It is so sad that many still view and act like the Bahamas is Nassau & Freeport, This is so sad because The Bahamas have 700 Islands Rocks and Cays but we have those who should be promoting Bahamians only look to those living in Nassau, Governor’s Harbour then Harbour Island, then Nassau was the order where the seat for Government was active, but now it is just Nassau, what a shame, just look at ALL the insignias given under this Government, for a person who claim to know about the struggle of Family Islanders, his action is far from reality, “the famous quote, “I say what I mean & I mean what I say” just don’t hold water, then it is a matter of TRUST for the WORST>
No Family Island participation.
There is a strong legacy of junkanoo beyond New Providence if they would bother to check.
