It is risible and disheartening facing the daily realities of the absence of political hygiene, dysfunctional institutions, state oppression and prejudice, led by the mass morally and academically bankrupt fellow state officials of The Gambia government, making our societies and country so toxic and stagnated thus leading societal collapse and unstoppable uprising and political revolution.
Our progress as a nation moves at a sail pace for poseurs continue to mislead us in the name of expert opinion, national security, bureaucratic processes that yield no results, whilst many offers their blind acceptance of ardent corrupt officials, who are held bent to sinking this country beyond repair intervention.
Nuanced examination proves Gambia as a ‘forgetting nation’ negating facts to acknowledge a system built on the barring of youths, a flagrant system who sees our importance in every half decade, and beyond that we are bunch of spoiled brats to be unlawfully arrested, incarcerated, mocked and vilified with insulting slogans to our collective intelligence “Youth empowerment” “youths are happy” “TEKKI FII” “FUTURE GENERATION” our welfare and future as youths are being intentionally bastardised and defiled to a bothersome state. we as a country and her people failed to take the route to our common good vitiated by select few of arrogant, heatless, and insensitive state officials.
Empirical Evidence shows we have a strong desire to forget certain experiences as a nation and that series of events proves beyond all reasonable doubt that we have sadly become a “ forgetful and distracted nation” and this physiological disorder and political illness devalues our cry and protest for a better Gambia, thus serving a good political tool for those to hold accountable that will easily forget by give us time to Bark and rant like a spoiled untrained toothless stray dog.
