Thank you all bantaba patriots. The poem, like the many understood is meant to emphasise that "united we stand, divided we fall apart." Again, it is clear that people have different understanding of Nadd, mine is simply the union of the opposition, and none is excluded except the one that isolated himself.

"The brick layers in millions
The cemented bonds of love and facts"

This help to show the bond among Nadd supporters is unbreakable.

"The unshakable memorandum of Understanding
The wisdom of real patriots"

It cannot be argued that such history is being cultivated by people with wisdom, and by nature of what they are doing, i honored them by calling them patriots.

"The guards of angels
The scribes of angels"

Anything likened to the angels of God is golden. From the scriptures, we are told that angels are made out of bliss, humans out of clay, and the devil out of fire.

"At 360 degrees, we are still Nadd
At 180 degrees, we were Nadd
At 0 degree, we were Nadd"

It is obvious that we withnessed many withdrawals, but still even those that quit Nadd amidst any reasons are calling on other opposition members to unite with them. This togetherness is truly Nadd.

"We watched the devil's whisper
We withnessed the famous split
We conquered the devil with a sword"

It is obvious that the division was the devil's whisper, and the split is so famous that Saja Taal used the word after i predicted it in a poem. pull out the records for that.

The poem's heading; "Our Nadd, we pray for you." shows that this is a supplication to God, asking Him to flourish unity of the opposition. Which is also my ending in the last two parts.

The prophets called themselves prophets, because they received the inspiration that they are messengers and prophets. We are ordinary humans, and in our little ways we contribute to democracy. This effort/endeavor for a positive fruition is called patriotism, though no one can praisesing himself or herself to be a patriot, but when it is titled on you, don't feel proud of it, but take it to be an encourage. At the same time, it's a supplication, and i say ameen to it.

Kondorong is not sure if NRP will like the poem, but we heard Hamat calling for Nadd members to join them. Why is this so ? That's the true Nadd. The Nadd magic bottles are good for this forum, and that's where i have been drinking mine from day one-from the marabouts of true patriots.

Flourish Nadd ! Flourish Nadd ! Flourish Nadd !

Kon, no one can read what is in another person's heart. We can only take people for what they say and do on a consistence basis. As far as I am concern, on this forum and many others one can differentiate between those who have Gambia at heart and those who are looking for a way to get part of the cake.
I strongly believe that brother Dalton like many others on this forum loves their country and wants the best for the Gambia. They have clearly over and over express their open mindeness, maturity and willingness to stand up for the truth. If that does not qualify someone as a patriot then tell us what a patriot is. Will they do or act otherwise at the detriment of the Gambian people, it is upto to history to judge. As for now we can separate between those who have the heart and those who try so hard to fit in.

As for NADD, here is how I look at it. The idea that brought NADD into being has broaden from an opposition unity to unseat a president, to a National agenda that represent the best hope ever for the Gambian people. NADD's agenda is beyond Halifa Sallah, Darboe, Bah and anyone of those opposition parties. It started as a plan to get rid of the present regime, but its short and long term goals are a win for all. NADD's pillars are a democratic model that seek to eradicate any form of political oppression and domination by any one group, hence the reason why many Gambians embraced the idea of NADD once they listen to parts of its agenda.

So for you kon, or anybody to chastise the NADD agenda as a mere political agenda is a total disregard to the plight of our people and country. No matter what form of unity any group calls for, it cannot supersede the:
One that seek to create a level playing field for all Gambians.
One that seek to eradicate monarchical governments created by greed
One that seek to limit Presidential powers and restore sanity in government
One that will guarantee freedom of expression and association.
One that will educate the people about their civic rights so they can seize to taken for granted by corrupt, lazy politicians.
One that will finally lay the foundation for economic prosperity and a high standard of living that everyone of our people deserves.

This is the idea that created NADD that even Darboe/Bah embraced and it remains the best hope for our people.

Additionally, the way NADD was shaped and the birth of the MOU is all one need to understand to not underestimate the vision in Halifa Sallah. His ability to coordinate and create a National agenda gives him political leverage over the others. His presents in any negotiation creates such urgency and high expectation, that people with hidden agendas don't have the guts to sit with him and negotiate openly. Thus they were motivated to sign the MOU without fully understanding what they were given up. We can only blamed them for rubber stamping a National agenda that is superior to all other plans we have seen so far.

Long live NADD
Long live Unity
United we stand, devided we all perish.
Peace..
