(JollofNews) – Straight to the point: Within 21 days Gambians have witnessed two acts of lawlessness in Kanilai by folks who have shown their determination to stand against the verdict and sovereignty of Gambians. While it has been reported that the Interior Minister said the latest incident was as a result of miscommunication, yet I do not buy that narrative. This is because one would expect that Gambian soldiers would by now be able to recognize ECOMIG forces.
Our soldiers must know that ECOMIG forces are not adversaries. Hence if ECOMIG forces should show up in Kanilai at anytime, one would expect that a simple phone call by our soldiers to GAF headquarters would suffice. Why can’t ECOMIG also make a simple call to their command or GAF headquarters to obtain access? But to allow such an encounter to deteriorate into live firing tells me something is not right. This incident could have been a bloodbath!
As a citizen therefore I take this incident with great concern. Are there civilians and soldiers still loyal to Yaya Jammeh as president of the Gambia? If that is the case I therefore see their actions as purely aimed at directly injuring my voice and sovereignty after the December 1 election. I see it as an act directly aimed at aiding and abetting a brutal tyranny in our homeland. I see it as an act that completely disregards the destruction of the lives of Gambians at the hands of a brutal regime. That is unacceptable. Therefore it is high time the government takes effective control of the country in order to forestall a violent crisis that we avoided in December. This means also effectively putting all Yaya Jammeh properties under state custody.
The reason why the nine NIA officers were arrested and charged for murder is the same reason why all properties under the name of Yaya Jammeh, Kanilai Farms and KGI must be confiscated by the State until a proper judicial determination is done. The murders and tortures and the huge amount of wealth amassed by Yaya Jammeh were illegal and cannot be ignored. This is also why bodies are being exhumed and political prisoners being released. All these actions speak to one fundamental fact. That fundamental fact is that Yaya Jammeh was acting outside of the law in ruling the Gambia hence his abuse of power and the uncontrolled and widespread acquisition of various properties including the Kanilai palace and ranch. These are all acts of corruption that cannot be ignored.
Hence Chief Servant Adama Barrow and no Gambian for that matter must be in any illusion that for the purpose of national security and cohesion, Yaya Jammeh properties must be put under the firm control of the State at the first instance. In that regard ECOMIG forces must be used to secure these properties while Gambian soldiers are withdrawn. Instead what we need is to have the Gambia Armed Forces undergo a thorough audit.
It is clear that our armed forces was severely compromised and corrupted by Yaya Jammeh. Through unnecessary and illegal recruitment and underserved promotions and personal control of the army, Yaya Jammeh had succeeded in negatively politicizing the military and turning it into a public enemy. Hence in building the new Gambia, it would also require cleansing and restructuring the army entirely. Sacred military values, standards and form must be injected back into the Gambia Armed Forces to make it a truly national, professional and depoliticized military. But before that, the government must use ECOMIG for strategic functions.
The Government needs to make it clear to those who wish to deny to know that the Gambia was supposed to be a democratic dispensation since 1997 when the constitution came into force. Yet for 20 years, Yaya Jammeh and APRC bastardised that constitution to their satisfaction. They subjected Gambians to direct physical harm and wanton plunder of our resources in total contravention of the constitution and the norms of democracy. Therefore when we went to elections on December 1 and the people spoke, it is a legal obligation on all Gambians to respect that decision. Any attempt to engage in physical activity aimed at denying that verdict constitutes treason because it means such a person is now seeking to subvert the will of the people thereby aiming to overthrow a democratically elected government.
Thus the government must let all civilians and security personnel understand that much as one has a right to support any party and politician, yet no one has the right to violently reject the will of the citizenry in which they chose their government. The actions of those civilians and soldiers in Kanilai so far constitute a serious crime for which there is need for government action. For that matter, ECOMIG forces must be deployed to secure that compound as well as all other Yaya Jammeh properties until the law decides on their fate.
While it is commendable that the Interior Minister is engaged in mediation efforts in our communities especially in Foni, however acts of politically instigated lawlessness as we have seen in Foni, Talinding, and Jimara and elsewhere must not be tolerated. The full force of the law must be deployed to bring perpetrators to book. While everyone has a right to peacefully oppose the government and criticize the president, yet no one has the right to overthrow the will of Gambians as expressed in an election. Therefore Pres. Barrow must exert effective control.
God Bless The Gambia
“Thus the government must let all civilians and security personnel understand that much as one has a right to support any party and politician, yet no one has the right to violently reject the will of the citizenry in which they chose their government.

Mad(i), Nyamakala jallo,
The above excerpt from your stupid/very stupid assertion explicitly shows how you are simply anointed with ignorance and forgetfulness.
Don’t you remember that Solo Sandeng and Ousainou Darboe were arrested on the same terms, contravening the laws by illegally assembling?
Are you affriming that because your bitty and incompetent administration is present, so no civil liberties thus exist? You are kidding. The Gambian opposition to this inept administration cannot be cajoled nor threatened. People will revolt and express their views inspite of all your administration’s threats and coercions. And inspite of your senseless and Mad(i) on-line uneducated sermons.
Should the right to democratic expression halt at the presence of the bad Barrow administration?
Babu Soli
Your unrestrained irresponsible ramblings highlighted your classless status as an unintelligent educated ass hole. How dare you called Madi’s balanced analysis an on-line uneducated sermons when everything from you is just hubris, twisted and fabricated analogues. Madi brought to the table practical solutions, ideas and suggestions to the ever challenging problems of our nation,while you Babu just incite, insult and propagate nothing but hatred and division. I think the people of Kanilai should know that the citizenry will not stand idly by while they violently reject their will. Ecomig should neutralize this village by any means necessary, either by the gun, by the bullet or by force relocation to Casamance where most of them came from at the first place.
And for Babu Soli, he can continue to bark as that is all he can do.
Natty Naughty, is this you the self-described “lady”? Please Simmer Down and act like a real lady unless you are of you know the type. Regardless, you should talk like a lady and not like a bleeping “B…”. I had advised you that your Foul language which is a sure sign of the lack of Womanhood or Motherhood quality in you needs to be tempered. It is Not lady like. Unless, as the case may be, you are and make believe “lady”. Babu Soli has Single handedly taken on all the Ethnic Group Based “Fassaya” (Mandinka for Betrayal or taking sides) and Delusionary “Zembo” (Mandinka for power) Wannabes on this and many other Fora and came on top of the Deck. My Rural background and upbringing gave me an Independent, Proud, Honest, Sincere appreciation for saying what needs to be said, when it needs to be said and to those who need to hear it. I have said it before and I am saying it again. Until the Collective Ethnic Group Insults, Assaults, Attacks and Criminalization as well as Insane attempts to Parson Non Grata any and all Jolas by Claiming that they are from Cassamance, Ceases and Goes by the way of the Dinasaur among otherwise Potentially intelligent and Reasonable People, I will not put down or rather retire my Advocacy and Agitation against Person or Persons who Preach such Vomit like Vitriol in the name of Ethnic Cleansing and Marginalization in the “New “Old Gambia”. No amount of Foul mouths and insults would STOP me from Calling them to Carpet, to Address such Cynical, Mercurial, Insidious and Subliminal Messages coming from those who ought to know Better. If other Ethnic Groups were the Victims, I would be as Forthwith with my Outrage as I am with the Jola Victimization by the Current UDP Led Regime and Militant SUPPORTERS. To the UDP Led Regime and Supporters, Let’s Curb and Tame the Current Unhealthy Obessision and Pre-occupation with the Jola of the Fonis, Cassamance and GAMBIA as a whole. The Jola hates no one or Ethnic Group and would not make an Enemy of anyone, Except the ones who make an Enemy of the Jola. The Mandinka and Jola have lived and intermarried for Centuries Inspite or Despite the historical undercurrent of Painful ancestral maltreatment the Jola endured during the “Marabout Wars” of Conversion to Islam. The Wars affected both Jola and Mandinka Non- Islamic Populations throughout the Senegambia. However, it affected the Jola more due to their Strong Believe in their African Cultural and Traditional Practices including African Traditional Religions or ATR. The Jola Eagalitarian philosophy, Fierce Independence with Zealous Allegiance to their Cultural Practices, resisted all Forms of Subjugation whether African or European Until the early Part of the 20th Century. To understand the Jola or who I am, One would be Served to embrace the Saying, “Know Thy Self”. If nothing else, the Jola knows who He or She is. The Jola does not seek to Dominate, nor be Dominated. He or she would not belittle others, not allow others to belittle him or her. He or she is generous and honest to a “fault”. Jola Workethic is Evident throughout the Senegambia His or her quest for Self-Sufficiency and Independence, is well known by those who live with and Know the Jola. The Jola is by no means Perfect and he or she seeks no perfection, but Self-Actualization in the Pursuit of Self-Determination or the Reverse. Gambia is than Total of One Individual, One Ethnic Group and Region. One Gambia, One People, One Destiny.
Zzzzzzzh! @Sidi, can you stop writing olden English. We are not in the Shakespeare dramas. What hell is wrong with you. You’re as outdated as @Babu the Georgy Porgy. What’s your fake ass chauvinism about?What really is it doing you two fake *** idiots? Damn! You two are so ignorantly swollen headed thinking you worth even a grit in a heap of crap. Primitive and mentally underdeveloped species like you need a training to fit in Gambia’s cherished democracy.
“Jack”, Simply Simmer Down. You may make sense.
I think what Yayah did to many people, especially in Kaninlai, is getting them more stupid than himself. Imagine water he washed his hand and feet in, is sauce for others’ food. The average people out there have missed the ‘meat in oil and rice’, never even able to realise that Jammeh’s establishments in Kaninlai are crime scenes. What is cooking up out in Kaninlai, for Gambia army personnel and Kaninlai residents to pose a threat to the Ecomig, is a mystery to be unravelled. Would I have made a serious mistake by now if I where commander of the Ecomig Nibatt? So they say it doesn’t take every Tom and Harry to be a leader. Kaninlai needs to be resolved and sealed off by Ecomig as soon as possible. The smokey fire out there needs to be watered out, cost what it costs because the ticking of their clock is haunting.
I can’t understand why Gambian soldiers are even stationed there. This residence is by now a private residence. It must be thoroughly searched and abandon for good. If further threat should emanate from there, then appropriate force be used to neutralise the place. This village or by large Foni cannot hold the country hostage.
Babu Soli, first of all, you need to get your head out of the (mule’s ass). Are you serious talking about:-someone is not educated? Come on…, writing English words is one thing, and ‘education’, is another. Tell me when your head is freed from the ‘mule’s ass’. Untill then, who should care about what you say..Anyway, I love to go to the circus where you belong. Don’t you belong the Baboon?
Let truth be told, Madi has spoken the truth, there is lawlessness in Kanilai and it need to stop. It’s time for Barrow and Mai Fatty to be tough and to put end to all these nonsenses, why are the soldiers even guarding a private residence. This is what you get when you allowed ignorant and uneducated soldiers into the time. I am sick and tired if people talking about tribalism, if one is to speak the truth, the foninkas are the most tribalism. No other tribe ever won in Foni since Yaya came to power, they voted Yaya 100% each elections. Gambia belongs to all Gambians irrespective of tribe, Jola,Mandinka, fula, wollof, serer, SE ahule, manjako we are all Gambians, Jammeh is gone and will never be the president of Gambia. Those knuckle heads soldiers hand-picked be jammeh with little or no education still dream that yaya is the only fit to be president of the Gambia. We were enslaved by tryant jammeh, now we are all free to say whatever we want, let’s thank God and work together for the betterment of the country. Yaya was president for 22 years and enough is enougj
Nasty Dreadful Natty Dread,
If you believe I’ll come on line to appease your nasty idiotic mannerisms, Bourne’s, Jack the Jackass’s and Mad(i) Jobarteh Nyamakala Jaalo’s, you are only senselessly chiding/kidding yourself.
Of course, you’ll see eye to eye with Mad(i) Nyamakala Jaalo, Jack the Jackass and Bourne, because you all belong to the same club of unprogressive, reactionary and neocolonialist elements. Chips of the same block!
When we are talking about upholding and defending our sovereignty and independence, stupid Mad(i) Nyamakalo Jaalo reaffirms foreign military occupation just to entrench his inept administration.
When we talk about self esteem and self reliance to motivate and stimulate our independence(not dependence on the outside), he stupidly came on line with that uneducated analyses/fumbles on “why we travel to the West”. Issues that have no fundamental bearing/relevance on our livelihood.
Yes, he can persuade idiots like Nasty Dreadful natty dread, Bourne and that Jackass called Jack the Ass and all the foolhardy Mad(i) disciples.
When we want to stimulate internal production and consumption, your inept and incompetent administration came up with an idiotic decree in lifting the ban on onion and other agricultural produce importation just to appease the agricultural producers in Senegal at the detriment of our local producers and consumers. These and other decrees that came into force and will continue to be promulgated by the administration of the British Argos Watchman in “presidential clothing” only manifest the short-sightedness in national developmet planning by an incomptent bunch of administrators.
But Nyamakalo Jaalo Mad(i) and his blind-folded enablers are behind the circuit to play the embecile’s trumpets.
In as much as this Nyamakala Jaalo has the damned right to rant and grunt like a pig, we have the Allah-given right to refute his false and stupd allegations.
Sidi Bojang and thousands of Gambians silent and vocal, inside and outside the Gambia share the same ideas and feelings with us.
The Foni people especially the Kanilai residents have the right to fight foreign forces. Those forces are neocolonial invaders who are exploiting the resources of our country only to benefit a lone incompetent figure, Barrow.
Babu Soli and Sidi idiot Bojang
One’s head buried in a mule’s ass while the other living in olden days with old skool grammar and dumb and dumber came to mind. Unless you guys can free your heads from the mule’s ass and desist from olden days styles of grammar, bigotry, hate and ugly mannerisms,you will never be relevant in this new Gambia we are trying to create. As your boss fled with his tail between his skinny sorry legs with loot from government coffers, peace still reside in our homeland contrary to your doomsday predictions and insidious daily insults and false, misleading accusations against the outstanding members of this government and citizens, like Madi Jobarteh. You two guys must be thankful to this medium for giving you a platform to disparage those above you socially, politically, economically as well as intellectually as a way of staying relevant.
If you encourage the people of Foni to fight the ecomig forces, forces invited in by the legitimate elected leader of our country, then you can’t call yourself a democrat or a patriot. You are just an anarchist and that put all your twisted rantings against this government ludicrous, confused and delusional.
May Allah help you two to overcome the hatred that is ravaging you. Amen.
Natty Naughty, did you get a bargain for “Semi” to Female or Womanhood” Personality? You need to if you have not done so. Your Pretencious image of affluence betrays your need to be what you never was and will never be. Foul mouths are usually an indication of lack of ability to express oneself. I will not allow or permit myself to move in with you into your Cesspool and Muck full of Elfs pending the ultimate mutation. Respect yourself as I respect your natural gender, but reserve my opinion on you and your fellows Bourne, the village boy who wants to be a Cityslicker Buba Sanyang and Jack.
@Babu, (the head in shit) and @Sidi, (makes Shakespeare shake in his grave), you are two ugly species who are trying to find exactly which block of chips you belong. Presumably at this over grown age of your lives, that’s something sad to be unraveled. A fortnight party of booze, no work and with no sense, makes @Babu a misplaced ‘chip’. Sorry, find the right person to help you find your block of chips. Could @Sidi,(makes Shakespeare shake in his grave) help you? Or maybe he too has the same problem..
Nasty dreaful natty dread and his co-legionnaire idiot Bourne, Tuesday 25th April 2017
I don’t refer to neither criticize someone else’s lexical, grammatical, structural/syntactic, orthographic, phonetic and semantic English usages. I know these are foreign to me. I learnt them from school. They are not mine. My languages are Mansanka coupled with an excellent use of Mandinka, Fula, Wollof and some Sarahule. Those are my indigenous languages. I will fumble if I err in using those noble languages. Isn’t it a disappointment and a disgrace to correct a countryman’s English, a language which is foreign to you all? Henceforth you should address issues and forget about correcting one’s use of the colonial/imperialist English language. If we hadn’t been enslaved and colonized, our lingua franca would have been one of those noble indigenous languages. Shame on both of you,with your neocolonial brains!
You have both been unwittingly trying to defend an undefendable; a corrupt, tribalistic and incompetent administration. You two lack humane conscience. You are clinging onto fantacies when the realities are abound. Our people have already got the noose on their necks and they have started to groan. The persistent electricity failure has already arisen suspicion/criticism about the efficiency of the incompetent administration. While the Mai Fatty/Ousainou Darbo clique of tribalist administrators are vying to entrench their tribal positions and live/dress the flambouyant lifestyle, the rest of our fellow countrypeople are still in dire need for the most basic and essential commodities.
This is the reality after the British Argos Watchman, in presidential clothing, Barrow plied Banjul-Dakar-Paris-Brazzaville to increase his per diem emoluments on his D200,000 unjustifiable monthly wage.
You are both sick and illusive. Your elusive notions of a better Gambia with your bad administration, are ludicrous,anachronic and abhorrent. The composition of these corrupt elements will only yield havoc and hardship. That’s why I’m always asking you to stop your blind support for them. They are just useless. May the Almighty Allah(SWT) assist us in throwing this inept administration away!
Whilst countries are moving fast forward we have a watchman in presidential clothing being remote-controlled from a neocolonialist Frenchnized Senegalese leader. ALLA HU AKBARR. ALLAH PLEASE HELP US!
Come on @Babu (the mule ass gunk-head idiot). You think anyone will be impressed, expressing your lack of empathy for the English language. Gee!, flamboyantly you’ve lashed out your bombastic favorites to underrate my lack of control of a language you claimed shouldn’t be our language much more official. It can be clearly noted in my expressions that I don’t impress with English language but rather use it to simply get my message across, hence reminding you that, you @Babu Soli, who only learned English in perhaps a mission school, can’t be any near Shakespeare himself. You don’t seem to be getting me. You just gotta be simple and straightforward in putting your messages across, otherwise you’ll feel your awful experience of how diverse a language English could be.
The only way you can impress one like me is when you publish your Mansanka alphabets and numerics. I am not sure you can do that you fake *** idiot. You are jealous, hateful and a backdoor stooge of the neo-colonialist, capable of rolling every Gambian ‘head down the ditch’ just to buy you a designers watch, that’ll ‘read the time for you in the Netherlands’ as usual. Keep coming with more of your worthless hypocrites’ garbage.
Name error above; same old (Bourne), not Bourne-in
