Size of oil spill still a mystery
It is too bad that the Bahamas is the first country on the planet ever in history to have an oil spill. Those you may have heard about in the Gulf and in Alaska and in the mid-east are only vicious rumours designed by so-called historians to make the FNM look bad. Exxon Valdez? Who ever heard of it?
There being no technical know-how and experience in the entire world which knows how to measure the size of an oil spill, we are therefore left at the mercy of the idiots at Equinox and their 6 inch rulers which they have borrowed from their kids' geometry sets.
Hopefully Alaska and Louisiana and Venezuela and Trinidad and Saudia Arabia etc will all fly in their oil safety people and bring BLANK notebooks so that they can take notes and learn a thing or two as this mystery is tackled by coatsuit wearing oil executives.

Just an Idea from an outsider. In other countries including the U.S. the oil industry itself MUST fund a Nonprofit (please note: nonprofit) company which has experts in spills AND will rush in barges, well drilling equipment, mechanical booms etc. The Group in the states is called MSRP and as they are funded by the oil company's they are like fire departments but are oil spill experts. Just a thought.

12,000 barrels of oil and water recovered after Equinor spill
This is such a silly article. 250 responders from unnamed international orgaizations. No refeence for past experience of the 2 that were named. 2 tanks that cannot be measured. Non-existent benzene that is evaporating? They have no evidence of any benzene but their measurements so far point to a favorable outcome? 2 birds being tended to - no mention of the 3rd bird and the lone goat. Is he dead? Are we importing a replacement goat from Long Island or are we importing one from abroad so that govt can collect VAT on his import value?
The helicopter with the journalists are unable to fly directly above the two topless oil containers to look inside? Are they half full or half empty?
Nobody on the planet Earth knows how to deal with this or are the ones that do still waiting on their work permits?
Im surw many are praying for rain to hide the evidence.

Do they have any clue as to how stupid this report makes them look? And they are going to "take over" the EOC in Abaco? Why? the people who established it have 1000 fold the capability of NEMA and the Government. This reads like a 4th grade "what i did this summer" report. Man this is sad.

Senator: Give undocumented the right to work for a year
Why not criminalize the hiring of illegals and....
Lol. Wait, this is a crime, that is rarely enforced. But enforce this, and prosecute and you will see the end of illegal immigration!
Truth is, business wants and needs illegals, it serves to both supply employees for jobs Bahamians wind do, and increase competition so wage growth remains stagnant. And as in every other country, governments cater to business at the expense of their populations, and this is why only a token few non connected are ever charged with employing illegal immigrants.

How do you declare someone missing? You REPORT someone missing. You DECLARE someone dead because they cannot protest. However, by the power vested in me, I declare 39 idiots.

Any truth to the info that NEMA hurricane relief Generators destined for Abaco and G.B. are being turned into BEC/BPL Nassau power cut relief Generators for NEMA friends and family? Where there's smoke there is usually fire....... Just asking. Apparently it is no secret. Trucks delivering them too.

Bahamas-based oil explorer sees 4bn barrel upside
I don't care if we have 100 billion in oil, the answer to drilling must be no. What gives us the right to risk polluting this beautiful environment God gave us. The Bahamian people were promised a referendum before any drilling was done, and the FNM have corruptly broken that promise. The world does not need a drop more of fossil fuels. What we already have is destroying us with Global Warming. After the unmitigated devastation of hurricane Dorian, the last thing on Bahamian politicians' agenda should be drilling for oil.

EDITORIAL: Residents still left waiting for govt
I wouldn't be surprised if the people who work for nema can wipe their own ass. The real problem is the government crooks are trying to figure out how to steak all the money and donated supplies it's hard work for them since it is so much. They do not have time to help anyone. The police and defense force on the ground the first 3 weeks stole as much or more than the civilian looters and also stood by allowing the civilian looters to do what they did.

Government 'understands urgent need for cleanup' in East End
This politically appointed comrade's stunning answer to why his Imperialists red shirts colleagues failed to understand the urgent need for cleanup in East End, Grand Bahamaland - was to move forward with what they do best, the politicisation to create a whole a new ministry of jobs and expense accounts for even greater number his likewise useless politically connected - rather than to deal with the massive on the ground clean-up, and disaster recovery and reconstruction, yes, no .... Please,Joseph, the father, Jesus, you have obligation talk with your son on behalf thousands left homeless Grand Bahamalanders and Abacoians .... Amen!

All this ranting and obsession with Haitians? Granted it must be Annoying that Bahamians soon have to learn Creole in their own country?.. But when tragedy strikes you help all who are hungry, and not use it as a round up strategy. Some of you are filled with hate.
In a month or so when the international story breaks about how not one person who has known Haitian heritage has been listed as missing, and your country has stated it's open for business, on a burial ground where bodies have not been recovered. When people start comparing you all to Mynamar/ Burma? Obsession leads to hate and hate leads to bad decisions.
BTW how did KEith Knight get a work permit to defend Gibson? Or is Mr Knight an illegal?

You and this gay thing. There have been no recorded hate crime in A Jamaica. You had to go back to 2010 well I will give you that. But why would anyone want to come live in Jamaica with it's dust and rocks? After Al,l Jàmaicà is just like Haiti, May we jump on some boats to Andros 2.
When we land we contact Uncle Fred Or one of his Haitian Bahamian henchmen. Who knows if their crusade extends to Jamaicans. Oops, Fred says he don't do Patois, only Kreyol.
No one takes Vegas seriously these days,, but unfortunately he is correct.. On a serious note, why is this a topic that arouses so much passion?
To answer your question. They should have given them refuge.A few live where I am from and they. Have done ok. They have adjusted and semi integrated. The main thing is, once they do not break the law we don't care. Because they are integrates, they don't get opportunity to become breeding machines. Frankly you Al need to go after the Politicians and big men who sponsor the sloops to your territory.
