Felicitations/messages for Ndareh is a very nice read, an educative naration of a living tyrannical canopy. Perhaps the piece now, a continuation of the previous of its similitude (felicitations to Ndareh by Baba G. Jallow), will remind and take to task Jammeh and his desperate cronies, who upon coming to power in 94 echoed accountability, transparency and probity. It is also a mockery on Jammeh and those Daily Observer griots who will never stop the praise-singing. Every non-sensical fax, e-mail or telephone conversation is transformed to an editorial or a front-page felicitation. At that point, one will doubt the Observer's independence and impartiality. It is obvious that the press secretary at the office of the president is coordinating with the griots.
If the current state of affairs is to go by, then we achieved the opposite of Jammeh's early slogans. One cannot help but recall the way and manner that succeeding managing editors at the Daily Observer (Dr. Sajar Badara Taal, Dida Halake, and now Neneh Macdol Gaye) continually ran these feliciations in a mood to sell the very devil within midst, painting him as a prophet, a doctor, a democrat or a panafricanist. This shame starts where all other shames stops and continues to the skies. Indeed, big hypocrisy right there, but it doesn't take long for the fire they lid to creep to their thatch houses, notably in the cases for Dr. Taal and Halake. Neneh can as well dig her grave wider and deeper, for it won't take long before she will plunge in that pool to drown for eternity.
Chem lakat, kumba lakat!

Sage Galleh,

soul to regenerate itself. The weekend is already looking bright.
Haruna.

More Messages for Ndareh - Short Story
By Baba Galleh Jallow
Congratulatory messages on the so-called anniversary of the fake revolution
continue to rain into Sad House and smear the shining desk of our benevolent
tyrant His Funky Loonsy Alhaji Doctor Amama Bissaap Rabbit Poo Poo Poo
Pooyati, Square. The latest congratulatory message come from the honorable Mr. Jo
Jo Pondahal of Hesewal fame, managing director of Deep Lip Enterprises. The
Honorable Mr. Pondahal wrote:
“Your Funky Loonsy, as you selfishly celebrate the sad anniversary of your
fake revolution, please accept my condemnation, complaination and fahas for
having risked our lives and normal fulfillment to steal our hopes for a better
future and pride in our nation. When you stole our country, you inherited
national coffers that were overflowing with the wealth of our nation, our blood
and sweat! Energized by your greed as ordained by the devil, which can
convert a productive and luxurious habitat into a dead land of shrubs and thorns,
you have transformed our dear motherland into a land of thieving and lies, of
murder and mayhem, where truth now lies buried deep in the crust of the
earth, and lies are perched on the highest echelons of our national chambers. Even
wild animals, birds and vegetation have felt the ugly transformation you
have visited upon our dear nation. I say: shame on you Funky Loonsy!But I do not
complain, O’ Funky Loonsy, because I am one of those for whom the sweet pot
of putrid honey and usury have opened, thanks to you. All your horrible
misdeeds serve me in good stead, O’ Funky Loonsy, for I who was a poor and
depraved nonentity am now fat and wealthy, so fat and wealthy I have become mentally
blind, capable of seeing and groping only in the horrible darkness of my
heart and mind, a projection of the total darkness in which you now so piously
stumble. But hey, hail the devil! Hail whoever gives me my daily bread and
butter! For is not the world so wrote?
Your sudden and regrettable advent on the powerscape of our beleaguered
nation fully demonstrates that it is not the lack of, or meagerness of resources
that fails nations but the base attitudes of the people that mismanage them –
people like you who are so greedy and selfish that you are only capable of
feeling your own skin and comfort, your own base needs. I do not say thinking
of because I know you are incapable of such a thing as reflection. By your
lack of vision, lack of wisdom, lack of commitment, and bad, bad, Oh so bad
so-called leadership, you have shown that lack of patriotism is a pragmatic
application of naked bullying tactics to starve a nation through destructive
Satan-driven influences and to shun and suppress all positive energy that
threatens to create knowledge and promote peace, prosperity, security and human
well being for which all our common village and townsfolk are crying today.Since
you stole our legitimate rights to exist as a nation, you have greedily and
consistently displayed your utter lack of reliability, credibility,
transparency, accountability and probity and you have consequently injected the germ
of death and decadence into every sector, every community, and every
progressive nook and cranny of this country. Even babies despise you intuitively and
damn your name continuously on their mothers’ backs and bosoms. I have not
said enough, O’ Funky Loonsy. But more darkness to your heart!
