Sister Omega, under no gun point, you willingly wrote:
"......There is more investment going into employing the youth with programmmes, ICT companies are starting to invest in Gambia bring in CCTV technology and electronic ID Technology. Whilst I was there was 250 jobs being created by an ICT company in Banjul....."
First it is hard to understand or rather much harder to believe that you mean what you wrote. I have to struggle for interpretation and meaning.
Before going any further, I wish to state very clearly that any ICT company that claims as pace setter for CCTV in Yaya's Gambia, that claim is void of truth. CCTV has been in use long B4 Yaya Jammeh robbed power to impose this mad rule.
There is no standard of high lifestyle living foreign to Gambia and brought by Yaya Jammeh that any developemnt expert will claim without risk of being ridiculed.
Pay heed to what Watchman sought to salvage you from. Yaya Jammeh is no inventor but a destructive invader. He is no investor but a stumbling block to progress and total economic welfare in Gambia.
Where we assume ( and we all) that captain Jammeh drills his fanticised oil wells and springle the gains all over Gambia, that is still not enough for the amount of damage the fellow caused Gambia.
Yaya knows he is not fit for purpose and yet will insists it is people who choose to keep him.
Let him disarm and join the arena as man without weapons. Only angels will have the story to let him know.
This cunning scheme of self perpetuation and absurd change of tricks by Yaya will only yield him abysmal doom sooner than anyone expects. Over here in the spaces of Bantaba, many events have been predicted and they happened. Add this to the list and check time.
Where are all the people who held guns and others with big mouth talks who defended Yaya and now praying that the devil vanishes in thin air?
There is no debate about what is at stake. Yaya will have to leave his traces in a way nobody wish for the most deadly common criminal. The damage is done and Gambians will never stay being fooled any longer. Rest of Yaya's days will only be full of thorns and hot steel along rocky pathways.
Have a very nice nice weekend and big thumbs for King Moe. Ya'll with full bag of insults, please throw in. |

Karamba be under kno illusion that IT company was put under great scrutiny by GRTS.Obviously living in the most survillenced society on the planet the UK. I was sceptical about it and so was the presenter of the programme. This was a Gambian Entrepenuer relocating from the US seeking to make Gambia the Silcon valley of Africa.Let's face in today's world when we in the West i.e uk want to speak about a technical fault or financial query when we dail for assistance someone in India might pick up the phone. CCTV is available internationally and how it is used is dependent on the society. Gambia is catching up the technology has arrived ICT is the revolution that's taking Gambia by storm. Kraramba 16 years ago ICT was in its infancy, so was multimedia today's technology supersedes any other technology of 1994, which is obselete now. Your argument is baseless.For example CCTV is specialist equipment security Guards need to go on specialist CCTV training in addition to Security Guard training to use the software in the UK. This company specialises in the Software and will be using Gambian staff to work on producing and using the software. It is giving on the job training to Gambia students within the ICT Security Trade.
Karamba an agenda based on fear and media manipulation will force the hearts and minds of the Gambian people to vote in the opposition. The reality is Karamba that 16 years is a life time. For I have seen my own child born in 1994 just before the coup grow up in this period (and so have all the other parents and carers of 16 year olds.). It's the younger generation who are the first time voters that have never experience life in Gambia without Jammeh who are in the majority. When you consider the demography of the country that you will need to convince with your argument. They are the ones who are receiving the rewards that others only dreamed of, and yet still there is so much work needing to be done and much less than before Jammeh's arrival. Karamba seriously I think you should go and see Gambia for yourself as it is now. After all time doesn't wait for no one!

Tourism is declining due to the Global Meltdown and traditional vistors to the Gambia are facing mass unemployment at home, higher tax hikes, increased taxes including the departure taxes for British Tourist who have to pay more the further they go. The competion in the Peanut market is fierce and Gambia has to diversify and is doing so. You forget to mention that farmers are diversifying and that the national motto is we eat what we grow. The government has launched schemes for youth in animal husbandry and Butchery in the countryside to support the Youth in Self-employment schemes. There is also a Public Works Programme for example South Bank High rd is currently being constructed. There is more competition with more airines going to Gambia giving Tourists more choice for the length of their vacations, and a wider choice of accommodation than ever before There is more investment going into employing the youth with programmmes, ICT companies are starting to invest in Gambia bring in CCTV technology and electronic ID Technology. Whilst I was there was 250 jobs being created by an ICT company in Banjul. Of course there is an unemployment situation in Gambia however initiatives are being put in place to create wider opportunities for the youth who are now better educated and skilled than before. More girls are being educated and less of them are in domestic service,they are getting good results and gaining scholarships.
The Airport has been cleared of most of the Bumsters, and Gambian Beaches are cleared from the mobs of youth hassling. Now the beaches can be utilised by ordinary Gambians and Tourists. Most of Gambia's Tourist are repeat visitors anyway, and in a competitive market place tourism has always been a fickle sector one which any country can't put all of its eggs into. After three years absence from Gambia has continued to develop at a fast pace and yes people are getting jobs. There is so much jobs needed to be created for the tremendous amount of work out there that needs to be done for those who aren't afraid of hard work, and are motivated in getting or more importantly creating it. In the provinces people are busy although I was there on the run up of Tobaski traders were doing roaring trade in goats, food stuffs, electrical goods etc. What was suprising was how many people both young and old have mobiles with internet connections, the range of phone card providers have increased televisions,Scooters and bicycles. Upcountry the markets were doing some good trade, and construction is happening there as well. To quote a Tourist who I saw on GRTS I enjoy returning to Gambia because every time I see more developments, and really and truly that sums it up the wealth of change that has transformed the country in such a short space of time. There'definiately no chance of turning back the clock to when Gambia mainly depended on peanuts and Tourism. The Gambia's motto today is WE GROW WHAT WE EAT AND WE EAT WHAT WE GROW! Farmers are busy growing food and of course Human nature being as it is people want even more improvements and that will come.

Ok, those are edifices some of which are white elephants, by the way. But what about the per capita income of an average Gambian?
When I was growing up, which is not long ago, almost every family is capable of maintaining 3 square meals per day. Now most families are struggling to maintain one, and that is progress in your book? Give me a break.
I don’t have to rely on anyone for information because I am part of that community.

Nyari, as I said the pace of change is happening fast malnourishment has decreased dramatically in Gambia with the diversification initiative spearheaded by the APRC Government, International and National stakeholders. As for scraping together three meals per day, right now people all over the world are finding that difficult to achieve and to pay bills.Again really opposition mobilisers have been left in a time warp without really having a finger on the pulse on the ground about events happening in the country. The mirage created online is far from the reality happening on the ground. That's why Gambians at home aren't convinced enough to trust them let a lone vote for them. You see there is a natural inclination for people to start looking at the hand pointing the finger all the time. The Gambian population are ready to work and do for themselves they are no longer satified to sit down and wait for the crumbs falling off of someone elses table. That's why the skills initiatives being launched to get Gambian Youth into employment is happening.

Sister O, shut it now. You can't tell me anything about the Gambia. I am an indigene of that country with far more connection than you, and visits there more often than you do. I have relatives on both sides of the divide; the rich and the poor, the urban settlers and the rural dwellers. And I travel extensively round the country to meet them as a matter of duty, and you have the guts to tell me what Gambia is like?
Give me a break!

Nyari what's up you think you are the only one who has family,friends and colleagues on both sides of the political divide in Gambia both extremely rich and poor with contacts on both banks of the river Gambia in both rural and urban areas travelling from one end of the Gambia on both sides think again chum. So do I and what? Did my words cut to the heart of the matter and expose your weaknesses get over it Bro and bring your ego in check. Your ascertains of me are illogical a figment of your barren imagination.
Kobo keep recycling old news the world's moved a naive officer at the time can promise the world when he had no real experience of governance the pity is that still today the opposition can't even come up with available manfesto to offer the people by the way what is your manifesto. Playing armchair politics is one thing running a country is quite a different thing altogether Anyway keep on doing what you're doing because you are assisting the APRC campaign by demonstrating to the Gambians at home how of the wall you really are.

So you really want to tell me that your connection to the Gambia is at par with mine? I think you have insulted your own intelligence there, girl.
I am not only a citizen but an indegine citizen of that country. Anyway, now that you exposed your own thoughtlessness, I leave you to wallow in your delusions.

The words of good Sister Omega and I quote:
"It's the younger generation who are the first time voters that have never experience life in Gambia without Jammeh who are in the majority. When you consider the demography of the country that you will need to convince with your argument. They are the ones who are receiving the rewards that others only dreamed of, and yet still there is so much work needing to be done and much less than before Jammeh's arrival. Karamba seriously I think you should go and see Gambia for yourself as it is now. After all time doesn't wait for no one!"
Here is exactly how far Sister Omega exposed the most dirty of Yaya Jammeh's trickery. In the shallow depth of Jammeh's deceptive mind, he only needs to perpetuate in power long enough to bury a whole generation of conscious voter population. In that process, the trapped younger generation can only relate to what they see, Yaya in his total deceptive scheme.
No, Sister Omega, Yaya is now counting seconds. He will never enjoy peace in Gambia with that grand scheme of excessive cruelty and deception. We are closing on him. By self perpetuation Yaya is seeking to be exposed and rejected. In fact, his big reason for hating Gambians is because they refuse to accept him. Use of guns makes him more a hated material. Yaya comes to know how much even his sycophants hate him. Count them.
By the way, this deluded notion that development in Gambia owes it to Yaya's invasion is a non- starter. Gambianhave gone far enough before this rogue. If there was nothing before his ugly invasion, what made him rob that was nothing?
To borrow from Watchman, it is one bitter insult to Gambian intelligence when Sister Omega and ilk choose to splash acid in the eyes of clear vision people.
Sister Omega and co, please take a good look at Youtube Yaya Jammeh videos of 1994 and tell us if the man is for real.
Yes indeed, technology has advanced so much that Yaya Jammeh is full blown on youtube in his battered and torn up image.
About tachnological advancement in broader context, it is something the whole world is catching on. About 50 years ago, only the Queen and few others had personal home phones. About 30 years ago, fewer people in the world had any mobile phone more than walkie-talkie. About 20 years ago, mobile phones had less facilities and mostly in black and white. About 10 years ago, not many school children had personal mobile communication around the world.
As at today, technology remains so unstable and scary. What the techno gurus are doing in Jammeh's Gambia, only them can tell. Use of technology for illicit money transafers is bad deal. In short, they are doing what is already on. Surely, without Yaya, many more capable Gambians would be doing better things. |

Oh my dear sis,
Come off it!Do you think any Gambian would tell you people any truthful news about how they feel concerning president Jammeh while they still in the Gambia? Tell me who wants to be captured in the darkness and taken to Bambadinka with cable electricity on your anus? Maybe you need to think again.The only time people will know how Gambians truely feel about Jammeh is when he is out of power!Then you and I can get the true opinion of the people.If Jammeh wants to be king, those you talked to would tell you they support it because they don't know if you are government informer or not and much more you educated who in the Gambia trust educated people?They think they are all looking for positions from Jammeh and they can easily get it by reporting Jammeh oponents.
God save the Gambia.

Elaborate Nyari,
having just returned from Gambia that was the feedback I was getting on the ground, and I was there when the news reports that suggested that there were roamers about Jammeh becoming King of Gambia that came over Reuters coinciding with jammeh leaving for Saudi Arabia for Tobaski on Hajj. I also met up with APRC members whilst there and spoke both Supporters and members of the opposition, as well as community leaders, and a lot of youth. In fact I was also asking students opinions in school about how they saw the future in the country. so tell me Nyari where did I get my facts wrong. Are you implying that you know better than those people I communicated with about their lives in Gambia than they do?
Peace

Janyafara why are you trying to portray your fellow brothers and sisters in Gambia as docile victims? On the contrary people who I have listened to and spoken to have voiced their opinions on Jammeh and the majority of them have been his supporters those who don't support him have spoken out freely. You see unlike yourself I welcome divergent views and am not trying to ram my thoughts and feelings down other peoples throats. Therefore, I am interested in what the people on the ground think rather than dictating to them what they should think. I've also had a lot of feedback from those who read this site and encouraged them to participate if possible here so that we can start hearing their voices and opinions on how they see the future of their country that they choose to live in despite the politiking going on.
