BTC was cutting off phones for $100.00 last week. Business phones included. This ticked off many customers and so they went to Aliv and took their numbers with them. Then there is this issue with the FLOW tv. Customer say he was suppose to be paying $45.00 a month but their bill is $168.00. He told the lady to 'turn that Sh!t off and come take y'all things out my house!' But there are similar complaints with cable tv and some people are also leaving Aliv and going back to BTC. Yet other customers have service from both Aliv and BTC. it's a matter of choice.

If Nottage is not healthy enough for office he needs to make the judgement call and back out of front line politics. No sense in getting elected then having to step down after a short while due to failing health. A by-election is expensive also.

You also pay VAT on every cell phone you make and whenever you use the internet or data on your phone.

If the dirt keep piling up, the country soon need a bigger rug to sweep it under.

There are several factors at play: Many feel that attending Carnival would be taken as showing support for the PLP. That is because they made the event so political. Also many persons in Grand Bahama are still in recovery mode , recovering from hurricane Mathew, and not having extra funds for these events. Others are in campaign mode as well as some who travelled to Exuma this weekend for the regatta.

Has anyone seen a poll yet that has the PLP winning the election? Some were calling it 22-17 in favor of the FNM and 1 DNA and one independent seat. A more recent poll is showing 23 seats for the FNM 15 for the PLP and 1 for the DNA. This poll does not see Loretta -Butler retaining her seat. Even Perry Christie is getting the jitters and pumping more resources into his consticuency. He also has his family doing door to door campaigning.

I guess you have a mental block. Loretta has admitted that it was not her idea to challenge Minnis or to send the letter of no confidence in him to the governor general, but she just went along. So how can you say she is the best choice to replace him when she has been "puppetized" and manipulated just to undermine Minnis and carry out the special interests of people with deep pockets. Now Butler-turner is damaged goods and may not even win her seat on Long Island.

Under the Pindling regime not only did the PLP government control the job market and ensure jobs went mostly to PLP supporters and their families but they did the same thing with scholarships. So for two decades mostly PLP's were going off on scholarships and were guaranteed jobs when they return. Today many young people are going off on private scholarships including athletics. The biggest setback when they return home and wanting to start a business is financing.

BMW how can you call me slack, lazy and corrupt when you don't know me.? Make your mother proud and continue to spew your racial bullsh!t. You with your dirty brains want us to think that of Bahamians while you come here and rape our country. Nothing more dangerous than a self serving hypocrite.

The biggest problem with the economy is The government has been so fatally obsessed with Bah Mar since they came to office that they let many other opportunities to grow the economy slip and slide away. And on top of that they failed to address the problem of crime in the country, murders especially. Beyond that many traditional jobs have become obsolete because of the advancement of electronic technology and the retail sector and banking has been extremely hard hit by this. The tourism numbers have also been lackluster and we continue to give our natural resources away including our Human Resources. And on top of that we continue to rely on the foreign element to invest in and grow our economy. Unfortunately many of the foreigners who come here to 'invest ' and selfish and greedy and many are racist who tend to exclude Bahamians from their business plan, especially when then discover "our labor ain't for free no more." But yes our government continues to have faith in the foreign investors and continue to get disappointed by them. There are so many opportunities for Bahamians to grow this country to the point where it will hundreds of brain drainers back home. If government would only give them half the incentives and support they give the foreign opportunists. The US is the country that consumes most of our immigrants. And sometimes you meet second and third generations of Bahamians. Some who have never been to the Bahamas. Others who have only visited a few times. Many are well educated and have high skilled, high powered and high paying jobs. Call them experts and professionals. But the thing they have in common is they want to return home. They don't want to always be a foreigner in another country. And one day this is going to happen. It will change the face of the Bahamas. And we will no longer have these people coming from half way around the world exploiting us and abusing our people.
