Ousman,
Whoever you are? Where ever you live my praises be To Allah and then
to you.You have hit the nail.I think if Africans want to survive politically
in this new world order,we have to do away with leader-centered attitudes,
period.Lets be 'principle-centered' and not leader-centered or be slavish to
'emotional politics'.
Now and again we do pounce on each other here but this time I will bite my
lips tight and Say a big bravo to Dr.Janneh.Even whereas we do not see eye
to eye on certain issues, this is a guy i respect (at least!) for the stand
he has taken vis-a-vis (on being so principled)ie: by adopting a straight
way towards his fight against the current regime.
I do not feel embarassed to recognise the good of any opponent when it
worths commending.Democracy is the tea and its sugar is'concensus' but not
any leader-centered syndrome, period.
Good day to all and wish ya a very happy summer.
Please do not hate me 'coz i don't anybody.Please i beg brothers and
sisters-REJOICE! My deep apologies to any one offended and i have forgiven
all those who might have offended me whether deluberately or not, because
today i am in a very good mood.I believe you all know why.
Lamin Ceesay.
