    This man caused a lot of innocent people to loose their life and probably single handily responsible for the gun culture in Jamaica up until now.

    Michael Manley and Edward Seaga were giants. They did not agree on policies but had the utmost respect for the Jamaican people and each other. Each had many faults and were all too human. However, together they helped build a nation.

    I was a kid living in Jamaica during the Seaga/Manley era. I did not realize Seaga was such a legendary leader. As a fellow Jamaican, I salute the late former Prime Minister of Jamaica, the Honourable Mr. Edward Seaga. Rest in Peace ✌️ 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

    Eddie Seaga the man. His memories live on in our hearts and minds. He change "Back o Wall" into Tivoli Gardens which now should be renamed "Eddie Seaga gardens."

    What comes to my mind when I think of the former Prime Minister of Jamaica The Most Honourable Edward Seaga ON PC, is that historic moment of The One Love Peace Concert held on 22 April 1978 at the outdoor National Stadium in Kingston, Jamaica. This concert was held during a political civil war in Jamaica between two opposing parties Jamaica Labour Party and the People's National Party. Ironically the idea of the concert was from two of Jamaica's notorious Gangsters from rival groups, they wanted to stop the violence, Mr Claudius 'Claudie' Massop (JLP) and Mr Aston 'Bucky' Marshall (PNP), decided that the best way to bring the Jamaican people together was by using music as a uniting factor and organize a major proper peace concert. The concept was a good idea! It so happen that Bob Marley was living in exile in Great Britain in London when that concept was first spok, Massop and Marshall wanted Bob to perform at the concert because they knew that Bob was a very influential person and that most of the Jamaican people loved Bob Marley and they loved his music, Massop and Marshall knew that Bob was a critical element upon which their success depended on. Massop flew to London, to convince Bob to perform at the event. Marley accepted the invitation, he was fearless and he felt that he could return back to Jamaica, he also felt that it was part of his calling for him to do the concert. When Bob Marley went back to Jamaica he got a Hero's welcome. That concert was Marley's first performance in Jamaica since the "Smile Jamaica" Concert held 2 days after he was shot, he was shot in 1976, Bob was shot on the 3rd of December in 1976 and the Smile Jamaica concert was on 5th December 1976. The Smile Jamaica concert was a public concert organised by Michael Manley, Mr Manley wanted alleviate the violence by using the concert to bring unity and Peace to the Jamaican people. I and many people who live in Great places was told that the One Love Peace Concert was the idea of Reggae Ikon Bob Marley but it was not, for many years I did believe that it was Bob Marley who thought up the idea of that One Love Concert, I recently found out by a good Jamaican who told me that it was not Bob's idea, as I wrote earlier on I found out that it was two of Jamaica's baddest bad men idea, those men was infamous and was feared by many people in Jamaica and also feared by many people who live in other countries! Bob call for Peace for Jamaica during the concert. When Bob Marley and the Wailers' were performing the song "Jammin" during that performance of that song Bob spontaneously called on stage the politicians Mr Edward Seaga (JLP) and Mr Michael Manley (PNP) and Bob hold their hands together with his hand above his head as a sign of unity, the crowd was cheering as they saw the hands lifted up and hold up above Bob's head for a little while, he said a short prayer, the prayer was LOVE, PROSPERITY, BE WITH US ALL. JAH. RASTAFARI. SELASSIE! then the crowd started to cheer again, they were ecstatic! It was such a wonderful moment! It made headlines news in Great Britain, it was very big news in Great Britain and the Jamaican people who live in Great Britain was very proud of that historic moment! and even the Jamaican British people and other nationalities of black people who lived in Britain was also very proud of that very important part of Jamaican history that it would leave them talking about it in many years to come! I am not saying that the 5th Prime Minister of Jamaica was perfect, and most Prime Ministers are not perfect! not even the British ones! ( but being a Prime Minister is one of the hardest job in the world to do!) Papa Eddie has done a lot for the country of Jamaica and for the Jamaican people that no other Jamaican Prime Minister that has been elected into office has done! He was a brilliant leader, under his leadership while he lead the Jamaican government he had created so much opportunities for the Jamaica nation! He done so many good things to help Jamaica be a great country, in fact he made it the greatest country in the Caribbean! He was also a great humanitarian to the Jamaica people! Mr Edward Seaga will go down in history as th one of the best Prime Minister of Jamaica! Edward Seaga died on his 89th birthday on 28 May 2019 and a birthday party was held in tribute to him even though he had passed on, the party was held to celebrate the life of the late Prime Minister, the current Prime Minister of Jamaica Andrew Holness was at the party and other dignitaries and lots of other people. My condolences goes out to Mr Edward Seaga family, friends and fans, I will be praying for them in this very sad time of bereavement. Don Seaga lived a eventful long life. Prime Minister Seaga has left behind a great legacy and his legacy will go on long in Jamaica! Edward has done what The Most High God had created him to do and now that his journey has finished may his soul rest in perfect peace. Rest In Peace Sir Edward Phillip George Seaga! WELL DONE 🇯🇲
