The horse has left the stable on this one.

Then why the Oban debacle and now what appears to be another debacle with Disney. Those are all the hall marks of a banana republic.

LMAO.

can someone do minnis a favor and not put a mic in front of his face?

Sorry---We are more like a Coconut Kingdom!

So...what did his wife do?

He doesn't even know what it means...we are a banana republic, in every sense of the phrase. Here's wikipedia's definition:

"*In political science, the term banana republic describes a politically unstable country with an economy dependent upon the exportation of a limited-resource product, such as bananas or minerals.... **Typically, a banana republic has a society of extremely stratified social classes, usually a large impoverished working class and a ruling-class plutocracy, composed of the business, political and military elites of that society.[1] Such a ruling-class oligarchy control the primary sector of the economy by way of the exploitation of labour**;[2] thus, the term banana republic is a pejorative descriptor for a servile dictatorship that abets and supports, for kickbacks, the exploitation of large-scale plantation agriculture, especially banana cultivation.[2]*"

"*In economics, a banana republic is a country with an economy of state capitalism, by which economic model the country is operated as a private commercial enterprise for the exclusive profit of the ruling class. Such **exploitation is enabled by collusion between the state and favored economic monopolies, in which the profit, derived from the private exploitation of public lands, is private property, while the debts incurred thereby are the financial responsibility of the public treasury**. Such an imbalanced economy remains limited by the uneven economic development of town and country, and usually reduces the national currency into devalued banknotes (paper money), rendering the country ineligible for international development credit.*"

A must repeat:

"**Exploitation of public lands for PRIVATE profit while debts are the responsibility of the public treasury**".

That about sums it up. I wonder who's getting the finders fee on the Disney deal? Is it the same person who was trying to push Oban?

The same thing he criticized the former government while in opposition,he is now doing.The shoe is on the other foot.

Until us the masses, come to our senses. Soberly acknowledge that we the people know our own individual needs and the needs of the country as a whole. These men and women who make up the 'Government' never have represented the people when they go to these international meetings. They only represent their flowery words. For when they return things carry on the same. Nothing has improved country wide over the past 39yrs of Bahamian rule. The majority of our family island roads are in despicable conditions. This is not a laughing matter to a country with less than half a million people residing. There is a lot any administration needs to consider when they go out to convince the population that they are fit minded persons, sincerely considerate of our needing to fulfill our families expectations of us as household providers regardless of gender. Instead the people were rewarded with mass unemployment. Insufficient food, poor health services and an increase in Fabricated Value Added Tax. None of those words direct any country or it's citizens to prosperity. Thus, NATIONAL DEBT OF THE BAHAMAS. To much wasted deliberation on how to improve the poor in our country from having to live in inhumane conditions. Why are all world leaders hesitating on actually doing what is good United as you claim to be? Wait...you do realize that as advanced as we claim to be. We are not advance in global human coexistence? We have an ENTIRE PLANET to ourselves! And the best that humanity have done is given everyone more stress. Really United Nations? 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 not too hard to calculate.

This world is full of haters Jesus comming soon

Lanisha?

LOL!

Ma Comrade GreenTea, more likes by the time the got his reputation as the 'always late everything' PM reached the Brain Store buys some marbles - the store's staff had done gone home for day. { Can't make this "slippery as banana peel" PM up }.

The true is....we ARE a banana republic....

The truth is....we ARE a banana republic....

Minnis took 16 people to the UN? Sure its a perk so you want your wife to come... But more than one aide and more than one Police? It's ludicrous, but we must tighten our belts and pay more VAT? Minnis is out of his mind. The Bahamas is a tiny country, if we have talented people in Government, 6 of them should've been enough including Mrs Minnis. I hope Tamika's husband paid for her... hahahahaha Just another albatross around our necks. Did Minnis even give the speech?? Oh right...no.

Some great comments here, especially humanintelligence.
Thanks.

You ain't no superman??? tell us something we don't already know please fool....

And we are a 3rd world Banana republic as long as we keep sending idiot leaders to these global meetings like you and Chrispy.....The whole world plainly see's what we are as soon as you open your mouth and your content in turn supports their assumptions...

How about a puppet republic

LMAO
