Our tangled relations with the US
In the almost 70 years since Sir Stafford Sands revitalised the Development Board (now the Ministry of Tourism), this country has spent well over $2bn dollars educating the world about our touristic charms.
Osadebay was light in legal world
I remember Emmanuel Osadebay well now. He was a stern disciplinarian; he was the kind when he stamped you said “how high”. He was a real disciplinarian.
Are we truly transparent?
I suggest we admire the comment of the Prime Minister that his administration stands for accountability – transparency and is totally against corruption.
Idle talk in wake of Dorian
When creativity goes beyond being creative to being stupid - Talk Shows, especially those that have a call-in part daily, add entertainment to sometimes the simple boredom of the Show.

Rest in peace Donut AKA Fats

Thank you for Chippie honour
I just want to say that I truly enjoy your Tribune Weekend section and applaud the writers, editors and photographers for the incredible work they do on a consistent basis. The magazine has become a weekly must-read for so many people, myself included.
Inadequacy of the GDP measure
Throughout the world the Gross Domestic product of a country is used as the most important indicator of a country’s economic progress.

Minnis can go it alone
It is amazing and a spectacle of no small order to see and witness two of our former, and I stress the adjective, former, Prime Ministers seeking to publicly “upstage” the Most Honourable Prime Minister relative to their bogus attempts to inject themselves into matters of public policy in the aftermath of Dorian.
A source of hope

A monster of a lesson
Bahamians got a first-hand lesson in the urgency of global warming in the form of a monster hurricane named Dorian.
Honouring Jennie Smith
On Sunday, September 8, I am deeply sadden by the passing of my mother Jennie Smith, but I do know God has a place for her in Heaven. My mother was the pillar and foundation of our family with 12 kids – eleven boys and one girl. Their names are Tino, Roberto Romano Dino, Larry, Barry, Cyril, Erskine, Ambrose Richard and the only daughter, Jackie. With many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Attention seeking by former PMs
IT was so, so sad to see the two former Prime Ministers on TV Wednesday night. Both are retired and in their 70s.
