Gambians for what ever reason(s) continue rally around Jammeh on this fraud 
of a cure, but the joke is on them.  We can delude ourselves with the silly 
notion that "The White Man" wants to discredit a "Black Man" that "found" a 
cure for HIV/AIDS.  Some say "Yalla Daafkro Mey", thus, the reason why Yaya 
told you that he gets his money from "Yalla".  I know you know better, if 
sycophancy and greed for trinkets did not get the best of you.  This thought 
process is the same that bore the crisis that is the Gambia, today.  It is a 
lie that Jammeh cures anything, much more HIV/AIDS and it appears the rest 
of the world can educate us a thousand times and we insist to stick on 
stupid.  Now the fraud embarks on attempting to steal blood from labs to 
continue with his con, while our people continue to clap for him.  Going 
back to our mindset, thus, the reason why we are dying and getting sicker 
for lack of the basics in health care and we say "we have the best health 
care in Africa"; the reason why our kids are failing or lagged behind 
because of a poor education structure and we say we are the brightest; the 
reason why we have massive unemployment but pretend that things are good, 
when in fact the majority of households in the Gambia are struggling to feed 
their households daily; the reason why these criminals poorly construct a 
couple of segments of our road system and we run to preach that "all the 
roads" are fine.  Well, it is a fact that well over 90% of our road system 
is worse than that of Albania, but we manage to focus on the strips; 
Continuing, the reason why we would run to the beach to scramble for few 
pieces of meat in the name of celebrating Yaya's victory and not for once 
asking ourselves, how is that funded.  Instead of creating an environment 
that you can earn your own living, you opt to be conned with euphoria only 
to wake up the next day to beg to eat; the reason why a malnourished soldier 
with mouth sores is today lavishing millions of dollars of our coffers and 
Gambians challenge "the haters" to show proof that he stole anything.  As 
long as few disciples are getting trinkets, who in turn will sprinkle a 
little to the village chief who in turn keep the lid on the villagers, Yaya 
can continue to sit on us for as long as he intends.  Substitute the village 
chief with the Yai/Bai Compin, NAMs, Imam, Priest, "Kelifa Yee", department 
heads, Metlango, etc., and you see the web that form the shackles that 
informs our enslavement.

My people, that is the definition of insanity.  None can cure us but 
ourselves through consciousness and self worth and determination.  We have 
since reached a fork on the road and we continue to choose the path that 
turn us into beggars.  We change our mindset and we can change our future 
for the better.  If we choose to think that sycophancy is the way to go, 
then misery will be our companion.  We stick nothing to the sane world by 
being irrational and continue to champion the most ridiculous.  You still 
believe in the lie of a cure for HIV/AIDS by Yaya?  If you do, the joke is 
still on you.

>Yesterday, Souleymane Mboup, from the University of Dakar in Senegal and a

>subterfuge to get blood samples from the president's patients tested in his 
>lab. The president claimed this year that tests had proved that his remedy

>That was wrong, said Professor Mboup. "The interpretation by the Gambian 
>authorities of the results of HIV antibody and viral-load testing on blood 
>samples sent to my laboratory is incorrect," he said.
>"The results were obtained under false pretences, when a technician 
>approached us asking for training on our equipment because he had problems 
>operating the equipment in his laboratory. We agreed, and in this process, 
>he asked us to test some anonymous samples, which we later learned were
