Bahamas at a political crossroads
Greetings. And thank you very much for the space in your five-day publication, I appreciate it, as I tried to rummage through some actual facts, pointing to an extinction of the Bahamian populace, as it were, and not too distant from now.
We must stand up and speak
The victim of alleged physical and sexual assault by a sitting parliamentarian is to be supported and commended by all right-thinking Bahamians. As we all know, it is no easy thing to go up against powerful people in this country.
Is RCI project really right for Bahamas?
Please permit me to share my views on recent remarks made by Michael Bayley, Royal Caribbean’s president and chief executive, and our Prime Minister, Phillip “Brave” Davis, as reported in the local press.
We must change our attitudes on gender-based violence
Please allow me space to express great concern over the rise in domestic and gender-based violence. No form of violence is acceptable and we, as a nation, as a people, should ensure that legislation that speaks to the condemnation of this action is given priority. We must ensure the enforcement of those laws already on the books. We must be the change.
No new taxes! More growth!
New taxes seem to be on the agenda. We are hearing about family islanders paying real property tax, corporation tax, income tax, increased NIB contributions and so on.
A comprehensive crime reduction and prevention plan
Three murders in 24 hours, the continued failure to reduce murders, robberies and crime by Prime Minister Philip Davis and the PLP Government of the Bahamas.
Portland has become another Freeport City
On Easter Monday, CBN uploaded a video report on its YouTube channel titled Portland’s Meltdown: A Progressive Experiment That Has Gone Colossally Bad. Dale Hurd was the reporter.
End corporal punishment now!
It is unfathomable that in the 21st century, teachers and parents are beating our children to a pulp. ALL teachers and parents who resort to beating lack communication skills.
Realtor: Extend resort tax breaks to vacation rentals
A prominent realtor is advocating that Bahamian vacation rental owners whose properties meet the necessary standard be granted the same tax breaks and incentives as large resort properties.
Tribute to my aunt, Dame Marjorie Davis
My aunt Dame Marjorie Davis will be laid to rest today at St Francis Xavier Catholic Cathedral. She lived an exemplary life, having dedicated her life to God and fulfilling the work of our Lord throughout her long life of nearly 95 years. A Bahamian icon and heroine, Dame Marjorie Davis was instrumental in improving and furthering many facets of Bahamian society, including in the fields of education, Girl Guides, the Zonta Club, the Legion of Saint Mary, the local Catholic faith and countless others.
Thanking Allyson Maynard Gibson for invitation
On Friday, 31/3/23 at 11am on an invitation from Mrs Allyson Maynard Gibson I was welcomed at the University of The Bahamas by Mrs Gibson, the Principal of the University and several members of the senior staff.
Colonialism and Haiti
Colonialism: The policy or practice of acquiring fully or partial control over another country, occupying it with settlers, and exploiting it economically.
Jesus focal point of our history
CHRISTIANS throughout the world are currently reflecting on the death, burial and glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ during the Holy Week. In his classic little book titled More Than a Carpenter, American Christian apologist Joshua McDowell said that Jesus entered the human race in a small Jewish community 2,000 years ago, yet people everywhere still remember Him.
Coalition best suited to bring change
I have been blessed with the opportunity to travel extensively, participate in certain cultures and observe opportunities citizens have in their respective countries. The Bahamas is a wealthy nation and in my humble opinion should be further along in it’s development had we adopted certain ideologies to empower it’s people, fifty years ago.
The battle is raging
“I keep telling myself not to give up hope to be brave and stay strong because I believe there are people out there who will believe in me and will help me through these hard times”.
