Gambia: Ex-President Jammeh Was Never A Benchmark

Njundu Drammeh

(JollofNews) – Nko (I say) Yaya Jammeh wasn’t a benchmark. Whatever he did, through omission or commission, was neither a benchmark nor a standard to look up to.

There was nothing to emulate about him or his misdeeds. He was not a role model that any parent would have asked his or her child to look up to. He was the bogeyman or ogre. So we should stop making reference to his past as the benchmark we should measure our progress against.

A diversion from constitutional norm; Yaya did worse with impunity and no one ever questioned it. A questioning of whatever is happening now; you were completely silent for 22 years. These comparisons and others make me sick.

Ex-President Jammeh

Our past under Yaya was nothing to be proud or to write home about. It wasn’t the hallmark of our history; it was our age of brutality and darkness…. The Coalition came on a high note, not only to do things differently but to also do different things; to put the nation on a higher pedestal; to restore and strengthen our democratic values, the rule of law, human rights; to give us back our pride and dignity lost in the woods of kanilia….. They set for themselves higher values and ideals; they raised the bar higher.

Since the Coalition sets for itself a higher bar and nobler standards, it is against these that we measure their actions, not by those prescribed by Yaya. So when people question the acts or actions of the new Government in the market place they shouldn’t be shouted down and reminded that “Yaya did worst” or “Yaya never respected the Constitution”. Comparisons aren’t only odious but they also provide a justification for underperformance or bad action, or tend to reduce or minimalise a bad effect…

I want to hold my Government to higher standards and better practices. NOT below the par.

  1. N. Drammeh: You have missed the Subliminal and unstated point those who have the God given Rights to make Statements that make you and your persuation go all Tizzy and “toloose it”. Unlike the Fairweather Constitutionalist Salivating for the Crums of a job from the “Dough boy” and the Truncated Third Republic and Coalition Government, there are GAMBIANS who are No less Patriotic but wants to remain Clear of a Regime that is Hell bent on Underminding itself at every turn. Item: First Absconding to Senegal to Supposedly seek refuge under Uncle Macky Sall, while abonding the GAMBIAN Citizenry Adama Barrow and his Clique were supposed to lead. What kind of LEADERSHIP is that? Second, False and later proven lied and misinformation about Jammeh Supposedly Absconding with GAMBIAN money at an alleged amount of 500 Million Dalasis. Proven to be a lie and may be an attempt to Steal or Defraud Gambians of an equal amount to Settle Accounts with the Senegalese Overlords and his Master, Macky Sall. Item: Another lie and falsehood or Whooper told again by the same Discredited Clique and Pathological Corrupt and Ethically challenged Cabal, hooted and tooted about an unproven and non existent Substance or Poison at the State House. The Senegalese Overlord Head of the ECOWAS ECOMIG Force, later Discredited the Adama Barrow and his Clique’ lie and falsehood, when he announced that “there was no Substance or Poison at the State House”. Yet the “Dough boy” and his Clique are Still at their own Volition “Hold up at a Hotel” in the Gambia and refusing to Occupy the State House, while Squandering the Meager Resources and Sovereignty Funds of the State, the Gambia. If this is the Deeds of a Regime and Personality you have No affinity with and or is Opposed to for whatever reason, you would Utilize all Variables present.The unresolved Sad and Tragic Circumstances of the President’s Son who was alleged to have been mauled by a family dog at an Aunt’s house or Compound, while Adama Barrow and his Clique Vacationed at a Hotel in Senegal has been Selfed and Buried without the authorities Investigating the Crime and Potential Child Welfare issues of Child Abuse and Neglect. The Adama Barrow and his Clique Abscondance in to Senegal and Staying at a Hotel would have Outraged you and Potentially sent you over the Cliff. Who paid for that bill after about two weeks of living large at the expense of the GAMBIAN People at the Senegalese Hotel has not been addressed nor Cleared. Nor, has the “Sacrificed” Son’s death addressed or Cleared. The dog was examined and found to be Not Rabid and that it has Never Attacked anyone before the alleged mauling of the poor child Surely there are very important Events and Decisions that Appears to be Unileralist and Despotic. Adding these Major and Less than Credible and Corrupting behavior from the infancy of the Adama Barrow, Mai Fatty and Ousainou Darbo Regime, most Anti Ethnic group Interest Politics Professionals who are Not of the Persuation of an Oppossum and Charmeleon like Politicians are Sitting Out this Transition that is Drifting Without Direction Regime. They do not want to Sell their Ethics, Moral Compass, Reputation and Democratic Principles just to be a part of a Regime that is Hell bent on Violating the Constitution, Stacking the Deck Against other Parties and other Ethnic groups in the Appointments of the Cabinet Members. Squandering Gambian Meager Resources at a Hotel, instead of Hulling their Behinds to the State House, Now! Detractors of my piece would howl and scream at the top of their lungs, claiming “this is a Jammeh supporter, or that it is too soon to hold Adama Barrow and his Government Accountable and Transparent with little or No Malfeasance. Nothing is further from the Truth. I am Not a Member of any Gambian Political Party, Nor Supported or Voted for any Party. The problem is, the Adama Barrow, Mai Fatty and Ousainou Darbo Infant Regime, had from the get go, Exhibited a Propensity for Secrets even in the Oath that was Administered to the Adama Barrow Cabinet. What is this Nonsense of “Not Violating All Secrets for which the Cabinet Members are Exposed or Previewed to”. Such an Oath is one directly from the pages of the “Nteri Kaffo” Oath and many other Ethnic Group Interest Based Cults, in this case, the Mandinka. It has No place in an Oath for a Position for a Cabinet Minister or any other Government under a Constitutional Democratic Dispensation such we have in the Gambia. If Individuals like you are compelled to See no evil, Hear no evil, and Smell no evil based on the Ethnic Group at the Presidency And other top Appointments in Government, I say, Bravo! However, there are a large part of the Majority of GAMBIANS who will not buy into such Narrow minded and ETHNOCENTRIC, TRIBALIST AND NEPOTISTIC PRACTICES. GAMBIANS HAVE MOVED ON FROM THE 1965 AND 1970 GAMBIA TO THE PRESENT. THEY WOULD NOT BE SUBJECTED TO THE BYGONE ERA OF THE FIRST AND SECOND REPUBLIC’S FAILURES.

  2. Sidi, the author of the above article is Mandinka just like most commentators who are all trying to hold President Barrow’s government accountable. It is about time you stop sounding like a broken record and contribute something constructive to the debate instead of your vitriol against Mandinkas. You are too obsessed with Mandinkas, I think you should see a therapist to get some treatment for it. I can only guess that your hatred for Mandinkas stems from your inferiority complex and low self esteem. It won’t surprise me if you had spent most of your life speaking only Mandinka in order to pass yourself as one and now you hate yourself for it just like Yahya. You really need to do something before your hatred, jealousy and feeling of inferiority to Mandinkas and self loathing destroy you. Moreover your convoluted tirades will have an adverse effect on your mental state, try and be concise. I can imagine that may be difficult for you but it will do you good in the long run.

    • Buba, I find it Infantile and rather interesting that an individual who does not know the difference between a DSM Four from a DSM Five would presume to be in a position to offer a diagnosis of any kind other than that of their Psychological State. Those who have limited Communication capacity and a low level of Socio-Political Maturity have a Complex of the “looking glass-self” Syndrome. That is, such Individuals of which you appear to sound and behave like, See the world and people in it through the mirror they see themselves and nothing else. They are Sombis, “Dead” but yet Alive adding nothing to the Workd, except that is limited to their Small and Narrow Myopic views. Their negative reflection of the world is projected to the rest of the world and anyone who confronts such Myopic views is seen as they see themselves in the world. These are the retentive boy or “adult-child” like Individual who sees his family as the Nation State and his Ethnic Group as the World. Pitiful indeed! Dogmatic and Delirious induced Believes and perception, Characterized by a Naked Sense of importance because they can now Wipe without help, somehow convinces them of the course of their futile and lost Cause of Ethnic Politics Hegemony. I speak at least four GAMBIAN languages. I have never thought of Speaking a language as a means to become a member of that languages’ tribe. But then, I am not Surprised that your kind would think so. If that is the Case, so be it. I happen to believe that if the World is full of more people like me and less of you with your language Deficits and Deductuonist World view, the Gambia and the World would be more Peaceful, less Fragmented and more Civil. I have observed that a lot of your kind are so Provincial and Narrow Ethnic Minded that you are the least able to Speak other Gambian Ethnic Languages. I pity anyone or group of people who are still on earth in the modern Nation State and Believe that their Tribe or Clan is the State and their Inward looking Community is the World. I can live with Jolas, Mandinka, Wollof and Aku/Creole and be just at home as I would be in an English speaking Country or FRENCH. What about you? I am not a Functional illiterate in languages as most of your kind tend to be. In the World we live in, even in the Gambia, your kind are a dying breed. I hope you are still holding the Mirror and seeing the World as it really is… Instead of the Intolerant, Insecure and Cowardly picture looking back at you. Embrace it without Projection. Your mental health depends to some measure on it. I am a Professional in the field. Though for ethical reasons, I cannot refer you to me, I can refer you for a Psychological evaluation to Mitigate some of the Psych-Social Deficits inherent in you and your kinds thought process and reaction to certain Stimulus. Trust me, you will be fine. I am Sworn to do no Harm.

      • Sidi I have hit a raw nerve

      • Sidi,“Nteri Kaffo” was born out of frustration about the dominance of all sectors of government by “Banjulians” (Indigenes of Banjul). It was more of a provincial boys club than a Mandinka boys club. It may be true that the membership was mainly Mandinka but that is because Mandinkas are a majority in the country. It was common knowledge at that time that if a provincial boy went up against a “Banjulian” for a job it was pretty much concluded that he will not get the job due to lack of “right connections” within government circles. This has been happening consistently for years, even if the provincial boy is better qualify for the job he usually looses out to the “Banjulian”. It was the same issue trying to get a government scholarship to further your education abroad. Even with “Nteri Kaffo” in place, provincial boys tend to only get scholarships to African countries. Before “Nteri Kaffo” over 90% of all Permanent Sectaries, Directors of government departments, DG of parastatals, Sectary General, Establishment Sectary head of PMO, Accountant General, Auditor General and Heads of the security services the list goes on, were all “Banjulians” the few provincial boys at the top were almost all married to daughters of Banjul. “Nteri Kaffo” was formed to balance this equilibrium. It was true that there were Mandinka ministers but the teams that surround them were almost entirely “Banjulians” these ministers and other politicians have been inundated with complaints from their constituents about lack of opportunities for them. Their constituents could not understand how their representatives who were ministers could not help them. It was out of this sense of powerlessness that certain politicians decided to form “Nteri Kaffo” because they realised that their strength lies in their unity of purpose and that is the only way they can challenge the powerful Banjul lobby and survive it. Their agenda was for positive discrimination in favour of the provincial boy. The ethics of that is up for debate. This was the reason why “Nteri Kaffo” was formed, to fight for the rights of the provincial boys to get their share of the national cake not to promote a Mandinka hegemony as you would like people to believe. I will not deny the possibility that it’s dominant players were Mandinkas. However a lot of provincial boys benefited from it including former president Jammeh because it was “Nteri Kaffo” that fought for provincial boys in the security services to get promotions. Jammeh, like many other provincial boys in the army were passed promotions many times in favour of their colleagues who had the “right connections”, it was the direct and indirect pressure from “Nteri Kaffo” that most of them eventually got the promotion they deserved. So Sidi it’s high time you come up with another conspiracy theory because your current one does not hold water.

  3. Sidi,
    Don’t mind Njundu and Buba for their defense of an incompetent and inept government whose leader, Barrow is the tail trail of all the moments. Being dragged, in the normal way of a semi-educated Muslim High school product (WHERE HE STUDIED LESS THAN FIVE YEARS), there is nothing sufficing to prove that this lingering government will improve what excellent legacies President Jammeh has left behind.
    President Jammeh is a REAL role model, a patriotic Pan-Africanist who had never bowed to the whistling commands of the West inspite of all their stringent economic boycotts. He moved the Gambia a length further than his predecessors and that’s the point of break this incompetent government will start from.
    He has strenghtened Islam and all the relgions and beliefs, girls’ education and worked to alleviate our burden of food insufficiency.
    We are still waiting for documentary evidences to show the “atrocities” they have continuously levied and LIED about him.
    How much is Barrow and his clique of corrupt fat-bellied bourgeoisie are spending at the hotel at the expense of the poor Gambian taxpayers’ coffers? A STAGGERING ONE MILLION DALASIS A DAY!

    • Babu soli, what about jammehs wife milking state coffers going around blowing millions of dollars you forgot about that.economic damage that jammeh did is great wait till accountability start you be surprise unless you go denial.Role model, you may lost your mind a role model respect their citizens and never threaten them never triblist and always gives smile to the people and hopes not a broken promises,e.g eat what you grow, grow what you eat. Fail upon fails.

  4. Babu, have you actually read and understand Njundu’s article? Njundu’s article if anything is ta
    king a swipe at people for justifying some of the controversial actions of Barrow government. Njundu said we should not make excuses for Barrow and his government when they get things wrong by saying and I quote “Yahya did worst”. You have been saying that Barrow will never achieve what Jammeh achieved and Njundu said we should not let Barrow get away with doing wrong things just because Jammeh may have done wrong things in the past. If anyone is trying to defend the indefensible it is you Babu. Can you please tell me one contribution that Sidi made on the forum that is not about his convoluted tirade about his so call conspiracy theory of a Mandinka hegemony?? Babu you have made some contributions here that I agree with and I commend you for it and I put forward counter arguments to your contributions that I do not agree with. That is the beauty of democracy, we all have an opinion and sometimes we see eye to eye and sometimes we agree to disagree. Babu you have been consistent in your criticism of Barrow and his government and that is what is needed in the new Gambia. Some people to take the government to task. The difference between you and Sidi is that you criticise the government, it’s policies and sometimes the personalities at play but you do not make it a tribal issue. Sidi on the other hand has never made any contribution that has not been about tribalism. He has consistently singled out Mandinkas and portray them as the devil incarnate. It is time to tell him to shut up!. Enough of his rubbish and lies about Mandinkas.

    • Buba: Try as you might to paint me as a “Mandinka hater” as a way of unsophisticatedly trying to lie and manufacture Falsehoods, while using kindergarten psychology to try to generate Support for your Ethnic Group Interest Politics, Which you attempt to unseccessfully Twist and Turn to fit your Lies and Falsehoods. The Amateur that you are is Demonstrated by you and your fellow travelers trying to Silence those who Critize or Oppose anyone who happens to be a Mandinka. You are as Silent as a grave yard when the opposite or reverse is True. You will not Succeed in your Cynical juvenile attempt to Co-opt and attempt to “Divide and Silence”. You need to be able to develop thick skin and an abiding Sense of Honesty and Decency. By the way, Babu Soli is an independent adult with a mind of his own that is Informed and capable to make his own Intelligent decisions and analysis of the attempt to Rewrite history or heap everything evil one Jola or another since Former President Yaya Jammeh’s Tenure as President of the Gambia. All manners and insults were levelled on Former President Yaya Jammeh and the Jola Tribe by first PPP Party Militants and then later by UDP Party Militants. Most of those who have been been more Vociferous and Vitriolic in their Ethnic laced insults were predominantly of the Mandinka extraction period. The Simplistic, Cheap and uninformed Cooked up Supposedly History of the “Nteri” Kaffo” Mandinka Ethnic Group Interest Politics Cult falls flat on its face to put it colloquially. Given that, at that time, Jawara’s government was in Power, and the Mandinka in the Banjul, Bakau, Serekunda Metropolitan Area though not as Educated and Skilled as their Aku and Wollof Counterparts, but we’re of the Believes that the Aku and Wollof are the enemy, just like they saw and continue to see the Jola as their enemy during the Second Republic to the present. The nonsense about the postulations the that The Nteri Kaffo came to being because of a need to remedy the Rural vs. Urban inequality or as you Conveniently wants people to believe, “Banjulkolu” (Indigents of Banjul) were discriminating against Mandinka, therefore, it is justified to form a Culb or Cult based on Ethnic Hegemony art the expense of all other Ethnic Groups. I submit, that this is pattenly false and Self-serving as well as Revisionist history. I am old enough to know people who were members and by their own Volition and words, Nteri Kaffo was an exclusive Mandinka led and Mandinka Sourced Club or Cult with the Expressed purpose of endeavoring to Pressure Jawara who was at the time less infected with the Ethnic and Tribal Narratives of the Nteri Kaffo Mandinka hegemony Militants. Most of the PPP and NCP Party Cadre who later occupied the many Musical Chair Cabinet Positions Under Jawara’s government were products of the Nteri Kaffo Mandinka Ethnic Group Interest Politics Club or as some say, “Cult”. No Wollof, Fula, Jola, Serahule, Serere, Manjako were allowed membership for the first Decade or more of its founding. Yet, when this facts are put up in the Public Domain, Extremists like Maxs, Sanyang to name a few who Troll the Dark Corridors of the Internet attempt with the old tried and tied Insidious, Cynical and Juvenile Kindergarten Name calling and labelling and demonizing of the Messenger in an attempt to Rewrite history and in tandem Silence the Messenger. It won’t work! I am not going anywhere. I will not be Silenced by Petulant juveniles on a quest for Self-appointed at the expense of all Acceptable Ethical and Moral Equivalence. Call me whatever you fancy. Those who know me and or tracked by life and life-event would hold you by the ears made to wash your mouth or better yet, put you on a Time Out Sand box or Stool to Cool dowm. I have done more for individual Mandinkas than you and other Street Corner Self-appointed false and fake Defenders of the Ethnic Group Interest Politics of the Nteri Kaffo Apologist of an old Past Era have done. The Reactionaries in the Third Republic and their Enablers are Frotting at their Mouths Pushing for Unconstitutional and Undemocratic Modality of Governance of bygone era of the First and Second Republics. This Gambian intends to Speak and Speak Out when and where needed.

  5. Ramble on, that’s all you can do.

  6. Don’t waste your valuable energy my brother Buba Sanyang. These so called hypocrite columnist Sidi Bojang and his unenlightened educated fool Babu Soli think that we Gambians are blind to their bigotry and unholy tribalism. Sidi Bojang only write about tribal politics as a thinly veiled attack on the Mandinkas. Where were you Sidi during the 22 years of Yahya Jammeh’s lawless and tribal rule, when the Jolas,a minority tribe controlled all ministries of state and parastatals,like the Inspector general of police, a Jola, head of the NIA, a Jola, head of the Military — a Jola. Head of the Navy– a Jola. Managing Director of the ports authority — a Jola. Managing Director of Gamcel — a Jola etc, etc, etc. Where were you in those dark days of our history? Where was your revulsion against tribal politics? hiding in your rat infested,stomach churning and dim lighted neighbourhood. Yeah?
    We Gambians have nothing to learn from you Sidi. No flamboyant use of Grammar will make us give you any relevance but look at you for what you are– a bigot,an ugly tribalist.You have brought nothing to this discourse but nastiness and confuse assertions, blaming the Mandinkas for all the ills of our society. Let this be clear to you Sidi Bojang, President Barrow and his government will strive day and night to create a fair society for all irrespective of tribe, gender or religious affiliations unlike the previous government of Yahya Jammeh. And loud mouthed all talk no action idiots like you can continue and bark as loud as you want as that’s all you can do. We Gambians won our battle against the evil monster Yahya Jammeh and we are moving on. We refuse to be bamboozled by evil false prophets like you Sidi. Shaloum! Shaloum!

  7. Well said Natty. Simple and concise, that’s the way to do it. You don’t ramble and you don’t go on a tirade of convoluted arguments that are full of grammatical errors like Sidi. I like your style of dealing with self loathing people.

  8. Nasty Deradful Natty dread,
    I will come to you when I break for a while from work. You tribalist idiot!

  9. This government is neither a mandingka government nor jola,fula,sarahule, serer etc.This is a coalition government by the people of The Gambia, for the people of The Gambia period.
    Tribalism has no place in The Gambia,please let the bygones be bygones and work towards a greater future for the country for now and posterity.

    • What ever our political views are, we must take all efforts to avoid politics of division and exclusion, and focus on uniting and developing the country. Political and financial corruption and any form of discriminatory politics is a recipe for a failed state. None of us will benefit from such a political environment.

  10. Nasty Dreadful Natty Dread,
    You LIAR with farfetched and illogical assertions. What will Barrow and his henchmen bring to the Gambia more progressive than what President Jammeh has left? President Jammeh laid the foundation pillars for our ptrogress and there is absolutely nothing idiotic that you will assert to refute that reality.
    We are still waiting for you evidences about the “atrocities” that you have attributed to his government . Do you think that the legacies of President Jammeh will go asunder, Nasty Natty?
    The APRC has started mobilizing and her 250, 000 voters and those still to vote will show their anger to that bitty “coalition” , a bunch of incompetent transitional opportunists.

  11. If you are not already aware of the atrocities committed during the 22 years of Yahya Jammeh’s lawless rule, then you should shut the fuck up as you will be the only Gambian who is ignorant of those crimes. If killing 14 innocent demonstrating school children is not an atrocity to you.If the cold blooded assassination of Deyda Hydara is not an atrocity to you. If the killing of Solo Sandeng, Solo Krumah, Chief Ebrima Manneh, Korro Ceesay, Ebou Lowe, the mile 2 nine etc, etc, etc is not atrocity to you. The conditions at the mile 2 prison, the tortures, the inhumane treatment of the prisoners. The disappearances without trace, detention without charge etc, etc, etc. If these above facts i mentioned are not atrocities then tell me Babu Soli what they are. You are either morally bankrupt, confused or damn right stupid if you think that these allegations are baseless. Stay where you are nasty unenlightened educated fool and let Barrow and true Gambians mourn in peace for the 22 years of misrule by Jammeh without having to read your heartless, confused and false narratives of the situations in the Gambia.I write about facts Babu Soli,so proof me wrong that these atrocities never happened.Calling me a tribalist is like a pot calling a kettle black. You are denier of the truth, a spreader of falsehood.
    APRC can mobilize as they want, cause that’s all they can do. That party will forever be associated with brutality and economic plunder of our land.
    Shaloum! Shaloum!

  12. NASTY DREAFUL NATTY DREAD AND WISHFUL THINKER NJUNDU DRAMMEH,

    THIS IS THE TRUE FACE OF YOUR BARROW GOVERNMENT, AN INEPT AND INCOMPETENT CLIQUE OF HUNGRY ELEMENTS FOR POWER AND WASTE. THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF HOW THEY WILL ROB THE PEOPLE OF THE AID MONEYs.
    PLEASE READ THIS ARTICLE IF YOU HAVE THE GUTS TO LEARN THE WASTEFUL (NbUMBAI) NATURE OF YOUR “GOVERNMENT.
    THEY ARE USED TO SQUANDERING FUNDS WHEREVER THEY ARE FROM AND THERE IS NOTHING TO HALT THEM FROM THEIR MISDEMEANOUR BEHAVIOURS. THEY ARE JUST CORRUPT!

    Gambians Paying Millions For New President’s Hotel Bills
    WRITTEN BY JOLLOF MEDIA NETWORK
    February 13, 2017 News, Politics 11 Comments 2842 views
    Gambia’s new president Adam Barrow
    (JollofNews)– Despite crying out to donors that he has inherited an economy that is virtually bankrupt and in need of immediate restoration due to mismanagement of the country’s finances, Gambia’s new president Adama Barrow is spending millions of Dalasis in hotel bills.
    Mr Barrow who succeed long-term ruler Yahya Jammeh last month, is currently using the luxurious five-star Kairaba Hotel as his main office building pending the completion of work at the State House.
    But despite appealing for emergency budget support to rescue the country’s ailing economy, millions of tax payers money is being spent on hotel bills for the president, according to an invoice published in the Freedom Newspaper.
    According to the invoice covering between 30th January and 3rd February, the cost of running the Gambia’s new presidency at the Kairaba Hotel has cost the tax payers D563,750.00.
    Between the above period, records shows that D15,000 was spent on mineral water and D125,000 on breakfast including coffee, tea, juice, hot snacks and sandwiches.
    President Barrow’s Hotel Invoice (Courtesy of Freedom Newspaper)
    D148,750 was also spent to feed the president and 34 other people. D850 was paid for each individual for for every lunch which included a selection of hot food including fish, meat or chicken courses, pasta station, assorted vegetables, rice, potatoes and fruits.
    The Office of the President also paid D175,000 to use the hotel’s main conference room, Jaama Hall, while D100,000 was paid for using communication rooms 2, 4, 5 and 6.
    The hotel did not charge for breakfast and dinner for the president’s security team and for the use of three offices by the Vice President and two others
    lliving on less than one US Dollar a day who had massively voted for change.
    During his election campaign, Mr Barrow accused his predecessor of living a flamboyant lifestyle and wasting millions of tax payers money on festivities. He promised to introduce responsible spending and financial discipline in the heart of government.

  13. A silly man full of contradictions. I have supplied you the evidences of Yahya Jammeh’s atrocities but it appeared you’ve already swept that under the carpet. unsophisticated educated fool you are Babu Soli. You are irrelevant irrespective of how loud you bark.It is quite rich and condescending to blame president Barrow and his government for the expenses incurred as a result of their stay in the hotel. What other choices did they had,when the incumbent silly Jammeh refused to vacate the state house after his defeat.
    You myopic bastard, blinded to the extravaganza during Yahya Jammeh’s misrule. How many millions did jammeh and his gold digging bitch spent on themselves at the expense of the Gambian people. A pauper who enriched himself to the tune of millions if not billions of our nation’s wealth is praised,extolled by you Babu Soli as a good leader.
    You can live your miserable and self loathing life and see while we transform our country into an oasis of fairness and good governance. We need not distractions from evil hate mongers like you who rant about colonialist,imperialist yet is sheltered by these same people.
    Shame on you Babu Soiled himself.
    Shaloum! Shaloum!

  14. NASTY DREADFUL NATTY DREAD,
    Son/daughter of a bitch and a hound! Let me tell you that you are a grudge and a hateful element whose substance has no place to fill. You idiot. Why can’t you just break to read my postings and discern the contents and the information? You naughty idiotic IMP!
    Look, President Jammeh has done a million times more than all what you forsee your INEPT and INCOMPETENT half-baked watchman “president” and his bunch of idiots can do.
    He has socially and economically face-lifted the Gambia from her decadence and only stupid pimps like you would never positively evaluate his work. Because a bastard child, like you can never have brain to think much more appraise.
    Babu will soil into your cunt if you are good woman, mark you GOOD WOMAN,not the NASTY DREAD but will give you to your DADDY to soil into your ASSHOLE if you are homosexual. Shameless thing, Nasty Dreadful Natty Dread!
    Read FREEDOM NEWSPAPER to learn the incompetence of your “coalition” lot. sa-na-fo-bitch.
