Zeinab Suma Jammeh The Gambian first lady contemplates on eloping because of Ms Black USA.
Latest revelations from the same circle of power around Jammeh are pointing fingers at Ms Black USA. Whose name is known to every Gambian lest one does not read the daily observer. A lot of gossipping is taking place in and around the state house on this subject matter.
Ms Black's 3 impromptu visits to Banjul are worrisome for our first lady.
Officially the United States has an Ambassador in The Gambia. On the other hand President Jammeh in private has vowed that he will maintain a "racial" and "cultural" Ambassador alongside. Jammeh who is not happy with Washington has vowed to use (handpicked) so-called African American beauties and unknown sportsmen to help fight for social justice ? Where and against who? Jammeh will tell us when he chooses to do so. This is what I gathered at Kairaba hotel yesterday. As I am writing this piece these beauties are loitering along the corridors of Sindola hotel in Kanilai and Kairaba hotel in tourism development area of The Gambia.
In february President Jammeh's Ms Black USA came to Banjul.
In May she came again. In July she is still invited to visit,eat,merry and misuse our country's funds. We understand that over a 100 girls followed her this time. Sure state house will deny this because everything is done to avoid angering First Lady Zeinab Jammeh further down the line. Of course not us the tax payers because President Jammeh knows he will be here for forty years to rule us the subjects. No coups or uprising is in Jammeh's mind. He is so strong to be overthrown.
The source I spoke to today said Ms Black was not going to school neither did she achieve anything outstanding before meeting Jammeh. In her letter to the daily observer addressed to President Jammeh she herself revealed some of those facts.
One thing is certain President Jammeh is developing one single girl he is calling a cultural Ambassador while our own girls are carrying clay pots on their scalps in the rural areas. And being deprived of every right to eat decent meals let alone learning how to read and write their names. Infact one of the Afro-American girls I encountered at the lobby of Kairaba hotel is not all that keen about the fanfare. She told me that she will stop joining the fleet because she believes the President is nothing but a womaniser.
First Lady Zeinab Jammeh is right to feel insecure about the whole deal. It is obvious that President Jammeh has been meeting a US Black girl out of the lot. The place and time he met her will be dislosed with juicy encounters. Jammeh is enjoying the show at all cost.
Zienab Jammeh's family roots angered over what President Jammeh is doing. I met a family member from Falaba Guinea.
Zeinab Suma is the daughter of the late Alhaji Ebrima Suma from Falaba village Guinea Conakry. Last week I was on my way to Freetown. Luckily met a person who knows the Suma family very well. The guy invited me to take a cup of nescafe with him nearby. My transit was a little longer than I expected. I was shocked when this man told me that he knows about President Jammeh's way of treating their cousin Zeinab Jammeh. He made mention of the Ms Black USA story. Infact the guy swore that his family will never tolerate what is being done to their kin. They will resort to a dirty fight with Jammeh. "Issi La Guineh" the man said in French. Excuse me for not being able to write it in French. I wrote what I heard the way I could. The man also said this "husbands who do things like that should always lose their man hood" This means the person should be bewitched therefore become impotent as a man. "They have to be rendered impotent" The man said again. Well can they do that to a man like President Jammeh? A man who has so many marabous? I hope not. The man also said this to me, "President Jammeh will be taken out of power on a day he never expects it to happen..."
Finally I asked the man if Zeinab is truely Guinean?
This question apparently ignited the furious side of my new friend.
He shouted back and said..."Poor kuwaa?" why are you asking me that? He swore in Malinke,Sussu and Fula that she is a Guinean girl who was raised in Morrocco. He then told me that Zeinab is from a village called Falaba in the region of Kindiya Guinea Conakry. He further revealed that the late Alhaji Ebrima Suma Zeinab's father (deceased) was buried there. He also told me that President Jammeh knows what he is saying is true.
This very man told me,it is only them the family who maintain Zeinab at her place of marriage. Left to her alone she would have eloped a long time ago. Infact he revealed that Zeinab attacks them verbally when she calls home sobbing and complaining about her husband's extra marital life including other things he did not want to tell me.
President Jammeh's Ms Black USA has indeed shaken the state house. She must be smiling at herself before the dressing mirror these days.
