Well you have won me over. I think you will make a good negotiator because you have rare skills in convincing people.
You i am not a supporter of Jawara either. I was just being a messenger of history. Thats why i said by 1985, he should have gone as had lost steam.
Good points brother and i must admit that some of your points are very valid. Do you know what the U.S gave us at independent?. I believe it was one tractor, and a plough or somewhere there. We received virtually nothing to start a government.Not even a fitting consulate. The U.S "consulate" was housed in a hotel room (room No.3 or 5)in Atlantic Hotel with two staff( husband and wife). Nigerian Association gave us a Speaker's chair which the Speaker refused to use.
Yes. Stand tall brother and seek the best for your country. I like that spirit in you. Go for it. Lets all go for it.
AJARAMA BALDEH BANNA. I HAVE ALREADY SEEN THE TRAITS OF MUSA MOLLOH BALDEH IN YOU.
Honestly, it was a tough beginning in 1965. I am also the first to get western education at the WEC Night School in Wellingara. My classroom was under a big TABO Tree and we were exposed to dust in our eyes. When i reached primary 5 as a senior student, we moved into a thatche classrom made of rhunpalm leaves which were patched together making the class room very dark inside. We had no choice but determined to make it through.
This is the difference today. Kids have classroom, mobiles and very horrible grades. I agree that a child that is to be king, must not be raised entirely on a bed of downs. (Ghanaian proverb) |

Thanks uncle Kon. and off course you made me humble when you gave us food for thought about our history. I must admit we need more history so we can understand better how we get to where we are. Your intellectual ability to master our history is second to none. I would like to read more about the history of the Gambia during the scramble for Africa. Do you have any suggestions for resources to read?
Oh one more thing before I forgot. All we needed from the British and Americans was the opportunity to use our own brains. Am sure there were plenty brains at the time of our attainment for Independence. They only needed to use them instead of the tractor or some other mockery items.
My hat off to you and I will start to achive all your history lessons for future reference. "Ninseekoto buukaa Nyamo teenya" an old cow makes best us of green grass.
Respect always.

| NNIN SAMOMULU BEKELOLA NYAMO KELAKA BATA ( when two elephants are fighting it is the grass that suffer ). the encounter between uncle baldeh and alpha kondo is so educative i spent one hour slowly reading both your postings. unjarama nobetey . i also admire the mutual respect showm in the exchanges. this is a good sign for the future gambia. guys i am proud of you . kondo ,as i always say , i love history and today you have given me a doze that will last me forever. gambia for us all .as baldeh accurately put it , now we look foreward and learn from the mistakes of jawara and our current concrete mind yahya . we need to take away every hindarance in our path to greatness .we can make our small paradise a lovely place for every single gambian ,and we owe this to our future generation. |

.we can make our small paradise a lovely place for every single gambian ,and we owe this to our future generation.
You remind of the movie "Cool Runnings" based on a Jamaican Bobsledder team competing in the Olympics even though they have never worked in snow. Everyone doubted them from the beginning but their coach never did.
One of the players saw a picture of Buckingham Palace and told his friend that when he grew up he would build a house like that. He did not know it was the queens Palace he was looking at in the picture. One unruly team mate laughed at him saying that there could only be one building like that.
But to his surprised another player interjected saying " go build your castle.. You may not live in Buckingham Palace but you can build your own palace equally as good as the one you are looking at..."
What Gambia lacks is a sense of patriotism myself included. The sense of being good citizens has since evaporated. Like the African proverb: "The ruin of a nation starts in the home of its people". We hardly find any motivator around us to tell us we can do it. “Optimism is a force multiplier” Colin Powell
I have not seen the love of country carelessly pushed to the dumpsite in any country like Gambia. "KEN DUMA RAYE DESS" is the skeleton in our cupboard. It means "i will not sacrifice my self for others". I have heard this said even yesterday by a Gambian.
Until then, we must be prepared to be consumers of civilisation and being used as political pawns in the arena, while we hoped that some "benefactor' will exercise virtue to rescue us.
All throughout history of civilisation, a people have never been rescued by outsiders. If outsiders did succeed its because they found them already with will and the stubborness from the people in their desire to be free and be masters of their destinies. The only thing lacked was not courage but perhaps the resources to leap into the future.
Like Gandi said " They may torture my body, or break my bones or even kill me.... but they will not have my OBEDIENCE/". The emphasis in gandi's quote above is the word obedience which i i put in capital letter. Obedience here is the unflinching support for justice. We must never waiver as the kenyans say: [b]" a hunter who is after an elephant, does not stop to throw stones at birds". In other words, we must be as focused as a bullet in flight. Lets put our eyes on the big picture.
Individual success does not take us anywhere unless we can look back and see that all our neigbors have made it. Like Nkrummah said ".. Ghana's independence is meaningless unless it is followed by the total liberation of the African continent". One can only be successsful if all the people around you are also successful. To be surrounded by a sea of human scarecrows, while dining in heaven is nothing less than, greed, indifference but typical of someone with a selfish and callous heart.
This is why when one falls in the gambia, they fall to "the bottomless pit"(Bob Marley), because while they walked up the ladder of success, they were not nice to those they passed along the way, who would infact be the ones who would have extended their hands as they fell down. Thats why they fall hard with no coushin.

Baldeh
The problem was my brother there were no brains in town. The colonial Govt. never took education seriously until in the 1950s, after the second world war and with the Civil Rights movement in America, it became obvious that african colonies will also soon ask for independence. Thats why Ghana had independence earlier(1957) because Nkrummah studied in the U.S and saw and learnt from the likes of Martin Luther King, Du Bois, Marcus Garvey.
The initial policy of civil rights activists was for africans to go back to the mother land which led to the foundng of the state of Liberia modelled entirely on U.S. system of govt. with a senate and congress. Infact the official residence of the President of Liberia is called Executive Mansion which was the old name even in the U.S before the capital was moved from New York to DC where it got a new name of White House.
Monrovia was named after James Monroe the then President of the United States. Gambia honestly lacked the right human capital at independence not only in numbers but in quality.
But thats no reason tobe complacent. Now we have somewhere to start and if dont, history will be very harsh on us. |

Thanks Kons and dBaldeh for duelling on some history and facts about former President Jawara. Would like to update Kons on certain facts on the civil service between two key departmentrs i.e The Accountant General's & The Auditor General.
At the Accountant General, so-called Davie Davis serving as the most senior Gambian under the Accountant General and was considered Deputy, Acting or Counterpart Accountant General briefly. Gambia benefited from The British under Overseas Development Agency for Technical Assistance for manning as heads of those two departments. Davie Davies was working with Mr. Alan Goodridge, a British until his retirement but Alan Gooddridge was the Technical Adviser / The Accountant General. When Davie Davis retired Abu Denton was promoted from Principal Accountant to Deputy Accountant General and then he fought his way through for political appointment as The first Accountant General. Abu Denton was a notorious corrupt person and was for personal aggrandishment and he had massive wealth and subjected to series of commision of enquiries. The fisrt commision was The Rural Development Project (R.D.P case) whilst a Principal Accoutant during Jawara's time before he rose to Accountant General and turn that department NASTY, MAFIA-STYLE ADMINISTRATION & RAMPANT CORRUPTION ensued.
At The Auditor General, the first Gambian Auditor General was Mr. Momodou. I. Secka (M.I.Secka) who work hard and very vigilant for this position. However POWER CORRUPTS and moral and professional standards started to crumble virtually in the Finance Departments of The civil service.
BornAfrican mentioned about Banjul mafia to allianate the urban settlers from the rural based on their privileges and different social lifestyles and political activities. During Jawara days Banjul was typical with ;lots of socialisation, camping after hours of work; which our senegalese community coined in the word "VOUS" which may be french. There was peace and harmony between neighbours, friends and community in these vous in almost all streets of Banjul. Those settling at the urban area from rural origin easily integrate to the Banjul community, therefore networking and communication easily flows through. There was only one stadium called The Box Bar Stadium for football and other popular parks at Banjul and sports development was concentrated within greater Banjul. What is the Banjul mafia? I don't understand who are they but those in priveledged positions LOVE RESIDING IN BANJUL and contributed lots to the community!. I would agree that POLITICS and POWER STRUGGLES started between the elites that reside and integrated properly in Banjul and those living at the rural areas or from rural areas encouraged by THE COMPETITION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE AND POLITICAL AUTHORITY between CIVIL SERVANTS, PUBLIC FIGURES and OTHER CAPACITIES etc. It is worth mentioning that it was politics and corruption that wreck institions like The G.P.M.B, The Gambia Co-opertives Union, The Gambia Commercial & Development Bank (now The Trust Bank Gambia Ltd), The Accountant General, many project failures and eventually toppling of Jawara. Towards Jawara's demise larvish life-styles was in the open and in social functions, naming ceremonies, marriages, etc there was too much DISHING OUT OF MONEY (HARD CURRENCY) BY PUBLIC FIGURES for Jaliba Kuyateh's RAMSON MONEY, MONEY, MONEY thrown in the air whilst Gambia lacks development and RISE IN POVERTY as NEGATIVES.
However there were some POSITIVES and hard working polcy makers like B.B.Darboe amongst others.

Dawda Jawara muslim had a muslim name from his parents and teken to a mission school and given the name David at the mission. Later he converted as dealt already from previous posts.
On the history and biography we have gathered a lot. Therefore lets proceed on the POLITICS and engaged BORN AFRICAN to compare the two LEGACY, his ALLEGATIONS, to help us SUMMARISED THE CHARGE SHEETS FOR TRIAL AT THE HAGUE

I know the Davies family. I know two of his sons david davies Jr. Who became the deputy at the Nationa Archives working with the Chief Archivist Stephen bahoum. He has helped me many times in my research with other staff like Manki, Vera Prom, Momodou Baldeh who is now in France(from Basse mansajang). An older Sierraleonean man who worked for the elctoral office Mr. Camara was also a frequent visitor at the archives.
Vera Prom's father used to be a pastor and the brother a Director of GNIC some years ago.
Mr. davies's second son, the name i cant now rememeber was mentally challenged but not before he designed the Denton Bridge currently being used as i was told. The man is still alive walking the streets of banjul.Other accounts attribute to frustration for not been given opportunity.
Mr. David Davies Senior has a house on kairaba Avenue around IEC Office with a lot of coconut trees inside the yard.
I have worked with M.I. Secka and his wife i believe is Ramatoulie Secka who worked at Education Department and i believe also with the Girl Guides as a Commissioner or some senior position. The last time i saw him, he was driveing a green Mercedez Benz 200. I rememeber some of his staff Mr. Deen, Robinson, Mrs. Forster, Jobe. Mrs. Forster finally worked for the African Commission on Human rights just by the Peace Corp Offices. The African center and African Commission Centres on Human Rights are different organisations.
One is an NGO, the other an off shoot of the AU.
I also met Alan Goodridge. He was a pioneer in the ACCA programme in the Gambia at MDI and also scholarships in UK. It initially started with employees of Accountant General's Office, a tall lanky chap. I think his office was at the Finance Block and not in the Accountant General's Bulding. |

I think you should buy this book. Its based of a true story of a Fulani Prince who was defeated in war by the Jalunke tribe found mainly in Guninea Conakry. The Jalunke are the same as the Susu.
He was sold into slavery and later discovered in the Americas and later freed. He was a muslim named Ibrahim. His father was a king. I have ordered the book and will be busy browsing the pages. The abstract said he was captured by the jalunke who mainly live in Guinea and lately in the gambia. The Susu Jalunke are of the same tribe as Madam Jammeh, First lady. So this story is very close to home.

kondo ,when we lost sight of our ultimate purpose of life ,we then lost the love we should have for one another. i completely adhore the flare life style to the extend that i hate people like jaliba and yousour .this people mess-up the brains of our african brothers and sisters. i am not talking about music hating here before some will jump at me. the glory sing song of a selected few hardly yeild any fruit for the masses. now take an example of lang konteh central bank ,clerk bajo central bank ,yahya jammeh state house ,yankuba touray agric ,baba jobe mile 11 prisons ,kondo historian etc and you heap so much praise on them untill they actually forget about the bigger picture. this people see self-enrichment as the ultimate goal not national development .so if we talk about culture we need to look at what culture is holding us back mentally . the japanise were ruine after the second world war ,the germans etc but they fought back to take control of the international finance market that even the u.s and britain are envy of .
so what is holding us back ? lack of self believe and comminetee love .when we see our personal gains above public gain then we shall remain in this ruins for a long time. on the more encouraging note we can do it. yes we can change our conditions . i know we don't gold mines ,petrol fields but we can still utilise the scraps we have. the accountant general became a politcally tampared with so the key role of accountants where lost and not to easily be recovered . without viable financial institutions that need to put fear into the heart and minds of the authority what will stop them stealing ? corruption have become so bad ,auditors where offered massive bribes to over look misappropriations .and this practice sadly still prevails especially in our foriegn offices. it is lack of love for our kind that we are still left behind. |

santanfara, what a loaded question "so what is holding us back ? lack of self believe and comminetee love .when we see our personal gains above public gain then we shall remain in this ruins for a long time. on the more encouraging note we can do it. yes we can change our conditions . i know we don't gold mines ,petrol fields but we can still utilise the scraps we have. the accountant general became a politcally tampared with so the key role of accountants where lost and not to easily be recovered . without viable financial institutions that need to put fear into the heart and minds of the authority what will stop them stealing ? corruption have become so bad ,auditors where offered massive bribes to over look misappropriations .and this practice sadly still prevails especially in our foriegn offices. it is lack of love for our kind that we are still left behind", i would say all of the above,
For ME gambians hold gambians back. end of story. Look at some of the posting made on the bantaba money has been loaned to gambia, given in the form of grants and help. So where did it go.
gambians in the disapora have sent millios to gambia throught western union and other sources, it has been spent on wedding, funerals cars, houses, phones you name, some of it never benefits the receiver but someone else. JEALOUSY AND GREED ARE THE ENEMIES of gambia, look inwards before you look outwards. I would like to see a bit more unit between gambians. Look at the last elections, on e aprty accusing another, one party not putting campaign together because they would not get media coverage, what nonense, stand together, some gambians are all take, they would not think of passing on education becuase they are scared of what would happen. Campaign against the visa situation, help the students to receive a good education,. I visited Armitage and was over whelmed that this school out in the middle on nowhere could produce leaders and captains of industry. what has happened those that have left have not given back if every ex-puipl sponsored one child at the school hw much would that help the school. right now it is struggling.
Look at some of the issues discussed, roads, electricity would all help Gambia move forward, who should do this Gambians. The money is out there, please Get it together.
STOP CORRUPTION , BECAUSE THAT IS THEFT OF GAMBIANS BY GAMBIANS. also another distrubing fact is how many arab, and other african nationals own key businesses in Gambia, look at the hotel industry. some of your top school employ non gambian teachers. nigerians, ghanians and sierra leonians are teaching your children. WHY IS THAT. the standard of teaching and teachers has been debated in bataba , that is for Gambia to solve, why is it so poor, improve standards, improve expectations.

"Prince among Slaves" (Oxford Paperback Reference) [Paperback] by Alford, Terry
Uncle Kondorong, thanks for recommending that book "Prince among Slaves". I will order it and read more about the history. I am very interested in such books though don't have a lot of time in my hands. Work and family continue to occupy my schedule just like many others. However, I am passionate about reading history especially with my interest in writing. So thanks again for the resource.
Uncle Santa and Madiba, thanks for expanding on the debate. I totally agree with you guys that we are the ones holding ourselves back. No one can determine our faith. We are the only one who determines our success and failures.
I get so frustrated sometimes trying to get something done. We need to stop talking and start doing. Talk is cheap and taking concrete action to accomplish something is what is difficult.
The Gambian mentality especially the youths is so disturbing. My success means zero if it doesn't transform into the success of my fellow citizens. Once again, it is time we lift each other up in any way we can. Individuality does not work for many societies especially one like ours.
I always have in front of me that when duty calls no one should take a back seat. We should not wait to be called upon to do something. I guess as the mandinka proberb goes "Kambaa nyiyaa muu bonoleteh" meaning - being young comes with a heavy price. It is probably being at our busiest in life that makes it a little challenging for us to focus. We are all into this material world forgetting the less unfortunate among us.
May be seniors like Uncle Kon can lead us into something much more meaningful and rewarding for us all. Keep up the vision.
Baldeh
Keep it up.

Thanks Kons, dBaldeh and Jambo with your posts as we have gathered a lot.
Therefore lets proceed on the POLITICS and engaged BORN AFRICAN to compare the two LEGACY, his ALLEGATIONS, to help us COMPLILED OR SUMMARISED THE CHARGE SHEETS FOR TRIAL AT THE HAGUE.
On the polical climate during Jawara days there were more freedom and better democratic structures, in my opinion. "RANDEZ VOUS" culture (bantaba, open chating & political discussions) were don't without FEAR OR PARANOID as there was no N.I.A until lately established. There were no political harassments, arbitary arrests and detentions and the civil service was veru stable(i.e. not much hiring & firing for POLITICAL REASONS). Nothwistanding there were some failures that destroy some public institutions, corporations(i.e. g.p.m.b, gambia cooperatives union, commercial bank, agricutural development bank) amongst other projects; especially popular Rural Development Project (R.D.P).
As perceived by Jambo quoted below, all of them were characterised as follows:"quote:

"
POINTS EXTRACTED ABOVE (FOOD FOR THOUGHTS!):
"STOP CORRUPTION , BECAUSE THAT IS THEFT OF GAMBIANS BY GAMBIANS.! "
"what nonense, stand together!"
Jawara's LEGACY appears interesting, controversial but we can make CONTRAST with Jammeh's LEGACY under present political climate or since the advent of the coup.
FOR THE GAMBIA OUR HOMELAND!
"when we see our personal gains above public gain then we shall remain in this ruins for a long time!"

stop corruption, i stand by that statement, how many times do you hear of people being stopped by police and ask for a "fee", or told you need to pay a licence, look at the latest fuel episode, "Fees", taxes", this is corruption, all is takne from gambians or visitors and given to gambians. it would be nice if you did stand together, but the GREED, CORRUPTIONS best friends gets in the way of progress, IT HOLDS HANDS WITH JEALOUSY.
a decent wage for civil servants, nurses, teachers etc would help JEALOUSY AND GREED BEING A WAY OF LIFE. BUT WHO IS CHARGE OF WAGES, A GAMBIAN THINK ABOUT IT |
