I have not posted here since the downfall of the dictator who was breathing down the collective neck of Gambians was pushed into exile. It has been a whirlwind since. The democratic space has widened. Press freedom has seen a monumental improvement, however, corruption has increased and taken a life of its own. It is literally killing our people indiscriminately. Until we get that under control soon, we may find ourselves in another conflict of our own making.
About Me
- Gambian Patriot
- I am a Gambian sick and tired of the junk Pa Nderry is passing for journalism. Contrary to what some may believe, I am not a Jammeh apologist neither do I hate Nderry. Journalism is a noble profession and we need ethical journalist if we are to build a better society post Yahya. The form nderry practice is salacious and thus I took it upon myself to keep him honest. I have neither the power or inclination to stop him. I love free speech, but I also knew with free speech comes responsibility. Why do you think you get thrown into jail if you shout fire in a crowded theater? There are limits to free speech ultimately. Maligning characters because you live in exile makes me wince. That is nderry's trait. My motivation is to point out the fallacies in his stories to the best of my ability with the limited time at my disposal.
