Yahya Jammeh, Gambian men become his easy targets...and his origin's role in this?

By Bubu Hammah.
  
From the day Yahya Jammeh started his endless "microphone fever" to now,he has been "accorded" by a silent and presumably mild population, this carte blanche of insulting anyone or any group of people as he likes it. No one has ever bothered to conduct a research on this insane man's line of growth from childhood days to now. Conducting a research of that nature is the only way one can "brew" his unsavoury saliva towards other people's fathers then give it back to him to drink. After all none of the men Yahya is unsulting is responsible of the cause of his rejection per his origin! On that note, here comes this question for Yahya from other families who do not share his unattractive background...."Who are you Yahya to categorize all Gambian men under one umbrella,therefore calling them names,insulting our fathers,uncles,brothers and grandfathers,without receiving the hard ball back?!" This maybe a chance for him to avoid embarasing his parents therefore stop  "probably" with his smoking face, opening his mouth against Gambian men. Let alone thinking that he can go on and on categorizing everyone under one umbrella and get away with it! This time around Yahya will be receive more fire stones without any regards or respect whatsoever. He started it 13 years ago,he has been all along making his own oven. In this oven his rude lips will be baked again. Other people in other parts of the world will wonder why we send such reactions to a man being a called a President... Well to those I say do a research on this man's speeches from July 1994 to now and see if he fits being treated in a decent way? You will indeed be disappointed and ask yourselves why is he still running that country? The answer he is an armed bandit occupying the state house with other armed agents of banditry.
 
Analysing Yahya makes us see through what causes anger in the chest of some people even if they grow and achieve riches,fame or other outstanding worldly rewards from society? Most of the time such characters draw their lessons from what they have been exposed to at an early stage of their miserable lives. Such line of growth causes,ferments and nutures extreme hate in people like this. People from that line of growth become serial killers, or other nuissance to society. The worst part is when they occupy a seat of power!
Such characters feed on hate and the extreme desire to be in control. Why? Because they feel betrayed and rejected by society when in actual fact the root is usually from a closer circle from home. Looking into Yahya's own life from childhood days to now leaves so much to be desired. Here is a child who rose from Kanilai-to-Bwiam-then to Half Die Banjul under Pa Alfonse Tamba's watch. Here is where he "escaped" to join the then gendarmerie or army(now). This line of growth shows someone who really did not know extended paternal love to a certain degree. This is being exposed here because Yahya has insulted our Gambian men so much so that it seems as if he was born by a saint,which is far from the truth. He himself knows that he has no right to claim for that special birth right before many good families in The Gambia. Infact what is interesting in this is that Yahya himself talks about his background angrily. Has he forgotten those he used to confide with while at the Fajara Barracks and Yumdum Barracks respectively? Has Yahya forgotten when he used to jump over former First Lady Tuti Faal's window because he was rejected by her family for obvious reasons? Has he forgotten why he was urged to construct a laterite road to Kembujeh her village when he was trying all he could to earn her respect even after over throwing President Jawara with the help of Edward,Sanna and Saadibu? Has he forgotten that he used men to court her? Is he a better man than those men today? Has he forgotten those who took the bags of rice he stole from the army's canteen to get Tuti's uncles turn towards him? Are those uncles not Gambian men too?
Here are three paths to look at when analysing Yahya's tirades as he directs them towards our Gambian men:
-He wants to reject a past he cannot talk about in public by using the names of "innocent" Gambian men in his sad historical slate,thus try justifying a social crime many cannot be blamed for on his behalf.
-He wants to use his bitter life experience as a coated political tactic thinking that this will make the womenfolk turn towards his sad face thus vote for the APRC party when in actual fact his case is not exactly that.
-His bogus intelligence reports show him there are more women voters than men voters so anything that he says in their favour means more sympathy votes for him,which is also false.
Lest we forget when Yahya says:"Even if Gambians do not vote for him, his ancestral "Jinns" or spirits can do so..." Then why would a man like that need more votes from women?
The contradiction here is that,Yahya claims to be representing Islamic or Godly teachings while encouraging wives to rebel against husbands? Alongside insulting people's fathers at home while showing trying to extend a hypocritical supporting hand to their daughters? Does he know how many wives,sisters,aunts,mothers dislike his endless TV appearances on this one so far? He has succeeded in alienating many women because they feel that he is misdirecting his crude and rude remarks for no reason. There are so many sisters who see a saint in the faces of their fathers,brothers,husbands,uncles and male teachers etc everyday. Who is Yahya to speak for those women when he has a wife who dresses like a "wild" model controlling him behind the scenes like a kid? Has Yahya forgotten that some people know his wife's sister Myriam Suma and the step brother Dumbuya? Does he want us to say more? Yahya Jammeh should be the last person to insult men. Who is Yahya here?
On the other hand has Yahya forgotten good people like Alhaji Sankung Jabbi(late),Alhaji Cherno Baba Jallow(late),Alhaji Bubacarr Bansang Jallow(late), Imam Alhaji Alieu Jobe(late),Alhaji Sekou Conteh of Gambisara,others and others are/were Gambia men too? Has he? I know he was not taught this from home so we will today teach him that these people rose to the platform of "Wilaaya". This special offer was given to them by Allah or God! Are these good men not Gambian men too?
Has Yahya forgotten that former President Jawara the one he called a father of the nation and uncle in a very hypocritical and cynical way during the last session in parliament is a Gambian man too? Has Yahya forgotten that Edward Singhatey,Sana Sabally,Saadibu Haidara and those he originally helped him sit his body on that chair are Gambian men? Has he forgotten that these men he is insulting have mothers too? Trying to seperate men from women is like trying to seperate minds from thought. It is like seperating breathing from oxygen.
Instead of getting mad or angry with Yahya I think Gambians need to stay put and help this man understand why we love our fathers,brothers,uncles and prophets so much.
He needs to be told that we know where his own anger against men is stemming from. He also needs to be made to understand that we do not share his experience in that regard.
You know such remarks are what some Gambians leave on the sides unattended. But others like Bubu Hammah would pin point his "ill-mannered" remarks then send them back to him.
This piece will at least be in a mild way or be civil. In this way we will at least give Yahya the benefit of the doubts for now. If ever he repeats his crude,rude remarks against our good fathers,brothers,uncles and grandfathers he will leave to wonder why he started that trend. Yahya Jammeh needs to understand one thing. If it was not for respecting ethics within the confines of professionalism he would have received worse words back. Let him try us and see what he will back in the future. Any person who respects his father and his mother,will not insult the father and mother of another party. The contrary proves otherwise. The choice is his on this one. Enough has been gathered on Yahya's paternal, he is being warned to stop insulting our parents willy-nilly. We know him in and out therefore let him make a choice. We are in this to end the war he started. He knows that!
If he so desires let him be our guest on that one....The ball is in his court!
