There are so many strange weather events taking place in the world today. Things that never happened before are taking place in different parts of the world. We, the human, I can say are the cause of it. All these different things man is doing to the earth such as polluting the air and damaging the earth crust.

ZNS Network.

    It is really sad to see the number of fire incidents here in The Bahamas, especially that results in some being injured or burned to death. The Bahamian society need to take serious precautions in their home. Be more alert. My prayer and sympathy goes to that family who have lost their loved one. It is said that police are currently investigating the house fire.

   I am really impressed and amazed that there are fathers out there who will fight for the custody of their child / children. I am sad that he has loss the case, and the child have been handed over to the adoptive parents. But the fact that he has put up a fight for his daughter, say a lot about what type of father he is.

Fitzgerald: Work at schools almost complete

Minister of Education Jerome Fitzgerald leads a tour of a Stephen Dillet Primary School Yesterday. Torrell Glinton TNG 2013.

    What is it with the Bahamian society??? They take forever to do things. School have been closed from JUNE and they just want to start repairing the school when SCHOOL AS ALREADY OPEN in SEPTEMBER. Come on Bahamas, let stop making a fool ourselves, do what is right and do it on time. I am sure that the Minister of Education will ensure that all public school is repair and ready for the school year 2013-2014. But being a last minute and lazy person, he decided to do these things when school is open.
