PANORAMA with 'Bulfaaleh':Why President Jammeh insults Gambian men? A child who grew without tasting "fatherhood".
1-Understanding Yahya Jammeh's general past.
Wonders never sieze in this world! Psychologists also made it easier for us by saying, thought means:"past experience and subsequent mental operation". A couple of months back right here in this medium of communication we touched on this topic vis-a-vis President Jammeh's sulky tirades towards our fathers,uncles,brothers,grand fathers, and in-laws(male). Not knowing his history will make one wonder why he has chosen this path. However,the moment one knows who President Jammeh really is,where he was born, or who is father and mother really are. It helps. Likewise know what ensued after he was born would also give anyone a better understanding. These reactions are not meant to be rude ones,they are meant to inform Gambians about the deepest side of Yahya's past as an angry child who never tasted the sweetness of "fatherhood". Ask men like Kukoi Samba Sanyang they will tell you the past of President Jammeh. Ask men like Shiriff Dino Hydara they will tell you Jammeh's past. For Jammeh's information Hydara was received by high ranking French government officials in France. Did he know that Hydara was in France when he visited Paris? I also spoke with Kukoi Samba Sanyang at length about Yahya Jammeh's paternal line. It is amazing to know that Yahya's anger against Gambian men traces its roots to his own father Junkung Jammeh. President Jammeh's own father was a wrestler-dawdler who frequented different villages. As far as he has decided to be unethical therefore would insult our Gambian men willy nilly he will be taught a lesson he will ever live to remember. So much has been gathered on Jammeh's negligent father's past that it would fill a container. President Jammeh should have been the last person to insult other people's fathers. He sould have been the last and I mean it. His own father is not the least a good example to show anyone thus why he castigates Gambian men thinking every man is like his own father. That is wrong.
2-Who are President Jammeh's mother,father and how he was brought up?
President Jammeh's own mother Assombi Bojang used to sell "gejjah" dry fish,'kabba nombo' fruits,and other condiments at the Bakau market just opposite the old canal near the sea. Adjacent the BICIS Bank Bakau Branch. Here is where Jammeh used to come, meet his mother after work as a soldier. She sat there the whole day under the sun selling condiments to feed him. He is the only son she has or at least the only one we know as someone who was fathered by Junkung Jammeh. Him Yahya will never dare swear on the Qur'an that his father stayed to help raise him. He knows that very well. His father Junkung Jammeh was never seen or heard from as his child was growing. This effect has ever since stayed in his son(Yahya)'s mind. The same Jammeh according to sources was adopted by the Kujabis at an early age. As a baby when he was born his mother was helped by a man called Njoll Kujabi in Dobong village. This man provided a mattress made out of grass to Yahya's mother. This very Njoll Kujabi is the father of James Kujabi,Anusmana Kujabi,Jasajah Kujabi and Abdoulie Kujabi.
3-President Jammeh from Kanilai to Half-die then Bakau gendarmerie.
President Jammeh at an early age was attending Bwiam Primary School. He was taught by former Bwiam head teacher(his own uncle) John Paul Bojang-former Ambassador. He started as a catholic student while attending the then catholic school of Bwiam. Thus where he captured his middle name "Jemus" what ever it really means I don't know! A confirmation of the confusing patterns found in his long name Yahya Abdul Aziz Jemus Junkung Jammeh. The last two can be traced to his paternal line. The first one he picked up from a fulani Imam he was named for after he was born in Kanilai. The second name Abdul Aziz really is a package stolen to strengthen the animist's identity. This he needed in 1994 after siezing power or when he was not sure if his reign was to stay long. In reality President Jammeh's original name has no bearing towards Abdul Aziz at all.
4-Received by Pa Alphonse Tamba because he was a delinquent child.
President Jammeh after several attempts finally scored a mark that helped him get acceptance into Gambia High School(then). He had no parent to help him stay in Banjul and its environs. Therefore Pa Alphonse Tamba a generous man who helped many children like President Jammeh from the Fonis received him.
There he stayed and attended Gambia High School. Crispin Grey Johson used to teach at Gambia High School. Of course he dares not confirm my story. He knows what I am writing but will never nod or authenticate it in public. There are Gambians who attended the same class with President Jammeh. I know a lady working for the GCAA-Gambia Civil Aviation Authority who attended the same class with him(name withheld). I also met a lady who was his classmate at the department of state for foreign affairs(she is no longer there).
President Jammeh in the Gendarmerie who was Corporal Bory for him?
President Jammeh as soon as he completed his O Levels rushed to join the then gendarmerie in 1983. Some of his batch mates are one Alasana Kuyateh(former accounts officer of the police force),Kaba Bajo(Ambassador) and others. His God Father during his tenure at the gendaremrie was one man called Corporal Bory. Jammeh knows the man. Later on in life Bory and Jammeh I believe were not close. This Bory used to travel to London visiting a British family he met in Bakau. The same Bory used to help Jammeh buy some things while the latter was a poor soldier earning a meager salary. All these years no one ever heard President Jammeh make mention of his father. He grew angry against men because it was stemming from the way he was abandoned by his later father. If President Jammeh loved his father so much he would have "urged" his disciples like FJC and others to be worshipping the father's tomb by now. Who has ever heard him mention what his father did in public?
Why didn't he name his father at least after a canoe or a school? Why didn't he name his son after Junkung Jammeh then?
All these are very relevant questions because a lot is known about the man's past and why he feels betrayed by men. He derives that hatred from the way he saw himself grow as a child who was abandoned by his own paternal side. Therefore the anger Jammeh has against Gambian men is not society's fault,it is his own father's fault. More will be released on this subject after he ends his meet the people's tour of insults!
