| Kondorong, the sad thing is u cant see me laughing, but am really laughing my head off. Gambian soldiers have two burial grounds; one is latrine graves, the other one is yet to be discovered and given a name. There is lot of fun in Bantaba. |

That seems to be their fate eventually. It is like what the Nigerians call YOU SABI BOOK. If you try to show you are smart, they create a position for you with a big title but end up doing nothing. You sit watching time going by an eventually resign on you own volition.
Smart soldiers in the gambia attract flies and Junkung is very hesitant to accept them. |

According to the freedom newspaper, Junkung's brother has just completed his aviation studies in the US. Susan ogoo led the government's delgation to the graduation ceremony. african leaders are real dictators, if leaders uphere behave in the same manner, they will loose their jobs very soon.
Togo's leader kind of inherited the throne from his bereaved dad. I dont know what junkungs future plans are, he must something in mind. |

| A government delegation to attend Junkung's brothers graduation at the expense of the tax payer? Well madiba, you have your job cut out for you. I have learnt never to come out in full support of Junkung beacuse you always get the shock of your life and you are embarassed sooner than later. |

| bamba and rah, I feel sad when I read your replies, i believe you. I think it is a sorry country that could not use this young man's training. To think he has spent time and money on training only to have it not appreciated by his native country. |

Very much possible. Jammeh hates excellence in any thing particular the field of military that makes him paranoid.
Good luck Mr Sanneh but please do not be carried away and be on your guard as well. |

Kondorong,
I don't know whether to say NDONKE OR KOTOKE, am somebody who like independence and freedom. Therefor e i don't see my self working in CORRUPT, BIAS, PUBLIC OFFICE.; I WOULD RATHER GO PRIVATE. THIS IS POSSIBLE WITH MY FUTURE PROFESSION. I AM GLAD THAT AM NEITHER TRAINED BY GAMBIA GOV'T SCHLOARSHIP, OR FOREIGN GOV'T SCHLARSHIP.
I strive in all respect to educate myself. I had A' levels during Jawara's days and never dreamt of a schcolarship, because i am a country boy. I have 'killed alot of ants' at the Ministry of Education looking for a scholarship after being sortlisted N times only to realised your place was given to somelse or offered an inferior place of study wit loads of uncertainty of graduating ever and on time.
Kondorong am for the benefit of Gambians and humanity at large. TRUTH, HONESTY AND HARDWORK ARE MY MONIKER! |

Well its good to hear your determination. There is nothing bad in having a scholarship. It does not mean you are lazy or will become enslaved to public office. What it is shows is your scholarly achievements if it is issued in a proper manner.
You are right. The dreaded Scholarship Board. I tried my luck and was not successful after the sixth form. I had very good credits. I tried at jobs but was not successful. I even tried as security job at BCC but was not called for interview. I had to start teaching at St Augustine's High.
The rest is now history. I had to work my way up on the ladder and was finally lucky to be sent on training through my employer after series of confrontations. I was a rebel in the house and we started a clandestine article in the Daily Observer and that was how some of us had been recognized. We were too trouble some for the employer. In fact going by the training plan that was set up in the office especially for country boys like me, I would have still been counting the electricity poles in Banjul. I tell you, even to attend word processing training at the Trade Ministry, one has to fight the authorities that kept pushing country boys down.
I don’t like to say this, but village boys have not been treated fairly and we must rise up and demand our share. Our fathers died in poverty and still paid their taxes or are threatened jails. Co-operative officers have come to villages seizing their ploughs and even chickens with police officers standing by. No due process was allowed. In their eyes they were all guilty. In fact I can safely say that majority had paid their loans but these were not properly recorded and being illiterate, could not proof them. In some villages whole families ran to the bush because of fear of police officers. Country people don’t like trouble. Some villages were already deserted before the collectors came. This happened during the days of PPP.
Until those poor people are considered part of the Gambia, we will never see peace. They have suffered for too long and the young generation has to fight to stay on top. When I picked up some senior position in Govt. I remember being asked about by last name whenever I was introduced as though only my connections to the elite was what mattered. No wonder some of us cannot survive. I rocked the very foundation of injustice in the Gambia and I am happy that I have no regrets in the decisions I made. Some are still being used as precedent to this day.
If i had the opportunity to travel on my own i would have done so. Then again i had no money to even get a passport. In fact even my A’ Level fees were paid by the Mrs. Jow then as Principal. I will forever be grateful to her. She made me what i am today. I was also and still proud to be a country boy. I spent my vacation in the village even though I had opportunities to travel abroad. Keep up the good work Madis and God be with you.
