''...When you build schools you need to improve quality teaching, have a plan that will create jobs ....
HE (Kondorong)
i got your point very well on quality perhaps this would be best addressed if there are more teachers. i dont know. i suffered from it personally, when i was doing my A-levels the ghanians teachers at GHS who headed the science departments were all leaving for the US, Marina etc. i remember the head of the school was always apologising saying he would find us a replacement each week!! it took months. in the end he got some Sierra Leoneans who also left ASAP. perhaps its even worst now. i dont know
if you stand at West Field at around 6pm and see the number of kids coming out of the schools its impressive, but it also makes you think where they will all work??
you dont trust any politician with you rights, I never listen to any politician in the first place. i will never do that.
i have been priviledged enough to know the gambia very well, i have travelled to every corner, i know what i mean when i talk about inequalities.
i am on a 'legal chair' sometimes as i try not to be drawn to new system old sytem arguments. just trying to take the weltanschung

Com on Njuks your are being too simplistic. Every human being is a political being. We negotiate with ourselves everday. There is a lot of internal politics in our selves so you cannot escape it outside. I bet you must be buying the observer to keep abreast. Your postings are all indications of a person well abreast with issues in the Gambia. Therefore you cannot be apolitical or not even listen to a politician.
I guess i have also been everywhere in the Gambia. I was raised by a school teacher who was posted all over the country and i had my primary education in atleast three locations. i also taught, served in public service for ten years, been on trek all over, spent the nights in my truck beacsue sometimes the car broke down in the middle of no where or in some cases there are no rest houses etc. I never saw Banjull until the age of 18, so i think i know the rural folks very well.
You cannot escape the new and old education system. To try not to even acknowledge it is to try to bury it under the carpet. It is everywhere. May be it is the analogy that those who refuse to see are more blind than the blind. The conclusion is that you can see but you have refused to see. I must then be right when i said above that you can take a horse to the river but you cannot force it to drink. |

A government is expected to serve the population. A population grows and it is the a government's responsibility to plan for this growth in ralation to services rendered.
The problem with yaya's government is that there is not time for management functions such are planning, supervising, cordinating, controlling etc. He will rather be attending wrestling contests in kanilai. This is the sad story about the man.
He will not be at these playful occations but will also expect his ministers to attend along side him. If all the figures expected to run the affairs of the nation are busy at wrestling contests, beach parties etc then what do you expect to happen to our state institutions. Everything will fall apart and yaya will try to find a scapegoat.
When yaya came to power he promised a lot to the people and the bottom line is he has failed in all his promises. Today the Gambia is worst than ever before. Its no excuse that more kids are going to school. The simple reason is that more kids are being born period. If more schools were not built then more kids would have been clustered a classroom.
Instead of bragging about more qualified teachers and a better reformed education policies he went on tele telling us how rich he.
Instead of familiarising himself with internation conventions and treaties to which we are a signatory, he will be wasting his time at gartherings pretending to be driving the devil out of people.
You will hate the system more when you are in the trafic being hounded by the police for their fish money. This is due to their pay condition and if you compound this with the sorry state of our galant civil servants then a chill runs through you spine. Worst of all is the constant maiming and killing of innocent people.
This is the reason why I hate this regime most and will never forgive it. No one have a right to take another's live. This is the responsibilty of THE ALMIGHTY ALLAH and not body else. This is why I regard the jammeh regime as a one step forward and a thousand back entity.
Whoever wants to defend this mad policy should put him/herself in the shoes of the relatives of the victims. |

halleh luyah. Praise the Lord. Infact taalibeh i was going to add his personal contribution for Hajj. Every year he takes 100 gambians for Hajj with tickets at US$2000.00 on average =
2000x27.9x100x12(years) =D8,928,000.00 which is equal to 27 years years of his salary. Where does he get his personal contributions from. This does not include pocket money. Many things dont add up. |

| If we cling to the last resort, he will regugitate it in the hereafter because we will not forgive him. Except one "yaye compene" in Banjul who has forgiven him for comfiscating her ticket in the last hajj for supporting the exoneration of Pa Sallah Jagne. |

Taalibeh you are very current. I heard it too. Tickets were being confiscated in Banjul for sympathisers of Mr Jeng. This man has suffered for no reason. Infact he will be answering to new charges this week. These are criminal charges. I hope he will not run to the US where he live for some time. It is too hot on the ground.
Mr Jeng did nothing. It was a shock for the APRC bereau to have a Mayor not from their party especially in the capital. They need to talk to Londoners.The labor party has thesame problem but atleast they are not locking him in jail. Democracy is about allowing divergent views to flourish. Dont stifle it.
I was shocked to read from one of the postings where Rawlings was saying africans are not trained to challenge their leaders. Rwalings murdered so many Ghanians, who is he to say we should develop courage to ask questions when he denied millions in his country for over 12 years. I wish i could walk to South Africa and attend the debate. I will tear them apart. Moi, Kaunda, Rawlings and the big time corrupt presidents. What an oportunity lost.
I am praying everyday to have this opportunity to talk to african presidents. |

Are you going to give him a stomach upthrust to vomit it out. You must be David to bring Goliath down. |

Rawlings confesed to that live on BBC News 24 on a Hard Talk program. He said he had to kill all those people to be able to bankroll his programmes of reform.
It is amazing that African leaders have to kill to be able to bring about development. Development for who then? I have no idea how many he slaughtered but it may not be as many as junkung anihilated |
