Bahamian traditions soon to end
AROUND 8pm on a rainy night in April some 60 years ago, sitting in the dining room of one Charlie Major, whom I regarded as the finest athlete in the history of The Bahamas.
Feeling the life of the disabled
AS a highly educated qualified legal professional to be discriminated against due to my paralysis by my chosen profession is not only perplexing but very disappointing and extremely hurtful.
What is real reason for Africa trips?
The press release concerning the joint press conference of Prime Minister Philip Brave Davis and Botswana President Dr Mokgweetsi Masisi on March 18, probably emailed to the local press by either a Bahamas Information Services (BIS) or Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) representative, was a tactical strategy.
Travel for the PM is crucial
With the traditional Easter Season upon us, as a professed Christian nation, I will be as neutral as possible. Many have asked why it is the Prime Minister and assorted delegations have been travelling the globe to meet with other Heads of State and governmental leaders. Some have even gone so far as to suggest that public funds are being wasted on such trips. I beg to differ.
We should be better than this
Many years ago when I was a student, I remember being very annoyed by a novel by Evelyn Waugh called “Black Mischief”. I was annoyed because I was of the opinion that the author used a fictional country to illustrate how he thought blacks misgoverned their countries.

Union chief a victim of intimidation
Never in the history of The Bahamas has a Prime Minister had a president of Government Union had his house searched for guns and drugs as a means and way to intimidating him, because the president of the BPL Union do not believe and trust the Prime Minister Philip Davis concerning the deal with foreigners at BPL that can cause hundreds of BPL government workers to be laid off.

Thoughts on law school’s legal lecture
WHAT cadre of legal minds assembled by the Eugene Dupuch’s Law School for its Distinguished Lecture Series yesterday with Justices in Dialogue, and for which it was very timely:
PM is well suited for finance role
IT WAS written by the revered Chinese sage and philosopher, Confucius in 500 BC that “the ruler of a country of a thousand chariots must give diligent attention to business; he must be sincere; he must be economical; he must love his people; and he must provide employment for his people at the proper seasons”.
The facts about Haiti
Haiti - Status: Republic - Area: 27,750 sq km or (10,714 sq miles). Population: roughly 12,500,000 (est).
Gangs in Haiti
Members of gangs are loyal to their clan and organisation often seen as a family. They will do anything for their family, no matter how brutal, fiendish and horrifying it may be.
Parents and children
I DO not claim to be a modern day sage, a living oracle, or an expert on anything, but if you are having problems with your child or children, then the problem is with you and not the child, because as a parent you have failed that child.
Call for immediate ceasefire
JOINING the voices of non-governmental organisations, feminist movements, and activists all over the world, Equality Bahamas calls for an immediate ceasefire and an end to the occupation of Palestine by Israel.
A solution for the Haiti dilemma
Little Inagua is a small remote island in the Bahamas and it is the largest uninhabited island in the Caribbean. It is 50 square miles (as big as New Providence) and only 100 miles from Haiti. 370 miles from Nassau, 553 miles from Miami and 16 miles from Greater Inagua.
