Santanfa, I don't think it is really appropriate to call people disciple simply because they support a particular party's ideas. People using that term are desperate defenders of their divisive intentions. You seem to be bought by those who were desperate in defending their indefensible act of tearing our nation apart.
So with all due respect you have some ideas that you support either they are social or political. Does that make you a disciple? Would you accept being a disciple of Pa Nderry?
My response here is to draw your attention to destractors from the truth. If you know what PDOIS subscribes to for our nation, you will forget about party affiliation and promote their ideas regardless of whether they ever come to power or not. What is good for our people should stick with us all regardless of who uttered it.
So if being a disciple means love and sacrifice for our Gambia, then you are so right, I am # 1 disciple.
Just a thought.... |

Those types of cheap jokes are probably responsible for the party performance which you have referenced many times. Jawara told Gambians that PDOIS was a communist party and that if they were voted in office, they would abolish property rights and even husband's right to his wife would be taken away. The lie sticks with the party beyong the life of Jawara's government.

| PDOIS (DOY) "denu doyadi", meaning not good for purpose, not fit. Such was one foul expression pasted on the face of a party that stood by muscle and words to liberate Gambia from political backwardness. Gambian politics has always known derogative language if that makes a score on opponents. Santafara may be joking but deadly opponents of some parties mean serious business of image distortion. In the process, the entire political process becomes choatic. That has been used before and now continue worst used by the thuggish APRC bnadits in their brutal parade of dirtier politics. |

Karamba,
I think Santanfara is probably among those peddling derogative language against PDOIS. He has been consistently making bias characterization of PDOIS and the person of Halif Sallah. I don’t think he is joking, instead I think his intention is to defame PDOIS and Halifa. Sometime ago he started a topic here on Halifa and Darboe and his lines of argument points to this conclusion. Last week he started a topic in the Gambia L forum and made unfounded statements about PDOIS. Why can’t we give credit where it is due?

brikama, please stop the messy politriks.to start with i was never part of the gambian online debating forums when nadd was form, infact i wasn't even aware of any sort of coalition formation untill after it the grouping was disband. secondly, i never made any comment against pdois holy ideas during election nearing times, never. so if you are looking for a culprit ,start the search fresh. i want to carry out a study of pdois's economic policies yet you are calling that ''unfounded comments''. come on mister. for pdois to win th hearts and mind of many ,they must stop assuming the invincibility concept. every idea or concept get scuritinised, that way ,the outsider make a balance and good judegement.but any time some one make a comment about pdois ,the desk officer's or militant start to harang you ,that is a step backward. stop the sensitivity and get to grip with what is important ,which is how to sell the party's message to the gambian people who have been rejecting the party for the past twenty years. you can blame me all you want, that is not the solution. kobo can bold all his patriotic words,that is not the solution for pdois. start engaging with stuborn gambians on the party's way forward and stop the over sensitivity. people will think there is some thing the party is hiding. why are you folks refusing to be disiples of pdois? what is a desciple? is it so bad that you don't like that comment. if i am a pdois supporter i will happily accept the tag desciple.
did any of you folks read the observer editorial on amie sillah.if not read it. the editor call pdois '' a 2% no hoppers''. that is slanderous comment,but still ,the response should positive. |

Santanfara,
I never said you took part in the formation of NADD. I don't care whether or not you played any part in that endeavor. I am just alluding to the manner you treat PDOIS and Halifa Sallah. I think your cheap remarks are uncalled for.
You accuse PDOIS of being too sentivity to scrutiny, forgeting your own sensitivity. Do you forget what you did to Colonel Sarr for his tribal comments. You exploited his mistake and ran him down. I am a mandinka just like you, but I was not offended by his statements because tribe is a non-issue for me.
I think we would serve Gambia better if we represent others the way we want to be represented ourselves. If Mr. Sarr's statements about your tribe could turn you off like it did, then by extension, others have a right to defend their interest in a similar manner. The golden rule should be guide.
Thanks

| there you go again. keep on talking about irrelevant comments and your attention to make pdois electable will be diverted. the sam sarr issue is a different ball game momane. politics is not about tribal sentitivity or comments. when you intend to back-up a politicain, you have to be ready to be open minded about what non-supporters have to say but not the pdois folks. every body is against them .that is cheap brikama. i careless if you are a fula ,sarahuleh or mandinka. i would have taken on sam or any one if he has lied about manjakous or akus. you keep on the negative verbs. brikama. i don't have time for willy nilly conversation. ask halifa if i had ofended him in any way? then you can give us the feed back. when i started a toipc in gambia l a while ago about why pdois is misunderstoond ,halifa answered some few questions, i wasn't satisfied with some of his answers .he is a politicains, he will always answer questions the way he deemed conveneint.but if you folks keept on believeing that all other non-pdois supporters are devisive and ignorant, well, i am happy of not suporting them. |

Uncle Santa, with all due respect this is where those of us who see light in PDOIS's message differ with some folks who just write because they have access to a computer and forum.
When the plight of our people are at grave end, people joke around with flimsy words trying to discredit people who sacrificed their whole life trying to educate Gambians.
Others like to disagree with people like Halifa because they want to be seen to challenge or test their intellectual IQ. If anyone don't like Halifa or any man that is their beef but if you disagree with the issues then bring them up for debates. All I hear is people trying to discredit the most resourceful in our society with empty rhetoric.
These so called jokes is what brings our nation down. When Jawara made those silly comments about PDOIS it still sticks with the politically ignoramus. He was playing to peoples' minds and checking how unaware our people were.
So please don't reduce the seriousness of debating the issues by trying to joke about issues just to distract.
I can bet uncle Santa you only realized you were joking after we raise eye brows on what you said. If you are being honest with readers here, you were probably even not concious of the fact that using disciples may be offensive to others.
I have previously said I was proud to be associated with progressive ideas regardless of who they come from, but using words to make a statement by implying jokes is distractive and sentimental to say the least.
So please put the issues that you think PDOIS are not good for Gambians here and we will be glad to enlighten the readers on the issues. I think so many people don't have the stomach or mastery to understand what the real issues are affecting our nation. Bring the issues and lets debate.
What say you???? |

Given the present state of the opposition parties in the Gambia, the ONLY people that DESERVE my precious vote are PDOIS.
This is mainly because they have convinced me that they are NOT seasonal politicans and are NOT there to MILK the masses to their death. I remember first attending their meeting in 1987 when i was still in High school. At that gathering 95% where youths like myself, the elderly would just listen, and say, THEY ARE EDUCATED , but laugh it off by adding the Jawara TAG, but they are DOIYADEE.
PDOIS over the years have been practising what they ahve been preaching for over two decades. Besides their MPs i have not heard any MP who set up development funds for their constituents.
They all lead modest lives. All their meetings i have witnessed they ONLY discussed ISSUES no mudslinging.
The biggest burden on the Gambians is INTELLECTUAL DIS-HONESTY. Many educated folks prefer NOT to see the COUNTRY first but themselves.
I said it here before the need to SACRIFICE by HELPING out the VULNERABLE FOLKS who then can SHUN the dirty baits of the politicians. If we EMPOWER these rural folks , then they would 'own' their minds and vote where their interest lies RATHER being coerced.
I suggested INTIATING local projects such as DECENT WATER SUPPLY, ACCESS ROADS, SOCIAL AMENITIES ETC. I have been told of certian projects in some parts of the Gambia where some local INDEPENDENT POLITICIANs intiated some projects single handedly.
I saw these type of projects in neighbouring countries such as SENEGAL. Senegal has a large immigration population and heavily invest in their rural communities in the form of VILLAGE GARDENS for Women, HEALTH FACILITIES, Electrification etc.
Why can't we do the same? If you imagine the rich people that lived in the FAJARA area in the 80s with expensive cars, swam the FILTHY muddy waters in rains everyday. NO DISRESPECT. But they could have intiated self-help projects and improve their locality BUT NO gov't should do that. Ok Gov't should do that thru the local councils. If their own is head of the council, why not remind him of the need of decent roads in the areas they live, before they monies collected ends in the revenue collectors and their bosses?
I will re-iterate it here that i believe the first STEP to reverse the fortune of our people is for us to CHANGE OUR ATTITUDE. ACT MORE DO LITTLE TALK.
Thanks DBaldeh and Brikama for brilliants inputs. |
