Abject apology
I recently read in a newspaper (not The Tribune) an account of conditions in the storm shelter at the old Bahamas Academy gym.
Rebuilding in The Mudd
We can sympathise with the plight of Haitians evacuated from Abaco to temporary shelter in Nassau. It is painful for anyone, particularly single-parent families with no back- up resources, to be displaced from a long-time home, even if if it’s nothing more than a shanty without running water.
Keep church out of politics
Why can’t the Bahamas Christian Council keep the politicians out of church services?
Drug cartels
For a while, I’ve looked at crime trends and studied them closely to understand and learn how to fully combat these problems. We always had a gang problem and illegal arms dealing being the two biggest issues in crime.
Former PMs disappoint
I was watching the American news on September 11, 2019 and saw a face I’d not seen in a long time. It was Donald Rumsfeld. He was last Secretary of Defence under President George W Bush.
Rising of the Phoenix
I have long believed that had the Hon Philip ‘Brave’ Davis, MP, QC (PLP-Cat Island) been leader of the Progressive Liberal Party a year or so before the last general elections that he would have become Prime Minister and the PLP would have held onto the government.
Thank you
I can’t thank the people of Nassau enough. Delta Airlines sent a plane for us in Marsh Harbour.
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.
How many are we mourning?
CABINET Office has announced a National Mourning Service for those who died in Dorian for Wednesday evening at BFM - Carmichael.
Rest in peace Donut AKA Fats
Another violent act in the capital Nassau, Bahamas, has once again left another family in mourning. It has left another young man dead at the hands of vicious animals.
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. One shortcoming of GDP is that it uses activities that are detrimental to the longterm economy like over fishing, deforestation, strip mining, and murders. GDP inventor Simon Kuznets was adamant that his measure had nothing to do with well being.
