Yero,
LOL. This madman story you sited is one of my favorites I like to tell.
No doubt about it that Yaya Jammeh has studied the Gambian character well and uses that knowledge to "play some of our people like a guitar".
In as mush as Islam forbids engaging and believing in soothsayers, fortune tellers, and the use of all these supposedly supernatural things to include some of the stuff our own witch doctor head of state engages in, people are held hostage more and more by those very things. It seems we do not understand the tenets of our own religion and we are certainly paying the price.

Sis. Jabou,
Thank you for your rejoinder. That said, I personally think that Yaya succeeded
in knowing our weaknesses and strengths, and therefore will do everything to
take advantage of that traditional belief system to poison the minds of
fetishes. If Jammeh was that much a mythical doctor, how come his wife was sent
to deliver in Washington Metropolitan hospitals at an estimated cost of
$100,000.00? (Courtesy of All Africa.) I tried to find out what is in eggs,
ebbeh or the exterior of that bottle that would invalidate Jammeh’s cure for
infertility, but to my no-surprise, I am yet to see something believable.
I will share with you a funny story.
It was this insane fellow in the village. It was 'santafeleh' moon-sighting.
When everyone was looking, the potty head had by accident pointed to the
direction of the new crescent and then uttered “there is the moon!”
And everyone goes, “Oh! Tonydaba is now healed.”
Within seconds’ later, he [Tonydaba] started pointing to pet dog resting
underneath the “bantaba” [seating places for elders] and uttered repeatedly
“there is another!”
And the elders looked at each other and said “hmmmmmm! Tonydaba haven’t
recovered an inch.”
Have a good Friday.
Regards,
Yero.

The answer? Insanity, pure and simple, both on the part of the so-called healer
as well as those who are actually consuming these concoctions. Amazing!> > Jabou
