The power of the petro-dollar is not only a phenomenon in Middle Eastern states but it is also very real in southern regions of the Caribbean. On top of that, you have the social strength of these two nations, who might quite possibly have two of the largest Diaspora populations globally.

This is just but a slither of the offerings coming from these islands. Both islands can be said to be on par, if we were to use social and cultural references to ground this discussion.

But that would be unfair, as there are other factors where Trinidad will come up trumps over Jamaica and likewise Jamaica will come up flexing over Trinidad. And Barbados, where does she fit into this power play? A bastion of economic stability on the region, they will boast of their stable currency, low level of crime as compared to both Jamaica and Trinidad and low unemployment rates.

Jamaicans accuse Bajans of being obnoxious and condescending towards them. Can there be any truth to this? I have some very firm friends who are Jamaicans who without skipping a heartbeat, remind me at every turn of my small island status. What's new New posts New profile posts Latest activity.
