Should Gambians decide to do away with a republic for monarchy, I would
dare suggest they chose empire over kingdom for the following reasons:
1. We will be the only by popular demand empire in the whole of Africa,
may be the world should we decide there is no American empire!
2. While a king may sound and look cool, an emperor sounds even more
majestic and grander.
3. An empire will best suit the chiefs as they can easily rename their
districts as kingdoms and not to lose out the Koringholu and Nyancholu
will take their rightful place as king-makers.
4. the Mandingmorri will become the soothsayers and the Jula sankaranka,
bankers and stock market brokers!
5. everybody else serfs in the great empire call (??) Haruna what do we
call it?
6. no more military coup, just palace coups
the trouble of course is empires need to conquer to prosper but
geopolitical situation "island-state" makes that a little challenging
though not impossible.
What a wonderful world it will be :)
