interesting stuff i would conclude; typical shallow adroitness of the
vanguard intelligentsia that for ages had abetted without our moronic leaders
in looting and bleeding Africa dry. what is the difference between those who
masquerade in the cloak of idiosyncratic and codswallop of some dizzy smart
arsed post pan africanism and the slave master and slave institutions that
existed earlier. what is the difference between the neo colonial institution
of the IMF and some African leader that has looted and bleed Africa dry? are
they not the same?
personally i think this guy has all the stench of a toady and a hypocrite. i
think Jammeh could have been a better leader had he not been derailed the
same intelligentsia that for ages had abetted with the neo colonial
institutions. the Jammeh of 1994 is not the Jammeh of 1999. i have nothing
absolutely against him as a human. but i expressly demure with this guy that
taking issues with our leaders tantamount to explicit betrayal of the African
cause. i view Jammeh with the pessimism of my intellect whilst the optimism
of my will tells me that better will come one day. is this unpatriotic? if it
is Allah help Africa. what right now is some post modern civic pan Africanism
devoid of the self destructive smug of fatalism and self defeatism; devoid of
extreme jingoism with the knowledge that Africa cannot go it alone; devoid of
the hard left crude determinist arguments that all our troubles stems from
the outside. I don't see this in Jammehism; expressly I demure. this makes me
not a betrayer or reactionary, but a patriot on different wavelength surely
patriotism comes in different forms. Can we have some post modern civic pan
africanism here please?
