Worker’s plea for support
Good night Mr Greenslade, It is almost 11 at night and I cannot sleep because I am really bothered by the injustice that is going on in this country. I know you have a lot on your plate, and honestly, I don’t mean to add to it, but my head is being bombarded with thoughts, which prevented me from sleeping, so I decided to shoot you an email. Here is my situation. . .
Economic emancipation of The Bahamas
I hope one day our country can produce leaders who can inspire the minds of Bahamians and awaken their consciousness of its responsibility to the economic liberation of our country.
Too close for comfort
Your front page today, October 14, speaks volumes about our national depravity.
Building tertiary education
This month marks one year since I have been named President of The College of The Bahamas. I take this opportunity, though initiated by a recent article in one of the daily journals, as a teaching opportunity for the benefit of all; in particular, the future leaders of our country – our students.
Hurricane preparation
A copy of a letter dated August 29, 2011, which was hand delivered to NEMA and copied to the officials indicated. The contents are self-explanatory.
The God-fearing ways of Minnis
Re: MINNIS CALLED ‘IRRESPONSIBLE’ FOR ADDRESS TO PARLIAMENT
In defence of Galanis
I think any reasonably bright person would concur with Mr Galanis’ observation that The Bahamas is in worse shape now than when Perry Christie came into power three years ago.
Litter, litter and even more litter
It is appalling to drive the streets of Nassau each day and see the vast amount of litter all over our main thoroughfares. Unfortunately, I have to make frequent trips to the airport and usually end up disgusted with the state of cleanliness. This is not a rare sight, but a constant state of affairs.
Best impersonation?
Re: Man accused of impersonating pilot.
Baha Mar situation
We all hope in much anticipation that in the near future Baha Mar will be completed and opened, however, in the meantime I suggest we are hearing all kinds of rather interesting comments which I have to challenge and test.
Be wise, get a barometer
One of my aunts, whose father taught her and her sister basic weather forecasting as children, has suggested that I express her frustration with all the to-ing and fro-ing these days, about whose fault the devastation was, because the people in the eastern islands did not get the message, on what the weather was doing.
The expectations of Nottage
Re: Nottage criticised for shifting blame on crime.
Christie the modern Caesar
The decision of Prime Minister Perry Christie to announce his intentions of running again for the leadership position of the PLP at the party’s imminent convention while at a recent event in North Andros, the site of the highly touted Bahamas Agriculture and Marine Science Institute or BAMSI, was a stroke of genius.
Give constituents the power to recall
Not going to comment on how NEMA operated pre-hurricane, as there was obviously a total memory loss as to their responsibility. A teaching moment - my a..!
Electric supply during a hurricane
Since The Bahamas is situated on this globe in such a way that the direct path of some dangerous hurricanes might cross our islands, then, in my humble opinion, it is incumbent upon the government of The Bahamas to ensure that the country is prepared for such an inevitability.
