I think this Gambia Journal piece deserves greater exposure (see below).
That the office of the president should issue a press statement about such a
thing to be broadcast over our national media is, well, rather
understandable under current circumstances. When the head goes awry, the
entire body goes awry as well. Miracle indeed!
Next thing we know, a vulture perched on a tree at state house will also be
touted as a miracle and a sign of the great leader's elevated status in the
supernatural scheme of things!
So will a frog croaking in the sun and a cock crowing at midnight! Or even a
goat bleating in the dark!! Hush, hush, it's a miracle - "another testimony
to the mercurial Gambian leader’s special place in the supernatural scheme
of things!!!"

Another Sign of “Miracle” Surfaces

Banjul, October 9 The Gambia Journal
On Tuesday 9th October, the Office of the President again issued another of
its weird press statements. The release stated that a palm tree at the back
yard of President Jammeh’s residence at State House had bored a
triple-headed fruit giving yet another testimony to the mercurial Gambian
leader’s special place in the supernatural scheme of things. The release
further called on Gambians to join President Jammeh on whose backyard, the
“Almighty Allah has decided to display these miraculous powers.” The highly
supernatural Gambian leader has been increasing his efforts to portray
himself in supernatural light claiming to have been “mandated” to cure all
sorts of ailments ranging from HIV/AIDS, asthma, diabetics, hypertension,
and very soon, cancer. The Gambia Radio and Television Services, GRTS, has
already started making much noise out of the so called miracle.
