How does a nation with such a small population boast such horrible exam results? It is an embarrassment and probably the fodder of much laughter by other countries with much larger populations and lower GDP but produce a better educated citizen. Every politician since Independence should hang their head in shame. This is the primary contributor to the crime problem in this country and it is just getting started. Keeping people ignorant to feed them lies for a vote gets ugly when the ignorant cannot work and want all the bling they see on their TV.

I would not be surprised to learn Sir Clement having leases in his name at the hotel as well!

These ignorant morons are getting more and more brazen where they are committing their murders. Will we be safe as law abiding citizens sitting in restaurants?

Life is indeed stranger than fiction. No one could even imagine the lunacy!

Blatant " All for me Baby" arrogance. Just like dad.

The Minister needs to start with his good buddy Peter Nygard!

....." cannot buy the young people of the Bahamas". Both political parties prove well every five years how cheap it is to buy the young people of this country. The great majority are so ignorant they literally sell their futures for $20.00 per year on average along with a tee-shirt and a few beers. Next to Haiti, due the extreme poverty that exists there, the youth of The Bahamas are most probably the most egocentric and ignorant in the entire region. The disregard for others in this nation displayed by the youth in Nassau is like nothing seen elsewhere in the western hemisphere.

The reason this nation is destined to fail is due to universal suffrage. The vast majority of the electorate are unexposed, willfully ignorant, arrogant asses that believe The Bahamas to be the center of the earth, They also sell their vote for essentially $20.00 per year of governance on average. Almost 80 per cent of them do not even know their heritage let alone national or world history. What is happening in this country is just the tip of the iceberg. The fact that the "leaders" of this nation are elected by a massive number of twits means the political elite can invest peanuts every five years to have access to the treasury full time. That, and give thousands of Haitians citizenship every five years to shore shit up. Therefore, the current situation is really minimal compared to what happens in the next decade. Crime, lack of foreign investment, unemployment and drug abuse will skyrocket. The "leaders" of The Bahamas do not give a rat's ass about the future of the nation given their prime interest of enriching family, friends and lovers. They all have the funds to relocate out of anarchy if need be. The only problem for this arrogant lot is that Uncle Sam has been listening to their deals for quite some time now. So the coziness to China is the reason that this foreign investor finds himself caught between a rock and a hard place. The whole matter is a total embarrassment. The problem is the majority of the electorate has no clue and never will. God help us.

...guess if D'Aguilar was running a chain of liquor stores, then that would be a different story.

Mangrove Bush insure on grand standers are elected to represent Long Island in Parliament and do nothing but focus on national issues and leadership positions. That is why Long Island is regressing faster than the rest of The Bahamas.
