Even I was jaded by this one. I can understand Yahya's joy and excitement at his newborn. In fact my son was born at exactly midnight on December 31st. There are many more people who had children on more momentous dates. I think Yahya was beside himself to encumber all Gambia to honour the birth of baby Yahya. That is just superfluous. I mean I like Yahya and I congratulate him and the first lady on the birth of their first son, but in the whole scheme of things, a son is no more valuable than a daughter and the nation's business is a bit more important than any one child. Anyway Suntou, I wouldn't go as far as believing he's mad. After all, Yahya is not forcing any idiot to take a day off. The lazy dipsticks will take any day off. Even the day Yahya remarked a two-headed coconut. What a Kountry!! Haruna. In a message dated 12/30/2007 2:50:07 A.M.

How else do we explain the story below, if indeed it is true? Baba Holiday Declared For Naming Of President’s Son By The Gambia Journal Dec 30, 2007, 18:52 Banjul, The Gambia Journal GRTS radio announced that the office of the President at State House, has declared Monday December 31st a public holiday in honor of the official naming ceremony of baby Muhamed Yahya Jammeh. It is the first time the birth of a living baby is being officially celebrated in The Gambia. In the run up to the celebrations, one of our Banjul correspondents wrote, a wave of sycophancy, as never seen before, is being displayed, with prominent personalities, state departments, parastatals, private businessmen and companies and institutions competing with each other in the sizes of gifts and donations to President Jammeh.
