Absent values and fathers in the home
Amidst all the wordiness surrounding criminality and murder in this small country, I have awaited reasonable, sensible and wise reflection on the calamity that has befallen this nation.
Taxation destroying middle-class
In the Nassau Guardian article it is stated that in 50 percent of car accidents the Bahamian drivers are uninsured and do not have a car insurance.
We must stand together against violence
In the wake of an unsettling surge in violence within the first week of the new year, the Eta Psi Omega Chapter, Pi Upsilon Omega Chapter and Tau Nu Chapter (the Bahamas Chapters) of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. express profound concern and an unwavering commitment to address acts of violence displayed in our community.
Never mistake law for justice
It is my opinion that Commissioner of Police Clayton Fernander's criticisms of the courts of law granting bail to accused persons (males) are highly detrimental and intrusive as it relates to the role and duties of a Commissioner of Police of the Royal Bahamas Police Force by calling for yet another amendment to the Bail Act.
Crying wolf too often on crime?
I have postulated before and I will do so again, in saying, without fear of contradiction that crime, per se, is not out of control. Yes, it is to be readily admitted that the inordinate spike in alleged homicides is problematic, but most all other types of crimes and criminal offences are trending downwards. Mind you, any type of crime poses destabilising effects of the economy and national life but, I submit, the average Bahamian is apparently getting hysterical or worse.
We are our brother’s keeper
As Bahamians, we recently celebrated the big fifty (50) years as an Independent Nation. On July 10, 2023, thousands stood erect as a new day dawned upon these empheral shores. We have come a long way baby there is nothing we cannot achieve as a people academically there is nowhere we cannot go. We are just that versatile!
France should lead in helping Haiti, not The Bahamas and CARICOM
I read carefully the words of Prime Minister Philip "Brave" Davis at the 19th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement in Africa regarding the well-documented plight of Haiti.
Surprised and impressed by Michael Pintard
I would say I am a casual observer of Bahamian politics, but even I can’t deny that Pintard has really come into his own as a leader in our political landscape as of late.
Israel is deserving of our support
Now that Alicia Wallace has produced a long column on the grievances of Palestinians we shall look forward to another column on the problems which Israel has experienced for decades with hostile neighbours.
Boundaries for countries a necessity
As insidious as that Berlin Conference was, the establishment of clear and well defined boundaries then cannot be dismissed as simply an atrocity of history.
BPSU, treat members better
I write regarding the poor operations of The Bahamas Public Service Union. Where are the premiums and dues going? Why does one have to wait for eight months for a medical claim and more than three months for a death benefit?
Cocaine plane goes unnoticed
Around about 15th January this month, a video began circulating on Social Media about an aeroplane landing at Ohio State University airport with nearly 300 lbs of cocaine on board.
Chickens have come home to roost
Our country is running a high fever.
Centreville community deteriorating
Kindly allow me space in your column to express an opinion on the deterioration of the community of Centreville and the quality of some of the illegal migrants in the area, especially Mount Royal Avenue and its side corners and Mount Rose Avenue and its side corners.
Capital punishment for the poor
I see that lots of Bahamian politicians are putting their full support behind the resumption of capital punishment in The Bahamas; but capital punishment is Bahamian law already - and has been so for centuries, and the Privy Council rules according to the law! Silly season must be approaching.
