Giving me PTSD
Gawd. Who does that remind you of..? We are in trouble!
BOFL!… This man is really Head Coach Jr.
Hear this Poppy-Show. Set a less MS.
All thias Divinity gibberish abd pontificating is a jolt back to the memory of walrus the prior premier on his knees in public. Totally nauseating and will only end in the tragic demise of a not too ling ago decent peopke with decency as their guide.
Look what divine teaching did to our last premier. They must share a similar alarm clock…
As soon as someone suggests they’re installed by god they should be removed. You’re installed by the people. They are your clients. If you’re taking instructions from elsewhere, particularly a mythical being, you’re not fit to run the country
I’m always leary of any politician who talks about devine leadership. I don’t trust them as their myopic religious views cannot be inclusive of the entire population (in this case) they are suppose to represent. I will sleep with both eyes open with any politician who speaks this way.
Rum and religion. The ingredients that enabled slavery.
Say a man who buy he win. Where my money
Stop it mon
Lawd help us. (pun intended)!
I remember a guy who was always down on his knees, hands in the air, in tears and surrounded by “prayer warriors”. Saying that they were “praying for the country”. Look at the state of the BVI.
When you hear this kind of talk, look out for trouble.
Just ignorant and wrong
Get thee behind me!!
Natalio Wheatley YOU WOULD BE THE LAST PERSON GOD CALL ON TO HELP HIS PEOPLE. IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY WHY DONT YOU JUST SHUT UP YOU ARE A DID***CE TO THE PEOPLE OF THE RITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS.
This sounds so familiar, doesn’t it? The Mighty Head Coach. People, please don’t be fooled, HC is still calling the shot around here..
So we heard. All those people jumping back at stuff (besides wade) probably is to help Coach case.
How can the Holy Spirit lead and guide someone who commit Adultry, use marajuana , tell lies?
God is a Holy God He does not dwell in an unclean body
That is how the Head Coach started ising God as cloak ; be careful!!!
you telling me God would be mad for using a plant HE created
for making this premadonna
She left her husband side and listened to her brother which is a breach and cannot be pleasing to the almighty. Power over everything else it would seem. We know lorna will wuk but she now needs to get to another corner. Luce need to get to another corner too because district 4 does not play guessing. Move now. Kye need to move too but guess he is comfortable although he is looking very incompetent under the current regime.
Divine leadership? Ok Natandrew. Folks look up divine leadership. So after he and his posse them paid people and some still waiting for payment is he boasting divine leadership? It is you who breached good governance and then you want the same people to comply support and respect you go sit down. This must be an episode from the twilight zone. We are in deep deep trouble.
Bring out the sackcloth and ashes,and let’s pray. God is not to be messed with. Mathew 7:7 ask and it shall Ben given unto you, seek and ye shall find , knock and it shall be open. If you are not willing to go the extra mile, to fix this problem, don’t call God into it, because there is alway and exchange to gain with.
There are smaller countries than Tola that the people are rich in attitude,in financial wealth, in spiritual wealth and in contentment, they are given siesta during the day, closing every shop, there health are in top shape, they government support the young to build houses with 50% financial supports and more in education.
This country once was a living eco system,it’s now dying. So, prepare to talk with God through prayer and fasting for the whole island if you want quick results. Drastic measures must be put in place to show God you are committed to change. As to that sit down and think again. God is not to be mock.
is he now channeling CSK? What next? The Territory is run down and in shambles because the Almighty made us do it?
18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Is saying )> I have great plans for our future , I can see clearly now
This way he can blame sone else like he always does
Head Coach Vibes
Many are called But few are chosen. It is true that its God who sets up But He also takes down. Don’t confuse the two. God is NOT the Author of confusion.
The BVI is in a State of confusion right now But according to the Man of God, It won’t be long.
If God places you in command, then it can only mean that God setup the head coach for failure.
That statement alone is why anybody but HIM should leaf this territory. Can’t do any worst. We the leader of your country start to sound like Jim Jones an I’m not talking bout Dip Set. We have a problem.
This man was called by THE PEOPLE, not God. God did not cast a vote.
Wheatley was called by the people to lead us through difficult times on his promises of strong transparent leadership and fiscal responsibility. Now he doesn’t want to fulfill those promises, so calls himself annointed by God.
It’s like if you buy takeout tofu curry then get home to find it’s goat curry. When you call the restaurant, can they say “oh, we made a mistake, but it’s annointed by God. God wants you to stop being vegan.”?
No they can’t because that is Blasphemy.
STOP THRIFFLING WITH GOD BOY MAN
Must be the God from Senegal got He fooled now. Pray People Pray!!! January soon come. The Senegalions Demons are roaming about our Territory. Where it start, it must finish. Lots of Activities happening.. Be Viligant..
Is that an earned doctorate from an accredited university or a $25 one from the back of a comic book?
Can anyone in territory execute intelligently without bringing up invisible religious things not all believe in? This is local democracy. Use the fkn brain he gave u and stop throwing his name up there. You alone elected here.
