Hello everybody
   
  After listening to variuos exchanged of ideas of critism from one corner to the other, I
  Think it is really a sad situation to seeing people with the same interest fighting each other due to the egoistic politicians and their selfishness on coming up with a candidate to represent them in the coming presidential election. why can't we use our brains that God gave us and work the work through than fighting among ourselves. Everybody has the right to express his or herself as far as democracy is concern and no one has the right to deter him or her from self _expression but to agree or disagree by pointing out your argument on his/her point or else use your delete button.
   
  In this world, one without an enemy is of no good to the society as well, one who criticises you does not hate you in my opinion, but wanted you to improve depending on how you use that criticism. What I am trying to say is the fact that, if someone criticises you and you see it negatively by denying instead of realising it, it will not help and can deter you from progressiveness but using it positively by looking unto yourself and asked yourself is my critic right or wrong? why did he/she said this? are other saying or seeing me the same too? and how can I use it to my advantage? etc. 
   
  criticising shouldn't be as bad as we take it to be because it can help someone to became a better person by using it wisely to his or her favour. We should not runaway from criticism because we are human being and prone to making mistakes in our day to day undertakings. Yahya Jammeh, for an example, took criticism as a negative thing to make him a dictator because he is seeing no wrong on what he is doing and does not allow anyone to point them out. Abdoulie Wada took criticism wisely in the recent encounter with the journalist to improve his standard as head of state. Without criticism, what is the use of democracy? We cannot make everything to go our way, therefore, what cannot be helped why not enjoying it than taking it as an offence.
   
  It is a surmountable burden of all Gambians to making decisions for our nation. Our concern for the future safety of our nation led us to making remarks which we might or might not view in retrospect as in appropriate and insensitive in the light of events taking place back home. to defend my position on NADD selecting their candidate outside, in my opinion, is an opportunity to seeing true democracy paving it way in the country in the near future depending on the fact that the selected candidate respect the MOU by stepping down after the said term expired. This means that, the government's budget and resources will be left alone because no political party will be allow to have access to them and the media will be for every candidate to use without favours, as well, all political parties will have to raise fun for themselves to propagandising their individual parties. If the trend continued like that, Gambia will witness a new beginning of party politic like never before. It is
 therefore, a wise idea in selecting a candidate outside as a kind of interim candidate blissed by all for the betterment of the Gambia and Her people.
