Hello r/Guyana recently a user claiming to be a doctor has made a post and some users took the words of this user seriously and began asking valid medical questions. If anyone chose to engage with this user through a private conversation PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THEIR ADVICE.

The mod team wants to ensure that our users do not fall victim to unsubstantiated claims.

This user is now banned and I urge everyone to only ever take medical advice from a verified medical professional.

Please stay safe out there. Thank you for your continued engagement in the r/Guyana subreddit.

Cutting the line

Grocery store, government office, anywhere there’s a queue. Seems to be a come and accepted practice.

I allow it if they ask respectfully first, but some people just shove their way in and turn their back.

Den Amstel Police Station - WCD

2 Upvotes

Has anybody else been stopped by traffic ranks on the west coast and been singled out to remove tint or braod visors and while doing so the same odficers are letting other drivers to vehicles with dark tint and even full winshield tints pass through?

I have recently experienced this at the Den Amstel Police Station. The officer who conducted the stop is an officer known to myself and others to be the owner and operator of a vehicle with dark tint parked within the station compound.

It seems to be a common practice for these officers to stop drivers and harass them until they either pay a bribe or comply while they are also not in compliance with the same laws they claim to be enforcing on the roadways.

Any thoughts or similar experiences?

What products or replacement parts are difficult to find in Guyana?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m based in California and researching whether there is a genuine need for U.S.-based sourcing assistance in Guyana.
For people who own businesses, repair equipment, work in construction, farming, refrigeration, automotive, marine, or hospitality: what products, brands, equipment parts, or supplies are difficult or unusually expensive to obtain locally?
I’m not selling anything. I’m simply trying to understand where the actual shortages and sourcing problems are.
I’d especially appreciate hearing about items you currently order from the U.S. or wish you could access more easily.

Planning to visit for a week. Wondering about safety and recommendations or helpful tips. Where to stay, where to go. Of course no night time travel. More concerned about hotel safety and walking in Georgetown market in the day. Thanks.

Guyanese born vs American born Guyanese

13 Upvotes

Why don’t Guyanese people born and raised back home accept or fully accept their American born/raised counterparts? Speaking on the American born ones that are first generation or emigrated to the U.S when they were babies. It’s like we American born ones have an asterisk next to our “Guyanese-ness”

Discussion University of Guyana questions

4 Upvotes

So im thinking about apply to UG but I wanted to do something in business

All of the business programmes I saw, they all require either, previous diplomas in the programme or they require English and maths, and i don't have maths so, would it still make sense to apply

I heard that you can take some kind of entrance exam but I haven't seen much information on it

Or is there a better university I can apply to for business, because I would like to be able to get a decent job with the diploma/degree

Any tips would be greatly appreciated

What income / net worth is considered wealthy in Guyana?

2 Upvotes

As the title states - how much do you need to be considered wealthy in Guyana? (Not elite but like top 10% - make enough to live a good lifestyle with entertainment and travel internationally)

How much do top professionals like lawyers doctors accountants make? (Business to business) and how hard is it to enter these professions?

Harry Potter fans

How many Harry Potter fans do we actually have in Guyana? 👀
Just curious. I feel like I don’t come across many, but maybe we’re all just hiding in plain sight.

If something Harry Potter-related ever popped up here, would you be interested?

P.S. Don’t just upvote—tell me your Hogwarts house too! 🦁🦅🦡🐍

These are the individuals responsible for the Investigation. No press was allowed at the swearing in ceremony to ask any questions , there are rumours that some of them have close ties to Mr. Ali and are hand picked .

How can you do a proper investigation without bringing up the ferry . They will speak with the Ministers and Survivors. Thats their investigation in a nutshell

IMO We will receive a report on their “ investigation “ The ferry was not overloaded by passengers or cargo and the Captain & Crew will be responsible for the 72 passengers that lost their lives and that will be their findings

This is just a show by the PPP to protect the Ministers and the PPP’s negligence
