BREAKING NEWS: Neverrrrrrrr... Neverrrrrrrr... Neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr look desperate in life. Remain calm during hard times. Understand it's just your time to suffer like every great man before you. You're a man.
Whether you like or despise them, politicians like Halifa Sallah (with whom I disagree on some fundamental issues), Sidia Jatta and Lawyer Darboe are made from a different moral fabric.
For over 40 years, some of these men have been in politics, through all the disappointments, sacrifices and setbacks. Yet they remain resolute, firm in their convictions and largely unshaken in their principles. They have very little personal wealth to show for all those decades in politics. But that, in itself, tells you something about what politics means to them.
Unfortunately, when I look at much of today's crop of politicians, particularly those now entering the political arena, I see something very different. Politics seems to have become more about self, personal enrichment and what one stands to benefit from political alliances. Principles and convictions appear to matter less and less.
These are men who would rather die poor than abandon what they believe in. How many of today's politicians can genuinely say the same?
I really despair at what our politics is becoming. If everything is about personal benefit, political convenience and what one stands to gain, then what really is left of the values and principles that should underpin public service?
UDP supporters reportedly forced their way into the IEC premises, prompting police officers to flee the scene.
All for the love of Darboe.

Talib’s side chick saga, Idk what happened & ain’t interested, but if he cheated on his wife, I have no respect for him. Y’all saying “he’s a man” are foolish. He’s a MARRIED man. If he can’t honor his vows, why tf should I trust him with my vote? A man’s character matters to me.
Honest question for Gambians; How is it possible that Barrow can unite people with completely different views about his leadership but the opposition that shares the same goals of removing him can't come together?
Why do you think the opposition can’t unite under one coalition?

Hamat Bah stated that a UDP victory would result in the dismissal of all civil servants, who would be replaced by Gambians returning from the diaspora.
Gambia's central bank just ordered Access Bank, GTBank, FirstBank, Ecobank, and Zenith to sack their non-Gambian staff and replace them with locals by Dec 31, 2026.
If the #EU or the #US did this tomorrow, Pan-Africanist would call it xenophobia, imperialism.
But when it's Gambia doing it to its own
own African neighbours, some Gambians are cheering "sovereignty." But yet expect to be treated better elsewhere.
You can't demand the West treat African migrants with total openness while applauding your own government for chauvinism against fellow Africans.
Pick a principle and apply it consistently, or admit it was never about the principle.

African politicians like those in Gambia 🇬🇲 and several parts of Africa will spend billions on cars just to drive them on bad roads. Is that not stupidity?
❤️🩹Dolly Parton falleció y me parece que es momento para que quienes no lo sepan, se enteren de que fue quien escribió la famosa canción: “I Will Always Love You”, popularizada por la cantante Whitney Houston.
Esta es la versión original:
¿Qué piensan?👇
I once worked with a reporter from The New York Times who has kids almost my age. Naturally, I addressed her as “Ma.”
She kept correcting me and asking me not to, and we went back and forth about it until we finally agreed I’d call her by her first name.
Problem solved, right?
Wrong. 😂
I couldn’t stop ending every sentence with “Ma, okay ma, can we take the photos now ma” etc I just couldn’t. And I could see the admiration on her face whenever I addressed her that way.
In reference to the recent conversation around how we address people: Mr. Tony was not wrong for clarifying how he wanted to be addressed. The young lady, especially in a corporate environment, wasn’t necessarily wrong either.
But sometimes, it is good to apply wisdom and understand the context we find ourselves in especially as Gen Zs .
I hope she has the mental strength to carry on despite the backlash.
Humanity is all about how much kindness and grace we can extend to each other.
Pse.
