What if he hoodwinked her to use her for trafficking. There are many Bahamian men who import foreign women for nefarious deeds? See how sick and demented that sounds?
Check your head fella.

You should be arrested and charged for criminal incitement.
Don't you realize the Bahamas is the new Haiti?
You Tourism deck of cards has exposed the fickleness of the economy ,and will likely not recover for a generation, Bahamians getting free food because they don't farm, Yet you have strength for Haitians.
Don't waste your time telling me about Jamaica and this and that. Its a much better place than the Bahamas, at least to me.

You all need to show a little humility.

jamaicaproud says...

You should add the Bahamas to the list. Do you see the food lines? What do you know about Africa. Your type of Christianity is fake and caustic

Unless they can cite a specific instance of persecution, they needs to go.
1. Cameroon is in West Africa.
2. In Cameroon there is Sectarian stuff, but not t the point where there is even a refugee crisis in West Africa.

You are correct. No respectable country allows such.
It's really legalised money laundering, as most people who are inclined to do such, by the very act show they have a tendency to take shortcuts.
I hope your own situation has been resolved as it is an atrocity that the child of a citizen of any country can be denied same.

On Citizenship by investment?

From a business perspective this makes sense. However I suspect the writer expects "Third world countries" not to have standards during this pandemic. When his "concerns" are Juxtaposed against the fact that Many Canadian Provinces and major cities have instituted draconian Covid restrictions, why does he want easy movement in the sea and sun?

The only Caribbean destination that is recklessly allowing visitors without common sense measures is Dominican Republic.

I know tourism is bread and butter, but must not be an escape route for people who want to escape common sense rules in their own countries.

Investing and ultimately becoming a. Citizen is different than citizenship by investments.
The latter is a method used by criminals and money Launderers to wash stolen gains, and to get easy Visa access to USA and Canada. It is dubious.

We need to stop looking at this is a Non Bahamian or Bahamian thing. It really does not matter as these things have implications for everyone.
Whether its oil drilling in Bahama land or Bauxite mining in Jamaica in a protected area, its all the same.

Even if Trillions and billions are earned, and even if there were to be(though not possible) zero environmental impact. There is the issue of dislocation. Moving whole communities and the dislocation and disruption to the social fabric. Exploration causes dislocation and dislocation causes forced migration to population centers and other countries. Few people benefit from the proceeds of these activities. and the wealth is always repatriated(that is if it ever arrives).

It really madness for a low lying archipelago to be going down this path.

Then there is the politics of this issue. The real reason for the conflict in countries in Venezuela, is not communism or stolen elections, its the fact that foreign entities would like to take the oil without paying for it, in other words drill and ship. Smaller countries with oil are normally bullied into this arrangement. Its like you having a mango orchard and a guy comes and pays you to pick your own mangoes. He pays for your labor but not the fruit.

Respectfully I want to read technical reports nit News press releases which are unscutinuzed and sanitized.

You have good, intelligent and rational arguments.
I was telling my wife last night, I dont trust no miracle vaccine because one hallmark of good medicine is testing for long term effects.
They claim 95 % but we dont know sample size, sample pool, diversity nothing.
As for the United States, I am here at the moment. The spread is simple. Many people have been suckered into the political game. So they refuse to wear masks to prove a point. There is also one particular immigrant demographic that statistically refuse to wear masks and protection. No precaution is 100% but mitigation over recklessness is better.
In other words its not about lockdowns, but the people using common sense as they go around.
