Meet Prince Hugh Thompson CEO<br />
<strong>GUZIGAR</strong> ENTERTAINMENT & MARKETING INC.<br />

Prince Hugh Thompson born in 1966 Marlie Hill , St. Catherine, Jamaica.<br />
His parents are Ivan Thompson and Valda Lewis . Prince was a prize child according to his Dad and Mr. Shaw, his<br />
Godfather. Both reminded him that he was celebrated from birth. Bus drivers would stop and everyone smoking<br />
herb, drinking, reasoning having a great time,<br />
When I heard these things were happening I realized , that if as a child you're celebrated at birth, it meant that you<br />
definitely were destined to be a celebrity.<br />
I found out more and more that I was born to entertain after Entertaining for a while. I want to know more about<br />
the fundamentals behind the scene, based on listening to Beres Hammond, Denis Brown, Culture, Joseph Hill, and a<br />
whole lot more artists, the producers are robbing the artist’s revenue so I was more interested in learning about<br />
public relations and marketing and promotions and all that.<br />
After practicing these traits I realized media is a great part of the circle, so I went into Radio so I could play my own<br />
music, if the dee jays refused to play them. And that felt good. Then I ventured into acting. I was in the Movie<br />
“SCAM” starring Christopher Walken and Loraine Bracco.<br />
By then Christopher Walken taught me how to conduct myself on a movie set. While on the set. I got a speaking<br />
role but it was stripped from me for the strangest reason. The director wanted the baby to do a few more takes at<br />
the airport scene, based on the fact that I was also the senior casting partner with Mr. Hart who later didn't recognize<br />
my work, after I gathered about 150 mostly white people including the baby Annabella. The father of the child<br />
didn't want to stay a another minute cause the time that the Director asked for was expired and the father wanted<br />
to go. Now he wanted me to persuade the baby dad to stay one more hour. The guy insisted he was not staying not<br />
even for one more minute. For the first time I realized I couldn't make this persuasion, which was unheard of . I can<br />
convince an eskimo to buy snow in the winter.<br />
So the director cut my speaking role. my second movie break was “TOP SHOTTAS” starring Kymani Marley & Lenard<br />
“Louis” Ford aka Axe, Teddy Bruckshut , Louie Ranking was my real good friend. Spragger Benz, Wycliff Jean<br />
Paul Campbell. Only this time I’m a member of the CAST not a cast coordinator LOL, the Director was black and<br />
better yet seemed to be a Rastaman Mr. Cess Silveira so I<br />
came to the realization again say I can do this it feels<br />
good. I started writing my first movie script on the set .<br />
By the time we finished shooting in Miami I had completed<br />
the script.<br />
I had so many interesting stories to tell, so I'm going to<br />
tell them in my way..<br />
So I'm currently directing my first debut film as a Director<br />
and Star along with Henry Joseph and many more<br />
in the cast ..<br />

Since I love history I started a magazine named B.O.B. Magazine initiated from the notion that there will be a<br />

What is it that white people want from us? We try to build our own society striving trading and staying welfare free, hoping they could see<br />
of the African people, that they called Blacks. Decided to misjudge our standards and values, basically tried to belittle our integrity and our<br />
makers of the City of TULSA, and invade us with bombs from the air and foot soldiers destroying churches, clergy men, kindergarten,<br />
judges, lawyers, hospital doctors, nurses, clerks, technicians, teachers, mechanics, police officers, a whole municipality, markets, barbersho<br />
fire stations, news paper company, radio stations ,animals (cats, dogs, pets ) everything looks like a war zone, even our veterans who came<br />
soil. was ever charged for this horrible & heinous crimes against humanity. In fact the organization who did it is still alive and<br />

Kapri a rapper born in Pompano Beach Florida to Haitian immigrants entered the scene as Kodak Black.<br />
to become a free man.<br />
A new hairstyle and a fiancée are also a result of<br />
the new lifestyle for the rapper. His past and present<br />
trouble with the law had it's origin in the<br />
neighborhood he grew up in. His ambition for rap<br />
started all the way in Elementary school and he fed<br />
his passion for words through studying. Early on he<br />
started using the name Black being recognized by<br />
his fans this way.<br />
Brutal Youngnz and Koylons where groups during<br />
his initial rap projects. A boost to his notoriety was<br />
given by Canadian rapper Drake. In October 2015<br />
he became part of the Atlantic Records label.<br />
In sheer contrast to Kodak Black's many unlawful<br />
activities he showed a streak of humanity by generously<br />
donating to various education projects. He<br />
also gave money to survivors of shooting victims<br />
and most prominently allowed financially Paige<br />
Cook to donate pencils to under privileged kids and<br />
set up a $10,000 scholarship for aspiring potential<br />

In 1978 he played the international<br />
superstar Sam Cook,<br />
where he pretended that<br />
these white boys were his<br />

who found it necessary to<br />
highlight the struggle under<br />
police brutality to Hollywood<br />
disenfranchisement of African<br />
American performers of the<br />

He has never been afraid to<br />
voice his opinion on these<br />

His Excellency ,The RT. Hon Neville Oriley<br />
Livingston OM. CD. OJ. OW. He left a huge<br />
void in our lives that cannot be filled. He was<br />
a man who lived his life on the Basic Principles<br />
of Rastafari. The most charitable heart<br />
of a human being and exceptionally humble.<br />
He was a man who would cook and bring<br />
you the food like he was the servant when<br />
you went to his home .<br />
One day B.O.B. Magazine visited 10 Darley<br />
Crescent only to discover Jah B was doing a<br />
dub plate for a sound system. While he was<br />
completing it, a little boy from the garrison<br />
walked in with his dad. The dad told Jah B<br />
that his son needed books for school. He<br />
didn’t know what to do. His spirit told him to<br />
go see the Don Dadda. Jah B asked him how<br />
much he needed ? The little boy answered<br />
and said $16,000 JMD.<br />
The person who purchased the dubplate had<br />
paid just Jah B the exact amount of $16,000<br />
JMD prior to the kid walking up.<br />
Jah B gave the dad the $ 16, 000 JMD and<br />
told him to go and get his kid the books.<br />
In another incident I gave him a booking for<br />
a show at the Roots Bamboo which I founded<br />
as Wednesday night live Reggae Beach<br />
Splash. I saw him with a Royalty Check for<br />
$ 430,000 USD he had received from Simply<br />
Red Cover of Love Fire. He cashed the check<br />
at his Chinese friend’s supermarket. He gave<br />
me $5000 JMD. Then he drove around the<br />
Neighboring Garrison and give it all away.<br />
When he returned to Darley HQ Jah B had<br />
$28, 000 JMD in his Lexus 300.<br />
I think whole heartedly that he always was a<br />
gentleman. Because of him the Police of Jamaica<br />
have eased the pressure on Rastafari<br />
in Jamaica . R.I. Power Jah B<br />
You will always be with us in true Spirit .<br />

“As Jamaica joins Africa in celebrating and recognizing Africa Day <strong>2021</strong>, Prime Minister Andrew Holness states that<br />
there are significant opportunities for lucrative trade, investment and tourism links between Africa and the Caribbean.<br />
The Prime Minister says connectivity is the greatest link between the region and Africa. In his remarks during the<br />
Africa Day webinar Prime Minister Holness highlighted major bi-lateral agreements signed between the Republic<br />
of South Africa and Jamaica.<br />
Agreements signed so far include direct flights from Nigeria to Kingston; additional flights are being discussed.<br />
The vision is to create “a more powerful engagement and exchange of a range of goods and services between the<br />
Continent and its Sixth Region.”<br />
Additionally the Government of Jamaica recently appointed its first Ambassadors/Special Envoys for Investment to<br />
Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa and Togo. Prime Minister Holness said the Government has been actively pursuing<br />
trade and investment routes that support business opportunities.<br />
“We are preparing to unleash new strategies for travel, trade and investment anchored in the will of our people to<br />
unite. There is the need for Government policies and intergovernmental arrangements to facilitate contacts between<br />
our countries to form even higher levels of trade and investment with economic returns to our people. This<br />
will require us to define the goods and services for which we are globally competitive, and redirect our investment<br />
and trade arrangements to include Africa and its Diaspora,” said Prime Minister Holness.<br />
In the meantime the Prime Minister said the country is on a path to promote itself as a hub for trade relations and<br />
investment arrangements between Africa, the Caribbean and the Americas. He noted that activating the African<br />
Diaspora of the Caribbean and the Americas as the sixth Region of the African Union is therefore imperative .”<br />

Andrew Michael Holness, ON PC is a Jamaican politician, who has been the Prime Minister of Jamaica since March 3rd, 2016 after the Jamai<br />
I believe if we see or know something that the P.M. has done we shouldn't be disrespectful in anyways. We shouldn't allow to denigrate th<br />
your concern in matters that concern you and other disgruntled citizens who share the same opinion. The other day a gentleman, a “pastor”<br />
by closing down big gatherings that relate to Covid 19 . The Pastor was not preaching the gospel of Christ, when he was calling on the PM to<br />
Christ Jesus raised the dead and never to kill anyone. And even when they crucified him his last words on the cross were “Forgive them Lo<br />
same reason which he died for. The most high sake he has risen. We are out fighting the evil spell for a man of color to sit in Jamaica House<br />
respect and love to the other 5% who don’t look like him. Based on common sense the P.M’s middle name is Michael. He was born in 1972<br />
for a kid that grew up in the Spanishtown. As kids we had to survive poison flower, we had to survive political division, we survived Weebl<br />
this was happening.<br />
36
can general election. Holness previously served as prime minister from October 2011 to May 29th and currently still is P.M.<br />
e office of the Prime Minister. A proper dialogue with the authorities in forms of peaceful demonstrations or a community letter and voice<br />
and we all know to respect our pastors, was so upset about the PM. Taking drastic measures in keeping the Jamaican people safe,<br />
die. He actually was taking a page out of the devil’s play book.<br />
rd, for they know not what they have done”. Right there and then Christ acknowledged the ignorance in humanity that he was here for the<br />
regardless if PNP or JLP. A man of color or a woman of color should represent the 95% of people that look like him and show the same<br />
when PNP Michael Manley was the Prime Minister. His parents must have had the vision that the JLP need a Michael too. Look at him now,<br />
y flower, we survived married grocery. We had the worst water crisis in the land of wood and water. Andrew was a kid like myself when all<br />
Andrew made a deal with China<br />
about the cockpit country.<br />
We must always remember that most<br />
of that land belongs to the Queen of<br />
England and she owns 33% of<br />
Jamaica. She still has a representative<br />
who works for her as the Governor<br />
General who she appoints. After the<br />
independence the power vested in<br />
the Prime Minister elected by the<br />
people to choose a queen’s servant .<br />
Jamaica needs more compassion for<br />
this position with the responsibility to<br />
keep Jamaica and its citizens safe and<br />
prosperous. His salary is<br />
$7.000,000.00 JMD annually .<br />
Now if we had a megaphone and a<br />
motorcade with just a little decorum .<br />
we could get his attention without<br />
wishing our little brother in High Chair<br />
to die. I personally rebuke that in the mighty name of Jah Rastafari. On the other hand we must do our own investigation and research<br />
in order to fully comprehend why certain transactions were made the way they were.<br />
If it does affect you, then be nice about it. Have the church forum invite the media and other clergy members, he will get the<br />
message. There is absolutely no need for an extreme threat and death wish on our legally elected leader. This is not the stone<br />
Age. We must look deep in ourselves and become a better version and make our presentation and recommendations and allow<br />
the PM to address our issue in due season. He is a busy man, so you need to give time to address it.<br />
My opinion on the cockpit country is that the Jamaican Labor Party (JLP) under the leader name Sir Bustamante sold out our<br />
bauxite for a shilling per ton at that time.<br />
The only good thing about that deal was, that they didn’t have permission to mine the stones. Jamaica produces the best Pink<br />
Marble. The Quartz is used in Chinese and Japanese Quartz Watches. Jamaican scientists and universities do the research on the<br />
land for its ecological values. B.O.B. Magazine Prince H. Thompson<br />

Michael Jeffrey Jordan, also known by his initials MJ, is an American International businessman and former<br />
professional basketball player. He is the principal owner and chairman of the Charlotte Hornets of the National<br />
Basketball Association.<br />
“One day, you might look up and see me playing the game at 50. Don't laugh. Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often<br />
just an illusion.”<br />
“Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.”<br />
48
Michael Jordan is surely considered the greatest NBA player that ever played the game of all times. He is also<br />
the richest former professional athlete in the world with a net worth of $1.6 billion. In ten years this might turn<br />
into a $160 B. Either way we all have a pair or more of his shoes, only because they are very comfortable.<br />
And thy are Jordan's which goes' without say<br />
“There is no 'I' in team but there is in win.”<br />

After winning six rings with his team mate Scotty and Dennis and the others he finds it very easy to go fishing<br />

I know for sure what has been done in this wonderful game<br />
of basketball, that Michael Jordan is the greatest athlete of<br />
all times, but some say, LeBron is the greatest of all time<br />
Now in all fairness, LeBron may be greatest player of all<br />
times playing now but to say he is greater than Jordan, but<br />
personally I disagree.<br />
Michael Jordan won 6 Finals and had 6 Championship trophies<br />
23 means Blackman in Jamaican Lottery, meaning if you<br />
dream to see a Blackman, you would buy the number 23.<br />
As the black Jesus of basketball MJ never lost a finals and to<br />
me that is black excellence.<br />
LeBron James on the other hand played in 10 finals and<br />
won 4 championships.<br />
LeBron got the opportunity to be greater than Michael Jordan<br />
but did not capitalize on the jester.<br />
Based on Michael’s track record if he were given that same<br />
opportunity of 10 finals, Michael would have won 10 championships.<br />
If LeBron even got 6 rings after he retires, he still cannot<br />
compare himself to the G.O.A.T based on the statistics<br />
In all fairness, I can say the Blackman who wears the number<br />
23 will be the greatest of his generation of all times.<br />
Even if and I say if LeBron got 2 more rings he is still not<br />
greater than Jordan because he would have had to play 12<br />
finals to get 6 rings when Michael used only 6 finals to<br />
achieve 6 rings. If a player got the opportunity to reach the<br />
finals, especially when he is trying be greater than those<br />
before, you cant afford to loose a finals. If your name is on<br />
the lost finals list. Then you have right to compare yourself<br />
with Mr. Jordan.<br />
And For that B.O.B. Magazine declares Michael Jordan The<br />
Greatest of all time..<br />
