This, is really embarrassing for a nation to go through.  Folks, these are
the signs of a lunatic and Yaya has really lost.  I see a dictator, self
absorbed, comical and egoistic fool all in one, and Gambians have to put up
with this idiot.  For a change, Africa if leading the world in churning out
bottom of the barrel fools called leaders.  Can you imagine a cocktail party
among the diplomatic corp and Yaya Jammeh as the main menu?  Whoever thought
education was expensive, let them try ignorance.  Like Don King says, "Only
in Africa", in this case, Gambia in particular.  I hope some of the people
that disgraced themselves for five miles lost some weight, if they need to,
for that is a long walk by any standard.  Gambians need to help this fool
out of his misery, for he can't handle his burden anymore.  Chei Africa!
