That painting

Re: ‘Tasteless’ painting comparing PM to Hitler causes a stir.

There is deafening silence in this country with regards to the controversial modern building that is being blithely built right before our very eyes – heading upwards to the sky, drilling down below the ground and spanning out across the sea.

A failing in our democracy

During the course of the proceedings in the House of Assembly on Wednesday the 21st October, the Hon Loretta Butler-Turner, the Member for Long Island, sought to address the House with regard to the situation in Long Island following the destruction caused by Hurricane Joaquin, but the Honourable Speaker refused to grant her permission to do so.

To a man who gave so much

For Mike Wallace

Where is Bernadette Christie?

Hurricane Joaquin caused devastation across the southern islands of the Bahamas. Bahamians have been very generous. Businesses, wealthy people, churches, and nearly every sector of our society have given millions. I hope our generosity continues.

A dream worth chasing?

I see again the promoters of the “unsuccessful revival” of Nassau Speedweeks are continuing their idea to build a Racing Circuit. Caution Ministry of Tourism, caution.

Defending Candia Dames

In light of the recent personal attacks against Candia Dames, Managing Editor of The Nassau Guardian, we, the collective of women’s rights and human rights activists, vehemently condemn all who would perpetuate one of the most predictable, yet degrading tactics used by male chauvinists to diminish the worth of women, smear their character and silence them through intimidation. These tactics are acts of violence against women.

Notice for parking garage

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.
