My biggest problem in The Bahamas is the racial prejudice and persecution that been rained down on me by the Bahamian government and the civil service. I'm white. Y'all need to accept the fact that "Haitians" are going to be in The Bahamas forever. The best you can hope for is a decent government.....good luck and God help us all
I heard that Blocbuster franchises are a real deal now and that renting VHS tapes is the new thing. Seriously, lets just go with old tech in the new world, that will be our best path forward onward upward into the end of the world as we know it. We gubmint smaaarrt bey...And to think Tennyson Wells thought long line fishing was a good idea..."RIP'' bro
it should have occurred to these clowns years ago that we weren't properly prepared for a hurricane. The government does the same dance every time they are caught with their pants down. I'm not expecting anything to be any different when the next storm hits. The Bahamian government has failed miserably far too many times for me to have even a hint of confidence in them now....please prove to me that you have finally learned, please prove me wrong.
and what exactly is the law regarding "Haitians" born in The Bahamas ? I'm pretty sure there is no law. The Bahamas is going to have a large "Haitian" population forevermore. Y'all can stop shouting now and get on with life. There are bigger fish to fry.
Ingraham and Christie had years and years to build NEMA into a properly organized and well trained organization, but did they? Obviously not. Will MInnis retrain the entire organization so that during the next hurricane they can wow the survivors? Doubt it. Never a lesson learned it seems. Island life bey, we ain' checkin'
Ingraham's and Christies lack of planning and lack of proper leadership have put us where we are today. In the wake of every single hurricane there is mass confusion in the ranks of government employees. Plane loads of supplies being denied entry because of confusion on duties. Bahamas Air charging $75 because of a lack of training on disaster response. The previous governments are a complete failure and Minnis has a golden opportunity here. Slow start? ok. but moving forward if Minnis can orchestrate an orderly recovery with much improved ease of doing business, zero confusion and hassle to get building supplies in, real help from the government. People will forget the slow start, but sadly, My prediction is that Minnis and his gang will bungle along and we Bahamas gov gonna be just as frigged up as before
