Don’t avenge our self-harm on Haitians
Before I was ten, I was all heated up about the Haitian migration issue.
Let us pray
A FORMER Barbados and International fast bowler (Cricketer) Pastor Courtney Selman, now radio Evangelist, believes that he was Divinely called to “make this clarion call globally in order to make our world a better one.” He thinks, “this can be achieved by calling the 2.2 billion Christians and 1.2 billion Catholics world-wide to regular corporate daily prayer.
Defend our freedoms
Like many Bahamians, I watched several clips circulated on social media on Wednesday, February 15, 2023. As I watched, I was very disturbed to see what was transpiring and now find it not only necessary to put pen to paper, but important to do so.
Alcohol, drugs and gambling
In Jesus put all your trust, all your belief, and all your heart.
FNM, tell the truth
The FNM needs to tell the truth. It was interesting to see the barrage of letters that flooded your column a few weeks ago in response to the Mackey Street Man’s opinion on who should lead the FNM into the next general election. The litany of letters to the editors seemed so insubstantial and offered no real substantive case in support of Mr Pintard’s leadership, other than he is not Dr Minnis.
Name the highway for boxing champion
We, the Committee to Honour Elisha Obed, our first World Champion in an Independent Bahamas, formally make a request to government to name the East West Highway, The Elisha Obed Highway.
The reason for so little property tax
In a well-written letter in Tuesday’s Tribune, a Mr. Jerome Smith questions why the Ministry of Finance cannot seem to collect property taxes.
Such a noise
Why do the RBPF need to make such a noise when escorting a dignitary?
Borrowing from NIB
Once again I find it necessary to put pen to paper and express a growing concern for the citizenry of The Bahamas.
A name fit for a road
Today I mount my hobby horse, again – about street names.
Haiti must find own solution
No sensible person is able to deny that the Republic of Haiti is a ‘failed’ state. This is a sad indictment and is fast becoming a geopolitical problem and a source of dislocation for her people and a bane on the wider Caribbean, inclusive of The Bahamas and Turks & Caicos. The resources of these two nations have been stretched to the limits and the seams could rapidly burst in short order.
Why can’t Finance collect property tax?
PM says we are collecting 40 percent of the whole due from Real Property Tax - the FNM and then the PLP governments re-assessed New Providence and found, so they say, and it is reported that thousands are not registered and hundreds with enormous arrears… didn’t they say $600m?
Clean it up
Lake Cunningham cleaning overgrown sides of lake... congrats to the ever going Mr Pot Cake, Hon Leslie Miller - Mr Get-it-done.
Will COI air dirty laundry?
I’M GUESSING that the average Bahamian is unaware of Prime Minister Philip Brave Davis’ role in CARICOM as chairperson. Davis will head this year’s 44th Regular Meeting of the Conference of the Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community or CARICOM in New Providence. The meeting will be held on February 15-17.
Speaking for Bahamians?
A voice note has been sent around on Whatsapp from the president of the taxi union, Wesley Ferguson – and it has to be heard to be believed.
