In memory of an iconic Bahamian

It is with great sadness and sincere sympathy that I write this tribute to one of our most renowned and iconic Bahamian sons, A Loftus Roker.

Someone, be honest with Minnis

The photos told the story. Recent photos in the print media showed Michael Pintard flanked by high ranking officials and other members of the FNM, which was clearly not the case for the Minnis’ team.

Remove VAT from all medical

There has to be an SOS going out to the people who have medical health insurance and those who have requirement for expensive medication.

Pintard is not young generation

TWO weeks prior, the FNM and the nation at large witnessed two individuals whom I hold in high regard step up to vie for the position of leading our party into the upcoming general election.

The recent brouhaha between the government and the Grand Bahama Port Authority that has found its way onto the front pages of your newspaper reminded us of another controversial subject involving these two protagonists.

Minnis and McCartney alliance?

After I saw photos of former Free National Movement Leader Dr Hubert Minnis with former Democratic National Alliance Leader Branville McCartney in Long Island to promote the former’s book “The Power of Determination”, I told a family member that it looks like Minnis is building an alliance

NIB comes through after long wait
