ST. MARY'S GOAN SODALITY-DUBAI: THE SPINELESS APOLOGY & ARROGANCE by N. Fernandes, London

Many readers and commentators would have recently read and heard about the disgraceful actions and functioning of St.Mary’s Goan Sodality, Located in Dubai. For whatever intent and purpose, only known to its secretive Management, this organisation uses the Religious banner St Mary’s, uses the word Sodality which is to indicate it is a Church body and finally “Goan”.

Having read the views of several commentators and following further research into this organisation I am in a position to tell you more about them.

This came about following the plight of a poor Goan boy Jackson Coutinho, who was sadly taken seriously ill just a few days after his arrival in Dubai from Goa. Very sadly he has now passed away.

You may also recall that the Parish Priest Fr. Freddy was away on holiday. The Executive members of this Sodality, organised a fund raising appeal .The appeal was published in Newspapers in the Middle East, and picked – up by mainstream Newspapers and its regional Satellite Newspapers / Journals in India, Goa and The U.K. The article was written by Mr Praveen Viegas.

Praveen Viegas, as many Goans will know by now, is alleged to be the ex-mouthpiece of Mr Churchill Alemao`s, one of Goa`s biggest daylight thief.

Strangely, and definitely very suspiciously, no appeal was made through the St Marys Sodality`s Website, until their motives were questioned and exposed by Niz_Goenkar and other Journals. On the 5th October an article did appear on their website…but only requesting “Prayers”. The request for money was absent. Why? This appeal for funds was to be collected in the name of SMGS and not in the name of private individuals. I have heard the word LOGISTICS mentioned, but never LOGIC

Telephones Nos. were also published for the appeal. These belonged to Maria and Navita.

These 2 ladies perhaps thought they were going to become Saintly Samaritans and “Angels of Mercy”. However with hindsight, they discovered that their corrupt menfolk led them astray and brought them shame & disrepute. In their ever growing despair and fear of loss of their reputations, they brought in a notorious and foul mouthed loudmouth called Judy Viegas. Judy`s fiery reputation and “Steam Roller” attitude and arrogance, and belief that she is a very superior Goan Lady soon backfired on her, that she resorted to making an apology on Niz-Goenkar Blogsite. Her apology was as empty, as an empty vessel that is proverbially known to make only loud noises.

Cajetan Coelho, finally and after much back room discussion amongst his henchmen, made a brief and half-hearted apology.

However many would have thought the matter ended there. Oh No!!

I am now in a position to tell readers of Niz-GOENKAR that the original apology was written by another beefcake monster of St Mary’s Sodality called Jude Pereira .The email sent to Niz-Goenkar with the 2-3 sentence apology, was sent via Jude Pereira’s email on behalf of Cajetan Coelho. From this I can only surmise that Cajetan is unable to write or is semi-literate. His long silence would also indicate some literary handicap.

This guy called Jude Pereira fancies himself as some “BIG SHOT” or “Goan Sheikh”. He has acquired this arrogant attitude from his posting as the General Manager of an IT Solutions company called Nanjgel.

NANJGEL has its Head office in Belgium. I am sure they will be interested in the Character, extra-curricular activities and background of Jude Pereira, the cornered “RAT” and “SILLY BILLY” of SMGS.

This arrogant “numpty” Jude Pereira, is under the belief that he has substantial and” ALMIGHTY” powers to close down the Niz- Goenkar website. He has made threats to some of our staunch Niz Goenkar supporters and team members and  believes that we will succumb to him. Perhaps he has got his thinking from Digamber Kamat who believes he can shut down Facebook & Orkut.

This “Numpty” Jude Pereira, who is a resident of Miramar –Goa, must have also learnt some of his thuggery & Goondaism methods, from his confidante, neighbour and another fraudulent land grabbing thief of Goa, Babush Monseratte.

I hope Mr Jude Pereira knows the difference between a “WEBSITE” and a “BLOGSITE”. I now challenge this numpty Mr Jude Pereira to sue me for “Libel”. He should put his money where his mouth is and prove his almightiness.

My Lawyers and the Queens Counsel, along with the ROYAL COURT OF JUSTICE (LONDON) await his move. He should now demonstrate his General Managerial competencies.

The Niz-Goenkar site is a UK based Blogsite and comes under the Jurisdiction of the UK Law courts. So I await Jude to sue me in the UK.

I hope Fr. Freddy, the Parish Priest has been made aware of the antics of these St Marys Goan Sodality Board Members and sympathisers .In my opinion this house of God that should embrace all Goans, has chosen to only serve a few and exclude the many .

In the UK, Canada and East Africa, Goans of every denomination are included in all functions. There is no bias applied.

So the ball is now in the Court of Mr. Jude Pereira. He has a right to respond to this comment/ opinion.

If he is unable to do so within a reasonable time period, he should get off his “High Horse” and get back down to earth.

We Goans and Niz-Goenkars are not his paid servants and we have no intention to be subersevient to him, we will not buckle under threats and will continue to treat his numptiness with disdain.

So, Mr. Jude Pereira, G.M Of Nanjgel in Dubai , I await your move, or just get out of making useless and empty threats.
