When you look at the one-dollar bill, you will see an incomplete pyramid. You know why, because the founding fathers believe that the nation can always be improved upon and therefore nation building is never complete.
They understood this in 1776. WHEN IT COMES TO NATION BUILDING, THE SKY IS NOT THE LIMIT. A CONSTITUTION IS NO MORE THAN A MINORITY IDEA BEING SOLD TO THE MAJORITY. IN MANY CASES ONLY A HANDFUL WILL DRAFT IT AND GIVE IT BACK FOR ELECTION. IN THE GAMBIA, THE DRAFT CONSTITUTION WE VOTED FOR IS CERTAINLY NOT THE ONE WE SAW BEING POSTED. THAT DRAFT HAS A TERM LIMIT BUT THE ONE ON THE GROUND NOW HAS NONE.
You are decoding the "Da Vinci Code" of the dollar but forget to mentioned about "IN GOD WE TRUST" or arabic "HAS BU NAAH LU NI MAL WA KILU" which we muslims count on our praying beads and GOD BLESS AMERICA are prayers answered already for them. Thats why America became super power and champions virtually in all fields until after 9/11 being tainted by its aggressive policies in its fight against whatever contravenes its political agenda, attempts to dictate, dominate and policing the world and weakening their legacy nurtured by its founding fathers. |

Rah, one of them unfortunately is some one a lot adore in the Gambia. Infact the custodian of the constitution, the Clerk of the House could not produce the draft constitution in court. He was asked to bring the copy to court and the one he submitted was rejected as not being the right one.
This raised newspaper headlines like where is the constitution. The one people voted for is certainly not the one we have. last minute amedments were made without consultaion before the referendum.
If the clerk was as confused as any one, then who could safely say which copy is the right copy. There were many floating editions of the draft.
Kondorong, this is ludicrous, we could be pledging allegence to a fake document right now. The original has definitely been shredded and disposed of. I have never heard of such an event. Gambians have been taken for a ride. Our only remedy is to trash this fake document and revert to the Genuine Republic. There should be no comproimise. Gambia for the Gambians. Thankyou. later,rah |

Kobo, I am just a lay man, but very observant. My close acquaintances say I am very stubborn, and it's true. if I should review the MOU, It could turn up with just one paragraph, and that wouldn't be enough. Written text are text, but deeds are deeds, yeh?rah |

I am acquainted with your style of writings and do appreciate it as the "halimba" that brought the "Hasaayit" flowing from the everlasting stream of knowledge. Go ahead with even a single letter, character, word or sentence. Every little helps! |

Yeh Kobo, I am flabbergasted, But Halifa and Ousainou, who are way beyond (above) my league, should start twisting arms, but rubbing shoulders together, and do the right thing. I think it's their respective bases who should see the light. The MOU is totally an internal matter and could be over looked. What do you say? just,rah |

I refer to your statement earlier posted which you said " written text are text" only and also you elaborated, emphasised and demand "DEEDS ARE DEEDS!" Yeh Rah! They are intellectuals and revered but not yet decisive to act and show us deeds and milestones in Gambian politics to salvage the masses from tyranny and hardships. I agree with your points as action speaks louder than voices. However time is running out for them. |

Sorry for the delay with my reply Kobo. I had to take a nap. It's rise and shine again. They should stop squabling now and stsrt taking action. One of them should gracefully throw the towell and no one ends up being the looser. It's a win win situation. The bureaucracy too is getting out of hand. They can talk the talk, but can they walk the walk? maybe,rah |

| Rah as I see it the trump card is with Darboe as he commands the majority and he is exercising that to negotiate for the flagbearer without compromise and not negotiable by him. Darboe knew what is at stake and should be very decisive to act and play his card properly rather than denying his majority clear landslide victory come Election 2006. Others appear to mistrust him in the likes of Waa Juwara who exposed that deals have already been done earlier to pay for Darboes outstanding taxes and granted to be nominated as a presidential candidate. Unfortunately for Darboe also is Kemeseng who never lost his seat since his political career (PPP & UDP), maintaining his support for NADD. I believe he is the keyplayer for progress with the united front of the opposition parties. However Hamat Bah is also crucial to play an active role for success of a united front. Halifa Sallah knows the popular votes and public outcry is more important than his flagbearship and counting on him to sacrifice that if it comes at high level discussions and negotiations between them. Halifa may humbly advice NADDs executive to accord him the flagbearership. He is very dynamic in Gambian politics. Other schools of thoughts might see this impasse differently. |

No Kobo.
America did not become a super power because of the the words IN GOD WE TRUST. THEY BECAME SO BY WORKING HARD. PRAYERS CAN DO NOTHING WITHOUT EFFORT. UNFORTUNATELY IN THE GAMBIA WE ONLY PRAY AND FOLD OUR HANDS. GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES.
The pyramid has nothing to do with the DA VINCI CODE. HOWEVER, IF YOU ADD THE ALL SEING EYE WITH THE PYRAMID, YOU GET SOMETHING ELSE. THE DA VINCI CODE IS ABOUT THE HOLY GRAIL WHICH IS THE BLOOD LINE OF JESUS CHRIST THROUGH MARY MAGDELAN WHO IS BELIEVED TO HAVE HAD A DAUGHTER WITH CHRIST.
THE PYRAMID ON THE DALLAR AND THE ALL SEEING EYE IS A SYMOL OF A DIFFERENT GROUP IF WE ARE TO BELIEVE THE CONSPIRACY THEORIES. |

| "Da vinca code" implies mysterious secrets and clues. Its slot as an expression to imply decoding "certain special features of the dollar" |

I totally agree. Ousainou's chances of defeating Yahya is greater, and even more so if it comes to a two man horse race. The NADD base should refrain from selecting a presidential candidate, on the condition that they don't get over looked when it comes to appointing ministers. I think that would be a fair deal. yeh,rah |

| NADDs base has the potential for a flagbearer. They were initially committed towards the united front when endorsing NADDs MOU and should have properly selected the flagbearer. I wotld recommend the flagbearer be given the mandate to steer for the first term of about five years and if then look about the possibility of bringing another in the next term. One must lead and others follow! |
