Bahama Drama November 18, 2025

You failed me Chester Cooper

when Bahama Drama needed you most!

Since I’ve been living in Exuma for the past four years, the only consistent support I’ve received has come from my Holy Spirit–filled church in Farmers Hill and from FNM supporters. These were the people who stood by Bahama Drama during my lowest moments from living in the bushes, to an abandoned house, to finally having the means for security, first and last months’ rent, and even helping me secure a job here in Exuma. Their compassion is what helped me escape homelessness.

At one point, I even lived in the generator room of the BTC tower in Farmers Hill the blue building at the top of the hill above my church, Ebenezer Union Baptist Church.

What makes their kindness even more meaningful is that none of these individuals knew about my Facebook following or my influence. They helped me simply out of genuine human compassion, something that has unfortunately become rare in our country.

In the past, I personally reached out to Chester Cooper for assistance. And guess what Bahama Drama received? Absolutely nothing.

So, for the first time in my life, I will not be voting for an independent candidate, and you already know why.

Bahama Drama has never voted for a major political party candidate before. But there is a first time for everything.

And why is it that hundreds of millions of dollars are coming out of Exuma into the Bahamas Treasury and this island only get a constituency allowance of $100 thousand dollars back out of it?

That’s just like working for 40 hours a week and you’re boss taking back 85 percent of your hard earned money. The young people in these islands want more and better and they are willing to vote outside of their comfort zones to get better. FYI she might well get my support and vote!

I remember leaving the building almost every morning before 5 AM in the morning so that no one would notice me coming out of the BTC generator building. And on Sundays when everything was closed I could sleep late but that’s when I started making my first mistake not knowing church hours getting spotted by church members many times. Such embarrassing moments to recall as if they were yesterday. I will never forget any of this ever!

This is my unfiltered truth. A lot of people obviously have never been awakened because a Diesel generator just auto cranked on because the city power is off at 3 AM in the morning and you have to leave the building where you live on the bathroom floor or the Fumes will possibly kill you, standing outside in the cold draft dark, while out island Mosquitoes have their way with you until the diesel generator shuts back off because power has been restored.

I’d still have to wait another 45 minutes to an hour for the room to clear out from toxic smoke. But little that I knew, the diesel deposits where everywhere in the building already.

I tell no lies, this is what I lived and survived in the Bahamas. He who feels it, knows it…
