[Within the week in the Gambian political scene in which the unlearned Sheikh Professor Dr President Tyrant of the Gambia had grossly abused the position of his Office by attempting to incite tribal discord in the Gambia] Evian.
FYI, Yahya has been abusing the position of his office by HIS CRIMES, and by attempting to incite tribal discord in the Gambia for 15 odd years.
[with his irresponsible and malicious castigation of Mandingos,]
No. Targeting Mandingos is just redmeat for the clueless idiots. You don't even get it do you? Just focus on his crimes. WIthout the crmes, Yahya is the best President one could ever hope for and I will tell you why later. Don't start worrying about Mandingos now because you are lost amid a profusion of charlatanry. Mandingos don't need apologists. They want and need honest fellow citizens.
[the usual on-line PDOIS loathers] Evian.
Just to buttress your point, I Haruna, I loathe PDOIS.
[had no better response other than to resort to their same old tried and tested but failed disinformation campaign of accusing admirers of Halifa Sallah as regarding him as their God.] Evian.
Dis-information???? I guess you forgot about Foroyaa. Besides, If I were you, I wouldn't worry too much about anyone resorting to DIS-INFORMATION by ACCUSING admirers of Halifa Sallah of regarding th
e Latter as God. An accusation is an accusation. It can be true or false. Particularly an allegation about a plitical party and its "admirers". You either is or you m'aint. Much like saying Ousainou is a coward or APRC, UDP or NRP are tribalists, forgetting PDOIS of course. These are not dis-information campaigns. They are par for the course for the politically ambitious. I wouldn't lose sleep over it if I were you and you are comfident within yourself.
[Also In the same week during which the blood-thirsty rogue that we have as President in our country is yet still craving to spill more blood of innocent Gambians and comparing Gambian journalists to rat feaces,] Evian.
Evian, I hate to break the news to you, but Yahya has been Yahya since July 22nd 1994. Surely you are not just waking up to Yahya are you? Didn't you share with us that he was the reason your folks exiled you from Gambia and made ou lose your job there??? Of course I don't believe you but you had good reason to blieve that even if it weren't true.
[some supporters of our country’s main opposition faction consider it more worth their time to re-engage others in the same useless arguments about the credibility of Halifa Sallah and the insignificant number of votes that PDOIS had been able to attract as a political party over the years. For this group of people, Suntou, Haruna et al, their interpretation of political c
redibility is primarily determined about the number of votes that could be attracted by a candidate or political party.] Evian.
YES!!!
[If such a misplaced rationale is anything to go by then the APRC ought to be the most credible political party in the Gambia since 1994.] Evian.
NO. You see Evian I think you should quit thinking with your brains. Use som'n else. First of all, the reason why the number of votes is a determinant of credibility in Gambia is that WHen you take APRC out of the vote calculus, you are left with UDP, NRP, PDOIS. Now these three parties all operate under the same duress or since you asserted yourself that Yahya oppresses Mandingos inordinately and that we all agree that UDP or NRP has more Mandingos than PDOIS by sheer arithemetic, it means that UDP and NRP are inordinately hemmorhaged as compared to PDOIS. Given this extant condition, when you compare PDOIS votes to UDP or NRP, PDOIS' votes are insignificant. And they all yield their votes from the same pool of oppressed citizens. This is kinda complicated. If you need me to clarify further, I will rely on my feeble sociology background to faranfansi it for you. SO for your cockamayme postulation, No-one is comparing APRC to PDOIS, UDP, or NRP. You get
it? That will be scientifically unacceptable actuary.
[No! that is not so and indeed it cannot be so.] Evian.
You have convinced yourself of the muddied thought process and you then tell us that is not so. You darn right its20not so. You idiot.
[This same PDOIS loathers would argue that the APRC wins because of electoral fraud] Evian.
Even you have asserted that APRC wins because of electoral fraud. Are you a PDOIS loather?????? Have you made your appointment to Campama yet?
[but PDOIS does not win because of their lack of credibility.] Evian.
Here again, no one is talking about PDOIS winning. This is because for PDOIS to win, they have to poll more than NRP or UDP. Then poll more than APRC. You see how the arithemetic works. What we say is that PDOIS' poll hovers around 2% and for their near-three-decades of existence in Gambia. SO don't worry about PDOIS winning anything yet. Don't put the cart before the horse.Or camel for you. Incroyable. I haven't seen grown men and women waste so much time and resources chasing after a 2% stake. PDOIS is politically incompetent and short-sighted in its vision.
[I can’t count the number of times that I felt obliged to get involved in such ultimately counter-productive and divisive discourse within the ranks of Gambia’s on-line opposition supporters. Personally I am now exhausted by it.] Evian.
Yeah and when you are obliged to get involved, you end up confusing yourself and everybody else.
[I feel that there are far more important matters towards which we should be expending our precious time, energy and resources rather than responding to the Halifa-haters or someone who regards Ousainou Darboe as a coward.] E
vian.
Like what????
[It is a fact that neither Halifa Sallah nor Ousainou Darboe and neither UDP/NRP nor PDOIS are the architects or causes of the current tyranny prevailing in our beloved country. On the contrary, Yahya Jammeh is the problem. We should focus on overcoming the problem instead of wearing ourselves out by engaging in futile efforts trying to discredit honorable Gambians like Halifa or Ousainou or Hamat.] Evian.
PDOIS and Halifa did not think Yahya alone was the architect or cause of the current tyranny prevailing in Gambia. Hearken back to their argument for the MOU when they pretended they wanted to coalesce with UDP/NRP. Now that you are refreshed, It was because PDOIS claimed they did not wish to see another Tyrant in Ousainou come after Yahya and that was why they burdened the prospective coalition to death with the prosecution of a future tyrant. PDOIS wouldn't know a tyrant from a snake-oil salesman if they slept in the same bed with him/her.
[PDOIS could easily have been the most dominant political party in the country had the Party's leadership embraced the dominant culture of political patronage in the country. However the demise of such a system is why PDOIS is in existence.] Eian.
And the charlatan marches on. Evian, Do you not know that political patronnage is more present in Gambia today than 15 years ago???/ How can you say it died (demised) then? And then attach PDOIS' fosse "virulence" to a falsehood??? You guys are pathetic. Sec
ondly, PDOIS is the most politically-patronizing party Gambia has ever known. You wanna know how????
Ask any PDOISard and they will tell you they benefitted from "free education", "Free study", "Partisan Foroyaa employment". This is the most insiduous patronnage I know of. What is the difference between buying a vote with cash and buying it wit other consideration??? WHen you take away the number of PDOIS voters who in one way or the other benefitted from PDOIS largesse, you will end up with 0.05% not 2%. ANy questions???? DO your own friggin surveys. You don't have to take my word fo it. And before I can shit right, they tell you oh but education is good for the mind and soul. A it were said in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, a mender of bad souls. Look at the content of the edumacation, and when you're done, file it under Quo for quid. You people are so dishonest, you make me sick.
[We must as a matter of priority resist the tyrant’s attempts to introduce ethnicity to the center stage of politics in our country.] Evian.
How about starting with EVIAN/Bailo.
[We must not allow him to further divide and rule us with his disgraceful tactics of tribal politics.] Evian.
Tribaliss can only divide and rule tribalists. You don't believe it do you Evian???
[We are all Mandingos, Wollofs, Serreres, Fulas, Jolas, Karoninkas, Akus, Manjagos, Sarahules, an
d most importantly we are all Gambians first.] Evian.
You are lying Evian. We are not all these tribes. WHy would we be??? If we were, there would not be any need for Gambia. And how can we be all these tribes at the same time. Besides, we are not Gambian first. You should have said "more importantly, we are all Gambians. And that is only after we acknowledged our diversity to form a common union. WHat an idiot???
[It ought to be apparent to most Gambians by now that no single ethnic group owns the Gambia or is mainly responsible for our current national political dispensation. The Gambia belongs to all present and future Gambians of whatever religion, ethnicity, race, creed, colour or IQ. We could either succeed or fail together.] Evian.
Only Evian can hang a lantern on the obvious.
[I am therefore urging us all to expend our concerted synergies and influences towards rebuilding bridges between the two main opposition factions and leadership with a view to achieving a united opposition to contest in 2011 Presidential election against the nationally and internationally discredited incumbent.] Evian.
A united opposition my foot. WHy is that necessary to contest the election in 2011. PDOIS must join UDP/NRP alliance or go to hell in a hand basket. Haruna.
