Now that the customer had to have money to go for all the way to the Supreme Court for the Bahamas government's bank to have an obvious Government bank correct the obvious error, then what would happen to those government bank officials responsible?

Why should the BISX bank continue unless drastic measures taken and this to appear in the Supreme Court and in the world financial analysts, financial ratings agencies, international data collection etc and history Archives?

While in this case a wrong was done in the first case and to then reveal by the country's Supreme Court that the second wrong was done by the government bank to the customer is shameful and worse.

Isn't there a Fire Fighting boat owned by the authorities of The Commonwealth of the Bahamas to contain and extinguish any fires on board of the seems hundreds of vessels tied up in the Port Nassau Harbour?

Perhaps a stationed Fire Fighting Boat could also be of assistance to the nearby Restaurants and Food areas, stores with flamable goods etc.. next to the Prince George Harbour front as those buildings or as a matter of fact are really old structures with old wooden roofs, rafters and if one catches fire then a good portion of our beloved Capital city could be rendered operationally.

Isn't there (1) ONE Fire Hydrant near to the fire?

While the visitors might not be affected, the greatest concern is the amounts of PMH critical care medical professionals who tend to reside in nearby residence accommodations like the destroyed apartments now have to deal with them being homeless.
Its the medical care of the Bahamian patients and the medical personnel personnel and residents who lost their residence which is the important issue.

Had a subsidized hostel built and been utilized, there could have shelter for the personnel. Had there have been repurposing the then Collins House to assist family island family with patient flown in, then some of those rooms could have used to keep the important care medical professionals near their patients. Somewhere in the early 70's the political visionaries in the govt saw the future need to expand the PMH and purchased the Collins House with its 6 acres to expand PMH.

When were the evacuation procedures been practiced by the nearby PMH, our nation's main hospital? Are there any evacuation drills? Fire drills? Hurricane winds safety controls? Storm surge danger controls?

The enormous fire as seen by the photos was a threat to all nearby structures including the nearby PMH which is a very old structure with hundreds of patients and staff. Thank goodness the winds and fire were going in the other direction.

Start firing tax payers paying salaries for those employees of this inability to have proper adequate water to put out the fire and endangering the nearby PMH, Princess Margaret Hospital with patients, staff and critical importance to our beloved Bahamaland.

Start firing those responsible as we dread to what would have happened to the nearby massive Commonwealth of the Bahamas Public Princess Margaret Hospital if embers were blown a few hundred feet away to the Princess Margaret Haspital housing hundreds of patients confined to beds --- patients of the nation requirine medicines constantly fron the Pharmacy --- PMH Critical CareEmmergency Section --- and any damage that nearby uncontrolled fires couls pose.

No bones about this situation, start firing those govt officials responsible that could have caused a threat to our beloved Bahamaland's nearby main Princess Margaret Hospital.

On the matter of putting ads on taxis is the tiny space on a quick moving vehicle to be effective and putting wrap around ads on large jitneys is that the jitneys are confined to using the select confined routes to certain areas.

The tendency of jitneys moving at well known insane speeds and highly questionable driving skills that any business person who would want to place an ad on a jitney is limited to a small group, but may appeal especially select if their business might have some connecting inclination to the behaviour and dangerous performance of the jitney.

You have very good comments.

What should also be discussed on the national levels is the costs to our Bahamaland in that the disintegration of the Bahamian social glue of customs and language has created disruptions in the stability of the nation. Our beloved nation has streets where we once raised for 18 plus years of little boys and girls with pigtails and ribbons tied in bows and boys with shiny little shoes saying good morning and now have total new populations with totally different cultures, language and loyalties.

Now what is facing the nation is the realistic request just like Quebec is to now have the Constitutional rights of significant majority of the population to have the language be designated bi-lingual and all information be bi-lingual.

Pointless to have the world known documentation of the bi-lingual language in the Bahamas already documented and the authorities faking it that it is not necessary, as we all know it is now been bestowed on the nation by the forces in the nation to be so in reality.

It is time that there are forums, public discussions on the Bahamianism cultures and values and the national pride which with the once commonly known and the then continuously daily saying "its better in the Bahamas"

The authorities from decades have the information of the growth of our Bahamaland and must have been planning for the provision of critical services expected, common sense.

In raising a child from birth to graduation was mentioned of being in excess of quarter of a million dollars from resources generated in the Bahamas.

Over the years of thousands of Bahamians then moving off to other countries is a catastrophe in losing a massive amount of cream of the crop that is produced in and from the Bahamas.

Quite a national embarrassment that no realistic sustained efforts to stop the massive hemorrhaging of national talents and future development and stability and growth of national pride, when the quite glaring obvious choice of our top students is to find another country to have a better life.

Quite bewildering when our Bahamaland top athletes win medals they are rewarded with money and land ----- and if our Bahamaland graduated nursing and doctors then why aren't these vital medical Bahamians not given at least some Crown land on some islands?
Didn't one of the Prime Ministers with the researched data ----- revealed that Bahamian professionals have difficulty in obtaining land and also had created a stamp duty construction formula for their homes to be constructed?

To keep extremely valuable qualified Bahamians to remain in the Bahamas, just give incentives as free beachfront or beach access Crown land in the family islands to build houses etc and grow the areas. It would be a win situation to use skills gained from Bahamian dollars to be used locally, a win situation for the ill population, a win for the politicians ----- instead of keeping land for giveaway prices to family, friends and lovers.

It is a shame face situation and quite disturbing to see Bahamians forced to run away for a better life and family and friends encourage them to do so in their best interests while nothing substantive done, or at least anything ----- anything at all ------- even a piece of the tens of thousands of Crown land -----tp keep them here.. And quite appalling to continue to see foreign workers have to come from across the ocean to do the work at cheaper labour.
