The final yea or nay on baby citizenship must be part on the mother ..... who for 9 months have to endure some the following..... heartburn,... morning sickness,... bleeding gums, ...constipation, ...fainting, ...varicose veins, ...vaginal discharges,...backpains,...fevers,...tiredness,...urge to go to bathroom visits,...trying to fit in car, etcetc and the wanting to eat icecream and sardines in the middle of the night. This should be moreso specially if the male who impregnated the female out of wedlock is not around.

No male allegedly being the father of the baby being carried for all the months of pregnancy by female and wid back pains, vaginal discharges, above mentioned etc should have male, the leading figure more than that of the carrying pregnant unwed mother.

.......er, and to read therafter of the Bahamian Officials going back across the ocean to the former colonial rulers after all dese years.... to find out who the Bahamian citizen is.

Weeeeell mudda tek sic,...tens of thousands...should apply for their passport and voter's card....Looks like plenty, plenty, plenty more chairs for citizens and accompanying children, their children, everybody grandchildren attendees for few weeks away upcoming Independence celebrations.

Muddoes dred, looks like there will to be more chairs, seating arrangements on Fort Charlotte as tens of thousands more wearing their Bahamian colours with pride and waving their flags behind the top Bahamian Govt Officials, Bahamian dignitaries, distinguished guests.

Errybody...singing in toppest ceremony of annual Celebration of National Independence of the sovereign and independent nation. Looking forward to looking at the tv monitor at site past film clips as the Union Jack flag is lowered in reverence an the Bahamian flag rises in steadfast dignity an pride, our beloved sovereign an independent nation.

If numerous Bahamian Court rulings have determined the land belongs to the owner(s), then the lawyer should have the respect to abide by the Court of the Bahamas. Last time years ago the owner(s)'s fence on the property was destroyed and police involved.

Currently, the Labour lawyer and Unionist mentioning that a "protest' a "very, very strong possibility" over the bridge where the owner(s)/investor(s) property is is wrong, knowing the Bahamas Court ruling and past incident. If there is any wrongs by the owner(s)/investor(s) from the onset, then the police should have immediately called on the scene and the matter taken from there. The police should still be there to ensure the laws are not broken.

This protest taking matters into their hands by protestors, towards owne(r)/investor(s), going over the bridge to owner(s)/investor(s) property for sole intention of their concerns is unwarranted and obviously puts fear into owner(s)/investor(s) is wrong. The rightful and more appropriate and authorized protest should be in the direction of the Politicians/Legislators and commomplace Rawson Square in front of Parliament.

The country is dependent on foreign investors and the 250M investment needs to be discussed by parties concerned for amicable compromise.

The previous downtown Pointe Hotel of some 250M project was a some 8 storey condominium/ hotel rooms and areas for businesses employing Bahamians. The Pointe project was creating some 500 permanent jobs for Bahamians. The Pointe Hotel was negotiated by the previous PLP govt. And the incoming FNM Govt also went into discussions and now hotel to employ more Bahamians.

Current plans on Paradise Island investor project in news is proposed by the now Opposition PLP leader sidefor current FMN Govt to "acquire the land in beach dispute".
Seems that in dese times commonsense should be learning about the proposed investor full plans etc putting the 250M investment project for condominiums/ hotel rooms etc permanent Bahamian jobs? for discussions, is needed, stead of sabotaging the project immediately after a few days in the news.

Surely dere ought to be existing Laws on people tieffing and people receiving etcetc.
Instead of politicians wasting hundreds of manhours crafting, debating yaddering by salaried govt persons seems more constructive is to first creating means ie more police vehicles, officers, more surveillance, investigations etc an start catching the culprits.

@Thisisours, go to the head of the class on your last para. Indeed the wealthy can turn out to be generous doners, to suitable causes and having pamper parties. Indeed which alternating govt of politicians would make the better decisions.

@bonefish.....above I said first before you ."..system needed to be scrapped and restarted wid international Appraisers..." ........and you saying Tyler Technologies ( as international) company let go and restarted . Sceeeeech. And yes these Tax reforms bin from downstairs Finco House and onwards to Nassau Court with challenges wid the 50k owner occupied exempltions massive paperwork and limited overworked staff.

Seems the entire Real Property Tax system needed to be scrapped and restarted wid international Appraisers to inspect every property. Plentiful stories with discreptancies on valuations, on expensive ones seems undervalued, some over valued, seems influenced by who they are, etc. Looking at over some 10,000 homes in subdivisions created by alternating govts. and populated by people leaving homes in older city needs to be examined for renters moving in which makes these homes commercial and RPT applied. RPT must apply to all these homes split up for rental efficiencies, garages converted etc unknown by RPT people owners not doing the Declaration of Real Property secret changes alternations, even those in shantytowns homes and businesses with extremely low cost rental situation enriching someone etcetc.. Apart from paying taxes, taxes, there should also be Tax Credits to lower RPT taxes for investors,, commercial developers to construct in certain areas for benefits the govt desires city planning growth for people ie low cost rentals units etcetc.

Who is the salaried MP for these Abaco areas ???
