Well bro. you have said it all in the your piece bellow.some of Jammeh's weakness are the way to approach the people to give them confedence than discouraging.He should by now learn how to talk because he is not anymore a military man but a higher civil servant who need some deplomatic approaches to get to the top of his dreams as a president. Among other weakness, he should try to listen to the people (advisers)and not to say I am the president and things will be done in my way. His advisers cannot be that ignorant to telling him to lambast on his citizen in his every speach. He should recalled to the time he was a student till a lower ranker in the military if he was any better than the youths of the generations when he is a president.Was he selling cigarrettes on the street? was he going to the bush to fetch firewood and sell them? was he not drinking attaya and all sorts? of course not, then why should he espect more from nowadays youths who are supporting him everyday. sometime position made us to forget our real values. Gambians are heard working people and committed to developing our individual family lives whether jammeh knows it or not.It is really painful to see your own president insulting your integrety every now and then. I think he should by now start lambasting on how we can reach to the strategy of reducing the higher inflation. Again,I will repeat the fact that there have been a great development in the infrastructural area in comparison to the previous government yet there is more development to be considered such as economical developments than feeding animals in kanilia while people are hungry. On the whole, how can i be active if my stomach is empty yet taking a blame of not trying anything? before building another zoo, why can't we make the previous one more attractive and save that monies for better use. If Jammeh wants people to stop accusing him, he should be mindful of what he is doing because we are all aware of the fact that he was not the late ivorian president who come to power with wealth.All African leaders are greedy and of course were you work is there you should survive but then again, too much of everything is bad. lessons should be learn from the previous government and the out come of their greediness after 30 good years. It is high time for Mr jammeh to be more positive and loyal as well as giving some trust to his people who put him in the position and stop winding on their laziness. Thanks for you piece brother for your take in this important issue. Edi One that depends on loans to survive should be very mindful of his words and in the case of Jammeh he gets easily excited, once his audience start clapping he starts bragging about things that are realistically untenable. Hence the only advise I belief people can give you is to caution Jasmmeh so that he will be more diplomatic and respecful towards other people, untill this is the case the Gambia will not earn the erespect it deserves and in the process will lose valuable allies. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
