Urban Renewal Programme was on the right track!

We at Bahamas Press are not overly eager to credit Perry Christie for many things. However, when we saw these Japanese University students presenting western music to a live audience, we had to say, Christie’s vision to the development of bands in the communities was the right and positive approach. It was all about building the community.

Hubert Ingraham on the other hand, came along and dismantled the community bands. YES HE STOPPED THE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN FROM LEARNING AN INSTRUMENT! One individual told Bahamas Press, the instruments are packed in boxes at the community centers collecting dust. My goodness, WHAT A SHAME! WHEN WILL THE INGRAHAM WUTLESS PRESS CORE REPORT THAT?

  1. Media I believe Hemibahama is in a state of shock, like the rest of us. It just too hard to believe the PM could operate so petty.

  2. Active where Hemibahama? Did you not see we are reporting the instruments are in the backroom in boxes. Better still, when last you heard the kids performed somewhere? The conductor was removed, the band dismantled and the children sent home.

    COME ON, STOP BEING LIKE THE WUTLESS MEDIA IN THIS TOWN And FACE THE MUSIC!

  3. I think the band is still active. Could someone please call the farm road office and find out. I think the Band is still active.

  4. Media you mean those instruments what the children were using constructively are packed away in boxes collecting dust? That is awful. The only reason the Farm Road Band was discontinued was because the FNM were not the ones who introduce it. That band was something positive for that community. The government need to stop running this country in a vindictive and evil way and put the needs of their citizens first.

  5. Ingraham needs to really get up one morning and realize he is not good for this country and just resign and say “so long”.

  6. We have accepted long ago, that there are some, particularly those who ran newspapers in the 1960s to keep the poor over-the-hill members of our population, IGNORANT, BLIND, AS DRUNKARDs forever smoking BACKWARD and drugs. KILLING and slaughtering each other, having no progress to the next generation!

    WE NEED CHANGE! AND RID THIS COUNTRY OF THIS INGRAHAM MENTALITY!
