Jamaica has sign Christopher "Dudus" Coke Extradition to the U.S. 'What does this mean for the country?"

A warrant for the arrest of Tivoli Gardens strongman, Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke was signed this morning by a Resident Magistrate, the Observer has learnt.
The warrant gives the police Fugitive Apprehension Team the power to collar Coke who is wanted in the United States on drug and gun running charges.
Last night Prime Minister Bruce Golding announced that the authority to proceed with the extradition of Coke would be signed by Justice Minister and Attorney General Dorothy Lightbourne.
The US State Department has since August last year requested that the Jamaican government extradite Coke, who they describe as a major trans-national narcotic kingpin.
Coke’s stronghold of Tivoli Gardens and Denham in West Kingston has been barricaded by his supporters who say they fear an invasion from the security forces.




A deeply apologetic Prime Minister Bruce Golding tonight announced that Justice Minister Dorothy Lightbourne will sign the authority for extradition proceedings to commence against Tivoli Gardens strongman Christopher 'Dudus' Coke who is wanted by the United States to face gun- and drug-running charges.
In an address to the nation a short while ago, Golding begged the nation to forgive him for dragging out the extradition issue and for his involvement in the matter.
"The Minister of Justice will sign the authorisation for the extradition process to commence," Golding said.
Golding's head has been on the chopping block since last Tuesday's announcement in Parliament that he had personally sanctioned his party's decision to seek the assistance of United States law firm Manatt, Phelps & Phillips to negotiate with the Barack Obama administration in the contentious extradition matter.
Calls from all sectors of society for Golding to resign led him to rally his party's top brass to high level talks on the weekend.
"In hindsight the party should have never got involved in the way it did," he said in tonight's broadcast. "I must accept responsibility for it and the way it was handled and I must express my remorse. I ask for your forgiveness."

REMEMBERING AN ICON - LENA HORNE DIES AT 92

Famous singer and performer, Lena Horne, died May 9, 2010 in New York at the age of 92. Her son-in-law, Kevin Buckley released that Ms. Horne died at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center on Sunday night. The multi-talented woman paved the way for other black women in Hollywood.

Born Lena Calhoun Horne on June 30, 1917 in Brooklyn, Lena Horne shared a life of triumphs and tribulations. As a child, she was often tormented for her light skin but at the young age of 2, she became the cover girl for the “National Association for the Advancement of Colored People”. Her parent’s marriage crumbled which left Lena Horne being raised by her paternal grandparents. Her mother performed on stage in Harlem for several years and then returned to raise her daughter.

During the 1960s, Lena Horne became a leading voice in civil rights marches and protests. And while she continued to act in Hollywood, her main attraction was singing. For over a year she had her own Broadway show “Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music” which also awarded her a Tony and she continued to record well into the 1990s.

During an interview, Lena Horned accredited Billy Strayhorn for her assisting her with her singing achievements. She also revealed that the only man she had ever loved was Strayhorn who was also openly gay so nothing ever came of the relationship.

Lena Horne has many accomplishments to her name and many praise her for her early works during the Civil Rights Movement. When she was 80, Ms. Horne said “My identity is clear to me now. I am a black woman. I’m free.” It is clear with everything Lena Horne did in Hollywood, she was always true to the fans, true to her race, and true to herself.

I went back stage and spoke with the group and got their contact information because Iw anted to get them to perform for a future show and now this tragic event took place.. -- O'Neil Edwards (seen on my left and the picture right of me) was reportedly shot several times in a robbery outside the entertainer's Duhaney Park home early this morning around 1am. Edwards was allegedly approached by unknown assailants and robbed at gunpoint as he was leaving his residence, then shot five times in the head, chest and side by the escaping gunmen. he is battling for his life as we speak

The singer was rushed to the Kingston Public Hospital where he is currently undergoing surgery to remove bullets from his chest and abdomen, after which he will be transferred to the University Hospital for a CT scan and possible brain surgery.


Edwards' shooting is the latest incident in an escalating wave of violent crime, reminiscent of similar circumstances in January 2005 in which Voicemail mentor and labelmate Gerald 'Bogle' Levy was killed in an early morning shooting. Edwards recently became father of a one-month-old baby girl.
