Is that a poem dedicated to our board member 'mansa'?

Halifa Salah: PDOIS is however realistic. It is fully aware that the Gambian voters are yet to reach a level of political consciousness that they rely on to vote on the basis of Principles, policies and programmes and practices. |

"Alli Mansa manneh neh. Mansa minn maa tu mansoo lu yeh, atta tu la doobaa yeh...".
Thanks Karamba for such a great poem. It is both rich and reflective in traditional speech and wisdom...
Great! |

Kaanibaa,
Tonya kumo mu kaano leh ti. Iya beh leh fo. " Mansa ning juburulang teh kilingyaala."
Nying kumo long tonyaa ti. Boro si meh nya wo nya, fo mol si lo. Nying kuwo teh tu nola wo nyaa. Wuli waato beh mol dang na. Nying kewo teh hackilo soto la. Fang neneh mansa.
Kay, mo teh nying mansa maa neneh la. Ning mansa mang silo muta, mol kaa bussa leh. Wato siita leh. Thanks for adding spice. There is a variance in terms of impact when information is relayed in other modes and medium.
Santanfara, mansa jamaa leh jamano tambi ta. Wol mang nying duniya bang. Nying fang tolo mansa fanang teh duniya sambala dula to.
This universe has been settled for long and no individual has the power to unsettle the world without repercursions on that person. Where is Hitler, Zulkalnayn, Idi Amin, Emperor Bokassa, Musa Molloh, Burr Seein, Baddibu Mansa, King Pharoa, Wulli Mansa, Fulladu Mansa? Is that not enough to teach anyone accept that no one leader will end this world.
Turk, this is not about Mansa Sulu, our good member. This is about greedy kings like King Midas of Turkey. They can never end this world. One day in life, they repent having acquired illicit wealth at the expenses of good people.
They want everything for themselves and nothing for others except tormentation. Those are the type of kings "Mansa" who invite(d) all the dust and spit on their thick skin.
Injustice whether legal or social, does not pay.

I hope you refer 'Turkey' as geography. Midas has nothing to do with the Turkey we know today.

I got "the Mida's touch
everything I touch turns to gold
turns to gold
yes darling...". The Midnight Star.
I think King Mida's is an ancient Greek mythology anyway... |

Turk,
Yes, I referred to both geographical and historical Turkey where Ankara still stands as the Capital.
May be, just may be, this link will help:
http://www.turkeytravelplanner.com/details/History/KingMidas.html
Or what? Are you denying that the famous King Midas and his Golden Touch got no bearing with Turkey and Ankara of the European Union?
Still needing overwhelming evidence, search on. |

Historical to turkey? Karamba, you need a lots of reading to do. Midas has nothing to do with Turkey historically. Turk's cultural and political presense in Anatolia started about 1000 years ago. Midas is prior to that. As Kayjatta pointed, it is related to ancient history of anatolia which has the history I been studying since the Grade 1. Not like you, make a google search and send me the first link in the search results. I am denying Midas and Turkey has no bearing other than geography as I mention on my previous post.

Turk,
Turkey and Midas, no material bearing OK. Matter of fact, human awareness was arouse long ago, about greedy people. Those who wish(ed) to possess the whole universe. Even to wish anything they touch(ed) turned into gold.
The rationale for bringing in King Midas is not about Turkey. It is about GREEDY PEOPLE and how they brought hardship on themselves and people around them. This was particularly referring to Yaya Jammeh of Gambia (1994-2010.) Whether he achieves it or, all indicators are that what is narrated about King Midas, those same signs are manifested by Yaya Jammeh. Just in case you missed out, that is the rationale.
Now, you can take King Midas out of Turkey and dump him anywhere in the wide world but near Gambia.
You are right, I have no knowledge of history, but not bothered either. All I will not do is watch any man distort history according to his story. |

I did not miss out anything. I am aware of what you are saying. All I did was to make a specific correction/clarification on your error about your historical statement. |

Turk,
It is OK if you choose to bury your head in the hot sand of error. Whatever way and however you wish to settle any score, there is only one issue; HUMAN GREED. The linked source is not of mine. Take it or leave it.
A certain King Midas was said to be so greedy he craved for a golden touch. That was then in Turkey (even by story telling account). Now on Gambian soil too, another very greedy person Yaya Jammeh germinated and growing with force and air pressure (1994-2010).
Humanity is largely plagued with such breed of greedy people needing extinction. My task at hand is to rid Gammbia off our menace. Even without knowledge, I stand my grounds with determination. You carry on trading with knowledge of deception.
Midas or Yaya, damn human greed! |

The Golden touch of King Midas is Drug Touch for Yaya Jammeh in Gambia. It appears that the hands of Jammeh's closest associates remain in dirty pools of drug jugs.
Will anyone not think that the money magic of Yaya Jammeh was all drug dealing? |

I am sure that the meaning and flow would be lost in translation into other languages,so I won't expect one, it wasn't meant for toubabs eyes anyway.
