This is really good news! Small, but significant step in the right direction! God bless the Bahamas!

Yes, John. The Prime Minister understands that citizens living within the inner cities need jobs. He understands that the entire nation needs an economic boost. But the delimma that we all face is that economic development takes TIME.
It may only take a second to make a mistake, but it can take years to rectify that mistake. And here in the Bahamas we have made TONS of mistakes.
So while the government is doing its best to initiate an adequate economic foundation in the midst of a “mess of a country”, I encourage every Bahamian to take a long look in the mirror. The problem I see with many Bahamians is that we want our situation to change, yet we fail to change ourselves. We want our situation to improve, yet we fail to improve ourselves. We want the government to accomplish everything, but ask your nearest neighbor what has he accomplished for himself. Successive Bahamian governments have failed because we the people have continued to fail. The government is simply an extension of the people it represents. The government is extracted from a pool of its own citizens. So when we begin to improve ourselves, the government will likewise begin to improve.

Here’s a fun fact..... Foreigners come to this country with little or nothing, and in a little over a decade are successful businesses owners and entrepreneurs. The Chinese do it, the Jamaicans do it, the Haitians do it. Yet all we Bahamians do is sit, complain, and blame the government. If we want change in our country, we have to be the change. If we want change in our communities let’s start by changing our households. Let’s start by talking with our neighbors and forming community resources. We as Bahamians are NOT helpless. We can help ourselves and improve our own country.

As an avid PLP supporter, you really don’t have a tounge to talk. Your government is the hallmark of political corruption and ineptitude. The only reason that Christie and his cohorts aren’t in prison is because the Bahamas doesn’t have proper legislation drafted and in place to adequately prosecute corruption. Thus far, the laws of the Bahamas only allow politicians to be prosecuted for bribery, which many PLPs are now facing. So shut your ignorant mouth and stop talking foolishness.

Please stop being so ignorant. The Prime Minister has consistently lamented his desire to improve not just Freeport, but Grand Bahama as well. It will take years to assess, plan, and carry out economic improvements throughout Grand Bahama. The stupidity among Bahamians is astounding.

I really don’t understand how the US can point fingers at the Bahamas especially knowing that America is the biggest consumer and one of the largest producers of elicit drugs in the Western Hemisphere. Oh...... and don’t get me started on illegal fire arms.

Hmmmm

Where is the proof on the Fish Fry Alert????????????????????
Seriously??????????????????
Marvin Dames smoking grass a????
Are these government officials living on this island?????????

Yup

John is the only idiot who can't understand that.
I really don't think he's been out of the Bahamas a day in his life.
I guess he spends his vacation in Nassau Village or off Farrington Road or supm.

I don't know why yall bother answering John.
His sense of patriotism blinds him and ushers him into talking bias rubbish.
