IBS and Marathon Bahamas partner for a winning website - Mar 18, 2010 - 9:00:02 PM
Nassau,
Bahamas – Marathon Bahamas was the brainchild of Bahamian businessman
Franklyn
Wilson and the race was on for a quick launch to a superb finish in just
under
5 months.
What a journey it was
for the players involved and it ended on February 14th in
high glory
due to the fact that it had over 500 registered participants including
Grand
Bahamian winner, Delroy Boothe who raced against seasoned local and
international marathoners.
Behind
the scenes of the marathon was Integrated Business Solutions (Bahamas)
Ltd.
also known as IBS International.
This important player helped Marathon Bahamas stay in the lead
with a
high quality, interactive website that is on par with those of the
Boston, New
York, and Miami marathons.
Donovan
Moxey, PhD is the CEO of IBS International and a Bahamian who came
highly
recommended.

A Bahamas Citizenship: Not as Easy as you Might Think - Mar 18, 2010 - 1:40:38 PM
Obtaining a
Bahamas citizenship is not as easy as you might think. Even if you were
born in the Bahamas, it does not mean that you are entitled to
citizenship. There are many strict rules and regulations in the
Constitution of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, dated July 10, 1973,
with regard to a Bahamian citizenship.
It is possible to
acquire a Bahamian citizenship if you have resided in the Bahamas for an
extended period of time (approximately 6 to 9 years) and have lived
there for a minimum of 12 consecutive months.
Your chances of obtaining citizenship are even
greater if you
plan to remain in the country permanently and know the Bahamian language
and customs. You must also be a law-abiding resident and an individual
of ‘good’ character...
