Last week in the media, I listened to pastors\u2019 and politicians\u2019 endorsements and support of one of The Bahamas\u2019 permanent residents who resides at Lyford Cay, Peter Nygard.<\/p>\nLast week in the media, I listened to pastors\u2019 and politicians\u2019 endorsements and support of one of The Bahamas\u2019 permanent residents who resides at Lyford Cay, Peter Nygard.<\/p>\n
They praised and celebrated him like never before as he has become the talk of the town in recent times.\u00a0 Despite the recently surfaced video that boasted \u201cNygard Takes Bahamas Back\u201d, many waited with bated breath to see which of the ministers of government would speak out against the way the video portrayed the current government.<\/p>\n
Much to Bahamians\u2019 surprise, the ministers seen in the video, who spoke publicly to the issue, as well as the prime minister, came out in defense of Nygard.<\/p>\n
Another video has surfaced with Nygard.\u00a0 It shows a confrontation between the Lyford Cay resident and a prominent pastor, Rev. C.B. Moss.\u00a0 Nygard, who was escorted by Rev. Philip McPhee, Bishop Simeon Hall and others, said, \u201cI have done more for The Bahamas than any other person.\u201d\u00a0 Many Bahamians who are not beneficiaries of any donations from this gentleman have serious concerns about this type statement from a foreigner.\u00a0 I had to take some time to think these events through.\u00a0 It appears The Bahamas has again become a nation for sale.<\/p>\n
I wondered if these are the same men who are fighting tooth and nail with Cable and Wireless to acquire BTC back for Bahamians.\u00a0 As it regards this Nygard controversy, not a single person in government has said publically this is not a good position for us to be in.\u00a0 When men get up every morning, their natural instinct is to work towards making an honest living.\u00a0 It is their goal in life to provide for their families \u2013 shelter, food, education and spirituality.\u00a0 We were taught that \u201cby the sweat of our brow, we shall eat\u201d.\u00a0 What we have before us now are panhandlers \u2013 pastors and politicians who have opted into the lazy way of finding capital.<\/p>\n
When sponsoring a regatta is more important than feeding the poor and the homeless, we have lost our way.\u00a0 The only person who has earned his way is the man giving out the money.\u00a0 This year after celebrating 40 years of being an independent nation it is most casually obvious to the world that we are still a nation with a nagging dependency on foreign financial investments and donations for survival of an economy.<\/p>\n
