WAS PRESIDENT JAMMEH HIGH?

I'd prayed for the gods to give me the strength to resist blogging about President Jammeh's Golden Jubilee embarrassment but apparently didn't pray enough. So as an addict with a problem of beating dead horses, here I am, checking myself in for therapy.

Fanaticism recently has been synonymous to religious hooligans forgetting that the worst and most overlooked fanatics are the political liars and incessant delusionists and illusionists. ALL these gangs admitted Yaya Jammeh as an agent.

Yaya will not only run the Gambia down the drains economically, all indicators are lit, that the man is a mentally unfit, serial criminal who's a signature away from mass murder through starvation. His uncalculated, untested economic and development policies, fiscal rudeness and obsession with the 2015 Visions and Operations, are deadly weapons that we must not ignore or dismiss as 'impracticable' pronouncements. The man is a psycho on steroids, free-falling the economy and country to their painful death. And he's got no pads on his brakes to stop.

Listening to Jammeh address the world in dark sunglasses, callous but deflated demeanor, the president didn't just give an uninspiring, unfitting political speech with colorful promises of Utopia, he'd dishonored the Gambia and her people with a disrespectful rudimentary speech by an executive who many believe was under the influence of controlled substances. There was no conviction in his speech nor any consideration for the many Gambians who thought time is beyond ripe for Jammeh and his administration to cease and desist running the Gambia like a Wrestling Federation. Who was he fooling? It was reckless and childish.

'I call on all of you once again to come and join us in our glorious journey to the economic, social super power status by 2015. We also invite genuine partnership with all countries of the world in our journey towards the promise land. The promise land shall be, that the Gambia will be Economic and Social Super Power nation in the near future. Others have dominated for the long time. It's Gambia's turn to join the likes of Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, USA. Why not? We are a small country with natural resources. We can do it. Today, Qatar is cited as the richest country in earth. By 2015 they'll look up to the Gambia as the richest country on earth'. - Jammeh

Cocaine Is A Hell Of A Drug, they say. But what's equally sad was, the whole stadium applauded this foolishness.

At a time that the cost of living in the country is beyond affordable, skyrocketed level of unemployment, poor healthcare system that sees Gambians die of curable diseases, hopelessness that forces the youth risk it all and die in the deserts or at sea to better their families, Yaya stood at the podium to confirm to Gambians that he has no vision for the country, no ability to change the course of things and does not care. Clearly, he should be institutionalised.

There is a constitutional provision, to have the president removed from office should he be deemed incapable of executing the duties of his office, due to:
-infirmly of body and mind,
-willful violation of any provision of the constitution,
-dishonestly act in any way inimical to the economy.

Yaya Jammeh did tick ALL boxes, and in an ideal democratic dispensation, the National Assembly would have initiated the impeachment process. Unfortunately, the rubber stamped legislature are the enabling force of this elongated insanity. Since that is farfetched, it becomes unquestionably legitimate for Gambians to boot this regime out by any means necessary including coup d'etat or violent popular uprising. Considering how defiant he was on independence day where no proper homage or gratitude was given to the selfless founding fathers of our nation, how he made no efforts to be conciliatory by leaving out major stakeholders like the country's recognized political party leaders to the occasion but instead opted for some Nigerian Comedians, shows the degree of contempt Jammeh has for Gambia and her future.

Yaya's forceful removal and the Gambia's underdevelopment are mutually inclusive. Oh boy! How that ambush that never was, got away!

But what do I know?!

PEACE To The Planet!
