Rihanna: 'Barbados Prime Minister Was A Great Man'

Contactmusic News: "RIHANNA has paid tribute to Barbados' late Prime Minister DAVID THOMPSON, branding him 'irreplaceable'.
The singer wept at Thompson's funeral in her home country on Wednesday (03Nov10) as she bade an emotional farewell to the politician, who lost his year-long battle with cancer aged 48.
And she has been left devastated by the tragedy - especially as Thompson only took office in January 2008.
She tells Britain's The Sun, 'He was a really dear friend of mine. It just sucks he didn't have enough time to really show Barbados what he was made of and all that he could have done.
'Just to be with his family, his friends, people that love him... it felt like it was the worst person it could happen to. He was a great man, great for the country.
'He was great to everyone that he knew, there's not one person that hates or hated this man. He is irreplaceable... It was very upsetting.'"

One of the funniest stories is the one of the bearded fig tree and the name Los Barbados which was supposed to mean 'the bearded one'. In the words of Gary Cole from the book reflections; The Colonization of Barbados is one of the darkest events and evil stories of modern history.Four centuries ago,Spanish and Portuguese slavers started to kidnap,kill and drive out the thousands of peaceful Indians found on the island the Indians called Ichirouganaim.The exact location of the island was a carefully kept secret but Spanish and Portuguese soldiers and sailors knew the island as the barbarous island,"Los B
