This is brilliant BambaLaye. Truly Brilliant! I must fess that I almost decided to um . . . go get my own "kujang kujangs" as well. I mean well, you know . . .they help in getting "a few really big boogers out" right? Thanks for sharing!

But this week you did something even more courageous. You stood> right up before thousands of Gambians and you openly confessed that you're> "a gifted spiritual murderer."> > AJJ: Well, Dibba, thank you. That was easy for me to say because, you know,> for a Kambilai Dirimo who has taken so many lives, it's so easy to fess up> to something like that.> > Dibba: AJJ, after you said that, I got the whole transcript of your speech> about the AIDS cure, and I stayed up two nights straight, honest-to-God. I> could not sleep people! I was like, reading, and reading and reading. I> couldn't put it down believe me.> > I was just feeling for you, having to fess up to getting rid of your closest> comrades in the coup; killed some, drove some away, I mean what a guy!> > AJJ: Well, you know that speech, it was full of complete spiritual powers> revealed to me in my dreams. It was time for the mandate; I am over forty> years old you know, heehaw…> > Dibba: And you bloated so convincingly, so confidently about facing up to> your "enemies" in the west. There was a hidden message about redemption, I> mean coming of age, isn't there? You do not care about western medicine and> what they say about you in the west? That really rang a bell with all your> fools like those at the Daily Observer. They were jumping all over the> place…that prolific butcher doctor…what is his name?> > AJJ: I appreciate that Dibba. You know, let me tell you something. Fighting> evil spirits, it's hard work. I, um … my kujang kujangs, um …> > Dibba: AJJ, here's tissue paper; go ahead, cry if you want to. You know> only real men are so emotional. I'm not ashamed to tell you that when I> watched your speech, I cried too…but then I ended up laughing the whole> night.> > AJJ: I really appreciate that, Dibba.> > Dibba: But AJJ, I have to be straight with you now. I … I have to say it is> difficult for me to talk to you because I also feel really scared that your> strong spirits will kill me.> > AJJ: Dibba, No, no, no, don't you worry. I can tell even before I left my> house. When I set eyes on you Dibba, I know what you think. You see, there> are three days in the world: yesterday, today and the day before… I own> tomorrow so that does not count. You see, my friend, they say I sacrifice> human beings to stay alive but hey, they don't know the sacrifice I made for> this country. Only if they know what the Jalangba tell me to do and I> refused. I said no!> > Dibba: AJJ, why did you have to lie?> > AJJ: About what? Let me tell you something Dibba. Gambians should be happy> to have a president like me. I am a true Pan-African; I am a man of action> so what I say does not matter. You know I have to give speeches, press> conference – only once. I have to say something…whatever comes to my mind or> my dreams. You see, people should look at my actions not what I say. You> know, sometimes I joke here and there to make people laugh. I learnt that in> the army. You make people laugh and keep their hopes high so they like you.> > Dibba: I feel that you conned us. You embarrassed me. You embarrassed this> country.> > AJJ: I'm … I'm a special person. I am the only president whose name is in> the Holy Quran don't forget that. I am AJJ Ibn Kambilai!> > Dibba: How much of what you say is fabricated?> > AJJ: Not that much. I mean, all the minerals and the oil are real. AIDS> cure, uh, sick people … Asthma, high blood pressure, infertility…. That> attempted coup was real…. And the dollar coming down to four Dalasis. They> were in my dreams.> > Dibba: OK, I want to move on to the Carnegie story, because that part of> your story is so compelling, in terms of your struggle to test what they> were mining in Sanyang with these bis-a-body compulsions you have sometimes.> Then you get to how you're catching all these western exploiters economic> saboteurs, you know. But that's a lie too, isn't it?> > AJJ: Dibba, I … I … had a hunch. I mean a compulsion took over me and I just> had to say something.…. I had scientific evidence that supported what I was> thinking…. Well, I mean, my scientists said they doubted Carnegie and I> could kick them out that, um, that there was a chance that we can be a> super-power.> > Dibba: AJJ, when will you come clean about Koro Ceesay?> > AJJ: Well, there too I've talked to — well, it's, like, a secret, and it's …> since that time I've struggled with the idea of coming clean but you know….> > Dibba: No, the lie of it. It's not an idea, AJJ. That's a lie.> > AJJ: [muffled sobbing]> > Dibba: Do you now wish you had not done what you did, AJJ, something to warn> the Gambian people that your presidency has pretty much been a thousand> pretty lies, not to mention a few really big boogers?> > AJJ: (sobbing) Dibba, you … you're right. I'm sorry. I've … I've lied to the> people of Gambia so many times. But I can't, I don't want to bury my head> any more!> > Dibba: It's not too late. I believe the truth can set your soul free.> > AJJ: Dibba, uh, obviously, this hasn't been a great few years for me or, I> guess, uh, for those guys over there in, uh, Mile 2. I mean, I feel like I> came to talk to you and finally I have been honest with you. I have, you> know, essentially admitted to … to lying, big time…Bilaye Bilalye Talaye.> > Dibba: (To the studio audience) And so we move ahead — optimistic about our> country, dedicated to its future and believing in the changes to come.> > May God bless The Gambia…..thank you!
