Humility has a way of slapping the Arrogant on the face lol. All of a sudden reality has caught-up with the mad-dictator and he is scared of the fate he put many families through. He once called the country’s notorious prison (Mile 2) his Five (5) Star Hotel, with a stinky-smile on his face but he is now willing to march his gang of criminals to Annihilation just to avoid the Five-Star hotel we'll be happy to make his home.
Obviously, the only reason he is pushing this madness is because he had the opportunity to reflect on his presidency and he himself isn’t impressed with his performance, so like the typical dictator he is, he is willing to hold the nation at ransom until he cut his sweet deal. Not so fast, Mr. Ex-Dictator.
The funniest of it all, Jammeh might actually end-up getting some leeway and the very people who are currently doing his bidding will be EIGHTY-SIXED at the end. Unfortunately they are too dumb and Pussied (Not English Word) that they do NOT see what is about to happen to them.
Hello Soldier boy! Jammeh is trying to cut a deal to protect himself and his family and preserve his wealth. What are you going to do when the law comes after you? Did you take time to think about that?
- Jammeh has a multimillion dollar mansion in the US for his family, where is your foreign mansion?
- Jammeh’s Wife is in the US far away from any danger, where is your wife?
- Jammeh’s Kids are in the US far away from any danger, where are your kids?
- Jammeh has millions stash in banks all over the world for his family, how much is in your account?
So which is it now? Do you want to be a Soldier or a Rebel? What did you sign-up for? Which side are you on; Republic of The Gambia or Republic of Yahya Jammeh? Are you going to defend the State and obey the new Commander-in-Chief (Adama Barrow) or do you want to face ECOWAS/AU/UN/Senegal Military Force on the battle-field?
Soldier Boy! We don’t want to hear YOU'RE JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS. Pick a side now and save your job. We’re running out of fucking patience.
As we speak, Jammeh is preparing for his unknown future and the future of his family. It is clear that he is NOT leaving anything to chance and he’ll do everything to ensure he and his progeny live a comfortable life after his presidency.
What that means for the Gambian People?
With the level of greed Jammeh has delineated throughout his presidency and the personalization of national resources, it is safe to assume that if he haven’t already he is in the process of draining our national coffers for himself and his family. With this in mind I would like to send a powerful message to our government institutions as well as privates entities who have aided and abided Jammeh in his criminal endeavors for the past twenty years. Listen to me carefully. This might be your last opportunity to redeem your sins.
CEOs & MDs of Government Parastatals & The Central Bank:
DO NOT authorize any transfer of money to Jammeh or his surrogates or destroy any traces of such evidence. There is NOTHING Jammeh can do to you that can hurt you at this point, it is very important to know that the balance of power is in your favor. Being fired by Jammeh right now could actually end-up being a blessing for you. I can assure you, Jammeh would NOT fire anybody at this point, he is more worried about what lies ahead for him. If you get any such request I urge you to take the following steps as soon as possible:
- Report the matter to the Coalition-Rapid-Response Unit immediately.
- Notify the American Embassy immediately.
- Notify the UN Resident Representative immediately.
- Notify the IGP of Police immediately.
You'll be in safe hands and national hero. For once, stand-up for your country. Be rest assured, Halifa Sallah as V.President (unconfirmed) will dig into every evidence of financial malpractices. This applies to employees as well, if you see any such evidence report as fast as possible.
IGP/Head of Police:
IGP of police if you’re reading this. I want you to listen carefully. Shake-off the slave-mentality as fast as possible. If you’re NOT aware already, you’re more POWERFUL than Jammeh from now on. Jammeh has scared the shit-out-off the security forces but his power has vanished, do not fear anymore. Jammeh is NOT in the business of locking-up people anymore. Please stand tall and grow some balls. The steps you take now will determine whether you keep your job or NOT. I advise you to take the following step as soon as possible if you haven’t already:
- Setup a Rapid Response Unit to Investigate and Protect National Resources.
- Get all your department behind you and ensure they’re responsive to any such complaints.
- Protect all individuals who might be at risk for what they know or control.
Again, I remind you, you’re the head of law enforcement in the country. At this point, Jammeh should be the least person you should fear especially you're getting a new boss next month.
Coalition/New Government:
Confidence is everything and you've failed woefully in this area. Be vocal. You have to start drowning Jammeh’s voice now to give people confidence to stand-up to any illegal request from Jammeh and his enablers. You’ve been very weak in these areas, a strong voice from you will enable the Security forces and Government employees to start changing their mentality. What are you scared off? Quit being petrified, goddamn, you’re the leaders of our country. Don’t let Jammeh control the narratives.
Beef up the COALITION RAPID RESPONSE UNIT fast, get some strong legal minds on-board. Enough with the celebration, leave that to the citizens. Get to work NOW.
Also a day after elections I POSTED on Facebook the need for Adama Barrow to address the NATION as soon as possible, it’s been 4 days what are you waiting for, sir? If NOT anything, you owe a THANK-YOU to the voters and REASSURE the country of your readiness to lead. This is STANDARD, a winner in any elections addresses the electorates/nation within 24 hrs.
Four (4) days after victory you’re flirting with everybody but the Gambian people. We appreciate your interviews with INTERNATIONAL-MEDIAS but where were they when we were going through Jammeh's nightmare? We do not need a celebrity we need a president and enough with the SELFIES with your family too, we don’t care about that either lol. You need to come to speed fast, Mr. Barrow.
Security Forces:
If you’re still in the business of arresting people or carrying out Jammeh’s illegal orders then you’re nothing but a dumb-ass. Come next month he’ll be gone and you’ll face the wrath of your own actions, for the past two decades Jammeh has selfishly used and maltreated you, at this point, you should be worried about you and your family’s future than doing Jammeh’s bidding. OPEN YOUR EYES.
WARNING! If any soldier is thinking about causing mischief, you’re probably the stupidest persons ever. Coup d'etat is over in The Gambia, you had your opportunity to get rid of a dictator, and you did not. Just know one thing, you won’t last a week even if you succeed in your foolish adventure; ECOWAS, AU, Senegal, US and Patriotic Soldiers and Civilians will make sure you spend the rest of your miserable life in a shit-hole. This is a different Gambia, get the memo.
With a month left before you assume the presidency I believe you’ve started building/identifying your executive team, if you haven’t, you’re better off starting now, you don’t have much time. The success or failure of your presidency will very much depend on the people you choose to surround yourself with.
If you’re like President Jammeh you’ll choose TRIBALISM and PRAISE-SINGERS, if you are like President Jawara you’ll choose NEPOTISM and LAZINESS, both are bad choices. What you need is an Administration made up of POLICY-WONKS and TECHNOCRATS instead of BUREAUCRATS and TRUTH-BIAS.
Look for competent professionals with the proper knowledge and track record of success in their fields. I strongly urge you to consider professional in the WEST who have passed through the competitive corporate job-market.
And please can you hire people who can speak ENGLISH, am so tired of listening/watching folks on TV who can’t express themselves in basic English yet they're suppose to head important departments. I love our local languages but ENGLISH is our official language.
I understand every campaign will reward some loyalist for their hardwork, fine, but it is very important to understand that this battle was never about personal interest but national interest. For that reason, you must be willing to take hard stance and be willing to say "NO".
Good luck Mr. President.
Tomorrow, I’ll address a topics very dear to me. Good night!
In memory and spirit of Deyda Hydara’s “Good Morning, Mr. President”, an editorial geared towards holding our LEADERS accountable. Beginning this evening I’ll start my own edition of “Good Evening, Mr. President”.
In about a month Adama Barrow is going to take the helm of power. Good luck, Mr. President elect. I wish you all the best BUT you ain’t gonna get a free pass from Intellectual Bug. I’ll be watching you and your administration closely as it begins to take shape.
We fought too hard to end Jammeh’s dictatorship and you damn right we ain’t gonna let anyone fuck-it-up again. I’ll tap-you-in-the-back when you do RIGHT but I’ll be a pain-in-the-ass if you try anything FUNNY.
If you’re close to Adama Barrow, tell him to keep a close eye on this edition on my blog (jollofnerds.com). Unlike many already canvassing for positions in the new government, I DO NOT need anything from you sir but to be a good leader for my country of birth. No position in your government can pay my “six figures” Corporate-America salary, just keeping it real. So my interest is Gambia and Gambia only. Period.
Off-course, it won’t all hard-talk, there will be some element of comics and fun but will always keep it 100%.
I wish you all the best Mr. President elect.
Today is the GREATEST day of my life, am sure many of you feel the same. We have just witness one of the most consequential events in the history of our country and The Gambia shall never be the same again.
Today is a day of CELEBRATION and UNITY. There is no “I” today, there is only The Gambia, we all have won. We shall regroup, reorganize and rebuild our nation.
For all those who went out to cast their votes, I say “Thank you”, you have made our democracy better.
Campaign is OVER, get out of that mood fast and refocus to what’s ahead. No bullying, no insults and no fighting.
Jammeh has shown maturity so far by admitting DEFEAT, now he must handover and transition PEACEFULLY.
To the DIASPORA. My people, YOU ROCK. I have never seen people so vested in their Nation like diaspora Gambians. You have NOT voted but you’re the catalyst for all this. We shall be in the HISTORY book. You deserve a full day of REST, go get a MASSAGE, send me the bill lol
ADAMA BARROW, there was just something about this guy. He just makes you believe in something you cannot even explain. He has the calm and temperament to lead us. I have 100% confidence in him. Darboe, will be proud of you today.
MAMMA KANDEH, if the diaspora was the fuel behind the win, Mamma Kandeh was the ultimate catalyst to Jammeh’s defeat. He promise to go after Jammeh’s base and he delivered. This WIN is as much as a results of him as the COALITION. So “THANK YOU” Mamma Kandeh and the whole GDC TEAM, lift your head up high. YOU ROCK.
Finally, remember this word, RECONCILIATION. We are one people, the diaspora must lead from afar. We must show maturity by controlling the narratives towards PEACE and UNITY.
I have never been PROUDER as a Gambian. I Love You, Guys!!!
