This is the advantage of having businessmen in Cabinet .......... but not in the OPM.
Hanna-Martin had two cracks at this FAA deal and did not get it done. DD will get it done.
DD is doing a great job ...... so far. $40 million is better than nothing at this time.

HonestTruth ........... have you seen or experienced a Brazilian Carnival stadium??? .......... It will blow your mind to imagine Junkanoo in one of them.

And they hold up to 200,000 spectators ......... We can build one for 10,000.

**The PLP built the beach soccer stadium for who knows how much**

So true .......... FIFA is full of a bunch of crooks ...... Some BFA locals too. Most of these local associations are only sponging off the Government for trips ................ The only two viable sports venues right now are the swimming pool and the basketball gym ....... the Track Stadium is a white elephant as well ....... God knows what is going on with baseball/softball, golf, cricket, car track, etc.

But a Junkanoo stadium will build a cultural industry and attract a local/tourist crowd 24/7/365. Just replicate a 1000ft Bay Street with built in seating and that will be magic!!!!!

I did say ....... all year-round commercial parades. That is how Junkanoo can become a viable year-round industry as compared to what exists today with Barabbas and Educulture ........ Why is every Junkanoo group clamouring for Crown Land????? .......... Sorry, you are just shortsighted.

What did Hendfield do on the RBDF for 30 years????? ........ Did he really fight poaching on the frontline or was he an Office paper pusher?????? ........... He does not appear as credible, connected, and knowledgeable of the plight of Bahamian fishermen. poaching, and the RBDF as Dames with crime (RBPF).

**I say this respectfully, in 1995 me and my family left Nassau because of the 3 C's, the crime, the cars, and the crowd. 23 years later, it was a good move. Nassau will get no better, we sing the same song and dance every year, blame the police, blame the politician, get our houses all barred up, but I promise you nothing will change**

That's your words in another Tribune story, TigerB ................ SMH

You have nothing to worry about ....... you safe, far away from this "shithole"

Junkanoo was never meant to be commercialized on Bay Street ....... that is sacrilege.

The Government and the JCNP needs to invest in a Brazil-style Carnival stadium to host commercial parades year round and create a 12-day Christmas Junkanoo Fest (like Carnival).

Who in the hell in Nassau is trying to meet the triple digit murder quota???
This is really distressing.

What a joke ........... 90% of Bahamian children either run or play basketball ...... but they have to put a few butts in the empty stadium ....... Make sure give them a snack and a drink too.
