Bahamas is a hot place with beaches that people like to go to for a few days of vacation.
In the global marketplace, the Bahamas is nothing.... when will Bahamians realize this? We have failed to become a nation that controls its destiny and are still completely reliant of foreign business and investments. The development of our islands is closely linked to tourism, with tourist areas being the first to be developed, and the priority in terms of maintenance. What great contributions has the Bahamas made to the world? Why is our ego so inflated?
No one has to come to us for business!!!! If they want a hot vacation spot, there is the REST of the Caribbean, in this respect we're not even special or unique. So why should we even entertain the idea that the PM can sit in his ivory tower and business and investors will flock to his greatness?!?!
Oh yeah, i forgot, just look at how international investors are fighting over Purchasing Bahamar.... Obviously our country is a hot commodity!
What did Lady P do for the Bahamas then OR NOW?!?!?! she holds an empty title in the Gov't.
What about Pindling?! Fada of the Nation? Ya boy was in with the Kartels. This is a widely known fact.
But that's PLP reasoning, Papa is FNM so he musse gotta wear rags and kiss ass, but if ya PLP den you can free load and teef to ya hearts content and this is OK. This is consistently the message from PLP supporters.
Lady P has absolutely no qualifications for her "job", no vision for the country now nor for the future, and is not particularly educated or even street smart.
she represents the queen for god sakes!!!!! and y'all is be talking bout white slave masters.... this is she right friggen here!!!!!!!
i ein a fan of Papa, but in his "short" term he did wayyyyy more for the Bahamas than Both Pindlings throughout the entirety of history.... Think on that and release how shameful it is for Pindling that he was in power from MUCH longer than Papa, and accomplished ALOT less for the country!!!!!
Please slap everyone in the Gov't for this. It should have never happened again after the inaugural failure. This time round, thing look like it dun fail in the planning stage.
They had a whole year to develop a strategy and a plan. From long time they should have been setting up the stage acts, vendors, ADs for tourist (the whole argument of why this thing even exists).
Instead it's a next half azzed bunch a non-sense. Three months and no budget, not act schedule, and internationally, ein no one knows about this thing in the bahamas!!!!
more Tourist know about Junkanoo and Regatta than this fool!!!! and the lack of planning (translating into the lack of advertising) will keep Tourist ignorant of this supposed cultural event.
The priorities seem clear to me. Set up ya nice kick back, "mis-allocate" a bunch of the unknown funds allocated to this event into personal pockets, and laugh all the way to the bank as y'all tell we y'all need more Loans for hurricane relief, road works, developments etc etc etc etc.
Seriously, this is so criminal. Any a y'all go jump up at dis thing just know you are celebrating Bahamian oppression!!!! have fun!
QUOTE - When asked about the issue yesterday, Mr Wells told Star 106.5 FM radio host Jeffrey Lloyd that he only said he thought Mr Lightbourn’s views were “racist.”
Bey dis bey fool or what? Lightbourne cited that "persons (over the hill) were so poor that they could not even pay their light bills, they needed more than tax free zones for businesses that they could not afford to create."
He says persons are so poor...... NOT that persons are so Black!!!!
How is a comment on the economic standing of a geographically (not racially or ethnically or socially) related people racist?
I would say Mr. Wells is the racist with his knee jerk accusations
Yes there is always double standards. Agreed. And i agree also that the Colonial Effect is a big part of our collective broken thinking here in the Bahamas. But the specific Bahamian Reality is that most people in the country are black, most of the politicians and police are black, and most of the judiciary is black. so why are certain people in our society so ready to accuse 'whites' for our problems or of being racist?
In our day and age the colonial masters have been replaced by 'our own kind' and they continue to oppress us. Fact is, White people took us from Africa to be slaves.... but it was our own African people who captured us and sold us into slavery. the Europeans didn't cut cross country capturing us... By the same token, white Europeans didn't only subjugate people of 'colour' but also their one another... hence why so many Europeans LEFT Europe for the "new world'.... to escape oppression.
Which bring me back to - People are People.
I recall the Hotel Manager who was deported because he was rude to Bahamians (aka blacks). This was a point of considerable outrage on behalf of many locals because we're like who is this to treat us badly!!! white oppressors..... yet how much of our own local Bosses of 'colour' treat us like crap and somehow this is just the status quo....
