Hanna Martin meddling with UB decision
Once again, Minister of Education Glenys Hanna Martin has been a terrible disappointment.
Take a look in the mirror
AS Bahamians, we should all admit to ourselves after looking in the mirror that when we go to our so-called election polls every four years plus now, we go to vote for what we see in the mirror.
Crocodile tears, bogus sympathies
IN recent times two young Bahamian women lost their lives in horrific circumstances before their toddlers. We all mourned their passing and made calls for justice and amendments to the law. After a few weeks those events are just a passing memory. Truly, the dead will bury the dead...
Governor General successor
There is serious significance of who will the Prime Minister nominate to follow HE Cornelius Smith as Governor General or will he allow Smith to continue for a further term through the 50th anniversary of Independence and on and the anticipated Referendum on whether The Bahamas stays a Realm State or graduates to a Democratic Republic.
Media narrative on Ukraine wrong
I hold no brief for Vladimir Putin. I never met him nor even visited his country.
Don’t let cruise ships define us
For some time now I have been trying to deal with a subject matter that is not a pleasant topic. Most people avoid it; but I feel it must be dealt with.
The trying times that face us all
Do you ever feel like the darkness is winning?
No sign of normal
Your Tourism Minister has cheerily declared that tourism will be back to normal very soon.
Tribute to trailblazer Burrows
“Give me my flowers now,” have been said regarding several events to honour trailblazers. But for one young man, the urgency to recognise his contribution to a whole country has become more evident. As we mourn the passing of a junior baseball icon in the recent death of Jeff Albury, we must act now.
Keep on going even when it seems too hard
Please allow me space in your esteemed publication to express myself with the hope of connecting to others.
The value of our freedom
Throughout my life, I have admired The Tribune, for upholding our freedoms, particularly freedom of speech, freedom of movement, and freedom of the press.
Eye for an eye on our streets
Nassau was submerged in a bloodbath over the past weekend. The Nassau Tribune’s report that five persons were killed in four separate shootings over a three-day span suggests that The Bahamas will record another 100-plus murders in 2022.
Twisted Ukraine narrative
Sensible people stopped taking the western media seriously at the time of the 2003 Iraq war, when it became little more than a cheerleader for the western war machine, ridiculing dissenting voices as it destroyed an Arab country in a war based solely on lies. It did the same with Libya and it almost did the same with Syria – until Russia stopped it.
RIP DNA
In December 2021, Arinthia Komolafe resigned as leader of the Democratic National Alliance (DNA), nearly three months after the September 16 general election.
Stress in our society
I have never held myself out to be a psychiatrist or anything of the sort. My common and every day experiences along with interpersonal relationships have led me to the conclusion that a large number of Bahamians are suffering from assorted forms of mental illnesses. I further submit that we are good at denying and hiding the symptoms from ourselves. We hardly ever confide in others or talk about our internal demons because we risk being called crazy or worse.
