Progress is something people should be able to see, feel, and experience in their daily lives.

Lower bills. Safer streets. Better healthcare. More opportunities for our children.

From one end of this archipelago to the other, this is progress Bahamians can reach out and touch.

@imnickintl But the cost lol

Men’s Health Month reminder: the men in your life won’t schedule their own doctor’s appointment. DO IT FOR THEM! Seriously. Just book it, tell them when to show up or even go with them. Dads, daddy’s, grandpas, papas, brothers, significant others - ALL. #MensHealthMonth #AllJune

The future is not something Washington hands to us. The future is something we build, together.

Today, we start building.

But we can’t do it alone. This campaign belongs to all of us. Join the movement, sign up to volunteer, make a contribution if you’re able, and let’s build the future together.

@just_drmj Congrats

[Philip Brave Davis @HonPhilipEDavis]

It was great to welcome Bahamian basketball star Buddy Hield to the Office.

Buddy continues to make our country proud every time he steps on the court, and he is showing young Bahamians what is possible through hard work, discipline, and dedication.

We also had a good conversation about Grand Bahama and the ways he hopes to continue giving back and creating opportunities for young people.

Thank you, Buddy, for continuing to represent The Bahamas with pride and for inspiring the next generation to dream bigger.

Having a go at the Bahamas Nationality Act talk as report in one of the dailies. I find the reporting absent of important details to allow the public to form an opinion on it.

The amendment to the Bahamas Nationality Act ("BNA") needs to be viewed with an understanding of the difference between CITIZENSHIP and PERMANENT RESIDENCE. The amendment does not allow anyone to become a Bahamian citizen for a fee of $500.00.

Section 7 of the BNA provides for applicants who are entitled under articles 5, 7, 9 or 10 of the Constitution to apply. The Bahamas Nationality Act is here (pages 5 & 6): https://t.co/rFelcOA3zg

The word "may" is present in the section which means it is a discretion to be exercised, not an automatic right. The link to the constitutional articles is here (pages 19 - 21): https://t.co/0UznrzGp2y

The distinction between citizenship and permanent residence, which is governed by the provisions of the Immigration Act, is that you do not get the right to vote, but you can get the right to work, you also do not get a Bahamian Passport. You do not become a citizen of The Bahamas when you receive permanent residence. You get a long term right to reside.

The $500 fee for those who have been refused citizenship, in order to apply for permanent residence should in my view be more, but otherwise we should not mischaracterize it as a means by which people can get citizenship. That's not what it is.

Being denied citizenship means you did not qualify under the eligibility/criteria in the Constitution to receive a Bahamian passport by lineage or otherwise. It does not mean you are a bad person, or as is used in the Immigration Act an "undesirable". It just means you didn't make the constitutional cut.

Citizenship is a product of the Constitution. Permanent Residence is a product of the Immigration Act. They are not now and never have been the same thing.

Today, I want to shine a light on Bahamian designer Apryl Jasmin.

Her designs have been worn by Members of Parliament at the Opening of Parliament and featured in British Vogue. Her success shows what is possible when Bahamian talent, discipline, and vision are given room to shine, in our national institutions and on the world stage.

Apryl, we are proud of you, and grateful for the way you continue to represent The Bahamas with grace, creativity, and distinction.

@imnickintl A lot of people don’t understand the inner workings of government finances and procedures, which makes it easy for political narratives to create division and confusion.

[Christopher J. Farrington @Christopherj242]

Ummmm - It’s always about Politics

[n i c k 🌍🥂 @imnickintl]

Let's discuss the Government's travel budget allocation. The narrative around it is always misconstrued and twisted up because the details wouldn't sell papers or grab anyone's attention. It's more fun to say "Fred always travelling" or "Brave dem gone to conference again?!"

The funds are not allocated solely for the PM, Minister of Foreign Affairs, other Cabinet Ministers and so forth. It is spread across the entire government, not one ministry or minister.

There are public servants across numerous ministries, agencies and departments; from junior to senior, that travel for training, continuing professional development, in various representative capacities whether internationally or domestically.

The travel allocation covers the entire government, not just the cabinet.
