Who Paul Clarke Think He is?
Who the ass does Paul Clarke think he is? I usually desist from cursing fellow entertainers but in Clarke’s case I must make an exception.When I think of Clarke I remember Gilbert Rowe’s statement made many years ago about entertainers having “delusions of grandeur”
Mr Boyce “Why would you be speaking of your Facebook friend Clarke in such an acerbic and contemptuous manner?” You might ask, allow me to expand…
Paul Clarke was one of the originators and owner of an event which is known as the Ragga Soca competition.
Paul had invested his money and staged several Ragga Soca competitions some years ago.
You are thinking, but that’s all laudable stuff Boyce why would you curse a man over that?
Here’s why….
Recently the National Cultural Foundation announced they were staging a Ragga Soca competition, least that’s why they called it at first.
Mr Paul Clarke had the audacity to approach NCF and inform them that he was actually the legal owner of the name “Ragga Soca” registered at Corporate Affairs and NCF was infringing on his rights.
He seemed to think that the NCF would have recognised his investment and contribution and would have paid some kind of compensation to utilize the name he registered.
He seemed to think that taking his “Ragga Soca” event experience into consideration NCF might have had him as a consultant.
Paul Clarke obviously mistook himself for a Trinidadian, he forgot he was a Bajan and therefore would not be eligible to any consultant status, compensation to use his event name or even recognition.
What the NCF did do is circumvent Clarke by changing the name of competition to “Sweet Soca” competition therefore stripping the Barbadian entrepreneur of his rights or any claim to the competition.
Serves Paul Clarke right, who the ass does he think he is any way? freaking idiot, Happy Birthday Paul Clarke from Boyce Voice..
P.S: N C F stands for “No Clarke Funding”

Peter, I like that one. This reminded me of an email I got just last night from one of my Face Book friends.
This guy left Barbados & went overseas to study law. He came back to Barbados & wanted to proove to the Bajans that he is Big Shot now, so he open a law office in Bridgetown. While sitting at his desk he spot a man coming towards the office. He pick de phone up real fast (knowing full well that he aint got nah juice yet from Lime) & start to pretend as if he was speaking to an overseas client. He bekon the man in the office & start talking LOUD & BIG bout million dollar settlement blah, blah, blah! He put de phone down, look at the guy & ask in a Big Shot voice “WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU”? The guy looked at him unimpressed & said. “I AM HERE FROM THE TELEPHONE COMPANY TO CONNECT YOUR LINE”.
Asssssssssssssssssssss!
Peter, that is what you would call “An Educated ASS”!

Things continue to be hard for Black PEOPLE AND FOR BLACK MEN IT IS even worse.
I was concerned about the way this matter was handled because it seems that there could have been some arrangement.
Maybe Paul’s timing was off. He probably should have waited until money was made and then pounce.
