One thing is for sure, the FNM party is kaput for as long as Minnis and Culmer are allowed to remain in any way involved in its affairs.

Watson and Davis must take the Bahamian people to be fools. Shortening the term of the proposed outrageous lease arrangement will do nothing to solve the many problems associated with letting Royal Caribbean take control of this Crown Land on Paradise Island. And there needs to be a full and proper investigation by a special commission independent of government into all of the following:

1) The role played by senior officials of Royal Caribbean in instigating and 'negotiating' such an atrociously corrupt lease arrangement with the previous Minnis led FNM administration.

2) The role played by Hubert Minnis, Dionsio D'Aguilar, Carl Bethel and 'Dr.' Michael Scott in the 'negotiations' with senior officials of Royal Caribbean that were fully intended to allow such an outrageously corrupt lease agreement to be purportedly approved.

3) The role played by other senior government officials in various departments and agencies who signed the many documents and agreements purporting to have 'legalized' such a grossly unfair and one-sided 'give-away' lease arrangement that is so diametrically opposed to the interests of our nation and the Bahamian people.

4) The circumstances under which Royal Caribbean 'in the dark of night' managed to go about stealthily buying the 13+ acres of Crown Land on the western end of Paradise Island that it already supposedly owns with the approval of both the last Christie led PLP government and the previous Minnis led FNM government.

Prima facie this purported lease deal is steeped in corruption of the worst possible kind and, accordingly, it must immediately be declared void ad initio by the Davis led PLP government. The necessary special commission independent of government must be expeditiously established to fully investigate, root out and hold accountable all senior government and Royal Caribbean officials who played a significant role in the outrageously corrupt acts that sought to attempt to legitimize such an atrocious lease deal with absolutely no regard for the interests of the Bahamian people.

Nothing short of the above would adequately serve the interests of our small nation and the Bahamian people.

You obviously haven't had much experience in trying to sell shares at BISX listed prices. There's little or no liquidity in the market for shares listed on BISX. If you ever need to sell your shares on an urgent basis, for whatever reason, you can count on having to take a major haircut on the BISX price to make it happen. And let's not forget that many of the listings have a controlling shareholder directly involved in managing the listed enterprise which means you're along for whatever ride that 'managing shareholder' chooses to allow you to have.

*The bank’s directors include former PLP chairman, attorney Raynard Rigby; ex-FNM Senator under the last administration, Lisa Bostwick; **and James Smith, former minister of state for finance and Central Bank governor.***

Small wonder Lucayas Bank never stood a chance of making good on its pledge just eight months ago that it would become “a standard bearer” for the jurisdiction. James Smith of all people! LMAO

Rock solid commentary here from a relatively young banker who clearly seems to know his stuff and is doing a superb job at managing the expectations of all stakeholders in Fidelity Bank. Under Mr. Bowe's leadership, Fidelity is quickly becoming a formidable force to be reckoned with in the commercial banking sector. Meanwhile competitors like Commonwealth Bank have fallen victim to the financial woes of serious missteps made early on in managing the many challenging risks associated with the pandemic.

The Tribune has become a most disgusting and disgraceful tabloid that seeks to prey on the weakest and most vulnerable among us by publicizing their misery to make a buck for its financial stakeholders. These stories can and should be told without mentioning the names of those who have been so cruelly and brutally victimized. Shame on The Tribune for being so exploitative!

Roberts is an old fart and windbag who probably doesn't even know that these mRNA vaccines are not for everyone. Only the most vulnerable among us based on advanced age, a very high obesity index and other grave pre-existing medical conditions should seriously consider getting vaccinated and boosted every 6 months or so for the rest of their lives.

The rest of us should accept that developing natural immunity is likely the best course of action given that these mRNA vaccines have no lasting effect beyond 6 months or so, and come with many great risks for the vaccinated that are only now beginning to manifest themselves and be understood.

Roberts was once a shrewd and cunning businessman who didn't need to give the government of the day much notice. Now it seems he must curry favour with government anyway he possibly can just to stay in business, even if it means pushing jabs on everyone. Sad to see him stooping to new all time lows.

Do you even know that YouTube is owned by that very sinister and evil enterprise known as Google or Google Alphabet? They heavily filter just about everything that comes your way to the paint the picture they want you to see and give you the narrative they want you to hear. Think of all Google products, especially Google Search, as modern day brainwashing of the worst kind by another name. LOL
