TROY, dont know where you live in the world .......... but the part of The Bahamas where I live is better than anywhere else in the world ...... and it aint Nassau. For those of you who believe The Bahamas is Nassau .............. am sorry to disappoint you all
Its only a matter of time before the Canadian banks cut their losses and leave The Bahamas and the Caribbean .......................... the legalization of the numbers bosses is the last nail in the coffin.
The PLP government is public enemy #1 to Freeport and GB ............. before and now and in the future. Never mind the MOGB ................. thats an affront to good governance.
What if she was behaving badly and had to be subdued? Immigration officers can exercise justifiable force like police officers ........... this is her story.
The reason I use those cities as comparisons is because I am a realist ............ when we look at our national statistics we are compared with countries of similar international standards of education, health and economy (not just GDP per capita) ............ we are a developing country NOT a developed (First World) country.
For us to make a radical difference in our national statistics it will take a serious commitment to a truly National Development Plan (like China). We will have to wait and see what Perry puts forward.
That is not a good comparison ........... the murder rates in most developed countries are low and their education standards are high. They usually just have a few nutcases who go on rampages once in a while.
Compare our murder rates with Kingston (Jamaica), Port of Spain (Trinidad), Lagos (Nigeria) ..... or New Orleans, Atlanta or Detroit (black American cities) ................................ but not a white First World city
Here we go again ......................... this girl is NOT Bahamian until she legally obtains a Bahamian passport ................ she was born here to Haitian parents (she is Haitian).
She may have residency status ............... but our education system did not help her there.
