IS THE FIJI LAND SAFE?

We Fijians (Kai Viti) have always look to the land as the very source of our being. We were made out of the dust of the ground, and God, in his infinite wisdom have placed us in Fiji for his heavenly purpose.

From Colonial days to Independence, the lands, so we are made to believe is safe in our hands throught the adminstration of the NLTB.

But in this trying time, where the country has no Constitution and no law; and the illegal regime is on the path to change the land law; can we still say that the Fijian lands are safe?
Please voice your opinion.

Eda via vakabauta kece ni cici vinaka tiko na NLTB, ni maroroya vinaka tiko na noda qele. Ia na veika eda rogoca e sega ni vaka kina. They are working under a dictatorial government, which means that they are only puppets at the whims of the puppeteer.

Wilika tale mada nai vola nei Queen B e cake, ka vakaraitaka tiko kina na yali ni "file' ni nodratou qele. E rawa vakacava ni da vakabauta na "press release" mai na NLTB, ke sega tiko mada ga ni maroroya rawa na file ni qele?

Au vakabauta ni o ni sega ni siqema rawa na "motives behind the land reform." E kena i naki me na lisitaka na vei qele oqori na vei kabani mai vanua tani (China), ka na mai vakadabeca e Viti na "Ethanol factory" ka sa kauta tiko mai o SIR JAMES AH KOY!

Most of the land owners will be left out in the cold when this ethanol train takes off! Remember my warnings, and always be reminded by it when this reality comes to pass.

Vilisi, vinaka vakalevu na tu vakatagane, ena nomuni vakaraitaka mai na dina . Sa noqu masu me levu mai na TAGANE vakataki kemuni mai Viti ena gauna dredre eda donuya tiko.

Au siqema na veivakaduidutaki kei na "manuki" ena nomuni tago ni vosa, " E sega ni dau soli vakarawarawa se vakaveitalia na neimami qele na vaqele."

Na veivosaki ka caka tiko oqo e baleti kemuni tiko nai taukei ni qele ka na rawa ni kati kemuni na "Land Reform" ka sa "decree" taka na matanitu veiliutaki ni mataivalu!

Au diva me dina na nomuni vosa. Eda vakaqele kece na kai Viti. Eso ga e levu ka so e lalai.

Au kai Lau...ka'u vakabauta ni kevaka me a yanuyanu lelevu cake na neimami yanuyani, ke duatani sara nai rairai kei Viti e dai!

But I guess we play with the cards we are dealt with, with the best of the knowledge we have!

Take care. We are all in the same boat; KAIVITI!; ▶ Reply to This

Au vakavinavinaka vakalevu ena nomuni vakamacala ka koto e cake. Na veivosaki ena ulutaga 'qo e baleta tiko na vakayagataki kei na lisitaki ni qele ni taukei, baleta tiko na "Land Reform" ka sa mai caka.

Au vakabauta ni o ni sa sauma na taro ni "kemuni sa vakavinavinaka nai taukei ni qele ena yasayasa vaka-ra ni sa mai yaco na veisau ena vuku ni "Land Reform."

Na vo ni nomuni vakamacala me baleta na bula vakavanua kei na noda i votavota e solia vei keda na noda Kalou e curu uciwai, ka sega ni i vakaraitaki ni titobu ni kila, kei na rai ki liu.

E sega ni dua e veibataka tiko na noda dui vanua (qele) sa vota vei keda na Kalou. Na ka au tukuna tiko me vakasamataki vakavinaka na kena vakayagataki ( me nanumi tiko ni qele ni taukei e sega ni nodra na bula, era vakayagataka ka taqomaka tiko vei ira na nodra kawa era muri mai), me kakua ni oso-oso tu na qele (leased) ena gauna e sa via vakayagataka kina o ira na lewe ni mataqali era sa tu vakarau me ra vakayagataka.

Na bula vakavanua, ka kena usutu na nodra vakaliuci na noda turaga sa kasivita, mica, vorolaka, caqelaka, vosacataka ka vakavelavelataka o Bainimarama ena nona sogota na Bose Levu Vakaturaga; ka cemuri ira me ra "lai gunu home-brew" e vei maqomaqo! E vei se cava era sa cakava tiko na noda turaga ena gauna 'qo me vakaukauwataki kina na i vakarau vakavanua, se vakaturaga o ni tukuna tiko mai? O ira na turaga era sa lokibui talega vakataki kemuni na tovaki Bainimarama, ka na sega ni kurabuitaki na nomunin sa tu vakarau mo ni vaka "Io saka" me volitaki na noda vanua vei ira na tani! A sa volitaki oti ko Viti ki Peritania - me saumi kina na dinau vei ira na kai Mereke, ena gauna i Cakobau. Ena volitaki tale vei ira na kai Jaina se kai Idia ke vakamuri tiko nai qaiqai e cici tiko 'qo- 'oya na noqu nanuma, ka'u vakabauta ni na yaco me ka dina!

Me'u na tinia na vola lekaleka 'qo. Na yasayasa vaka-ra e sega ni o Viti, but a part of Fiji. While it remains so, the land laws that covers the yasayasa vaka-ra also cover other parts of Fiji! When we talk of fiji, it does not only cover a few provinces but the whole!

It is the present generation that will decide the future of the next. If the leaders have no vision the people will perish, because they cannot look pass their noses!; ▶ Reply to This

You said that Fiji is a safe country; I agree but only if you go along with the dictatorial government now in power. I don't believe that I will enjoy Fiji now - knowing that the country is run by unprincipled gangs of loosers whose biggest enemies are themselves and those who disagree with their illegal government.

I happen to love my freedom; my liberty under the constituted laws of the land; I also love my country and God when unhinded by dictatorial self made usurper,masquerading as "saver of the people."

You cannot compare Fiji with the United States of America because Fiji is a Dictatorship, but America is Democractic. America is not safe for loosers, those who hate freedom, law and order, and prosperity! You should know because you are enjoying the fruits of it's freedom!

Fiji WAS peaceful and friendly (how long have you been away?) but it has changed, and the biggest change are the people. When people are suspecious of each other, not knowing who is friend or foe, it is not the Fiji that I once love. I will still love the people of course, but not what their environments is molding them to be.

Fiji is doomed to become the pauper of the pacific.

Permalink Reply by Samuela Tawakilai on February 8, 2010 at 10:02pm: Filipe Kaicoco, you stated in your last blog that the American "fear for their lives." I believe there are very good reasons for that.

America is a land of freedom and plenty, and there are propensity for them to act in ways that are distateful to some people from other parts of the world who don't understand them. But mostly they are loverly people, because most of their values are Biblical founded- Christian foundation.

Because they are good, bad people hate them. America is obligated in these last days to fund most of the programs in spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world (Ministers from different denominations in Fiji will testify to that fact!). When that obligation is over, America will be defeated in a soon coming war, and when that happens, those who are bad-mouthing America now will come to realize that they were fools to degrade a country whose mission were only to help!

The struggle to survive is a sad reality. Things are not looking aby better in the Land of the Opressed where freedoms are removed! You know how we Fijians roll, we can put up the facade and the mask of 'making it' when we are really 'hating it'...; ▶ Reply to This
