"The evil that men do live after or with them" says some wise man . But
Towncrier says the evil deeds of Jumukureh Jammeh will catch up with him not
after he dies but right here in Gambia. "Master Doctorii" of people and not
himself since the guy can't cure himself.
Allah/God will not allow this self acclaimed Mr. All Healer to escape
without us having something good to laugh at. Have we not even started
laughing? The self acclaimed "All Healer (Messiah of Kanilai): sneaking to
France to be treated of a disease he claims to Gambians to be able to
cure. If your evil deeds don't catch up with you here on earth, they sure
will in the hereafter. Our "Doctorrii" Know All Jammeh had to sneak to go
get attended medically out of the shores of Gambia and not the forest of
Kanilai where we have herbs for the killer AIDS disease? Any one knows why?
Ask him and he will tell you the particular herb is not available in Gambia
and his demons saw it in Paris. Wonders they say shall never cease to
happen. And so long as we have this comedian with us, we are in for more a
lot of fun (Ahuaa!!!). Gambia is so small and people talk. Yahya cannot
travel without anyone knowing. We are all around you like a shadow. As you
cannot run away/hide from your shadow, the same goes for us. We are at your
home, airport and everywhere in the Gambia. We travel, dine, and gossip with
you. And some even get "high" with you. So Oga you can't escape this
information drag net of ours.
Oga, let me remind you of a little bit of the reggae song we used to listen
to so much during our "ataya" sessions and bar times. The song titled
"Hypocrite" by the late Ousu Lion Njie. Sing along with me Oga come on one,
two, three go!!
Hypocrite, hypocrite, you better find your w-a-y
Hypocrite, hypocrite, you better find your w-a-y
Back biter, you better go you a-w-a-y....... and on and on. Remember? Am
sure you do.
At that time, we never knew that this going was going to be fulfilled here
in Gambia in the person of you Jilanka. You claim to be able to cure AIDS
and many more ailments one of which you are afflicted with. If you think
Allah/God is an entity you can joke with, keep being sneaky and very soon
you will see. Remember Bob Marley said you can fool some people some of the
time but not all the time. Nature is going to catch up with you sooner than
you think. If we Gambians can't catch up with your deceptive schemes, we
believe in a higher Being who can and will answer our prayers. Forget about
the prayers and bulls being sacrificed in Banjul. Those prayers will not
even leave the walls of the mosque. You cautioned us to be wary of your
AWOL (absent without leave) demon, and little did you know there is no demon
that is loose, you are this very demon to our nation. Many Gambians did not
know why you are angry for no reason. But some of us close to you know that
it is not your doing. That you're not normal and yourself. If your doctors
did not tell you this already, read the symptoms of diabetes. Temper
tantrums like you have. Hello Gambians this is why my Oga rants and swats at
flies even if there were no flies about. One of his sicknesses is Temper
disorder. I will believe anyone if they tell me you also have Bipolar since
you portray the signs and symptoms too. We hope and pray that the medical
attention you received in Paris will last for a long time and will do you
good. We wish you good health but you should humble yourself and come clean
to Gambians whose lives you have been playing with. Mr. Healer why waste our
tax money if the herbs you claim can cure diabetes are in your botanic
garden in Kanilai?
*Our Drunken Gun weilding Soldiers*
I hate to talk about my comrades in arms but Gambia is bigger than its army
and Gambia comes first before any of its security apparatus and how I wish
most of my colleagues know this. During the time of former president Jawara,
the army was full of disciplined and well qualified men. But with the advent
of Oga and his tribalistic madness, he is spoiling all genuine formations
like the army. Not only is it tribalised, it is also polarized. The level of
discipline and education is falling since Jammeh and his henchmen are bent
in Jolanising all establishments in the Gambia. It was this day in December
that Parrot and I went to the airport to pick Parrot's wife and daughter who
came to join him on his vacation in The Gambia. On approaching the Brufut
Airport junction we realized that the traffic was slowing down and we
wondered what the problem was. As we arrived at the junction we noticed an
unsteady figure in military uniform walking unsteadily up and down the road
mixing up the whole traffic. He did not seem to know what he was doing.
Parrot was waved to the side by a soldier armed with an AK47. Many cars were
in front of us and some were beckoned to move on without even being
inspected or the drivers being spoken to. I just sat there and observed this
drunken daft parading himself at the junction. I beckoned to the fool to
come over since I wanted to find out what was going on with his behaviour.
As he approached our car, Parrot's daughter started screaming and crying as
she has never seen armed military personnel in public aside from the TV. Her
mum put her head down and this scum came over to me and tried making out my
face. He gave me my compliments. When I looked at his weapon, I realized
that it was cocked and I cautioned him to put it back to safety mode. When
he came over to our car window to try to speak to me, his eyes were red
bloodshot and there were white things that looked like the ones Oga himself
used to have at the side of his mouth purportedly from substance abuse. And
my, my, the stench that came from his breath only heaven knows what he must
have taken/drunken. Parrot lamented the fact that this gun could have
accidentally fired and claim innocent live(s) which may include that of the
soldier himself. I will not want to mention the name of the soldier for his
and my own protection.
It is high time we start drug screening our security men at the recruiting
venue. It is not enough to look at the body structure and tribal marks or
ethnic affiliation. If we continue to just look at the surface, we are
sitting on a time bomb which is waiting to explode and it may be right under
Oga's nose. Wasalam.
