In hal pular, our elders normally say “Keppudoh yurni jombagjo.” Literally it translates “The one in haste of seeing the bride went peeping through the windows.” It is obvious that the bride will arrive at the groom’s house. Over the years, we witnessed series of political and intellectual prostitutions. The latest of them all is the biggest bomb.
People should have limit of loyalty to their political leaders, or simply believe in their solid principles only. If they fail like Waa succumbed to the Nkolu-nkolu tyranny, you will still have pride to your self. On the other hand, once they stick to the guns you are with them in belief and spirit.
During the launching of NADD in Atlanta, I heard this Mbarodi figure utter thus:
“How can you tell me to be law abiding when I am not a law breaker?” It is obvious that he was questioning Jammeh’s human rights violations. In a similar vein, when we contacted him about UGAMA, he uttered thus: “Al-taa see” This means go ahead and relax. The “minty-tofy” or “kebba-dampha” was giving a good flavor in his mouth from the APRC tyranny from then on.
Like my respected Nigerian chiefs would say “How dare? How dare you? How dare you forget so soon?”

During the early days of the military takeover, Juwara was kept incommunicado for at least eighteen months by the A(F)PRC. He was tortured to death, humiliated and body tattered to shreds. In his second encounter with them, he served six months for treason on his famous utterance “Lets take to the streets.” (Courtesy of the Point Newspaper.)
I may understand if Waa truly wants to serve his country in good faith. I may understand if Waa needs a job to feed and shelter his family. If he betrays principle for a temporal gain then it’s shame. There is a tendency for one to be a trash just like Dr. Taa. The later might be what is under the microscope now. I stand to be corrected on this one.
*Yanks, good to see you around. But I tell you to send me to go look after the cows. I am confident I can do that.
