God is going to get you

So you ripped the grill, the bumper, and the lights of my Cube. A car that I made great sacrifices to purchase.

The Queen on $500 note?

I am delighted that Sir Arthur’s image will adorn our one hundred dollar currency note, but wondering why we have never taken that next little step and issued a Five Hundred Dollar note.

Colina and Indigo the same?

Re: The Insurance Act 2005 and Colina Insurance/ Indigo Insurance

Heroes of Zimbabwe

It is a pity that Zimbabweans said that they are celebrating Zimbabwe heroes and defence forces days recently.

Papers, please

PLP plays politics with lives

The PLP is playing politics with people’s lives.

Pandemic trauma

Since the turn of the century, warnings have been given about the powerful effects of virus and influenzas. Such diseases have killed billions throughout human history. Black Plague, Spanish Influenza to name a few you may recognise. Various Governments have not ignored their powerful destructiveness, and established agencies to study, catalogue and research these viruses and their cures. Much has been done to understand these powerful predators and governmental responses have saved the lives of many in the past.

A lot still separates political parties

On the very same day last week that Arthur Hanna, the lead architect of Bahamianisation, slipped into history, I had the dubious honour of meeting one of the Free National Movement’s batch of candidates for the upcoming election.

To vaccinate or not to vaccinate...

Vitriolic debates, some of which degenerate into insults and name calling, rage on social media with respect to covid 19 vaccine hesitancy and rejection.

COVID gap between rich and poor

Farewell to a happy warrior

AD Hanna had a unique way of communicating as much by what he didn’t say as by his actual well-chosen words.

Minnis and the church

The August 3 Nassau Guardian front page caption “Killer convention?” was a major source of conviction, sadness and embarrassment for this writer, as an evangelical Christian who loves the church, the mystical body of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Bring back Dr Sands as Health Minister

It is now clear that the Minnis administration has no real plan based on science to combat and reduce the surging rates of infection and possibly deaths. Whatever plans it has it would appear to be based on politics and not science. The Emergency Powers Act confers almost dictatorial powers within the hands of the Competent Authority, who has emerged as Dr Minnis and not the collective cabinet, at least that is the optics. With elections being just around the corner political considerations are first and foremost.

One Bahamas

My heart, mind and prayers with the Bahamian people and the Bahamas dealing with challenging times COVID-19, ecomomic hardship and division among Bahamians. It is my prayer, hope and vision for A One Bahamas, a Bahamas where there would be no dishonesty, but trust.

COVID demagogues

I have read and taken note of the PLP’s press release of 28 July, 2021 – addressing their official opposition position on COVID-19 in The Bahamas.
