The common saying that "absolute power corrupts" is clearly been manifested by newly discovered Dr. Jammeh. When one has absolute power to make decisions and reign supreme to his subordinates and to an entire nation, one begins to feel super human.
When everything around you is non challenging and submissive, the human mind begins to look for other things possibly unheard of. This is the stage where Jammeh finds himself.
His absolute power is so intoxicating that he is begining to see the world and people around him with a different set of eyes. He is presented daily with few or no challenges according to his vision.
This is the time when leaders lose touch with reality and expose themselves to all the dangers that comes with leadership. By now Yahya Jammeh is not worried about his security. He is not concern about the daily breath and butter of his citizenry. He has overlive his oath of office and therefore looking for a new world to tackle.
Jammeh has stepped into the danger zone and unfortunately things are only going to get worst for the Gambian people.
A little historic reminder when Dawda Jawara started dreaming about the Singaporian dream when he had lost every inch of our economic sector to greedy politicians. Remember when he started to mediate the war between Iraq and Iran when out people were facing their economic and black out war at home. This was the time he claimed to be a champion of human rights when our citizens don't have access to CLEAN drinking water, decent healthcare and education. It was when Jawara seized to become the leader he was elected to be.
This is the historic stage Jammeh finds himself and right now he has lost the trend of his leadership and so call economic development. He is falling off the cracks and has hit the ceiling. Once you reach the ceiling there is nowhere to go but down and he is falling fast.

Like the old adage " The idle mind is a devils workshop", when we cease to be challanged, we labor on things that only exposes our weakness. A mind is a great thing to waste.
