So what did the FNM rebels see?
Not so long ago the FNM displayed exactly what kind of prime minister we would get if self-imposed the highest Most Honourable Hubert Alexander Minnis was given the reigns of power.
Politicians amusing us
Statements from officials many times are the most amusing. Minister for National Security - people feel a lot safer now - hell yes, because we adjusted to the carnage of a year ago and still, believe me. Minister fear crime.
Tedious list of mistakes
According to this morning’s (Nov 5) dailies, Dr Minnis claims that his government’s decline in support over the last 18 months has been because of “mistakes’” made and a failure to get more positive messages across to the public. Nice try, but thinking Bahamians know better.
On a dismal trajectory
When I was a mere lad growing up is the settlement of West End, Grand Bahama, I used to hear older guys say that some Bahamian women would say “no” with their lips, but write “yes” in the dirt with their toes!
Downtown is a disgrace
A recent opinion piece by Diane Phillips “Oh for just a little bit of imagination” in The Tribune is so timely, and in many ways unwittingly responds to another article by John Issa, “A View From Afar” where he asks why can’t we lure more tourists off the cruise ships. And in many ways Diane Philips answers that question admirably.
Mighty dollar beats safety
Ministry of Health survey announcement….can the Minister explain why we are being asked to provide fingerprints as participation in the survey?
Four rebels, no real cause
It seems that in every parliamentary term at least one MP goes rogue and rejects the metaphorical paramour who invited him to the legislative dance.
It's time to restructure the Bahamas National Trust
In May 2018, I sent a long letter to the President, the new Council and the Director of Bahamas National Trust.
Why we all owe a debt to Roy Bowe
Please allow me a little space to pay tribute to a giant in the developing Bahamas. He was so much to all of us, but to me he was my hero!
Bathrooms need fixing – now
Recently, I came across a post circulating online in reference to Festival Place bathrooms near Prince George Wharf. It wasn't long before I had to go see for myself what all the ruckus was about. Seeing that I consider myself a die-hard Bahamian, I get a little sensitive about any bad publicity that could affect us – especially our tourism industry.
Shameful state at Okra Hill
How could Okra Hill Lodge, just off Shirley Street, be left in that state, and probably humans living in the building – without the police or Urban Renewal knowing?
Exuma Park: We deserve full disclosure
With great interest I read the October 30, letter regarding the apparent lack of transparency with the Exuma Park deal the Bahamas National Trust cut with Albany. I was travelling and missed the original story in September and the Trust’s “lacklustre” reply on October 11.
We must displace hatred with love and pray for a safer tomorrow
We are still shaken and deeply saddened from the appalling massacre in the Etz Chayim - Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA this past Saturday.
The police station on Potter’s Cay is a failure
Please allow me space in your column to pose the following public question to the Commissioner of the Royal Bahamas Police Force . . .
Question of Halloween
On Sunday past, I was asked my thoughts on whether Christians should celebrate Halloween. It is a great question, but it is one that Scripture does not speak to in a direct manner, as is the case with many issues that we as Christians have to think through. Therefore, in responding to the question asked on Sunday, my hope is that my approach can serve as a guide for how we should consider matters that Scripture does not specifically address.
