Well it took almost five years for BoB to meet its near demise. so of course it will not it will not be healed overnight. But the good news is the hemmoraging has stopped and hopefully there will be no further drain on the public purse. more importantly measures will be put in place to stop politicians and cronies from raping the bank in the future.

you forgot to factor in your equation how much the loss was was in the quarters prior to the earnings and also the growth potential of the bank both in the presence of new workers, 5000 at BAh MaR alone, and also due to the scaling back of operations by a major competitor who, apparently, has also saw increases in profits and resumed the payments of dividends.

Then there’s death bed confessions...

Just so you can wrap your mind around reality ; more Vets are committing suicide in the US each day than the number of soldiers killed in the numerous wars America is involved in around the world. And your statement that there are 52 gangs operating in the Bahamas with the potential to grow in to cartels or terrorists as just as baseless and As fiction as a comic book. How many Bahamians o you know to be terrorist or involved in such activities? Are you aware that most Bahamians that join gangs do so at an early age and once they learn what gang banging is about they try to get out. and many lose their lives trying to find the exit. Your credibility is shot on all sides so change your pen name, rewind and try again.

Aegeaon..THANKS or so eloquently calling me a liar. Unfortunately your argument is not with me but with the truth. And then with reality. With 6 million tourists coming in an out of this little country along with many other foreigners, The Bahamas has developed its share of problems. Among them are the drugs,the gangs, the violence, the murders, the music, movies, the fast and unhealthy the henny,etc., are all imported and mostly from our 'friends' and neighbor to the West. Not to mention guns and yes even the policing tactics, where young men are targeted, harassed, beaten up, falsely accused and, now, more than ever,killed by the police,under the pretense of fighting crime. Every person on earth know that gangs are an American creation. When you want to know real Bahamians and true Bahamian culture go spend some time on any of the Family Islands. And the leaders are coming to realize they need to fix the food and foreign influence problem. Embrace our young people an groom them to become upright and productive citizens rather than tossing them to be slaughtered by gangs an other vices, or to eventually be hunted down an killed like dogs by the police. 'The American republic was founded on a set of beliefs that were tested during the Revolutionary War. Among them was the idea that all people are created equal, whether European, Native American, or African American, and that these people have fundamental rights, such as liberty, free speech, freedom of religion, due process of law, and freedom of assembly. America’s revolutionaries openly discussed these concepts. Many Americans agreed with them but some found that the ideology was far more acceptable in the abstract than in practice. And yes, the majority of Americans *are* good people, but, like you said, there is that small minority that wants to spread dissent and mayhem both in that country and around the world, our little country included. and as a result you get mass killings, you get veterans, many whom are homeless and on drugs. War veterans who commit suicides at a rate of 14 a day. Over 5,000 a year. Where is their land of milk and honey?

And so where are the nay sayer's who said it was a waste of time trying to save this bank? Busy buying BoB shares...wanna bet? their value will probably triple by years end as long as the current board and proper management remains in place. Bob is now Central Bank compliant.

Maybe there needs to be some balance between the different foreign investors in this country. Atlantis was originally South African taken over by people from various nationalities, Albany is mostly Americans. Bah Mar was American taken over by Chinese. The Jamaicans own Sandals and Breezes, A German family now owns the salt farm in Inagua, The Mexicans control Bay Street and Bahamians are still waiters and maids. A good economic mix.

Go follow the money on who making billions from it,, then fix that!

Juju don’t let ignorance fool you. You cannot take a country’s economy and fold it up and put in your back pocket for your own personal use. And that is what most of the resorts, especially the all inclusive, did to The Bahamas. And also the cruise ships. Only a jackass would expect to see Bay Stree clean, green and pristine if no money is flowing downtown. And you cannot blame Bahamians. They got packed up and shipped to The Town Center mall and Marathon mall decades ago. The saying is ‘you shouldn’t take sand to the beach.’ But also you shouldn’t come into a country and t’ief all its sand and still expect to meet sand there when you come. That’s piracy. Complaining about it is hypocrisy. Hopefully, yes, Bay Street will be fixed. And this time to the economic benefit of the Bahamian people. Not to be undermined by the foreign elements that lie to you about your own Bahamian people who’ll ‘t’iefing your sand. And the All Bahamian is drug dealers slogan is played out. The opioid epidemic wreaking havoc on America has nothing to do with the Bahamas or Bahamians.

"The FBI has confirmed that it was warned about the teenager who allegedly carried out a mass shooting at his former school in Florida.

Nikolas Cruz, who has been charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder, reportedly left a comment on a YouTube video last year stating: "I'm going to be a professional school shooter."

A user alerted authorities to the post.

Teachers were also warned about Mr Cruz, who was not allowed on campus with a backpack, US media report.

The FBI said it had investigated the YouTube comment but had been unable to fully identify the person who posted it." BBC
