Sigga, This is a seemingly tardy follow-up to your posting but I'm sure if I tell you my entire day was ruined, you can understand why that is. Sigga, The Gambia we knew during our days at GHS is not what we have today and is far what we had envisioned.Our present situation is just pathetic, and please excuse me for lack of a better word. I mean things are just screeeeewed up since these morons hijacked that country. Thus, one of many reasons why it is alarmingly incumbent for our opposition leaders to do everything within their power and in the spirit of unity to help bail us all out of this misery. There is no better time for them put aside personal differences and realise there is only one very clear alternative, and that is to unite and rescue The Gambia from more unsavory and unprecedented nightmares. It will be suicidal to do the unthinkable and sloppily allow Jammeh and his cohorts plunge us into further destitute and mayhem. That is my biggest fear Sigga, and god forbids how leaders in opposition will live with such benign neglect there after is simply beyond me. I just pray they do the right thing come next month. Draconian laws imposed upon us by this brutal regime have severed many of our civil liberties and whoever stand in their way "will not even be able to regret it, because he/she will be six feet deep". These and many other chilling reminders were the words of our "president" who in this interview emphatically sabortages the West for trying to dictate how he should run his "business"(country, in other words). Today Sigga, hardly any good news come out of that little country. All we hear is murder, murder, murder.... This ain't living. The sad part is some us know who is responsible for these acts of terrorism but just somehow can't seem to be able do a damn thing about them. Gambians cannot continue to live in fear for the rest of our lives, for it is such form of fear factor that gives the Tombong Saidys the explicit audacity to spread the kinds of materials we see here on the L and elsewhere. He also thinks there is nothing we can say or do about him disseminating such misinformation and thus found no shame whatsoever in being the short-sighted moron he is and a disgrace to the broadcasting industry, so long as his boss acknowledges that he a staunch cult member of the despotic APRC. I hope he sees the light at the end of the tunnel one day and repent before he realizes Jammeh is just bad news. Perhaps to Jammeh, one can look at it that the only good service that Tombong is rendering is making sure Jammeh's lunch is hot and that the silverwares are nice and clean. What a sorry way to make a living. Don't they all make us sick, Sigga. This is very sad and I shall leave it at that. Back to Jammeh, remember I told you the villain can be funny when he wants to be. Well, take this for instance.In that very same interview, Jammeh was quick to accuse the West that they would buy kola nut from us for say 25 bututs and turn around and sell us a can of coca cola for 5 Dalasis. And his point? Well, I say what he really need to do is to pass that good weed he is smoking. Of course I'm just kidding, but I am convinced that many of you, after viewing this video, would have come to the conclusion that this "president" is UNCOUTH and symbolizes the kinds of mental midgets we have parading as government officials. How can he so conveniently blame the West for robbing Africa off it's wealth and he himself, an african and gambian to be more specific,is able to rob his very own people within just 7 years in power, with hundreds of millions of dollars? What would happen to poor Gambia if his likes rule for the next 400 hundred years? And he really thinks he is looking after our interest afterall. This scrub is able to amass so much wealth that he has to go on live TV and tell the whole world(The West included)that his great great grandchildren will never be poor again. Giving the petit size of the Gambia and it's capita, what this "president" took away from it's poor people is mirrors and empty wine bottles compared what the West allegedly took away from The Gambia alone. It never crosses my mind that we would one day have someone make the Idi Amins look like peanuts in our neck of the woods. That was until jammeh arrives. Good grief! What a liability he has become to the future of this nation. See,I get depressed when I talk like this. The thought of such crap is just too provoking for me to bear. The damage this "president" is doing to our country is irreparable and costly, and my heart bleeds the more I think about it. This is no exaggeration, our state house is ambushed by a mental. This nutcase thinks taking some course in African History of some sort at his leisure perhaps to complete his high school diploma is going help his self-esteem. I personally have nothing against him in trying to further his education. However, I recommend that he first takes classes his civic education, and anything in the psycho-neurosis department would be of very significant help. The poor retard realy needs serious help and I'm dead serious about this statement. Anyway Sigga, I'm not going to drag this issue any longer or stoop any lower than I already have so let me cut this short here till I see some brighter stars at the end of the rainbow, in what would have been still regarded as the "smiling coast of West Africa". Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope for the betterment of our people.Take care and keep up the good work. May God the Gambia. Regards, Mr Makaveli.

Even when he makes sense in certain instances, Jammeh ends up foiling the overall picture by his lopsided irratic philosophies. And I believe the guy thinks that the Gambia is his personal property, his country, his belonging. So while those who agree with him will be treated as human beings, any body else will have less rights than the stray dogs in the street. Tombong, tell your almighty, the one you worship, that democracy is allowing people to have different opinions, and allowing them to express it as long as they are not breaking the law of the land. And remember, the law of the land has to be non biased in the first place. --- Mr Makaveli <[log in to unmask]> wrote: Gambians Online " Designed With The Gambian People In Mind" http://www.gambiansonline.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html You may also send subscription requests to [log in to unmask] if you have problems accessing the web interface and remember to write your full name and e-mail address. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
