See what ya looking at - it’s critical

Years ago, a good friend and unassuming Bahamian icon/philosopher used to opine “see what ya lookin’ at”! This simple, yet profound, pronouncement could readily find interpretations across a wide spectrum of past and present situations affecting our beloved Bahamaland today. See what ya lookin’ at. It’s critical!

How can we create opportunity?

What areas can The Bahamas look at to create new job opportunities for Bahamians, particularly youth?

Imagine the difference

We have a lot of people who complain.

RCL and PI proposal

As a nature lover, I would like to express my feelings on the current debate over RCL’s development of a Beach Club on the Western end of Paradise Island. First of all, I totally agree with the fears of the various environmentalists. Opinions of expert environmentalists such as Joseph Darville should not be ignored. Who are the members of the Environmental Commission? What are their qualifications?

National symbols

Ministry of National Security correctly, especially with the 50th anniversary, puts out a warning concerning the use of the National Crest and other symbols of the State.

What is true role of UN?

After reading today’s Tribune edition, Monday May 1, 2023 and a story, the top story ‘Nation to answer over human rights,’ and how it suggests that the Government’s position on key issues will be under scrutiny by the UN Council.’

Golf course shows bi-partisan hope

The recent announcement of a new one-of-a-kind 18-hole Jack Nicklaus golf course in Jacks Bay, Eleuthera, was refreshing and heartening, but not for the usual economic reasons although those are also very important.

Why we need Freedom of the Press

ON December 17, 1986, journalist Guillermo Cano Isaza was assassinated in front of the offices of his newspaper, El Espectador, in my home country of Colombia. He was targeted because of the news stories he was pursuing as a journalist.

Family and crime

Crime - the eradication over the years of the ingredient called Family’s root cause for crime. Young ones growing up in an unbalanced unit far from criticising single mothers many have done an incredible job, but you have the disaster of the 25 percent who failed.

The Rolly Gray Harbour

The National Family Islands Regatta Committee records its full support of the renewed call to name the Harbour at George Town, Exuma “The Rolly Gray Harbour” by Commodore and Chairman Daniel Strachan.

PM shows maturity

I read on an Internet news site that the Office of the Prime Minister has announced that Prime Minister Philip Brave Davis will attend the historic coronation of King Charles III on May 6 at Westminster Abbey in London, England.

Opposition to Viking Court Plaza

Time to prioritise social justice

May 1 is widely known as Labour Day, a day when we celebrate the contribution of workers worldwide. It is a moment for pride, celebration and hope.

RCI and Downtown

We don’t get to see them very often, but the top executives of Royal Caribbean recently popped into town to rub shoulders with Bahamians, conduct media roadshows and hand out one-time cheques to charities, young entrepreneurs, and creatives to win their favour.

Bahamas in top ten for death penalty

The recent slayings of two men on bail in New Providence passes the smell test of retaliatory killings which have become all too common in the capital.

Contractors and fronting

I read with interest the article concerning the statements from Hon Keith Bell, Minister of Labour relative to the contractors, with concerns about fronting and the appointment of a board that the Ministry of Labour can consult.

The future of conch is at risk

The Queen Conch is approaching extinction in The Bahamas. A bold statement? Hardly!

Road markings

I would like your urgent assistance with regards to having the markings installed and repainted on the roadways in New Providence. I remember when we did the basic things well, but recently many don’t see dirt or simple improvements to be made.

High profile investigations by the police

Our Police Force over the past decades has been active in investigations, arrests, and prosecutions of offenders, which included various high-profile residents and included several politicians in the government and opposition.

The right to vote

Woodes Rodgers arrived in Nassau in 1729 for his second tour of duty as Governor of the Bahamas. In his commission he was given specific instructions to establish a general assembly to pass laws as the need arose. He issued a proclamation on 25th August, 1729 calling for the election of freeholders in New Providence, Eleuthera, and Harbour Island.

US visa concern

Here is a matter of great concern, I am one of the Bahamians who falls in the category of Bahamians who need a US Visa B1/B2 to visit the States, but felt I was wrongly treated in my reapplying for the visa, following numerous submitted applications through a JP Visa prepared my visa wasn't approved, but each time was told I may re-apply at a later date and I always waited over the suggested waiting time six months before re-applying.

Will Bahamas side with China or Taiwan?

Tensions are escalating between the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of China, known to us as Taiwan. I read in The Telegraph, a British newspaper, that former head of the US Indo-Pacific command, Admiral Philip Davidson, predicted that China will invade Taiwan by 2027. Military analysts have dubbed this timeframe the “Davidson Window.”

Being failed over crime

Like clockwork, shots rang out all over New Providence last weekend, leaving several dead and wounded victims.

Bail issue... who is really at fault?

A media feeding frenzy was sparked recently by remarks attributed to the Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Ralph Gonsalves at a CARICOM Summit in Trinidad & Tobago relative to bail being granted in homicide cases by Bahamian judges.

Payouts for legal cases

It was very interesting to hear that the Hon Prime Minister declined to reveal settlement amounts in actions settled by the government with members of the security forces because he did not want pending actions to be affected.
