TEETH BITE:GAMBIA'S INDEPENDENCE DAY A THING OF THE PAST!!!!!

Gambia's Independence day, is now becoming a thing of the past. It was on February 18, 1965, when we gained independence from Britain, our former colonial masters. In the streets of Banjul,today people don't talk about independence day.

Our national day had been traded with illegality. Under Yahya, July 22ND matters and not independence.This was the day, when they toppled the democratically elected government of Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara. This was the day when our nation was denied democracy.This was the day when poor soldiers robbed our national treasury. Yahya knows what we are talking about. His Continent Bank account number withheld for now, was in the red. Jammeh, was one of those poor soldiers who took over drafts from his uncle, cum brother Kawsu Gibba. For some reasons, Gibba decided to write up those over drafts taken by Jammeh.

JAMMEH'S DEBTS STILL OUTSTANDING

Up to the time of piecing this teeth bite together, Jilanka had not paid those over drafts he took from the Continent Bank. This bank was later liquidated due to debts accrued by Yahya and others. A report released by a local accounting firm featured names of individuals and companies indebted to the defunct Continent Bank. Yahya was among those poor soldiers, who stormed the bank premises early morning scouting for over draft.

Gambians should not be surprised about his wealth. This man was from no where and as such he will not hesitate to sell The Gambia, just to realise his "millionaire" dream. Jammeh, believes in illegality and will show the British that February 18, was not our national day. He even said in the past that February 18, was not our independence day. He said the British left mosquitoes and poverty in The Gambia after "looting" our national resources. This statement of Jammeh is widely documented. Jilanka believes that his failed so called "revolution" was Gambia's independence. Little did the "Kanilai criminal" knows that this was a day when our freedoms and liberties were seized.

GAMBIA COLONISED BY JAMMEH

It is sad that we are still colonised by Yahya and his repressive regime. July 22ND was not only "forced colonisation", but also slavery as well. Under Jawara's regime people can speak freely. But under Yahya is the reverse. His bully boys the "NIAS" arrest anyone who is critical of Jammeh. This was not what the British left with us on February 18. Jawara and his team were told to nurture the democratic goals, which was the order of the day. Why is Jammeh trying to down play this important national day of our nation? This is unacceptable. Millions of dalasis were spent on the day of illegality, July 22ND, when our own national day is not given the attention it deserved. The Queen must be shocked by this developments. Chei....Gambia. This man does not respect people's freedoms and liberties. His style of forced rule should be stopped in the interest of democracy.

UDP LEADER OUT, KEMESSENG IS STILL IN NADD

We still cannot understand the game lawyer Darboe is trying to play with NADD. The other day he says he resigned from NADD and yet Kemesseng and Yahya Jallow are still part and parcel of NADD. Remember, Kemesseng and Yahya are top guns of the UDP. How can the father migrate the leaving the sons behind? Is this what is expected of a good father? We are concerned. We hope Darboe will further clarify this serious state of affairs. The reason for his resignation was centred on lack of trust amongst the NADD leadership. A serious charge indeed. Who are these NADD officials Darboe was talking about? What have they done that might angered the son of Dobo?

THE BY ELECTION TALK!!!!

We learned that Yahya Jallow and Kemesseng are trying to legitimise the existence of NADD by rallying behind the coalition. This we were told will restrain the IEC from organising another by elections. Chei..... Darboe says he informed IEC about his resignation and was going to re-apply as UDP leader. His application was granted, which later led to the Brikama rally. There is no word yet as to whether he Ousainou had registered UDP as an existing political party. If he does, why is Kemesseng and Yahya serving as executive members under NADD? Jallow and Jammeh have all rights to be members of NADD, but the situation needs to be cleared for the sake of clarity. We do not know if these people are still answerable to their party leader. NADD, must clear the air to avoid speculations. Chei Jama.

Jarama Justice Sam,
When you talk about democracy,may I humbly ask you what is democracy?
If you have an answer 4 me, then why do you question the freedom of choice of party of some former udp executive members?
You need political and democraticall maturity 4 you seem to have none.
My Brother 'Har ral ma wahal la' let me enlightened you a bit,Dr.Jallow Dembo and Kemesseng are matured citizens and have their own freedom of choice of party.If they stayed in NADD,then they want to stay within the umbrela and can choose to leave any time they choose.This is all democracy in action.There were so many former ppp big wigs in APRC now not so?Why can you open you mouth to those then so called die hard PPP militants to come back and rally behind OJ as the interim leader of their former party is Heading a mighty coliation?
Justice Sam I wish I can face you and my friend Pa Ndery 4 YOU People have recently fallen off the right line and you've started questioning people's commitments to putting the Gambia back on its democratic footing.
I cannot conclude ofcause without thanking you 4 your reminder of the independance day....I will cry if I try to elaborete on that Because with all what we in the Gambia know about the cercrifices of our elders to have this tiny tongue as a sovereign Nation and not to merge with mighty Senegal as earlier suggested,If somebody 4 what ever reason wants people to forget the day we became sovereign,and to rather waist millions on celebrating a coup de tat... Oh God help us....
Now from that arear 4 I have started shedding tears.You kno bro I enjoy some of yor constructive comments on this paper but learn and keep learning to be accomodative.People are entitled to their choice that why we are crying for a change.In the APRC, support is by force on certain members of the civil service.The Army (Do you kno they've even changed the way they swear oath of allegiance?),the NIA,Chiefs,Commissioners,and now even Alkalolus are fired if they don't show solidarity with APRC.The worst is our elected legislators are so afraid of the executive that Once I was travelling with a friend MP when I tried to explain to him what his constituent expects him to do in the National Assembly, Do you kno what he replied,''' My Friend it cannot work we have to openly support APRC in the House or else you are seen as an enemy of the president and who knows what will happen to you if that is alledge?I Look at Him and there were tears in His eyes...WE have no choice'He went I said to him ..'you are either a hypocrete or none muslim if you cannot face the truth,then why not resign or not stand in the next election?Boy, he went on If you put your hand in the croc's mouth and it sleeps with it,you are stucked until it reopens it again.'
God please help.
Peace and love
Mankajang Janfara.
