The Real versus the Fake Alpha Males‏ Share

  Neneh B Touray’s Feminist Column for The Gambia Daily NewsWhen true alpha males fall in love, they fall in love for KEEPS and as heterosexual Feminists it is the REAL alpha males we Alpha women are after!Right now, it is easy to find information on dating "alpha males" on the Internet. Unfortunately, about 95% of the information you get on the Internet is junk. Why? Because the Internet has, a twisted definition of what an "alpha male" is. To most people, "alpha males" are jocks, players, pick-up artists... basically those handsome, attractive men who can charm their way into a woman's pants whenever they want. I call these men "fake" alphas, because while they pretend to be the strong, confident types... they really cannot lead a happy relationship even if they tried. Trust me, you are better off being single than being with a "fake" alpha! REAL alpha males are ready, willing, and able to lead happy relationships with the woman in their lives... while at the same time keeping things fun, sexy, affectionate, macho, and more.Unfortunately, dating alpha males is not as easy as it sounds.Why? Because it is not easy to tell if a person is a REAL alpha male... or a "fake" alpha male. Moreover, over the years, I have met women who dated and fell in love with "fake alpha males"... and suffer untold agony shortly thereafter. These women were abused, neglected, cheated on, disrespected, and worse. The horror stories just kept coming... Of course, just because alpha males are better... does not mean they come easy.

Edi. I was a soldier before this regime and did my part and my service to my nation, like everyone,  magistrates, teachers unlike bumsters like you. 
The line we need to draw is that how far up the ladder you were to be an enabler. A cabinet minister, like Sabally, has collective cabinet responsibility as is culpable as another other cabinet minister such as even the president. 
You threw wild accusations about me suffocating the nation without any basis but did you ever work for your country if so in what capacity and will that capacity not be enabling or is it only officers and soldiers who are enabling.

Kejau, do you forget you people where the ones who helped and eventually suffocating the entire popular. Where you once not a soldier in that same government to a grater extend yet people are reasoning with you? Don't forget yourself and blaming
 others for the same crime against Gambians. It shouldn't what they did during their time in the government, justice should be for everyone and if any one so called enablers did anything wrong, well the next government will deal with that. Blaming people who
 once worked for the government or still working is unjust to the core. Edi

LJD,


I agree with are on the same page... I too pity Sabally and any human being who subjects themselves to such situations, but yes his personal situation ranks bottom for me as well.. My main concern is the idea that it is ok to maltreat people who have work
 with and fallen apart from the government. We certainly should care about his family and his rights to due process and humane treatment... This is my position and am sure for most you as well.


It is mostly the system that otherwise criminalize people. I can bet that if you have a more decent system the likes of Sabally may not act the way they acted... I am very concern about the precedence being set in Gambia..
'Oh well, he deserve it so let's look the other way' without considering the precedence and how it emboldens the system...How about the universal rights of every citizen regardless of their affiliation??? 


Thanks

Demba

One very plausible interpretation of Kejau's statement "I agree we should not abuse each other's right but surely I have a right to not feel pity for those who abuse our rights" puts him and you and Malanding and virtually all of us on the same page.

 

Sabally saw lawlessness from a distance, appreciated and salivated for a role in it from a distance, pleaded for participation from a distance, and actively participated when he ascended the topmost policy council of Professor Jammeh's government.

 

Accepting Sabally's right to dignity and lawful treatment within Gambian public space must be non-negotiable, but "pitying" him is an entirely different question. I "pity" him as a human being, with all that goes it, i.e., a family man, with loved ones,
 and his personal aspirations. 

 

In the context of Gambian public life, my "pity" for Sabally is at the lowest possible end of the scale. If however I am in a position to defend him in a court of law, I'd give him the best possible representation. I hope this is the route Kejau is travelling.

 

I salute your courage to participate in this mundane discussions so soon after the departure of a mother you so resemble facially.

Demba.


I understand the romantic notion of caring for all, but really, we should therefore not even be outraged at the government then, should we? After all the government is made up all citizens. Or maybe but until they fell out of favour and out of power, even
 if the abuse our rights. 
I agree we should not abuse each other's right but surely I have a right to not feel pity for those who abuse our rights. 
OK, I was just playing satan's advocacy here.

Kejau,


I think we should care about what happens to our fellow citizens. The violation of the rights of one of our citizens is the violations of the rights of all of us regardless. The situation here is not the individual but the government actions towards citizens.
 Really every decent Gambian citizen needs to be outrage about what happens to our citizens every single one of them.... "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

Malanding,  


I wonder whether we should really care about Sabally and his family, afterwards, he insulted Mandinkas on national TV and accused us all of being unpatriotic. He was not under duress, but merely interested in his new new lifestyle at the expense of our
 freedom, etc.

How much longer can the Gambia endure this kind of dog-eat-dog, wanton bestiality?  It does not matter whether it is Momodou Sabally or Yahya Jammeh at the receiving end. This is not who we are as Gambians.

REMANDED AT THE NIA What is the experience of Sabally’s Family?
EditorSeptember
 9, 2014
By Mustapha Jallow
This reporter went to meet the different family members of Mr. Momodou Sabally, the former Secretary General, Head of the Civil Service and Minister for Presidential
 Affairs, to find out whether they have access to him and have made any attempt to secure legal counsel in order to apply for bail since he was remanded in custody at the NIA by the High Court on 11 August, 2014.
When this reporter visited his family residence in Lamin, a close relative indicated that the family in Lamin could not say anything about Mr Sabally since he was remanded. They
 appeared traumatized and preferred to say very little.
At his private residence in Kotu, this reporter met the caretaker and two boys said to be Mr. Sabally’s children. An effort to interview his wife proved unsuccessful.
Prior to his removal from the cabinet on 7st July,
 2014, Mr. Sabally was moved from the position of Secretary General, Head of the Civil Service and Minister of Presidential Affairs and reassigned to the portfolio of Minister of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology.
Mr. Sabally is facing two counts of ‘Abuse of office’ and ‘Economic crimes’ before Justice Mikailu Abdulahi of the Banjul High Court. He pleaded not guilty to both charges.
EDIITOR’S NOTE
His case was adjourned for hearing on 14th October,
 2014 at the High Court in Banjul. This means two months of detention without court appearance. No information is available on any effort being made to secure bail before the trial. Remand prisoners also have rights. Foroyaa would be ready to meet any family
 member who wishes to confirm that those rights are being protected as he remains a remanded prisoner under the custody of the NIA.
