| Dalton ajarama kadi, I accept with all humility your words and shall henceforth try not to get too engaged, i mean too drunken with emotions as it were. And I once more extend a hand of peace to all Moe included saying we all are in the same boat as the singer sang 'bull wengal gaalgi'do not rock this boat it is ours to keep and get across the wild seas with.Moe do please accept some of us too the bantaba is such a wonderful place to be and of course we can argue ,agree or disagree . This is what earns it the rank of a vibrant forum.You win some arguements and loose some but the aim is to share the grand bantaba. Perhaps i came in on this forum late and failed to picture who is who and thus might have jumped upon some guy(s) unwittingly and caused anger for this I have to bow my head and say baalal lenma with all sincererity. Paapa sabari . |

Dalton,
Thats the strength of the Foni, esp. Sintet where Mandinkas, Jolas and Fulas blend nicely.
Ur fluency in Jola is impressive but am not the least surprised. |

Learn from D.K.Jawara´s mistakes in his endeavour to empower and energise the population towards self-sufficiency. Táy-Sittoh and Jahali-Pacharr projects were ambitious on the drawing board but strangled by lack of adequate workforce and high fuel cost.
These two factors need be recon with to enable progressive implementation of a similar agro- self-sufficiency project.
“African Intellectual”
I have to express my sadness as a means to gather strength to break free from my guilty concise of not being able to write in my language. Saddening, would have expressed myself clearer and much more contextual.
You have defined the dilemma of the “African Intellectual” in a nutshell. Let’s not forget that African governments, their instrument of governance and all bureaucratic institutions are also products of the same neo-colonial mechanism i.e., alienation from own language, culture, tradition, values and immediate environment.
The psychological dimension of the language and culture hegemony is an alienation disorder, a sickness that does not only affect the mental power of intellectuals but the general population (as consumers and producers) as well. All swallowed up in this absent-mindedness. A circumstance of physically being here and now whiles mentally/intellectually in England, USA, or France, or all at the same time. The disorder disconnects the prey from the immediate environment, cognitively (“I think”), self –consciously (“I am”), and self-confidently (“I will, shall, can and able”). The alienation-disorder or colonial cognition behaviour is present in the “comfort of the office”, Dam-vous, Attaya-vous, our cloths, food, shoes and our self presentation.
