Somehow I managed to find the stamina to browse the net searching for the new political fad on the block called "Allgambian.net", and stumbled on my old friend brother Essa's melancholic politico-spiritual musings...Chei!
I don't know what "stamina" has to do with time and space but this poetic rambling does sound very masochist.  It seems to me that NADD has a lot of stamina procrastinating before taking proactive measures to get back their God given rights.
Waye chai chai naar..hehe.  Well done bro.  :)

It is the hidden creator! O God! Who controls time not anyone else. Time, space and matter are the factors HE the one who must be obeyed sent to us. We are within time and space, we are matter itself. HE who must be obeyed is not like us. HE made us. HE respects those who are patient! Stamina counts in this wilderness called time and space.

One day Malik Sy was called in by the colonialists, they asked him to show them an amoury. This man from Tiwaawone showed them his "kurus" -prayer beads, he smiled back at the powerful colonial governor. Malik used stamina to win, Bamba used stamina to end tyranny, Nyass Kumba used stamina to establish his school of thought, Oumarul Futiyu used stamina to eject colonialism, Foday Kaba Dumubuya used stamina to crown glory and values, Lumumba used stamina to defend our brown continent, Amilcar Cabral used stamina to chase the wild geese who came to install palaces within our midst, Mandela uses! stamina! He is still with us. Where is apartheid? Its gone! Where is Steve Biko? He is gone but his legacy is still being guided by time. Where is Sankara? He is gone but his legacy is till being guided by time.

When Bamba was asked to abandon his cause he refused. The colonial master came to him with "Mayombeh" the thick forest in Gabon. Bamba! never bowed before the colonial master. He leaned on HE who must be obeyed. He rode on the boat called Stamina. Today we can see the neon lights shining in Touba. Nyass Kumba went through the same hard road. HE who must be obeyed carved the way during the course of time. Today the same neon lights are in Kaolack.

Has Futiyu not taught us how to resist with that huge army he had near Banjagara? He did! Oumarul Futiyu fought to the last dot. HE who must be obeyed has erected the mosque of the late Futiyu Taal along the grand corniche of Dakar!

Lumumba drank his own blood for the sake of Congo. He was betrayed by his own brother(matter) within history, time and space. HE who must be obeyed has indeed vindicated Patrice. Could anyone escape these betraying fangs? Kabila is gone! Many have died, Chei! Congo is still boiling. Has time stopped? No. Has spaced been so tight? Yes. Has the ONE WHO MUST BE OBEYED gone? HE is omnipotent and omnipresent.

George Washington fought against the same vein. He stood to brood and then freed his people from colonial domination. George the great! His wisdom has created a great democracy called America! It is called the land of the free and the brave. When his people were thirsty for freedom Washington quenched that thirst! In the abundance of freedom the brave do always drink.

No revolution can be won without stamina.Country men and country women please stay in stamina's boat until the end,cause the end is nearer than expected.Nkrumah once cautioned those who wanted to make a name,then enjoy the fruits of the struggle....to beware of the possibility of missing both.

Where is Nkrumah? His "matter" is gone but time is still guarding his legacy.He who lives to by hope and stamina dies by them.He who lives by despair and slark time dies by them.Ranting counts in this game neither can it weigh the balance alone! Even talking can be "tiresome" where stamina is scarce.

Country men and country women,no plate is palatable before victory knocks on the door.No cup is sweet before tyrnny is scraped.No dish is edible before injustice is raked.No conversation can be "decent" before a dictator who releases foul air.No home can be safe before the killers are caged.No lights can be on, neither will ideas shine before a ruthless heart.

No soul can sail in the sea of freedom before the claws of that night owl are plucked. Stamina calls on you country men and country women to see through the shores of Gambia our homeland.Near this sweet country called home stamina is waiting for those who care for it.Do not give up! Do not give up! "Its a hard way to travel! its a rough long way to go!" These were the words of a famous American singer...Otis Brown. Stamina is the only gas that can "feed" the vehicle we are using at the moment.

The dictatorial thorny tree we are facing has been shaken,its roots are leaving the ground.Stamina! Please! GOD!HE who must be obeyed is here to help those who fight against any other power that wants to compete HIS! God loves the patient.Stamina is the answer. Long live freedom! Gambia we are ready to wipe your tears with God!
