Dear All,
I have just visited The Gambia from the 21st July 2009 to the 4th of August
2009 and I have been very unhappy with the way I saw the Nigerians control
our banking system.
I am not a narrow nationalist but given the reputation of the Nigerians and I
think we need to be more careful in the way we deal with them. Most of them
or atleast the ones we came into contact with are somewhat dodgy.
In the 90s some many Nigerians have been arrested dealing in drugs in our
motherland and in the UK their scams are open secret.
Despite them employing a lot of our citizens, I just wonder why they could not
invest some of their money in their own country where the life expectancy is
47 years. Where are the Nigerians getting their money from?
This article should put our political divide into one side and let us all
concentrate on the issue of the Nigerian economic invasion. This does not
mean that we do not have to deal with the lack of rule of law in The Gambia
under a Jammeh and his incarceration of the innocent journalist. However I
think the Nigerian locust swarm invasion is more important. Jammeh may be
destroying the democratic stance of The Gambia but impact of the Nigerians
will be more serious should they spark.
Care should to taken in the way we deal with Nigeria. Nigeria should act first
for its own citizens and get their act together so they can be trusted.
Gambians all over should act in unity against this Nigerian threat. If they
destroy our banking system then we are doomed.
For those comments that I made about Darboe which may be considered
personal I do apologise and I will take the advice of James Taylor from now
on. I think Yanks should also stop the attack on my family and should
apologise on his personal comments on my dad's elder brother who passed
away long time ago.
The big issue is the Nigerian invasion and I therefore I called on
Jammeh "mansakunda" to to unconditionally release all these innocent
journalist and innocent political prisoners so that they can join in giving the
necessary caution that is required for the all Gambians to take. The Gambia
belongs to The Gambian people and presidents are elected servants of the
people. That power is given to the president based on trust and that trust
should not be betrayed. Presidents who want to be mystified have no place in
The Gambia and we have a constitution that calls for presidents to be
servants of the the people. Jammeh is one such servant and it is time for him
to realise that. However in tackling Jammeh his brute rather that his tribe
should be pronounce. Most of the people in rural Gambia live in absolute
poverty despite the language grouping they belong to. We all know that. We
all know that any family that do not have someone in the "developed" world
faces serious difficulties and this is why Jammeh should be tackled on his
brute and his abuse of the rule of law.
Jammeh have the choice to apologise to The Gambia people, surrender power
and reconcile the people. Then he should call for fresh elections and let the
people choose a leader in a free and fair elections. This if Jammeh does will be
able to put his name in the good books of history. However if he continue on
his trend he will remembered otherwise.
Jammeh's tribe should never come into play as it will be a winning machine for
him and let us not play it to his advantage
