Bakary, the baby scorpions are not the issue here and you have a right to
close your eyes in tihis occasion, just as many of us closed our eyes on
many other wrongs that goes on in our country. I do not take your point
personal for we are all stakeholders in this. You obviously overlooked my
sentiment of the baby scorpions and may be you think you are more happy for
our success that I do, but I was there. I also happen to be concerned with
the state of our nation, which obviously is not an issue for you at this
time. You have a right to express your franchise just like I do and so let
us speak our minds. I think I also speak for a lot of Gambians.
Chi Jaama

>>Being one of the baby scorpions more than 20 years ago, I agree they need

>>With the above quote, we should also not complain when Yaya funds his ZOO;

>>billion dollars; buys himself a jet; tens of fleets of cars; lavishing
>>millions of dollars; hiding our loans in secret bank accounts with Ebou
>>Jallow; giving his supporters in the US tens of thousands of dollars; and
>>the list goes on. All this, while teachers salaries are stagnant for the
>>past decade; farmers crops are not bought; non existent electric supply;
>>sporadic water supply; marginal funding of our education system; poor
>>health
>>care; crumbling infrastructure; a bankrupt state, etc. And so, do
>>Gambians
>>really care or understand the nature of the patron-client relationship
>>they
>>are fostering with Yaya and the APRC? I don't think we really care or
>>understand what we champion. The average Gambian lives up country, is
>>poor,
>>uneducated, and bears the brunt of the excesses of the state, and it is
>>their progress that the true condition of our people is measured, not mine
>>or the urbanner, even though the urbaners are just a blink apart from the
>>massive poverty and degradation.
>>
>>If Yaya inherited his wealth, or patented a product to justify his
>>accumulation, this would not be an issue, for he earned it and can spend
>>it
>>as he pleases. However, he did not earn it with his less than $1,500 a
>>month salary. Unless you know something that Gambians don't know, but
>>Yaya
>>came to the scene poor and malnourished and could not even cure his mouth
>>sores (ratatoi). With our coffers, he has done well for himself at the
>>expense of the nation and none that is honest can fail to see that. How
>>can
>>Yaya or anyone justify the wealth he is sitting on? No one can even
>>attempt
>>at that ridicule. So, I really feel sorry for our state of mind, that
>>Africans would continue to turn the blind eye to their own ruination for
>>God
>>knows what reasons. Forget the countless folks that he murdered during
>>the
>>past decade.
>>
>>What obtains in our country today is Gambians have resigned themselves to
>>getting whatever from whom ever, and at any cost. The pillar all lean on
>>is
>>survival. They know that what Yaya gives them is stolen but that is not
>>their interest. What they care is getting something, anything. But we
>>all
>>know that the overwhelming masses are suffering and do not have access to
>>anything.
>>
>>So, does the below quote still obtain?

>>" if PRESIDENT JAMMEH'S MONEY DONATION TO OUR SOCCER HEROS has anything to

>>
>>I support the baby Scorpions and they are an extension of my past,
>>however,
>>that does not mean any endorsement of Yaya's looting our coffers and
