Well, Dr. Jaiteh, Jammeh himself has definitely gone Nukular. Hope he 
doesn't take us all along.

>President Yahya Jammeh last Friday announced the discovery of Uranium
>and four other minerals in the country. The other minerals are

>Below  is the full text of the president's announcement:
>
>Fellow Gambians, first of all I want to congratulate you on the
>occasion of Yowmul Ashura, which is the Islamic New year. I also want
>to thank you for the massive show of support and solidarity yesterday
>for the first anniversary of major breakthrough. If you remember a few
>years ago, when I was announcing the discovery of oil in The Gambia,
>at that time I remember telling you Gambians and non-Gambians alike in
>this country that Gambia has strategic mineral resources which then I
>said I was not going to announce but later on at the right moment we
>will tell you what some of the minerals are. Today am very happy to
>announce to you that we have discovered proven reserves of titanium in
>the Gambia. The Americans call it tai-ta-nium. We also have iron in
>the country. We also have zirconium, as well as silicon. But the
>biggest discovery is the discovery of uranium in The Gambia. The
>presence of uranium in The Gambia. At that time we couldn't make such
>announcements, not that because I was not certain about it, but
>because before we make such important announcements we have take care
>of our security and defence to put in a mechanism that can defend this
>country effectively. Not that at that time we couldn't defend our
>country as required, but since some of the minerals are of strategic
>importance, we are to make sure that we have put in a mechanism that
>can defend this country's sovereignty effectively. On this very joyous
>moment of Yowmul Ashura and the discovery of these strategic minerals.
>I would repeat, TITANIUM, IRON, ZIRCONIUM, SILICON and URANIUM.
>
>Of course I have more surprises for you later in the year, but I want
>to make sure that whatever I pronounce is a reality. As far as we are
>concerned, these minerals I have talked about, we are 100 percent
>certain that they are in this country and they can be exploited. On
>this note I wish you a happy Yowmal Ashura.
>
>These minerals can be useful; they can also be useless, God forbid.
>They can only be useful if we Gambians close ranks and work as
>Gambians. Change our attitude, love each other and defend our country
>to the last person. Of course we have divergence of political views,
>but that should not translate into enmity and hostility
>
>between us. Gambia will be a great super power as I told you, if we
>work together. Not a military super power, that is not a super power.
>That is a super bully. I'm talking of a super power of hope for
>humanity, super power of love, a country where all people,
>irrespective of their race, their religion or origin can live together
>in peace as the Almighty Allah wants His creation to live together in
>peace. We can achieve that. In fact we are achieving that but we can
>go to the sky if we want to if we all change our attitude and work for
>the interest of our country, for our own interest.
>
>When these minerals are exploited, you cannot imagine the number of
>youth that are going to be employed, but you the youth of these
>country who will be the primary beneficiaries of all these discoveries
>must change your attitude, must look inwards and not outwards. There
>is no country where you can earn money easily without working. Even
>stealing is working because you end up going to jail where you work
>harder for nothing. Let us love one another, let us respect our
>country, live and die for our country. I wish you all the best.
>
>In a separate but related development, the Office of the President
>also extended the deadline for Carnegie Minerals to explain their
>operations in The Gambia to today, 21st January by 1400hrs. The
>release explained that the concerned company has already been duly
>notified and that the consequences of their failure to comply would
>include the cancellation of their mining license, in addition to "more
>stringent measures."
