Our beloved motherland The Gambia in the 21st century has been engulfed in both political and religious debacles since she got divorced from two decades of repression.
A tiny enclave geographically defined as a finger strip into the vast Atlantic ocean with a population of less 2.5 million: has been shrinking under the heels of massive embezzlement of public funds: sky rocketing prizes on consumer goods: catapulted by inflation: mal-functional Governance policies coupled with Rural urban drift since Independence in the name of Democracy?
Men in the history of creation have always been vulnerable to greed and deception due to the influence of Satan! Apparently in most circumstances when leaders are elected into power especially African leaders of which The Gambia is not in isolation act as demos over their Electorates? Democracy has never been Eastern: West: North or South but rather evolution of human experience in struggle: to order and safeguard their right in a manner that ensures the advantage of the society in moral cohesion?
In any Democratic dispensation power lies in the helm of the masses! In as much as the masses are not engaged in decision making about their political or religious obligations: then one wonders how democracy entails within such an atmosphere? Enema: Numule:Lamyagedu: Esmang: If thou have been opportune with either position: power: Wealth: Health or whatever form of opportunity then thou must be aware as it’s a test of how to get liberated from that situation?
Perhaps if otherwise could lead oneself into a catastrophe: Disheartenly: our nation blessed with relative peace have been recently engulfed in to political debackle as mighty 3yrs Jotna is momentarily accumulating monsoon clouds of hurricane over kartong from Atlantic coast with unrelenting velocity to koina across semi-arid land scape The Gambia. National Concession is roaring for peace as an alternative? Catching the bull by its horn:
The Gambia masses went into the polls on the basis of coalition 2016 MOU: despite our toothache referee is yet unable to level the political playing Field. Understandably fresh muscles are warm up session to par take into the political soccer come 2021: when the masses shall quantitatively as well qualitatively choose an inspirational Leader expectantly to deliver us from abject poverty and disease! Peace is precious and also it is the cornerstone of divine creation!
Therefore our leadership must have to be held accountable engaging the masses towards National concession as it is never too late? We are a Nation whose cream of the population the youths rely on back way syndrome: which recently has led to 63 people perished at Nuadibi on the Atlantic coast of Mauritania. Heavy headedly dwelling on our religion debacle.
Islamic although being a religion of super natural redemption but also a religion of moon in the mirror have always been at constant threat: – due to hysteria of hypocrisy: greed: inequality: intolerance and ignoranc! Protracted road map in order to amicably resolve such a delicate issue is not only a matter of agency but a necessity.

DAWN OF A NEW ERA Over! For the survival of mankind? Democracy! The drawn of a new era is glittering Over the vast Atlantic Splashing The shores of Banjul With TRRC Wave of truth Tolerance under pinned Eagerly being awaited By the masses Whose democratic values Mandated through Ballot Had been threatened at sea By a shark? Democracy! In transitional justice Anchored with The ethnic of Duahjaoh Mother Africas Astrological buried Riches of discovery The natural heritage of An ancient Islamic Legend Vindicating human salvation For vanity to rule Unveiled by immortal B The lonely poet of an ascending sun Democracy! The dawn of a new national at birth visionary birth attendant ECOWAS Fathered by the UN Mothered by the AU Technocrats In lullaby of stewardship Pursuance of checks and balance Steak no bill Leave no stone unturned As The bottle necks derails Its sustenance ashore Remember Never again!
