Pride and progress for Abaco?
It doesn’t take a village; it takes a country.
Govt must not sit down with leaders of gangs
It has often been said that ‘Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad’.
Junkanoo integrity in question
Kindly allow me space in your valuable columns to express an opinion as to why I believe the integrity of junkanoo is compromised.
Concerned with Mount Tabor pulpit
As I approach my 70th birthday this week, a milestone I greet with both gratitude and reflection, I find myself compelled to write to your publication for only the fifth time in my life. My words today are born not out of joy, but out of a deep sense of disappointment and concern for a community that has been an integral part of my life for over two decades – the Mount Tabor Church.
Time for govt to act on crime
I would like to say Happy New Year to every Bahamian across our archipelago and across the world. I hope that this letter reaches you all in good spirits.
Brave, true words at Lyford Cay
Having seen excerpts from the Prime Minister’s speech at Lyford Cay last week, I am left with the hope that we may finally have a government that understands the basic interests of The Bahamas and Bahamians for the first time since that of Lynden Pindling.
Pope is not follower of Jesus Christ
During the week of Christmas a prominent Baptist YouTuber uploaded a video on YouTube in which he criticised Pope Francis for a controversial and heretical statement made during his Christmas Day address at the Vatican.
Are we really the best little nation?
Over Christmas we heard again the saying ‘We, The Bahamas, is the best little country in the world’!
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it
Not even 24 hours into 2024 and all hope to improve the ease of doing business in the country has been shot.
2024 is the year of anticipation
Those of us who are reading this submission are blessed and highly favoured. We made it into a brand New Year. Had it not been for The Lord, many of us would not be here right now. Many of our fellow Bahamians have; by natural death; debilitating illness; suicide or a violent demise gone across the Jordan. Those of us who yet remain, have much to be thankful for and I daresay that we have great anticipations.
Failure to learn how we got here
I think that it was Wednesday of last week that a raft of Tax Amendments were analysed by BICA (Bahamas Institute of Chartered Accountants) from the Department of Inland Revenue. Changes from Real Property Tax increased penalties, to VAT updates, and on to Business Licence changes, and I could only think to myself “Do these people even have a clue how we (The Bahamas) got to where we are today”?
Start with licences
Traffic Lights — running ‘red’ light… How many accidents occur from that? Supt Lockhart RBPF or Road Traffic can’t ensure that 50% of the vehicles on the road are licenced and insured and you want to spend money on red light technology? Get basics working first, sir.
Impact of Junkanoo
To get some insight can National Junkanoo Committee confirm certain obvious questions.
Praises for ‘new day’ government
2023 was a game changing year and one of the literal resurrection of The Bahamas.
