THE ARTICLE BELOW IS CULLED FROM THE POINT NEWSPAPER AND I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE OF INTEREST IN THE BANTABA.
23-year-old Gambian Improvises Radio Station
Monday 24th April 2006
By Pa Modou B.O. Bojang
Lamin Janneh, a 23-year-old Gambian, has improvised a radio station, through his creative talents, that can be tuned and heard in four nearby towns in Kombo North.
The station, established in Sinchu Alagi in Kombo North, can be tuned on 99.7MHz or 108kHz and it covers Tabakoto, Wellingara, Sinchu Alagi and Sinchu Suri in Kombo North.
Speaking to this reporter last Thursday, the 23-year-old inventor said he constructed the radio station in February this year and it has coverage of up to 3km within Kombo North.
He said, through his creative talent, he has previously invented a radio, a telephone, a microphone and some other items that are still functioning.
He added that the telephone is being used at his alma mater, Nusrat High School, in Bundungkakunda.
The promising young Gambian said, if supported to enhance his skills, he could invent a lot of other appliances and electronic substances of high quality that would be wonders not only in The Gambia, but also in the whole world.
Lamin is therefore appealing to the public, the private sector, and public institutions like GRTS and Gamcel for support in order to develop his talents.
He is also appealing to the President, H.E. Yahya Jammeh, to support him so that he install another radio station in Kanilai, which he said could serve the entire Foni.

This man should not be left counting the poles on the streets. He should be given scholarship to study and develop Gambia so that we can reduce the number of consultants in the Gambia. Perhaps he can help us with NAWEC or Gamtel.
OOps, i hope Njuks has not heard me. |

no kondorong ,
scholarships should be displayed in public and when he applies he will be graded like everyone else. again i look forward to your admin!
there was a science club at GHS and every year many young students would make (not invent) a radio or telephone. mostly it was the boys with the technical education coming from St Peters in Lamin. Gamtel used to sponsor them for the rest of their studies. there was one in my class who made a telephone. |

May be someone needs to tell him this. He should not be trying to "build" a radio station for kanilai. He should pusue advance education which will benefit all of us and make him a proud citizen.
Njuks stop that. I have no political ambition. I think i am too easily frustrated with the bereaucracy of inaction. You sometimes remind me of the Information minister of Saddam when he was saying that we will bury them alive when infact he could see American Tanks right from his window(laugh). Even Goerge BUsh commemended him for what he bellieved in and being very hopeful even to a point where it was evident that the cause was lost. You will make a good mix in a government to restore hope where it has eluded many. |

Here is a line from the poem---elegy in country church yard:" full many a flower bloss unseen and waste its sweetness in the desert air". Literally, it simply means that there are extraordinary talents in the remote and oppressed areas of the world that will never surface, never see the light, never serve humanity.
Human greed controlls knowledge with expensive patents; racism controls knowledge with expensive patents; capitalism controls knowledege with far more expensive patents.
There is a racial monopoly over knowledge for the sustenance of superiority. No human race is endowed with talents above other races.
Many extraordinary brains, talents, in black Africa will be blown by wrong governances to the hot and arid Sahara desert, where they will converge and melt under the abominable heat of the desert. |

Not to forget the national monopolies, but this is almost the same in most cases. A very ridiculous example: When Brazilian and French archaeologists discovered and proved that South America had been populated long before North America by people from the Pacific islands, US scientists did everything to discredit this theory. They couldn't stand the idea that their territory was not the first to be populated, as well as the fact that their own theory, which said that America's early 'immigrants' went from Siberia to Alaska and from there down south, was disproved.
By the way: As research on the Mayan culture was dominated by US or other white scientists for long decades, young Mayans from Mexico and Guatemala now are successfully 'reconquering' the research on their own cultural roots!
The routes the Indians took to reach America 30.000-40.000 years ago may be of no relevance for us today, but this example shows that progress can be improved by (national) competition, but is more likely to be hindered as long as chances are not fair. |
