Where has our pride gone?
Some people say that pride does not feel any pain. Others say that having too much pride will kill you. Maybe these sayings are true, maybe they are not. But what has happened to the once prideful young Bahamian?
Nothing new under the sun
Seems you have problems with discrimination, (Letters, Faceless, 11/2 15).
Cable prices
Following my viewing on television media a night ago, and listening attentively to the discussion on the impending fee hikes of Cable Bahamas products, and their services to the Bahamian public; I personally say no, to such raises, and, for many reasons:
Immigration
I don’t have much to say today; only that it would be my wish that under the (new) immigration rules being touted in recent times requiring all non-Bahamians to have a passport with a residency stamp within it, that the rules do not dictate that these persons should have this passport on them at all times, especially children.
We are all we have got
In 2014, there were, allegedly, some 112 homicides. The majority of these were perpetuated by relatively younger men on other younger men/women known to them or with whom they would have had a personal altercation or relationship. At the rate we have started off 2015 it is highly likely that the homicide level will exceed that of last year. The carnage, seemingly, goes on unabated.
Fix the traffic lights
Will the bright light who’s responsible for traffic lights fix the timing on the East Bay/Village Road and Shirley St/Village Road lights?
Minnis shows great wisdom
Under the heading “The Unceremonious firing of Senator Hunt”, “The Phoenix” wrote a letter which was published in a leading newspaper today, suggesting that Dr Minnis made a bad decision to ask Heather Hunt to resign.
Support our professionals
The beginning of the year is typically a time for spring cleaning for many of us as we file away the old and prepare for what the new year will bring.
The Bahamas Junkanoo Carnival
Kindly permit me space in your valuable columns to comment on the scheduled Junkanoo-Carnival.
Belonger’s permit
With your kind leave, I wish to add my voice to the current national debate on immigration.
Stubborn decline of Freeport
The latest jobless figures on Grand Bahama from the Department of Statistics reveals that 18.6 of the labour force on the island is unemployed.
What is the worst of the worst?
The relevant legal authorities should explain to the general society what is meant by the term “The worst of the worst”.
Who could headline?
RECENTLY, I have heard some very high figures being bandied around as the sum we will make on the Junkanoo Carnival.
Give Carnival a chance
There are many forms of cultural expressions in The Bahamas. There is energy and excitement of Junkanoo and rake and scrape music. There are masterful Bahamian carvings, sculptures and paintings. There are the performing arts and literary masterpieces.
Not all FNMs are against Carnival
I am FNM. I do not need to quantify that, but I believe the Junkanoo Carnival is a brilliant idea. I am an optimist! Mistakes have been made, but can be corrected. Let us look on the brighter side. This is a Bahamian thing, done by Bahamians.
