How the hell can the Bahamas be the 6th most expensive country in the world to live in when we are located only 40 miles off the coast and the biggest trading partners with the world's 24th most expensive country in the world to live in?
HA, You must be joking, "Qualified, Bahamians with education and experience and Nuevo wealth" have absolutely no interest in returning to this corrupt banana republic! It is far easier for them to invest and live abroad than to even begin considering uprooting the Bay Street and Sun Shine boys groups of pirates.
The Bahamas has been a den of piracy for 100's of years and as long as the PLP or FNM are in power nothing will change!
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, **"what if"** Lynden Pindling, Hubert Ingraham, and Perry Christie were not corrupt and actually cared more about Bahamians than Haitians and others!
First and foremost our population would be about 155,000, the standards of education, health care, social services, and security would be the best in the region, we would be among the strongest banking sectors in the world, there would be over employment instead of massive unemployment and no need for a high crime rate!
The Bahamas is only 40 miles off the U.S. mainland but among the 6th most expensive countries in the world to live in but we cannot keep the lights on, street signs are practically non-existant, crime is off the charts, our people have been all but totally devoured by poverty caused by rising unemployment, while Haitians, Asians, Latinos, Africans, and many, many, others live off the fat of the land sending remittances to home countries to support families build houses, and start businesses.
We joined the U.S. and instantly jumped on the "war against drugs" wagon with-out any thought whatsoever, and now find ourselves still **self-shackled** there "pondering" long after the U.S. and others abandoned the initiative, and changed course to capitalize on its profits. Too self-righteous to get out of our own way!
We allowed collaborative political corruption across party lines to run so deep that passing Freedom Of Information legislation is totally impossible because too many of the so-called "elite" would end up in prison where they belong!
**"WHAT IF"** we the people took the next voting opportunity to say enough is enough and did **whatever it takes** to get rid of the PLP and FNM, demand 60 years of political accountability and change the course of our country to actually benefit Bahamians?
**"WHAT IF"** is a loaded question that speaks volumes!
**finally.** This is the best news for the year. I don't know who Mr. Adrian Francis is, but he has my 100% support!
Bahamians have to be the most long-suffering and giving people in the world to have allowed successive governments to facilitate illegal Haitians migrating to the Bahamas and disenfranchise them of jobs, education, business opportunities, health care, social services, security, and only GOD himself knows what else.
Illegal Haitian migrants have had free reign to destroy our country and are quickly dragging us down to Haiti status. Illegals are worse than parasites and legal Haitians are enablers.
I would love to help, contribute, and join Operation Sovereign Bahamas!
Someone needs to ask Mr. Adrian Francis to post his contacts here so interested Bahamians can become involved.
A couple of things need to be clarified. Firstly, is the Bahamas government still rewarding illegal Haitian migrants $300.00 each for being caught and deported?
Secondly, which of the three previous jackass prime ministers thought it was a good idea to give illegal Haitians the equivalent of a year's salary in Haiti for being caught breaking our immigration laws?
This is a good example of why we need a freedom of information act to keep these self-serving politicians inline!
Lastly, when will this government stop pussyfooting around and focus on stopping the demand for illegals by punishing businesses for hiring them?
golden Isles MP Vaughn Miller needs to do more than disagree that Town Center Mall isn't the best location for relocating the post office. He needs to either offer comparable alternatives or shut up.
Most people find Mr. Symonette anti-Black Bahamian, reprehensible and self-serving at best, however, due to its logistics, Town Center Mall is by far the best logical location for the main post office.
Very interesting happenings in the House. One cannot help wondering how many more FNM MP's are on the verge of crossing the floor for one reason or the other!
This is stupid. Why the hell are they speeding up the solarisation of the Family Islands when New Providence is in dire need of sustainable, affordable, power solutions?
The government and IDB should be concentrating on lowering power bills in the capital so as to stimulate jobs and growth!
WTF? Obie Ferguson still around rattling swords and making threats? This man has done nothing but talk for years. No wonder the unions are in stalemates, this guy must be getting some serious lotion to keep the unions in line for government.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Mr. Dionisio D’Aguilar can stand around throwing numbers and stats around all he likes. It is all absolutely useless for the Bahamas cruise passengers to increase unless D’Aguilar also figures out how to get these "increased" cruise passengers off the ships and spending money in the local economy!
D’Aguilar and the ministry of tourism need to stop blowing hot air at us and find ways of encouraging cruise passengers to get off the ships.
