Rampant promiscuity in our land
I wrote this letter to the editor at the risk of being ridiculed, attacked, or otherwise. Only God can judge me!
Things it makes sense to be rid of
"A penny for your thoughts" may have gone out of style here in The Bahamas, but it got me to thinking about our dichotomy. You see, the other day when I noticed some pennies among my other coins, it dawned on me that those one cent pieces were no longer being used here in The Bahamas.
Journey under leadership of Prime Minister Philip Davis
This letter aims to offer a thoughtful recounting of our journey under the leadership of Prime Minister Philip Edward Davis, KC MP, highlighting not just our accomplishments but also the challenges we’ve faced.
Council sex abuse view is a start
We extend our gratitude to the Bahamas Christian Council for its recent efforts to shed light on the distressing issue of sexual abuse and violence against children in our community. The council’s commitment to safeguarding the well-being of our young ones is commendable, and as spiritual leaders their collective voice resonates deeply.
Light at the end?
I hope you can help me. I clearly remember there being hopes last year that the road works on Village Road would have been completed by the start of the school term.
Androsians need urgent power fixes
In an unprecedented display of unity and determination, the resilient people of North Andros gathered today for a peaceful protest in front of the Bahamas Power and Light (BPL) main office, voicing their frustration and suffering caused by persistent power outages that have plagued their lives since the tragic burning down of the critical Bahamas Power and Light Powerhouse. Led by the passionate advocate, Lisa Sweeting, the protestors rallied under the banner of “Enough is Enough,” demanding immediate action and resolution to the ongoing power crisis that has exacerbated their already challenging circumstances.
Govt not serious about solar
This Emancipation holiday in this 50th anniversary year of Independence provides the opportunity to reflect on ‘how we get so’?
Why are we considering another GG?
On this, our 50th anniversary year of Independence and days before our Emancipation Day holiday, I am putting pen to paper to question what I consider to be a glaring anomaly.
Return to Gender Violence Bill
Equality Bahamas continues to sound the alarm, alerting The Bahamas that gender-based violence, particularly against women and girls, is a public health crisis.
A salute to Chester Cooper
As The Bahamas struggles to come to the reality of its challenging infrastructure, Family Island airports, and many modern challenges of a young nation.
Government and renewables
On the momentous occasion of The Bahamas’ 50th anniversary of Independence when we reflect upon our nation’s progress and contemplate the path forward, we believe our government must make a bold and visionary decision to declare its commitment to renewable energy as the driving source for energy generation while transitioning from a heavy dependence on oil for the betterment of our beloved islands.
Politcians, show your positions
Lucifer is at work in our country. He has set out to destroy the traditional family and marriage between a man and a woman. We are in the process of importing the demonic values of North America and Europe. This I believe is the strategy. This demonic, satanic behaviour has infiltrated the pre-schools in America. It is only a matter of time before it lands at our doorstep in the next five to 10 years. Christianity is under attack.
Rethink downtown demolitions
Bay Street and precincts … what might be unoccupied seems by authority Bay Street Development folks will apply for demolition orders and down those buildings will come.
Failures in our top industry
Tourism is certainly not just Nassau and certainly probably the revenue level of certain Family Islands exceeds per cap the revenue of the visitor to Nassau so surely we should maintain — ensure product is at best year round? We don’t clear North Eleuthera Airport which feeds into the upscale destination of Harbour Island.
