Teddy says...Tribute to Ousainou Darboe

Suntou

Teddy Roosevelt:At Sobonne,

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and the sweat and blood; who strives valiantly, who errs and come up short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

We are proud of you Darboe for standing up when nickles ruled the day, when the sprinkle of dust crave relevance, when hardly popular figures wish to emerged. You rise up, taking the mantle, not fearing even though it was your first involvement in direct politics. Your personal fortune overlap over D8million, your calibre in your field were few, all major contracts fell at your feet, you decline a prestigious job with the U.N, all in the quest of biting the bullet. Let macabre fools glee at their own impotence. However, you knew Ousainou that, it will evaporate because dictators aim to impoverish the people 'Aristotule says'.

You were arrested, persecuted and tried. You remain the calmer of the scared, the figure to be trusted when some wish war and blood. fight on comrade, this struggle is not a fashion contest, not an oratory melodrama, it is a simple dictatorship.... a kind prevalent all over our continent. You have made the calls, the approach for togetherness, hold your head high, we are with you...who can be more inclusive than you? Only chicken heads will blame you for the acts of a dictator's crimes. But then, clowns come in all shapes and sizes. Tribute to Lawyer Ousainou Darboe

The Paradox of the Dictator's Children

The Boy who wants to belong and be Cool
Spuro’s helplessness stinker all the neighbourhood. Wandering aimlessly, glancing from left to right unperturbed by the loud horns. He wishes to find a saviour, a perfect superman.

Spuro is a weak guy himself, however he apportioned his cake neatly amongst his cousins and near friends.. Everybody he came across feels just like him—impotent, but mischievous.
Whenever he eats to his full, the first thought to square in his skull is shout. That has been around his vicinity since childhood. The common currency is screaming and slapping one’s chest in happy and sad times... getting noticed is all that matters.
But for Spuro, he doesn’t think by himself. The imaginary love seeking spurns him to say daft things. The coy on lovers would giggle, hoping that, the enemies don’t caught them and conning Spuro doesn’t get it either.
Every now and then, he would scream his lungs out customarily fire balling the audience... Micheal Bubele is Maad. Passersby would say, yeah right, you need your behind checking. However, since Spuro is courting the neo-twins, in which case no one have to tell the other what to think of the others. The others are just anyone who is not the twins’ period. They will cover their mouth and mutter, well done Spuro.
Then a few weeks will pass, Spuro will tug into wet maize meal, with clumsy okra soup. The delicacy has always reawakened his faculties to unreasonableness. After drowning a few glass of juice, his taught will wander to attracting the attention of the difficult audience, the neo-twins.
Spuro would scream, Bamba Dala is a woman!!!. On lookers will surprisingly shake their heads, feeling disturb by the foolish noise. But Spuro’s main aim is to again attract the attention of the Twins, yet no public endorsement. Sad and dejected, he will retreat back into his shell, curiously hoping, the neo-twins will tap him on the shoulder and say, ‘buddy, thanks, that was brilliant’. But it never happens.
Spuro’s slave mentality regularly lands him in contradicting quagmire, who likes me here he will quietly murmur? “Am i stupid or what?”’ Go away a voice would say.’ Then Spuro gets offended. He will desperately repeat his claim, Bamba Dala is a lady!! Sam Jeeti is the man, yeah.
Then a quiet voice retort, “Which Sam Jeeti?” He said, “he is the bravest tall fellow I have ever seen.” The quiet voice asked curiously, “Why he is brave?” I can’t say, I just think so.
Then shut up and go find out why you think he’s brave because the hyena is still hunting down the road Sam Jeeti lives. In fact, Sam Jeeti enjoys the castle of the Hyena, he is no different from anyone. Stop making a fool out of yourself, you’re not even funny.
Tell you what, all brave men of Fan-Tunbung are dead, therefore die and be brave you fagot.
Spuro became surprise that, no neo-twins or their wannabe stood up for him. Why is that the case he sighed?
He sat in front of his broken mirror, in deep thought, something alien to him. Thinking, why is it so hard to please the twins? I like saying all the bad and foul things for them but no response. I know they like it deep down, how can I join the club?
I better start thinking about that instead of getting fired at needlessly.
Spuro then did something he never wishes to do, asked himself a question.
Will I go home and be a brave lion boy for any reason? He is still thinking for a miracle answer.
Life goes on. The paradox of the dictator’s children.

SEDIA AND HALIFA WITH BUBA BALDEH ON SWEDISH TV ABOUT AFPRC

An interesting clip. The PDOIS duo seems to be having soft spot for the Junta members going by the speech,

They may reject joining the military government but the coup wasn't bad at all from the words they uttered.
Below is the Video transcript:
Sedia Jatta’s views During a Swedish TV interview of the Military Rule 1994-1996
“the outside world should take note of what is happening here internally. All that they can do is secondary to what we can do. Even if they have millions and billions of Dollars, as long as the conditions are not propitious to change, Dollars cannot this place. As long as we are working to bring about the necessary change in spite of the difficulties to bring about the necessary change, the outside world should take note of that.
Of course the (Junta) may have limitations of how to manage society, but they will not deliberately destroy this society, because they are part and parcel of this society. So from that point of view, one can deal with them, one can communicate with them, until such time that they see reason of transferring this set up to a more acceptable set up, which is a democratic government.
Halifa Sallah Voice to the Swedish TV crew during the Military Rule of Yahya Jammeh
“If any ambassador had been following events properly, unlike many countries, here people have been vocal, they didn’t just accept things as they are, people have been challenging the situation to a point where they have establish a relationship of respect with the government which exist, and that is the most you can expect from a government. And where there exist such respect, it can be converted into something else, into the basis for national dialogue to solve the problem.
The voter registration is full of fraud. Places like Serrekunda which has over 200,000 people has no street names and proper addresses, which mean a voter, can register in any place. Since it will be difficult to have proper elections, therefore it is essential to constitute an electoral commission which will look into electoral fraud and in shaping a good electoral system. Now is that one suggestion...”


The fears within the journalistic community is that, the boys will leave a better legacy if they go back to the Barracks, but hanging unto to power and transforming themselves will make them know power has its draw backs.
