Condemn comments by Christie
At the outset, let me state that I am not a supporter of either leader of the major political parties in The Bahamas at this time.
Perfecting hypocrisy
I was utterly stunned on Friday, September 28th, 2012 when I read The Nassau Guardian’s top story, “Some FNMs accepted web shop donations.”
FNM hurt by attack on Reckley
In a September 3, article entitled The Mysterious Disappearance of Urban Renewal in The Nassau Tribune, columnist Paco Nunez was highly critical of Grand Bahama Urban Renewal Assistant Director Michelle Reckley for refusing to speak with his newspaper's Freeport reporter about the progress of the Progressive Liberal Party's (PLP) highly touted social intervention programme in the nation's second city.
Concern over crime fight
One of the major concerns of the Bahamian people today has been the proliferation of crime and the continued fight against its increase.
Fake designer bags for sale
I am writing today to bring attention to the continued selling of illegal knock-off designer bags throughout the Bay Street area.
Winning the North Abaco seat
The onus is on the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) to win the vacant North Abaco Constituency. It is a do or die situation and one which will, in essence, be a referendum on the first four months of the resurgent Christie administration or is it the Davis protectorate?
A shocking solution to education woes
THE letter states that “schools ought to create environments that facilitate students to be entrepreneurs and nation builders”, and few would disagree with that.
A thought for readers to ponder
As a Bahamian citizen I am very concerned about the potential fallout that the daring (alleged) attempted daylight heist at Atlantis could have for our tourism industry
What happens when the smoke clears?
One of the dangers the Church faces when they address moral and social problems is the possibility of interrupting their primary mission in the world, that of reconciling man to his maker. There is a very thin line that separates dogma and dogmatism; especially when there is a level of rightness that is presumed.
A dark cloud is on the horizon
The Western world is increasingly succumbing to the prejudice of "political correctness". More and more we live in a time and situation where pluralism and tolerance are, irreconcilable with absolute truth, the highest values.
We shoot to live
In 1962 a young District Constable was murdered while on patrol in Palmdale. He had encountered a man breaking into a shop there. He was overpowered and stabbed to death.
The politics of jobs
Bahamians were no doubt shocked to hear Prime Minister Perry Christie last week say the Sandals Resort at Emerald Bay in Exuma was in danger of closing its doors.
Why weren't layoffs at CB&I in Grand Bahama reported?
The recent terminations of some 19 Bahamians at the Grand Bahama Power Company (GBPC) came on the heels of a massive redundancy exercise at Chicago Bridge and Iron (CB&I) in BORCO/Buckeye in recent weeks. I was reliably informed that approximately 60 workers were given their pink slips.
Urban Renewal 2.0 an admission of failure?
The reality is there are many government ministries, departments, agencies that are already responsible for all the tasks now assigned to Urban Renewal 2.0.
Fear on Village Road
Every morning, an unkempt man is stationed at the Village Road and Shirley Street traffic light begging.
