I want you to know that HARUNA CAN BUILD A BUNGALOW. HARUNA HAS BUILT TWO BUNGALOWS ALREADY. BUT HARUNA DOES NOT DESIRE TO BUILD A SKYSCRAPER. I don't want our friend Karim to get the wrong idea that is why I wrote in capital letters.
And what is this Malian friend quip and lobbying for Gaddafi all about? First you accuse me of aiding and abetting discrimination and foiling attempts at Tuareg self-determination. Then you appoint me spokeman for an idiot. What has this world come to. I was gonna entrust my search for a wife to you but I have to reconsider that honour. I want you to know you are forcing me to move on requesting the Georgia National guard to banish you to the confines of Padukah. I'm waiting for Kukeh to say a word about me. He's looking forward to a lasso.
So have you reconsidered your disposition vis-a-vis Hon. Fatty and the new Congress Party?? I am not gonna let up until I get a yes or no. At least tell me you're thinking about it. New Gambians!!! Haruna. I gotta introduce the new Congress Party to our other friend Quicken. What do you think? MQJGDT. Darbo. Al Mu'Umin.

Our Malian friend probably lobbied for Gaddafi, but what good do you expect from an association of autocratic country-owners collectively pretending to the mantle of accountable leadership.
If Haruna lacks the skill to build a bungalow, why entrust him with the mammoth task of constructing a fifty plus skyscraper from start to finish. This AU project is humorous in the extreme, but the real joke is on Gaddafi and his colleagues.

King of kings, huh. I say, bite the bullet and call him Jah Rastafarai!
Fitting for a former coup-leader, self-declared sponsor-of-African rebel
movements; reformed terrorist, former mad-dog of the Middle East. As they say a
mind is a terrible thing to waste.

It all unravelled when Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi stormed out of the meeting
room just after 2 am this morning and a few minutes later, all the leaders filed
out.
Asked why Colonel Gaddafi had stormed out, Tanzanian Foreign Minister Bernard
Membe said Gaddafi ‘’may have felt unwell’’ and that is the reason he
left the meeting.
Today’s deadlock followed a deal on Sunday under which the AU was to create
an “African Union Authority” with a president, a vice-president and
secretaries covering various portfolios such as Foreign Affairs, climate change,
poverty eradication, research and pandemics such as Aids.
As he walked out of the meeting, Kenyan Foreign Minister Moses Wetang'ula
said: “We will have a report by nine in the morning’’.
But, by two pm today, the leaders were still meeting.
Sources at the meeting told the Nation that Colonel Gaddafi, who is chairman of
the AU stormed out because he did not agree with his colleagues on three main
issues:
* The naming of the new authority to run Africa.
* Col Gaddafi demanded that he should be given the title: “king of
kings’’ but his colleagues refused.
* There was no agreement on the nature of portfolios to be created.
Earlier as the summit opened, Colonel Gaddafi and Ugandan President Yoweri
Museveni clashed over the use of traditional leaders by the Libyan leader to
push his agenda for the creation of a United States of Africa.
At a debate that saw many interjections by Mr Museveni, the Ugandan leader
warned that he would arrest any traditional leader in his country who claimed to
speak for Col Gaddafi.
The main dispute over creation of the new continental body currently is at the
technical level as on Sunday, the AU agreed to convert the its commission into
the ‘’African Union Authority. ‘’
The dispute now is over the powers that the new authority should enjoy.
At another level, there are questions over the powers that the members of the
AU are ready to cede to the new authority.
What is also emerging is that Colonel Gaddafi, who replaced Tanzanian President
as the new chairman of the AU on Monday, is riding roughshod over other members
of the AU at its debates.
According to sources who briefed the Nation in Addis, only two leaders have
been taking Col Gaddafi to task in the debate over the new body to be created by
the AU.
The two leaders are Mr Museveni and Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe.
What is happening currently is that many AU leaders are either on their way out
or are too new and as such can hardly take on a leader who has been in power for
close to 40 years..
