Can you remember the Senegalese musician who sang a song titled GAINAKO? Some of the lyrics go thus: GAINAKO MBA DOGULO KHOLI JAMBUR YEH HEY.... with his big CHAYA and straw hat. That used to be popular dance at weddings and naming ceremonies and a must of GRTS saturday night. Kondorong once in a while tries to stretch his legs. I mean stretch not dance.
How does petitioning for poor farmers in her constituency constitute a crime? Was she not elected by the people to represent them and their needs at the national level?
This is a travest! A very sad state of affairs in our dear motherland. When will all Gambians see the light and unite to fight tyranny and injustice?
My thoughts and prayers go out to her and her family.
May God the almighty help us all as we've asked for five more years of hell.
Justice must be served as impunity brings more repression and corruption!
The election was just last week and we have not inaugurated for the next term. What unity do you want? Gambians have voted for their choice and this is what they want. In a democracy the people decide how they want to be governed.
I would like to share a story with you. There were two friends who were laborers and they went out looking for work the whole day and had none. On the way back, they found work but it was too heavy for one man to carry but one of the friend was called who decided that he was not going to share the load so he could afford a loaf of bread for the night.
The other friend however decided not to quarrel and helped put the load on his friend's head. The load was so heavy that both his eye muscles collapsed and could not open his eyes. Instead of sharing the load, he turned around to the friend and said, " Help me open my eyes". It just confirms the story that even though Gambians are capable of voting in for a change they chose the opposite just like the friend who could have shared the load decided to risk his sight.
Like the Mandingos say: MUSO MU TO LEH DUNO LETI, NAA KULI YATA, IKA LAAFA LEH. (The solution to a problematic wife is like the load of an insane person, when the load is heavy, he adds more to it instead of reducing it. Which means you dont solve the problem by divorce but by adding another wife).
