Minnis, his flock of paid-off sheep, political cronies and Disney cohorts should hang their heads in shame. This is the single most sickening display of 'selling your soul' I have ever witnessed in this country, yes, this is a nation for sale, a nation where shameful politicos have run a muck for decades and with no punishment. But this, this is the most blatant display of disrespect, and he did it to his own people. I hope Karma is real, because its time that Karma-bitch needs to lay down some lessons on these thieves, lock them all up, this is criminal.
It is a crime against the whole nation and a crime that will be felt forevermore by generations of Bahamians. They will mock his shortsighted greed, and any accolades he puts on himself now, will be stripped off in the future. (National hero my foot!) He should know better and if he is truly this clueless, he should not be in any position of power.
Look to places like Costa Rica. Now They REALLY appreciate their environment, and make big Bucks because they have protected it. They're CLEVER, yes, they Get It. This beach is not just another pretty beach, this is a place people ask for their ashes to be spread, it stirs their soul. It is quite literally one of a kind, it is beyond any other beach in the nation, it should never, ever be developed, if it had any type of hard-scape or man-made modern structure in eye shot, its whole value and Worth would be GONE in an instant, Never to be repaired. You certainly couldn't fix what Disney wants to do, when they leave it, even if if you spent billions trying to repair it. (and they will abandon it one day, they always do)
You have to experience the place to understand why people love it, so go now before its gone for good.
@BahamaRed and maybe a cell phone? I really think cell phone use is adding to the increase in fatalities. I see people on their phones every single day.
My deepest condolences to the family this is tragic.
Don't eat conch (or ANY other shellfish) in summer.
They really should ban selling conch salad in summer, the water gets too hot and bacteria thrives.
Conch salad in-particular is susceptible to bacterial growth because of the added Raw salad ingredients.
Anyone with a weak immune system or anyone who values their kidneys (yes that is all of us!) should stay away from all conch in hot summer months. (Raw and cooked)
Governments balls have finally dropped! Growing up, its not about popularity, its about the doing what is right taking control and acting on what needs fixing for the Greater GOOD!
Lets see if actions follow these words, it could really be the thing that gets the Bahamas to turn around!
Start with the big boys first, and No Cronyism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FFS are we insane!!?? Have you seen the state of Clifton Piers power plant? We cant maintain a simple power plant never mind a deadly gas and explosive product like LNG!!! Plus BEC / BPL it sits exposed to the elements, ravaged by hurricanes, its an environmental mess, leaking oil into the sea and it has not been fixed in decades!
An LNG plant by the corrosive sea air...this is just asking for trouble, beyond Stupid on all levels.
Why do these money grubbing idiots seem to want to destroy this god given paradise? Pure GREED for a FEW to get rich, this will not help the majority of people, but the majority will be the ones that suffer the consequences.
People are walking away from churches (with their wallets) and that scares them. It is all a feeble attempt to stay relevant, they're always bastardizing the authentic bible/recognized-religious text to suit their self-serving (fear laced) misogynistic, propaganda and puffery. Trying to convince people they are helping them!? Hogwash! It is an insult to our intelligence. It is obvious most of them are pathetic egomaniacs who not-so-secretly simply hate strong-willed women.
They need to get some humility and to go back to doing what true church leaders are supposed to do, and Help People. But I doubt they will, they only want the cars, cuff-links, self appointed 'Bishop' titles and adoration from the meek and lowly who worship them (& not God!). Just pay attention- What their mouth says, their actions will always give away their real agendas.
YES! Good for them, don't know what took them so long. I feel like joining them as I too am affected, however they have the worst of it. Sue the previous administrations too, they have let the people down, they all promised to take care of the mess and they failed over and over again.
DDK You are correct! and far too sensible to really think that the 'civil' 'service' (an Oxymoron if ever there was!) could actually 'act accordingly' if only they did! Then most of our social issues wouldn't even exist.
The Bahamas two biggest problems = 1. People not doing the job they are supposed to be and 2. lack of law enforcement and accountability.

Its so obvious Baha Mar was stolen away from Izmirlian.
I hope he gets the hotel back and full retribution and compensation.
Someone should make a documentary about this whole farce.
