Kejau my friend don't just talk actions speaks louder. Mathew is doing the action but you are just talking. Man you were a soldier and should know better. It is easier to sit behind our keyboards and talking while the action oriented ones are doing the actions yet we are nullifying their effort. Here is something for you guys.
Change What You Can> Mind Mastery
Once you establish bravery, you'll learn to self-direct in life. You'll
learn to accept penalty and rewards graciously. A brave individual will
frequently feel motivated to take on blame and responsibility while critiquing
their actions and utilizing what they learn to move ahead. Brave individuals
will step to the front, instead of stepping back when opportunities move their
way. On the other hand, a brave individual will step back and take a look at
his or her errors graciously.
Occasionally the brave individual is spontaneous. It's never good to
plan every day, as no one knows what the next day will introduce. Consider it.
How many times have you plotted something to see it shatter in your face the
following day. For example, I plan to go to the ball game tomorrow. Come tomorrow
a snowstorm, hurricane, twister, wind storm, or rainstorm may change your
plans. You planned, but did you plan for the weather conditions. Did you make a
substitute plan in case your first plan bombed? As you are able to see,
planning isn't always in your favor, which is why brave individuals are
occasionally spontaneous.
An individual willing to improve their life will loosen up. This
individual will relax even when plans bomb. For example, if it stormed the next
day the individual will discover something else to use up his or her time and
feel even as happy about linking up with this adventure.
To get successful and better your life you'll need to learn how to trust
you. When you trust you, you are able to trust other people also. Regrettably,
we live in a domain where trust is difficult to find, yet
when you
trust you, you can’t fault other people when matters go wrong.
Bettering your life includes utilizing your creative
and decisive mind. When you are able to produce fresh ideas, you're on to the
road to success. You've a lot of options in this world; it takes you to pull
out resources to discover those choices.
Occasionally in life, we feel uncomfortable. As a
matter of fact, this is usual. Are you willing to accept your irritations?
Maybe at an interview you feel lost. Are you willing to accept this irritation
and discover a way to deliver a great speech to impress the interviewer? As an
alternative, are you willing to let negative energies cost you the job.
Do you accept?
Do you accept the matters you can't change? Do you
accept the matters you've command over? Do you accept others irrespective of
how these individuals act? Do you accept you for who you are? Do you accept the
alterations that life brings your way?
Acceptance
is your key to felicity. When you are able to learn to accept the great with
the foul, you are able to learn how to live more pleased and improve your life.
DO ONTO OTHERS AS YOU WILL ACCEPT THEM IN RETURN. DO YOUR BEST AND LIVE THEREST TAKING CARE FOR ITSELF

Khalleel,
We gave recommendations after this very flawed and biased recommendation from Matt. Any steering committee should include the disparate groups in the diaspora and that is what the conference was supposed to have achieved. For a start the recommended committee did not include a single woman but only UDP and all his his group, CCG and Sankareh.
This was so flawed, biased and a serious conflict of interest that it deserves a whole overhaul.
Kejau.

This has indeed been an interesting conversation judging by
the amount of threads. Please allow me to add my two cents. I don’t think
Matthew’s absence from Raleigh or him adding his name on the list should be the
focal point here. I believe that we need to nurture the best out of everyone
and encourage pathfinders. I commend Matthew for giving us a start. He took his
time and energy made the effort to provide us with something we can improve on
if we feel that it is not up to what we want then lets perfect it by having serious conversation about it. Instead, some of us decided to be so critical
and yet made no alternate recommendation. I have a lot of respect for a person
who can look at anything put before him/her and criticize it for all its flaws
but I admire the one who criticizes and offer a thoughtful recommendation.
If we maintain structure, boundaries and discipline at all
times, we will without a doubt prevail. May God bless us all and our
motherland.

[log in to unmask]You're in good company Yero. Let's hang on to Madiba for dear life. If we try to pull Kejau back, he may end up dragging us all into the ditch. Along with uncle Mathew and Giuseppe. And those two think they have a misunderstanding. Wait till they get into Kajau's ditch.

I am following the debate. (LOL).
For now, I am hanging onto Mandela.
I have some stuff to offer on this debate, but my hands are tied.
Make it a great week. :)

Thanks Demba. That is our point that the conferences should be like the London conference i.e. 'bringing ...groups together to start with other diaspora groups putting the horse before the horse instead of otherwise.] Kejau.
No two conferences/congresses can be alike. I know you meant "putting the horse before the cart" Kejau, but nevermind the error. In conferences and congresses, we aim to put men and women behind wheelbarrows. The horses will be taken to the farm to help us in our farm work. I understand you thrive on these sound bites, having commanded in the military for decades.
[The aim should be to unite US groups under 1 umbrella as the Sweden Conference will aim to unite Europe under one group.] Kejau.
I hope the Sverige organizers don't let you anywhere near the conference organizing. AND I hope they are not aiming to unite Diaspora Europe under one group. They will fail miserably and they will have wasted time and energy failing.
[Other diaspora groups were and are invited respectively.] Kejau.
If you say diaspora should unite first before inviting Home, and you claim the Sverige group is aiming to unite diaspora Europe under one umbrella group, why invite other diaspora groups???? Unless you mean 'other EUROPE diaspora groups'.
[Then we can later organize a diaspora wide conference uniting all those diverse group.] Kejau.
What an idiotic idea Kejau??????????????????????????? And if you cannot unite the Europe Diaspora under one group in Sverige??? (which is a foolhardy quest in my opinion)
[It only then can we approach the Gambian stakeholders to unite with a single proposal.] Kejau
Why would Gambian stakeholders need us to approach them before they unite under one group? And why proposal this time instead of group????
[That's not rocket science.] Kejau.
Aren't you glad its not rocket science?
[It's only when we unite first can we ask others to unite.] Kejau.
If anyone needs you to ask them to unite, they ought to avoid you with a 10-ft pole.
I haven't seen a fellow so dense Kejau!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you sure you're related to me, if through uncle Sidia??????????? I doubt it, or I'll excommunicate my great uncle Sidia from the family. With you.
Haruna.

Kejau,
Just a point of observation. It is my understanding that DUGA, GDAG and STGDP united/collaborated to organize the conference in Raleigh. It is my understanding that the Raleigh conference was organized under the spirit of harnessing ideas on how our country can move forward... While unity was a central theme.. unity cannot be achieve overnight... So for the simple fact that some differences of the political constituents came through in Raleigh does not do justice to claim the Rally conference brought more division than unity... Was it contentious absolutely, is that to be expected absolutely.. I think it was simply an excuse for those who fail to attend to give the conference a negative face thus their excuse.
Now would the Swedish conference highlight some differences... ? If it didn't then we must admit it may not achieve what it is set to achieve. Highlighting various perspectives and approach to our political solutions is part and parcel of the dialogue and it must be present else we are just putting bandage over the wounds hoping it will heal itself... I hope that you will really consider what others have already advice that the London conference you keep referencing was completely different. It was design to form, bring the Gambian groups together to start working on collaborating with other groups...
Just a thought...
Regards
Demba
