Ena gauna sara mada ga qo, ena vuku ni veika sa mai vakayacora na matanitu me baleta na BLV, na ulu ni veika ka vauci keda vata tu ena noda i vakarau vakavanua, tovo vakavanua kei na veika eda dau vakasasamenitaka tu va kawa i taukei, sa mai tagutuvi. Eda sa vaka e dua na toa ka sa musu na domona qai biu me veiciciyaki voli. Na noda i tovo Vakaviti e tiko ga na kena kaukauwa kei na kenai vakadei vei ira na noda turaga ni vanua.

Eda se sega tiko ni se taura rawa (ena gauna qo) na kena titobu kei na kena bibi ni "veivakalolomataki" vei keda na kawa i taukei na veika sa yaco qo.

The integrity of the Fijian tradition and culture has now being compromised and reduced to nothing more than just lip service. It will die a slow death and disappear for good..... BUT WAIT... all is not lost JUST YET!!

O keda na lewe ni vanua (taukei) e tiko vei keda na kaukauwa. Kevaka e mani veisau na matanitu, se veisau na veiliutaki ..... ena rawa nida na vakacokotaka tale na veika sa mai basuraki qo. Meda kua ni yalolailai nai taukei. Kevaka eda lotu Vakarisito se sega, as long as the Fijian blood runs in our veins, the Fijian institutions that has now been abolished by law, will continue to be part of our everyday lives.

The BLV will be resurrected, if not today, then it will be tomorrow.

GOD BLESS FIJI.

Bainimarama is an uneducated fool thats why he does not understand what hes doing..There is no point in mentioning the british as they were doing a very big favour for the fijians in establishing the GCC.

The GCC has a similar story as the King Of Maori ..Have a look at the year the GCC was established ..1876...Now have a look at the time the Maori King was established which is in 1850..It was 20 years later then the GCC was established but the role was similar .The British learned their lesson after their experience in New Zealand with the land and wealth distibution with the Maoris owning a very tiny percentage of their own land..This resulted in the Maori chiefs marching down in unified battle and massacared the british really badly that led to the u turns in many things by the british .

Maori King History.(wikipedia)

The Māori King Movement or Kīngitanga is a movement that arose among some of theMāori tribes of New Zealand in the central North Island in the 1850s, to establish a role similar in status to that of the monarch of the colonising people, the British, as a way of halting the alienation of Māori land.

The position of Māori monarch was constituted in 1858 by chiefs (rangatira) from many tribes, predominantly in the central North Island.^[1] Since the 1850s the role has been vested in theTainui tribe (iwi) who pledged through the first Māori king, Pōtatau Te Wherowhero, to guard the position.^[2] The current Māori monarch, Tuheitia Paki was elected in 2006.^[3] His official residence is Tūrongo House at Tūrangawaewae marae in the town of Ngaruawahia.

History of the GCC

The Council was established in 1876 under the governorship of Sir Arthur Gordon. The decision was taken following consultations with chiefs, who advised Sir Arthur on how best to govern the colony's indigenous population. In the words of anthropologist Robert Norton, it "embodied the privileged relationship of trust and protection established between the Fijians and the British".

The british then replicated that maori idea in Fiji by the establishment of the GCC .In my view it is very sad .Fijian generation in the hundreds of years to come will be lost and confused .This is why is very important to understand our history profoundly  .

Vinaka Tabua, totoka dina nai lalakai qoka; to be frank and honest with you, this is one of my greatest fear. O ira na turaga ni noda veiyasana era tu qo, erawa nira vakatoboicutaka na Military Govt e cici tiko nikua. Na Kaukauwa e tiko vei-ira na Turaga is an untapped power. Baleta nira na Vosa ga kama yavu na veivale ni matanitu, mai vei ira na wekada kara tu mai na noda veikorokoro ka ra rokova tu na lewa vakavanua, qai kena i lotua ni vuqa era sega sara tuga ni lotu vinaka sara.

E vinaka cake na ka era cakava na Maori vei ira na kai Peritania, io qo ena vakavuna tale na valu ni Matanitu kei na vanua. Sa noqu masu tiko nina sega ni yaco me vaka kina.
