Thanks gentlemen for shariing. Risky is an understatement, desperate has to be anyone who embarked on such measures for worldly success. I call on my brothers and sister as we prepare to go to Banjul for christmas holidays to be good role models and great citizens. We lie to our people when we visit Banjul consciously or subconsciously in the way we talk and act. We go through lengths to save money for these well needed vocations, get to Banjul and act like we have a river of wealth in our various overseas hideouts, spending lavishly because the exchange rate is on our side and dressing elegantly creating an attractive desire for our statesmen. We walk around enjoying a two weeks celebrity status just to come back and struggle to catch up with our bills. Most of us overseas are struggling by any measure but we do not communicate that to them but rather enjoy semester status. Lets have frank and open dialogues with them, encourage them to stay in school or have a profession of some sort. Fact is if you travel overseas at this era without education or profession, life just gets tougher. I came here back in 1994 when the issues SS cards, this was two years after I graduated high school and worked for the central statistics during the census. I went through series of life changing experiences and still going through them. I can only imagine what one will go through in modern day America when you can't even open a bank account or obtain a drivers license if you don't have a social security card. May Allah bless The Gambia and her people.
