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?

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.
Hire in private military
I’VE been looking over at the crime issue over the years, there’s a major problem when the criminals become more brave and dangerous than the current ones here. Police are outdated in weapons, some training, intelligence work and time.
Straw Market improvements
I applaud the Straw Market Authority (SMA) and the Government for their recent upgrades to the straw market for the safety, comfort and health of the occupants and the public.
School charity efforts at the cost of parents
Some private schools never cease to amaze me. They love to give (albeit to worthwhile causes), but at the expense of parents rather than the school.
In support of hurricane victims
On behalf of the members and directors of Save The Bays, I would like to express our heartfelt and profound grief at the suffering of our fellow Bahamians in the islands impacted by the devastating force of Hurricane Joaquin.
NHI to be another teachable moment
How many more “teachable moments” will it take before the Christie administration realises they are out of their depth? With the Southern Bahamas still struggling with the aftermath of this hurricane, another “teachable moment” looms in the not too distant future – NHI.
Tackle crime - or step aside
Some two decades ago, during a meeting with a government minister, the Minister made the following comment with reference to the Ministry of Finance: “This is the government, my friend. This is the government.”
Gun laws and the judiciary
A story appearing in yesterday’s (September 21st) Nassau Guardian, under the title “Nottage’s statement on mandatory minimum sentences not completely accurate” sadly and vividly displays what is wrong with the mind-set of the political and judicial establishment of The Bahamas, and how it is hurting us.
