What is happening at Potter’s Cay with all these drowning deaths? File Photo by: http://www.tribune242.com Nassau, Bahamas — A drunk man who dived for conch lost his life at Potter’s Cay yesterday. Friends of the intoxicated man warned him just minutes before he plunged to his death. “I warned him to not go into the water, but he refused to listen. He had been drinking the entire night but, with his head being hard, he went anyway,” a friend of the deceased man told BP. Police were called to the area where the suspected drowning of a man in his late 20s or early 30s occurred around 10:00am. There they found the body of a man submerged beneath a fishing vessel moored in waters at Potters Cay Dock. The man’s body was retrieved from waters by divers and he was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy will be performed to determine the exact cause of death. A number of death continue to occur in the area with conch divers. BP believes someone has these drunk men covered under heavy death insurance. Last year in early November the body of 39-year-old Roger Chris Miller was pulled from the waters at Potter’s Cay shortly after 9:35am. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) responded and pronounced Miller dead a short time later. He, too, we are told, was heavily under the influence at the time he leaped for conch and drowned. But who is looking into these incidents and BP wonders who is the person collecting these huge insurance payouts. We report yinner decide!  Read More →

Lenten Meditation Day 7 – March 11th… Lord, teach us how to pray! Matt 6: 7-15 Many nights when the day has ended I become very reflective. Sometimes kneeling until I am fast asleep. Sometimes saying not a word but praying in my heart, “LORD HAVE MERCY ON ME”! It reminds me of the picture of a child after committing wrong weeping on his knees before the feet of his parent pleading for mercy. What parent would not be moved by that. Jesus in his gospel today (Matt 6: 7-15) teaches us how to pray, and admonishes us to practice forgiveness to those who have sinned against us. Clearly advice says something; If we want to seek forgiveness from God we must also be willing to forgive others. And if we want to accept mercy and love from Christ, we must be prepared to give the same. Let our prayer be our actions; forgiving, giving, sharing expounding mercy and love to others; for as the reading says; “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.” Amen! )  Read More →

Questions remains unanswered almost two years since put by Bahamas Press – Bahamian Oil Exported for $2 per metric ton! Why new Administration has not cancelled the lease? Ed Curling, the FNM election bagman hanging around Hubert Ingraham. THE SAND MAN RAIDING THE NATURAL RESOURCE OUT THE COUNTRY! – BP rebroadcast this report as we have gotten word that aragonite goes for $900 per metric ton on the world market…. The man whose wealth grew by $60 million in just a few years! Was he in the Cabinet Room when this crime to give off the Bahamian oil was inked? Nassau, Bahamas -- There are many things that appall us about this government, but when conflicts and scandals arise, the WUTLESS media goes silent. And that really angers the persons behind this website. Bahamas Press has uncovered a serious rip-off here in the country and when you look into the incident, the crime traces back to the OFFICE OF THE PRIME Minister. Now get this: sometime before JUNE 2010, a request was made of the government to approve the export of Bahamian sand [aragonite] out of the country by a company called Ocean Cay Limited. At a lease of $2.00 per metric ton [which is somewhere around 2,200 lbs], the Ingraham government granted the company a $7,500 per year lease on the island called Ocean Cay for the company to operate. Bahamas Press has been advised that, since their approval back in 2010, the company is believed to have yet to pay the government on the millions and millions lbs of sands extracted and shipped out of the Bahamas. Information supplied to us by sources in the OPM confirms much of the sand was sold to an oil company, which experienced an oil spill in the US recently. We are told, according to that source, millions upon millions of dollars have been paid by private companies in the US for the sand, which is used to make glass and other items. And so, as we open a public trial on this new development, BP would like to put the questions: Does Hot Mix and or Tony Myers have any contracts with Ocean Cay? Will Christie allow this BACKSIDE RAPE TO CONTINUE AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF THE BAHAMAS AND IMPLIMENT VAT ON THE BACKS OF THE POOR?! MILLIONS GOING INTO SOMEONE'S POCKETS! CHRISTIE MUST STOP THE HEIST AGAINST THE PEOPLE!!! What role does the company, Tycoon Management Co. Ltd., and its Principal, Mr. James Edgar Curling, have in Ocean Cay? How much aragonite has been exported? How much Royalty has been paid to the Government? Who is monitoring what is being exported out of Ocean Cay? Are Aragonite and sand considered natural resources? Why is the lease payment on such a highly prized natural resource only $7,500? Who are the Special Interests benefitting from the mining of this commodity? Can the PM confirm or deny whether his Crony and Lackey, James Curling, is engaged in the export of sand? What is the FNM/PLP Government’s stance on the export of Sand and is this not a natural resource like oil, the sale of which should be a benefit to the entire Bahamian population? And why would anyone agree to sell a natural resource for $2 per metric ton when on the world market aragonite [Bahamian Sand -WHITE GOLD] sells for $900 per metric ton?  Read More →

Nassau, Bahamas – The Bahamas Maritime Pilots Association (BMPA) would like to address the issue of clarity on Marine Pilots in Freeport. Our member Pilots have resigned from both Buckeye Partners LP/BORCO and Freeport Harbour Company (FHC), they have not been fired. Two of our members were fired on December 31st 2013 which we viewed as a possible intimidation tactic used by FHC to hault the progress of the BMPA’s push towards Independent Pilotage. The Full compliment of Pilots at FHC was 9 Pilots as of December 2013, they fired 2 Pilots as a supposed intimidation tactic to the BMPA. That left a balance of 7 Pilots. Of the 7 Pilots remaining 5 have resigned from FHC. FHC is left with 2 Pilots. We would like to make it clear as well that the only 2 remaining Pilots at FHC are the Port Director, Orlando Forbes, and Ellison Charles Rolle, Marine Manager. Their duties also obviously includes Administrative functions. Additionally the Harbour company hired one additional Pilot in January 2014 whom we do not account for in the number of Pilots because the BMPA has filed a medical investigation complaint with the Ministry of Transportation. This Pilot has a very serious illness and should not under any circumstances be operating as a Pilot. Buckeye Partners LP/BORCO had 9 Pilots in total, 6 of them resigned. This means 3 remaining Pilots and 1 of them is the Marine Manager, who is on light duty for injury to his leg. Buckeye Partners LP/BORCO only has 2 Pilots remainng, one of which is a trainee. Simply put, this means in total there were 18 Pilots servicing the needs of both FHC and Buckeye Partners LP/BORCO as of December 2013. Once the resignation notice period expires on March 28, 2014 and all of the memeber Pilots of the BMPA are officially out of the companies, there will only be 4 qualified Pilots, one of which is a trainee available to do the Job that was already a strain for 18 Pilots to do. Our claims of Freeport being an “unsafe harbour” are quite sound. Any Maritme proffessional examining the complete Neglect of the Anchorage area where in one week of October 2013 a ship’s anchor was dropped on BTC cable, resulting in a stop of all communications in Grand Bahama, including emergency services, and the same week the Formosa Falcon Tanker was Beached off Eight Mile Rock filled with 2 million Gallons of Fuel Oil. Just last week two ships on Anchorage drifted into each other and collided because of a change in currents. Clearly there should be Pilots on the Anchorage, FHC and Buckeye Partners LP/BORCO has taken no action. The Bahamas Maritime Pilots Association (BMPA) would like to invite All Maritime Industry Stakeholders to join as we engage in a very important discussion on the EMERGENCY CONCLAVE: STATE OF PILOTAGE & SAFETY IN FREEPORT. We have invited some of our partners from Pilot Associations worldwide to join us in discussion about Best Practices, International Maritime Organization (IMO) Standards, Insurance Requirements, and Safety and Training guidelines. 7 pm on Monday, March 10, 2014 at the Pelican Bay Hotel Convention Centre- Coral and Reef room (4 th floor). Our Special Guests will include Nick Cutmore, Secretary General of the International Maritime Pilots Association (IMPA), and Captain Kurt Duncan, President of the Trinidad and Tobago Pilots Association. TOPICS: There will be a discussions on a range of issues including the Pilots’ Resignations, Anchorage, HarborLights Software, Role of the Marine Pilot, Major Safety Concerns, Proper Training Standards, Insurance and Liability, Maritime Law in the Bahamas, Port Authority in Freeport, Major Maritime Incidents, Maritime Industry and the Economy. If you have any questions, please contact Erin A. Ferguson, Managing Director, Bahamas Maritime Pilots Association at erinaferguson@gmail.com or 242-552-3277. BMPA has been organised to encourage safe and responsible operation of marine pilots and other marine professionals; to develop advice and guidance for best industrial practice among its members and promote criteria for best practice to all who have responsibilities for, or interest in, offering professional maritime pilotage services. BMPA’s principal role will be to advocate measures to enhance the safety of life and property at sea and pollution. It will represent the interests of its members, in matters concerning the safe operation of pilotage and marine services offered in The Commonwealth of The Bahamas, to local and regional bodies and the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). It will consult with the IMO, government agencies and other non-governmental organisations. BMPA has also formed strategic relationships with International Maritime Pilots Association (IMPA), Trinidad & Tabago Pilots’ Association, American Pilots Association (APA), the Organization of Black Maritime Graduates, SUNY Maritime College, and several Pilot Associations in the United States including, Florida Harbour Pilots, Tampa Bay Pilots, Cape Canaveral Pilots, Biscayne Bay Pilots, Port Everglades Pilots, Sandy Hook Pilots of New York and New Jersey, and Houston Pilots.  Read More →

Bain Town girl’s murder could have been avoided had family rescued her from abuse. Deceased victim Nyoshi Adderley was member of Governing Party youth branch. Murdered mother Nyoshi Adderley – A Member of the Governing Party’s Youth Arm was a victim of abuse! Young abused single mother was young liberal. Nassau, Bahamas — Bahamas Press is getting more details into that discovery of the missing single mother whose body was discovered in a shallow grave in the Spikenard and Cowpen Roads area behind an abandoned home. Detectives were physically moved following the gruesome discovery on Sunday afternoon where the victim’s ex-boyfriend led them to the site. We can tell you 24-year-old, Nyoshi Adderley, of Rupert Dean Lane body was naked when discovered in a shallow four foot grave. The chilling evidence would mean that further evidence of the clothes she was wearing at the time of her death might be hidden in another location. Police had issued a bulletin on March 5th, which confirmed that the single mother was last seen on Saturday 22nd February, 2014 at her residence located at Scott Street. But this was not the start of her troubles and Bahamas Press can now report Adderley was a part of an abusive relationship. Sources on the ground at a local preschool tell us that, about a week before her disappearance, parents at the preschool that the single mother’s daughter attended witnessed a most violent incident. Her ex-lover, now in police custody, attacked the young woman as she collected her daughter at the preschool. Adderley had left her former lover before, mainly due to his many violent attacks and threats on her life during the past relationship. One source anonymously told BP, “He threatened to kill the young woman and, just days before that incident at the preschool, he had begun to follow the young girl as she had gotten involved with a new man. Parents could have intervened and saved her from this cycle of abuse. But look what now even her child must endure.” Adderley’s body was discovered around 3:00pm, after police were led to the shallow grave in bushes off Cowpen Road West. An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death. Adderley with PYL members at an event.  Read More →

YOUNG TEEN LEFT THE SCENE OF AN ACCIDENT WHERE MAN DIES AND POLICE BOYFRIEND LIED TO OFFICERS SUGGESTING HE WAS BEHIND THE WHEEL! WHAT A COUNTRY! Nassau, Bahamas – Bahamian police will have another serious investigation following the death of a man believed to be in his twenties who was involved in an accident on Brougham Street in the inner city. BP investigators on the ground tell us this incident may need the hand of the Commission of Police in order for Swift Justice to be served. Sources tell us an unreported incident on Brougham Street early Sunday morning has left at least one man dead.  He was driving in a jeep in the area. We can tell you that a Honda involved in the crash was driven by the 16-year-old girlfriend of the off-duty officer and was travelling in the area when the accident occurred. Eyewitnesses told Bahamas Press that the young driver in the Honda, along with the officer, is alleged to have been under the influence just after 12 midnight Sunday morning. But this is where things got nasty. Sources on the scene of the accident told Bahamas Press that as the driver in his jeep was hit and was knocked unconscious, the young teen jumped out of the driver’s seat and was picked up by another car thereby fleeing the scene of the accident. We can report sources on the ground confirmed to Bahamas Press that a call was made by the off duty officer’s cellphone around the same time calling for that backup vehicle to come to the scene. Bahamas Press arrived at the accident just following patrol and EMS vehicles arrival and, from what we gathered, the disappearance of the young driver was evident. Now in case you have difficulty locating the area where are reporting; this accident occurred along Brougham Street which runs parallel between Milton Street and Peter Street. It is just opposite Demeritt’s Funeral Home. What a place to end one’s life. The victim we can report goes by the name of Max. We are told that, by the time officers arrived on the scene, they were informed by the off-duty officer that it was his vehicle and that he was indeed the driver sitting in the driver’s seat. Sources on the ground at the time of the accident failed to agree with that report by the off-duty officer, and now a man is dead. BP calls on the officers investigating this incident to search deeply for the truth in their inquiries as ‘Citizens on the Ground’ knew better! We invite CCTV footage in this probe to be viewed. We also welcome a trace of the call made by the officer’s phone just following the accident. In short – authorities must do their jobs as BP is now doing its job. A life has been lost and the truth must be discovered. The victim died at 2pm in hospital and we still await the report of this incident. We report yinner decide!  Read More →

Drug Dealer Weds in Central Police Station Saturday Morning??? LOOK WHAT NASSAU HAS COME TOO! file photo Investigation now opened as to how did a senior Ingraham wartime general allowed Central Police jailhouse to be transformed for a private wedding???? Nassau, Bahamas — Senior lawmen are now embarrassed after a high-ranking officer allowed a man detained for drug possession wed in the city jail. A senior police officer is expected to be collected at quarter-guard this afternoon – at the Royal Bahamas Police Head Office on East Street North – after what some are describing to be a major breech in the National Security of the country. Bahamas Press was at Central Police Station on Saturday like a fly on the wall to witness the unthinkable: a Royal Wedding between an arrested drug dealer and his girlfriend while he sat in jail. We can report Central Police Station was turned into a church after a man busted by police for a major drug crime on Friday was married over the weekend while held in police custody. Well what in da hell is dis?? Now you would remember how BP reported that around 7:00am Police Mobile Division officers were on routine patrol at Potters Cay Dock when they observed a male employee of a mail boat hand over a package to two men. The two men then drove off in a vehicle. Police intercepted the vehicle and discovered two packages containing over 50 pounds of marijuana in the vehicle. All three men were taken into custody and are expected to appear in court early this week to be formally charged. Well, we can now report that one of the suspects was about to get married on Saturday morning, but found himself behind bars to the disappointment of his bride. Sources close to the police tell us, “…before we knew it, the Central Police Station was being transformed into a church, and a constable, who must have known the arrested bridegroom, turned witness in the wedding.” UNBELIEVABLE! BP turned on the CCTV in front of the station and, before we knew it, the bride was walking up the steps of Central Station like she was walking up Christ Church Cathedral steps in downtown Nassau! We could not believe this was happening in the city jail! Central Police Precinct is known for serious clandestine behaviour by rogue police officers. One time a woman accused a police officer of rape in that same jail where the wedding took place. Another time a big-time drug king ping walked right out of the cell like Houdini and escaped police custody. And now someone high up has pulled off a Royal Wedding in the public jailhouse? My GOODNESS! Boy, I tell ya we in the Bahamas are one bunch a ‘junkanoo bandits’! But ONLY BP WAS LIVE ON THE SCENE TO GIVE YINNER THIS REPORT! A REPORT THAT WILL NEVER MAKE THE PAGES OF THE WUTLESS MEDIA OF THE BAHAMAS! We know the Royal Bahamas Police Force is an institution of discipline. We know and expect heads to roll following this incident. And if this is the new pattern in the public jailhouse then pastors might as well make their way up to Fox Hill Prison and start marrying man. We report yinner decide!  Read More →
