I think it's time to reflect on the creation of NADD and it's purpose. It's a known fact that it was created to serve as an outlet for Gambia's numerous political uncertainties and problems , the only problem I see with the future of the party is that since Gambia's uncertainties and problems became clear, the party seems to have lost its way. They have no idea what to do next I might say. You can sit there and try to be in denial but trust me they lack direction and the ability to motivate the citizenry. Much like most opposition parties in the subregion set up for a purpose, NADD was gestated with only the purpose of opposing in mind. None of the major opposition parties have any real plans to tackle the country's issues should they obtain power and that is obvious my friends.
In my opinion,and thats just mine, their manifestos extend only as far as opposing the majority of the policies the ruling party currently has in place and thats about it. The current regime seems to be tackling the Gambian Problem from the grass root levels and this can be substantiated from the many projects being implemented daily .
PDOIS, much like UDP it seems are compromising their values by forming a union, lets be realistic my friends both parties seem to have different goals and aspiration the only thing they have in common is trying to dislodge the APRC, apart from that I have a strong feeling that both parties are built on different foundations,hopefully the Reunion will give birth to a new foundation of multi-ethnic politics which seem to be lacking in some quarters.
Let's not get confused dawgs, I believe it's long been overdue that we do something about communal politics in Gambia. However, I donot believe it is right to expect the lame duck opposition to get started on this. The fact is there is not a single strong leader among the UDP party or NADD as of present, who can build a solid platform with strong principles. All the current parties have skeletons in their closets as well, and I would reiterate that if NADD was designed to rescue Gambia , and that was all it was ever meant to be, the problem nowadays is that the country does not need rescuing anymore .It's in line with it's development aspirations and goals.
The problem is most of ya'll are willing to hastily jump from the frying pan into the fire either not knowing that it could also be undesirable or just a quick fix to the Gambian Problem . Let's not be rash guys voting for a party without a plan is just as bad if you ask me, if not worse, than voting for a party consisting of politicians who plan to mislead and god knows what else, I think it's time for the voters to evolve into people that will actually consider parties that actually have a plan once in a while.I see the opposition as petty people with no agenda and nothing better to do than criticize, and I mean baseless criticism. The task is for them to lay out a clear road map for where they will lead this country if (and hopefully when) they take power.The fact of the matter is that they cannot expect to be the opposition forever,and for as long as that is all they expect of themselves, that is all the voters will ever expect of them and it will give them another chance to scream "The problem was Voter Apathy"...yeah right when they see no direction they rather sit in their houses and watch "PRETA" afterall it seems to be getting better daily..............................................................Peace

Thanks, Moe
Our problem is beyond removing or replacing the present government, it is unrealistic and superstitious to think; “get reed of the government and all will be fixed”.
I have been asking Mr. Politician for an alternative budget proposal for some time now, am still waiting. Since that is the only way, I think, to concretizes political ideology,and putting it in perspective for us ordinary people to understand,

Janko.
What you have written really does make sense,it would appear that such proposals that you envisage are not available,therefore it follows that there is no cretable alternative,it appears that as usual its all about power and money,together with a good dose of personal enhancement.

Let me reassure you Janko ,all you have to do is look around you and this is no joke ,When a party lacks the very essence of Being ,they resort to unconventional methods ,just the mere fact that UDP cannot seem to find any other members except Santafara ,who at first never pledged alllegiance yet all of a sudden is a UDP member makes me say Hmmmm ,then you have the other imposter Karamba ,we all know the NIUMINKA is a UDP rep.. All am saying is the Party lacks direction and is willing to do anything ands that includes utilizing half baked villagers to fill the Gap of the propaganda. Just like the Marty's of any sect ,The best method is to utilize people with a very weak foundation, poverty stricken,or people who want to be a part of something but lack the necessary qualifications. I say exactly what I observe, After I authored the Dilemma of the Opposition ,I hope the reaction and Flying objects reminded you of "DOMA YOU JAFFURR" Karamba and Santafara are both foaming in their mouths just listen to the rhetoric. When I see a Front I never miss my target, Gambians from all walks of life are very aware of this short fall from the UDP and the very reason they lack the audience they yearn for. It's funny that all UDP rally's target uninformed citizens and the uneducated masses since they are the only one's that can be victims of mass propaganda..............................................................Peace ...................................................Peace quote:

| Moe, the political dilemma you illustrate is bigger than one party, or one person, or one group, it is the fabric of the political perception. To develop an overall encompassing political atmosphere would take time but it is the optimal solution if we want to avoid as you said, jumping from the frying pan into hell. We have a hard and long walk ahead and the sooner we embark on it the better |

| Janko,I applaud you,I dislike politics as is well known here ,your take on the problems is accurate,MOE in the last posting he wrote has modified his usual, "I know who you are and who you represent" ,attacking position and appears to be talking sense,am I wrong or is there a feeling of real discussion taking place on bantaba.? Its a pity that others feel they cannot partipate here as well. |

Definitely Moe you have exposed your valid points. Althoug I tend to dis-aggree with most of your comments against NADD. NADD crumbled under the hands of the opposition parties. NADD's MOU was a masterpiece but nothing achieved as expected 2006 Presidential & General elections & up-to-date; due to MANY "DILEMMA"
However ALL OPPOSITION PARTIES, MEMBERS & MILITANTS SHOULD PUT THEIR HOUSE IN ORDER

I have my reservations against NADD, it could have been a master piece ,and everything you mentioned but the reality is that, it is far from that. The selfishness of the leaders basically protrude their individual agendas to control the Outcome, they came in with an agenda and left when it failed.............................................Peace
