@Voitaire--- As much as i understand what you are saying and don't agree fully with this Oban deal, let take a look at ourselves as bahamians. 1. Take away the foreign led entities in the Bahamas and see how many bahamian owned businesses we have in this country. All the major hotels are owned by foreigners with bahamians working as bellmen, janitors, housekeepers etc. 2. What are the people with money in the Bahamas investing in this country -- absolutely nothing. 3. Let UB or some other polling entity conduct a survey into how many bahamians are working for bahamian companies in the Bahamas and I am sure the results will show about 5%. 4. Check out the fish fry -- How many of those food eateries are owned/ran by bahamians -- 1% with 99% haitians 5. Which nationality owns the majority of food stores in the country-- Chinese 6. Which nationality own the majority of used car lots in the Bahamas -- Africans 5. Who owns most of the banks in the Bahamas -- Canadians 6. Who owns the sea and airports in grand Bahama. Hutchinson Whompoa 7. Who manages the airport -- Foreign 8. Who runs the vegetable stalls around potters cay and elsewhere with the exception of Laura -- Haitians 9. Who do the Governments call for consultation -- Foreigners 10. Who do we buy from -- Foreigners 11. Where do the cars we drive come from -- Foreign 12. Where do the oil/gas we use in our vehicles come from -- Foreign 13. Where do the food we eat come from -- Foreign 14. Where do the clothes we wear comes from --Foreign 15. Where oh where did we come from -- Foreign 16. Who do bahamians use to do their landscaping -- Foreign 17. Who do bahamians use to do their construction and carpentry --- Foreigners
SOO stop importing all the things I mention above and see how long we will survive.
Foreign Dependent for life until you and I make a change The only industry we own in this country is the fishing industry.
SOOO after all of this, I have come to the conclusion that we are sooo dependent on foreign that we can't help ourselves other than to work for them.
To be honest with you. ***If it is to get rid of that graveyard that's there now (the car dump) I am all for that.*** What is worst?. The oil and transmission fluids going into the water table or the dust from the embalmed bodies?. I will go with the dust from the embalmed bodies any day. At least the area would be beautified hopefully with proper landscaping etc as opposed to the unsightly piles of garbage from the junk yard. ***Why don't the lawyer (Ferguson) and Ms. Eldon start a petition against the junk yard that is right in their front door on Adderley Street. If they frequent that area/street then they would understand the pain I feel when having to pass that way everyday hoping that no crazy person is on that small road driving stupid. As they may be aware, there is no where on that road to veer off to because the cars are placed in the road. I will support that one 100% + 10. Lets get that one started first.*** " I live in the Johnson Road area and knew nothing about this meeting. And She added: “(A cemetery) will open up a window for more criminal activity for the area in which I live.” Explain Ms. Eldon.

7. (1) A person born in The Bahamas after 9th July 1973 neither of whose parents is a citizen of The Bahamas shall be entitled, upon making application on his attaining the age of eighteen years or within twelve months thereafter in such manner as may be prescribed, to be registered as a citizen of The Bahamas:
***Did not say legal (persons who are here working etc) or illegal (those who came by boats/planes etc who did not come through the legal channels.). This is the loophole in our constitution.***
Chapter II includes Articles 3 to 14 and addresses citizenship, specifically who shall become citizens of The Bahamas on July 10, 1973. It goes to great pains to delineate the rights of persons to become Bahamian citizens who are born in the former Colony of the Bahama Islands as well as persons who, on July 9, 1973, were born outside the Colony of the Bahama Islands and were citizens of the United Kingdom and colonies, but lived in the newly-formed Bahamas.
Chapter II also addresses the rights of persons to become citizens who are naturalized as well as the rights of persons to become Bahamian citizens who, on July 9, 1973, possessed “Bahamian status” under the Immigration Act of 1967 and were ordinarily resident in the Bahama Islands. They were “entitled upon making application before July 10, 1974 to be registered as a citizen of The Bahamas.”
Chapter II further provides for persons who are born inside and outside The Bahamas after July 9, 1973. For example, Article 8 of this Chapter specifically provides that “a person born outside The Bahamas after July 9, 1973 shall become a citizen… on the date of his birth, if at that date his father is a citizen of The Bahamas otherwise than by virtue of this article or Article 3(2) of this constitution.”
There are clearly defined provisions for the right to citizenship for women who are married to Bahamian citizens after July 9, 1973, as well as provisions for the deprivation and renunciation of citizenship.
I think the police should have been commended for the warning to junkanoo goers especially females to dress appropriately. Nothing in that warning is incorrect nor offensive. When questioned by police as to why they may have touched the person/s inappropriately, the response would be, they were dressed for touching, not that it is right. See it like this, If you park your car with an iphone 8 or laptop or anything valuable on the dashboard, seat or anywhere visible, don't you think a thief passing by would not be tempted to break into the car and steal those personal belongings. It is the same temptation being displayed by dressing inappropriately for those weak folks and those who overcoming those temptations.
