This is the greatest speech by Jawara ever in his political life. It was made around Independence when he said:
"Independence is not a magical formula which will transform your peanuts into diamonds. Independence does not mean an overnight change from poverty to wealth or that leisure will replace hardwork. It means facing the fact that we shall be on our own, and that by our own efforts we must earn our keep"
This speech very much equates with Kenndedy's speech of what you can do for your government.
