No to Village Rd roundabout
Having attended the Village Road improvement project virtual meeting in March, I was shocked to learn the Ministry of Works now proposes to install a roundabout in the area of Queen’s College and the Bahamas National Trust.
Response to tragic boat disaster
The swift response by the police and the efficient and effective investigations conducted into the disaster involving the Human Trafficking vessel, that sank in our waters recently is commendable.
A response to letter of critique
I am surprised that a prolific editorial writer, Kevin Evans, who I do not know any more than the man in the Moon, submitted an extensive drivel about me the other day. With all of the pressing national issues confronting our wonderful nation, many inflamed by the disjointed policies of the former administration and its hapless leader, Evans could find the time to craft a lengthy critique of yours truly.
History of our nation
On December 19, 1962 a very significant international event occurred within the gates of Lyford Cay. President John F Kennedy - UK Prime Minister Macmillan and Canadian PM John Diefenbaker met and resulting from this meeting NATO's military position to the “cold war was established“.
Pintard does not need to hear from Bodie
I read Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) radio personality Ortland Bodie’s Nassau Guardian opinion piece on Free National Movement (FNM) Leader Michael Pintard and it dawned on me how utterly subjective the media in The Bahamas is regarding politics.

Ingraham’s continued distractions
On the 30th anniversary of the Free National Movement’s 1992 election victory, Hubert Ingraham took the opportunity to double down on some of the organisation’s foundational and self-justifying myths. Having spent years close enough to the bosom of Mr Ingraham’s party, I have heard all of these narratives repeatedly. They do not withstand serious scrutiny.
Firearms possession
Jamilla Kennyatta Thomas, 33, inadvertently carried a live round of ammunition into the Bahamas. She was arrested at Lynden Pindling International Airport on May 29th as she prepared to board a return flight to the US-Glendale, California. The bullet was a single 9mm round. Jamilla was pregnant, incurred travel delay and sustained mental distress over this event. She had to plead guilty to criminal possession of ammunition before a magistrate and pay a serious fine to avoid prison.
Goodman’s Bay parking plans
Goodman’s Bay - Will the eastern parking area be taken over by employees of the soon to be opened Wynn Condo Hotel?
Importance of Fox Hill celebration
The people of Fox Hill celebrated a successful Fox Hill Day on the 9th August. The celebrations were marred only by the actions of one idiot, but apart from that isolated incident it was a successful day.
Capital punishment
Since the last hanging during PM Ingraham's time there has been no hanging for murder. I recall within 24 hours of the much publicised hanging ZNS outside the walls of Fox Hill live coverage there were two murders (the point of hanging being a deterrent possibly minimised). Privy Council says none except for the worst of the worst, but what is that three?
Strange banking
The following is the body of a letter sent to the Central Bank Governor a week ago for attention. To date, however, I have not received acknowledgement of same, and would therefore wish to share it with the public in your publication as well as on social media so that many more of ‘we, the people’ can also register our concern over this situation that continues to plague the ‘customers’ of banking institutions in this country. Our voices must be heard, as we too have rights. Speak up Bahamas!
Did Freeport embarrass nation?
Pineridge MP Ginger Moxey and Bahamas Association of Athletic Associations (BAAA) President Drumeco Archer should not be raked over the coals by the people of Nassau for choosing Freeport as host for the North American Central American and Caribbean Athletic Association event over the weekend.
Don’t listen to Chamber
Khrystle Rutherford-Ferguson and her colleagues at the Bahamas Chamber of Commerce can perhaps be excused for pretending to believe that minimum wage rises in The Bahamas are an inflationary, rather than anti-inflationary measure. After all, they are self-evidently an interest group looking to secure their own narrow interests, rather than the general welfare of The Bahamas.
