Yes Bigchiefin. What's wrong with me? I am a very open minded fella. I spew out even my subconcious thoughts. I was always thought to criticize, but constructively. I believe that there is something wrong with NADD's structures and it has to be pointed out. Someone has to talk about it. You and i know that even a fissure in NADD's structure will cost us dearly at this moment. One man can't proof to be an obstacle. I might be very angry when writing about Darboe being a traitor. My choice of words may be uncalled for but i still stand by my idea of what i think he is.
BigChiefin:
I am 24 and have been abroad for the past 10yrs, which definitely makes me a novice on Gambian politics.The only reason I mentioned my goegraphical status is to show you my meager knowledge of gambian politics but it doesnt mean that am totally unaware of whats happening.
BornAfrican:
Wow, wot a young guy but at a very critical age. I am 25 and i first left the Gambia in 1987. I do visit there frequently. I have been involved in a lot of things in the Gambia. I have worked with the US Peace Corps and the VSO (Voluntary Service Overseas) from the UK. All these were during my visits to the Gambia. They were projects i wasn't paid a dime for. You see, like yourself, i love the Gambia so much. Infact Romeo and Juliet's relationship cannot equal my romance with the Gambia at the moment. I want to be aware of everything happening out there. I will speak out about anyone whom i think wants to soil our soup. After all, is that not the core of democracy? i mean the freedom of expression.
BigChiefin
I read news on Gambian affairs on a regular basis and understands the country's dire need for changes within the political arena.
BornAfrican:
You read the news Mr. I just come back from there three months back. Sometimes what you read either understate or overstate the reality on the ground. Unfortunately, most of the things on this site and many more even understate that reality. The Gambia is bleeding and her heart is pumping blood in her veins so fast.I mean people are very dynamic. Our thoughts are getting more advanced than the infrastructure. This shows that most people know what they are missing and the state can't keep surpressing these people. At some point, they will turned back at the state and this we define as "civil conflict". Something has to be done quick or else we will bleed to death. Darboe knows that. Why try to bring confusion at this crucial time. There is no time for such. Africa always has leadership problems. I know Darboe wants to lead, but at this time, he should put our intrest before his. Infact it is for the intrest of the Gambians that he wants to lead. For that same reason, let him hold his horses, and let us go thru this raggedy era and come out victorious.
BigChiefin:
Darbo as a beligerant politician stood up against the APRC in two consecutive elections just to help safe us from the ills of Jammeh. Society cannot remain stangnant and people cannot likewise. darbo might change his political strategy but that doesn't make him a traitor. He is a hero and should be praised for exposing the APRC on numerous occasions. Excuse my vernacular "Don't hate the player, hate the game."
BornAfrican:
He stood against Jammeh twice but he still can't bring him down. Here is a new political strategy. He knows its the right move. He helped build it and wants to destroy it. NADD has given me so much hope. I refuse to let one man destroy it on my watch. I never agree that saying: "hate the game and not the player". sometimes the player contorts the rules of the game for the outcome to suit his desires. In such circumstances, i will do justice to the game and not hate it. It is the player that messed up with the rules that has to be hated.
BigChiefin:
I do not wish to offend you or anybody that shares the same views as you. I've been checking this site for a while but never subscribed to it until lately, but bornafrican, please dont feel too emotional.
BornAfrican:
No Mr. i know you are too smart to go on offending people on a forum like this. We all agree to disagree here at this Bantaba. We are all emotional in our own ways. I understand that some people will not agree with me. They too have their sense of reasoning since they are rational beings. This constitutes to the freedom that exists here at the Bantaba. I like to incite people's thoughts sometimes. This does not mean i write things not worth their weight in gold. I believe whatever i write is well thought of before i put it out here for everyone to read.
BigChiefin
try to destroy that cankerworm inhibited in you and have a better view on Gambia's political landscape. Please watch your language because this site is viewed by people of different demographies. We need the likes of Dabo and sallah. i would appreciate your understanding.
BornAfrican:
Ain't no cankerworm in me to destroy. I am just one free individual living in a free world. Just like i say, i think about it before i write it. I will always stand by it. With time, my opinions about what i write may change but that does not mean i regret what i write. Don't worry Bigchiefin, next time i won't use abusive words, i promise. Just like i said, we all get emotional in our own ways. Sorry about those words(and not the idea), if i offend you or anyone who read the article: "Darboe is a Traitor".

Ousainou knows he's got the largest political party within NADD so he always want to play his cards differently. With his **** i n ugly head, i swear, if that man becomes the president of the Gambia, he will be worse than Yaya Jammeh. His heart is filled with ill feelings and would want to settle scores with all his old "enemies". Such leaders we don't need. People, believe me, i am the least optmistic person out here about the Gambia's socio-economic future. There are so many bad and corrupted people out there and Ousainou Darboe is one of them. **** i n *****.

I do not undertand why some people in this forum don't trust lawyer darboe,,what Did he do that you cannot trust him,,You guys need to come out with facts not fictions ..I don't know him that much,, but i know he is a good lawyer and leader of UDP,,, who has been in struggle against jammeh since day 1...
Why do we have a problem with someone speaking their mind,, if Darboe feels something wrong is in the making is his right as a member of NADD to voice out his position..We have to be ready to debate on issue rather than ignoring them...
I don't care if he get to lead NADD or not but i did not see anything in this forum that he did that's untrustworthy,,,so Dalton and others give us facts about the man,,,instead of empty speculations... |

| To tell the truth ,then all we need is change and so Darboe sallah et al most accept to join hands to do so.If they fail to agree we the rest shall not want to hear any explanations from them coz it would have been too damn late! excuse my vernacular please. We just want them to know that divided as we are in this playing field it serves none of our purposes except assist junkung the beast to perpetuate his hold on to power. Yes we can argue till dooms day on other issues but on this one we should and most unite so Darboe Sallah please take heed . I once read somewhere that even monkeys do have a community spirit which they exploit to build that living bridge to cross a river. And ants too i was informed. why then not us Human Gambians |

| As for bro NorhoRR or whatever well thanks for displaying your senese of sympathy on the death of a compatriot. Any way we just hope that there are'nt many like you in this world /our Gambian Diaporians world because if we do have them in huge numbers ndeysan we are doomed. May be the western brainwashing has bleached your GAMBIANNESS THAT YOU CANNOT EVEN RESPECT AN INNOCENT MAN WHO WAS SO BRUTALLY SLAINED. IF IT WAS YOUR BRO /SISTER OR AUNTIE I STILL THINK YOU WOULD'NT CARE LESS BECAUSE YOU ARE IN BABYLON.DEYDA WILL BE MENTIONED HERE IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT; SHUT UP YOUR NASTY FACE BRO OKAY |

Do not blame the president orhis govement those people sent to jail are not innocent they dont go to jail for notting they did something thats why they are in jail.You have to blame those in jail rather than the govement.The Gambia system is working and it ower kids that wil enjoyed the benifet of what we old people are suffering.we have to thing of the feature not today.
I think there are some people in prison, who have a different opinion and speak out and they are arrested. I mean if they say something against the wrong person they are put in prison. If they are guility let them be sentenced, they are in prison that is correct but on what charges!!, where is the trial. it took a long time for names to be named, and people are still missing. |

| Not yet sure to subscribe on "Darboe a traitor". Can only proof that if the alliance fail to gain ground and loosing to Jammeh and APRC come Election 2006. I believe he is a key player for an overwhelming victory against Jammeh and APRC. He has a crazy trump card to steer up one of the most decisive decisions in the milestones of Gambian politics to democratically defeat tyranny and dictatorship. Although time is running out but lets try and see how to convince him to accept the best opinions, pleas and strategies for Election 2006, which appears to be seemingly being at high risks against the masses but in favour of Jammeh and the minority APRC. |

I agree with you that the playing field is a secondary issue and if they unite their forces they can overcome most of the constraints, became more effective and vocal to uproot Jammeh's tyranny and defeat APRC to translate into victory for democracy, human rights, freedom, progress, peace, prosperity and stability of the Gambia. |

| Why do we stand on this crossroad? We are deeply sinking in the ocean of dreams? Any potential leader to bail us out? WARNING! DANGER! Election 2006 is in your door steps. |
