I whole heartily agree! Unfortunately successive Bahamian governments starting with Pindling have discouraged or plain run off many of the best and bright the Bahamas has ever produced. Whether it's in the name of Bahamianization or to benefit their cronies, politicians would rather see the Bahamas stagnate then allow true experts and leaders to succeed because it risks them losing their power and status. So tens of thousands of Bahamians have left and become successful entrepreneurs, highly sought educators, leaders in their industries, etc. around the world with no real opportunity to help in the development of the Bahamas.
Maybe one day we will learn to stop voting for the same failures and have a government that encourages us to develop into our potential socially, economically, and politically.
