Majority Rule 2014

Many Bahamians know Majority Rule as the day when the Black Majority in The Bahamas achieved power via The Progressive Liberal Party under The Leadership of Lynden Oscar Pindling. But there is a deeper story to this Majority Rule. 

On January 10th 1967, after the General Elections, both The United Bahamian Party (UBP) and The Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) won 18 seats respectively in The House of Assembly. Sir Randol Fawkes and Alvin Braynen also won their seats independent of the two major parties. 

Days of negotiations ensued between Fawkes, Braynen and the two major party's as they tried to win them over to secure a majority win for their respective party's, but after all was said and done, on January 14th 1967,  both Fawles and Braynen agreed to join the PLP , thus giving the party 20 seats  in The House of Assembly and subsequently, they formed the Government, the first Black Majority Government. 

The day we know refer to as Majority Rule Day. 

TOP TWO INFLUENTIAL BAHAMIAN TEENAGERS OF 2013

The year 2013 was a very difficult one for The Bahamas especially for The Bahamian Youth. We saw young person get their lives taken away from them in the blink of an eye, but despite all that, we had two young person who managed to persevere despite the circumstances facing them. Behold Mr. Xavier Knowles and Miss Taja Moxey. After careful deliberation, we have chosen to honor them has the Top Two Influential Teenagers of 2013. Xavier Knowles, a senior a The Government High School and Taja Moxey, a senior at CI Gibson have both demonstrated that they are Patriotic Bahamian Citizens of good character and good morals. Along with his numerous social accomplishments, Xavier serves as Head Boy at GHS. Taja, also a Student Leader in her school, is the current BTC Senior Starmaker, having won that title in early 2013. She uses her position to positively impact the lives of young persons, especially young girls around her. Both of these young persons believe in God, they don't drink or smoke. I repeat , they believe in God, they don't drink and they don't smoke. They have a promising future for them. We expect to see even bigger and better things from them in 2014. Let's salute Xavier and Taja.
