THE SAD STORY OF MUSA NGOM
For some time back we learn that Musa Ngom is not even in the position to pay
his house rent.This alone is no big deal,we know there many who cant pay their
house rent,but in the case of Musa Ngom he was leaving in Senegal, perhaps
more secured and respected,he was ask by his president if he would prefer
leaving in his own house or the house of a friend.Musa opted for his own house
and that is,Gambia, his president(Dr Alhagi Yaya a.j.j.Jammeh)promised that
his government will do all they can to help him realize his dreams as one of
the most recognized Gambian musician in Senegambia.Musa never got again any
session with this president.He even hired a Taxi to the country -side during a
presidential tour,just to be able to remind him of all the promises,he never
got near the president,he has to pay the Taxi Driver with his speakers.Leaving
in his own house seems to be more and more uncomfortable.But in his friends
house(SENEGAL)memories of his talents as a god musician were still alive,they
decorated him with one of their highest cultural decorations.Here my
conscience did remind me that narrow minded nationalism is very
dangerous.Perhaps Musa should have stayed in Senegal and his music will
without doubt continue to get to the Gambia and inspire Gambian musicians.I am
no fans of Musa,simply because the contents of his music do not contain any
message of substance as far as i am concern.By the way "Ovare"
(working-Class)as far as I am concern is the best that musa has ever
produced.But the fact that we must not only sit and see injustice done to some
one, made me interested in this case,as was the case of Donkey ,Syngle
etc.They lied to him,they handle him badly, and they are now hiding from him.
Since I did not hear anything more on this case,I have my doubts if Musa is
been heard,if so I would love to be inform,however not to take any chance ,I
am appealing to Tombong Saidy ,who is not only the Director of our TV station
but also a strong defender of the regime, to organized a session between Musa
and the president so that he (MUSA)could remind the president of all the
promises.Do him a favour Tombong !!!
