Most of these pastors are greedy evil men using Christianity as a source of power. No one should be getting paid by the church. It should be a voluntary unpaid contribution to the congregation.

They look silly in these wigs and costumes. I thought we were independent, why are we following the traditions of our former masters? Seems like we just took the place of white masters and kept everything else the same.

We have many examples of corruption and incompetence throughout our political, legal, and governance systems. I wouldn't give them a licence to kill.

“Right now, our priority is addressing those issues of poverty in this country.” - PM Davis

Freedom of information will help with poverty. We aren't a poor country our GDP per population is very high (just above Saudi Arabia). But the distribution of the money is concentrated amongst a small group. If the wealth was more evenly distributed the average Bahamian would live a comfortable life.

Give the people the information so the power is in the hands of the people to right the wrongs. The people who got in this mess are telling us to 'mind ya business we focused on making your life better'. Yeah right, give me a break.

Lol, not surprised

What was the crime? And is the response proportional to the crime? We wouldn't dare do something like this to Peter Nygard or Sam Bankman-Fried. If all they did was say/write something.

We only associate our failures with African countries because we share a colonial past with them. By design, the former colonies failed to become prosperous independent countries. We adopted a political and governing system designed for a colony. We did not create a new system design for an independent country. So now our leaders are black Bahamians but they're not much different in their treatment of the people (subjects/slaves) as the white British lords who ruled over the Bahamas.

We need to ask ourselves what we want the Bahamas to be and create new systems that promote that outcome. Instead of trying to make a system designed for exploitation work for us.
