That's not enough. As good as she would be, the internecine parliamentary politics that we have in Fiji would eat her alive, and her lonely vote won't get much done, blunted by party politics

I need Judy Compain to stand as an independent candidate. We vote for her. She is the decider. And her only terms and agreements is to be Health Minister. That’s it ✅



When I was a 12 yr old kid, tabu sara ga na via mood swings. "Ah!?!?! Iko via mood swings tiko?!?!" "Sega Na, e sega....leu leu ouch." "Io, tovolea tale mo mood swings..." 😂😂😂😂

A 12yr old with mood swings is one thing, but a 12 year old with mood swings going through chicken pox ? Yeah I took the whole week off because we are on an emotional Rollercoaster right now 😌



Bera na education grants. Bera na civil service pay. You can bet your arse that parliamentarian pay is never late though... Never never ever late. Might even be early 😂😂😂

Bro, I'm in the PTA Committee for my kids primary school here in Suva and I can definitely confirm that Education Grants always arrive late. Term 1 grants usually arrive in mid to late Term 2. PTA has had to step in a few times to help out the school in paying the utilities, etc



One of my twins is proper and straighter than a ruler. The other one has this energy, in spades 💪❤️😈

“My son Oliver announced at dinner Tuesday night that he wanted to be a fart for Halloween and I literally choked on my water. He's six. Just sat there with spaghetti sauce on his chin, completely serious, saying "I want to be a big brown fart cloud." My husband looked at me like…

Everyone talking about corporal punishment. Nobody's talking about the example their lives set for said kids. Known as social theory learning, or observational learning, children learn behaviour, emotional regulation, values etc from adults around them than any other source.


Yes‼️‼️ Less [(whatever I don't want to see)]

To the degree that people are seeing improvements in their feed, it is not due to the actions of specific individuals changing heuristics, but rather increasing use of Grok and other AI tools. We will post the updated algorithm, including model weights, later this week. You…



For an average of $7.40/annum a hectare, the tenant and TLTB can go _______ You could get more asking your tavales. Nobody in their right mind would agree to this. It's why you never hear of any issues with hotel leases. Because they're willing to pay what it's actually worth.

mmmkay 😂😂 Critics (Tarai and Duturalo) have previously argued that TLTB (then NLTB) favored economic stability rather than empowering landowners. True. It is also true that “enrichment” was relative, and most Indo-Fijian farmers were still smallholders with modest incomes.

If only there was a way to block issues on Twitter the way we can block people. Some issues just take up the entire feed...fml

As a Palestinian who refuses to parrot our leadership’s lies, I have to say it bluntly: Telling Mizrahi Jews - Jews from Iraq, Yemen, Egypt, Morocco, Syria, and the rest of the Arab world, that they are doing “ethnic cleansing” to us is the gaslight of the century. Let’s start…


It's getting to the point where IMO, "influencers " need to show who they influence and how. Because so many claim to be one. Yeah, we see you with your 13 followers. And then there's those who influence people the other way. Opposite of what they intend.

If you’re an influencer for healthy diets for yrs at least have a healthy body irl. Was really disappointed when influencer was bigger than me😬 stop misleading the public too with that filter kerekere!

“Try it all before you die” is always drugs and homosexuality,never quantum physics


Not unique to Fiji, either. Every single nation has the same problem, with average weight increasing at the same time. Our foods have changed. Along with our lifestyles. Everywhere

Look at any photo of Fijians say before the year 2000 and see how many overweight people you see...like this random photo from the National Archives. It was rare to see really big gang...and now?

Provinces/Yasanas and Districts/Tikinas aren't Fijian, but colonial creations. The Fijian geopolitical unit is the Vanua. For which the best translation, both politically and linguistically, is Kingdom. And why yasanas or tikinas are never used in presentations, only vanua.

Mandela Effect: Guys am I wrong in thinking that Nadroga and Navosa formerly 2 different provinces were consolidated in to one province Nadroga-Navosa some years ago? Really feel like I remember reading that in the news.



Valetini looked right at home in that 10 jersey. Our flyhalf stocks are 🔥 atm.

one of the things i've learned about incredibly competent people is that they are incredibly competent at everything. it's either nothing or all. like, if someone is really good at one thing, they tend to be good at everything life is just unfair like that
