Jammeh, another hard rescue
against Gambians and possible
testimony of reincarnated Cruel
African King and under resisting
populace? Jammeh was not just
cruel, but he was a hypocritical
coward who enjoyed marijuana
and feared legalising it. Despite
his occasional political rages
against the west, he licked their
ass when a drug shipment was
caught in Gambian waters and
he was among the suspects.
He worsen the Gambian law
to include seizing compounds
were marijuana was found,
while he was using marijuana,
according to many folks, including
Jamaican musicians who
wrongly praised him and claim
to smoked with him. President
Adama Barrow lacks respect
for truth and yet to understand
the dangers of oppressing the
minority on personal rights.
Although less personally corrupt
as Jammeh, he simply does
not seem to have the courage to
crackdown on corruption. We
need culture of cameras, people
must stop stealing time through
late, absence, and idle at work
time. We pay taxes for work to be
done, not simple attendance and
bad work. We need thinkers in
government, but also how to help
thinkers outside government. He
may arrogantly say, he greedily
sold Land to success, and blind
to the land reforms we need for
humanity over business.
Loving knowledge is good,
but how truthful and kind are
the Christians, whites, and xyz?
Keep trading blames, but we
must know the race is not who is
much worse, but who wants to be
the best, squarely.
All of Africa should choose
English as first language, but
develop it to be much better than
present English, then name it .
This does not mean making it
more 'African', but making it
simpler, more consistent, and
more stranger friendly. It may
require doubling or tripling the
vowels, harder start and smooth
ride after. This means even the
British will learn ours. As a lover
of languages and knowing many
western and African languages,
I fairly know the weakness and
strength of the languages I know
or functional in. First, it is very
important to know it is in our
best earthly interest to have
one primary world and African
language. English is already the
number one language, but if we
can improve it, then why not? If
the rest of the world choose our
English, Uk+ will subdue, otherwise
we will have a simpler English
for our people and a much
smaller percentage of Africans
will learn the present English,
French, Portuguese, etc. I do not
recommend the route of taking
one African language to develop
it, because English took lot from
African languages and we should
be global, not just African. We
should develop African languages
to written level, but not
separately as we are doing. Those
languages should still be secondary
to our new English. Beside
our interest, the past shows the
French and Portuguese were
much more brutal in Colonisation,
so largely abandon their
languages. Rwanda ditch French
and prospered. Guinea and Mali
do not have the courage to ditch
French, partly because Present
English is hard, except French is
harder. Our New English can be
learned in six months, by average
adults. I am highly functional
in French, fairly functional in
Spanish and Portuguese. So I
don't hate these languages and
not calling for total banning, but
switching the primary language.
The leaders of these countries
know very well that higher learning
demands English in our age,
so delaying English Learning is
self delaying, especially against
the poor. Haiti should ditch both
voodoo and French, learn from
Rwanda.
It can be a gradual switch
and do not wait for grants from
u.s , UK, or Australia. The English
speaking Africans should help
any African country willing to
switch. The Language does not
belong to the queen or new king,
and we can use it to raise their
conscience. Let the African union
or a billionaire take enough of
my type, pay minimally until we
prove our worth or work deserve
big bonuses. We can certainly
produce a much better English,
but the task will continue on all
of us. How is our character on
Showlove Trinity is more important
than any language? May
God bless Showlove Trinity: Let's
learn, let's work, let's have fun.

Optional note:
First, there are terrible
Africans who are on illusions
or use fractional facts to mislead
the kids. For example, one
Gambian singer sang a song that
claims, 'the whites fooled our
grandparents until some speak
English, some French, etc ' The
reality is Africans were much
more divided on languages and
Colonisation brought us closer.
I am a mixed tribe, and on one
side, I am arguably from the
largest African tribe, the Fulani.
Whereas many Americans
think Swahili is the number one
African Tribe, I think the Fulanis
are number one. Even if we were
to take the Fulani as primary
African language, can we even
agree we should modify it like
we are planning on English? The
different type of Fulanis exist,
from Cameron, Nigeria, Senegal,
to Guinea. Twenty years ago,
there was no well known written
Fulani dictionary. Knowing the
top three African languages does
not guarantee you communicating
with 25% of Africans, but
knowing just English and French
can break language barriers with
over 25% of Africans. A bad song
like the one I mentioned builds
a bad mindset on teenagers+ ,
they reluctantly learn and thus
poorly learn. They avoid speaking
English in the offices, until they
become president or senior officer
then the errors become intolerable.
We know English people
make mistakes at NewYork
Times level, we make mistakes
in our local languages, but we
must differentiate tolerable from
intolerable, efforts from enough
efforts , etc.
The opportunities we dismissed
is sadly hitting us. We
were not the only countries colonised,
but some countries refuse
to repeat or worsen the crimes
of the Colonisers on their own
people. Learning others language
is not a crime, especially if it may
help you. Excuses like is not my
mother tongue will be gauged
against others' efforts. Even if
your parents did not take you to
school, it is vital to learn English
from a fellow Gambian, Ghanian,
etc before you think about
luck in Europe. Don't learn few
words and claim enough, read,
speak, and write! Everyday. Pay
few hundreds/thousands to your
teachers or how can you claim
appreciation or lover of knowledge...
When I was in Montreal
Canada, my room-mates were
Senegalese doing Masters and
PhD, but they struggle because
many of their books and special
papers were only in English. It
is cruel for Macky Sall or xyz to
know this fact, have an English
teacher for his kids, but the poor
Senegalese will focus on imposed
French until they need highest
learning... Beside Montreal,
when I was in Vancouver , I saw
people from Brazil and other
countries paying thousands of
dollars to learn English; flight,
rent, and other expenses and
they may or may not say 'it's not
my mother tongue '. If there is
one good thing about Colonisation,
then language is likely it. I
can write to educate Ghanians+
of multiple tribes, write for children
of ex slaves to know work
denial over marijuana is very
wrong and contribute to gangs,
and eventually prejudice against
all blacks? Without English, how
would you have learned from
Nelson Mandela in his language?
It is no exaggeration when
I claim we can have new better
English that people can learn
much quicker. The French people
spoke five hundred years ago,
Quebec French, and modern
Paris French are not just different,
but one is easier than the
other. Similarly is English, and
Spanish was modernised. I reluctantly
learned French in school;
gladly learned it for over a year
in Quebec , Canada ; then I tried
Spanish and within two weeks, I
was reading Spanish better than
French. The power of consistency
was at play, Spanish reading is
by far much more consistent
than English and French. Once
we develop our new English and
the Chinese find it much more
easier and the need to trade with
Africa, others will embrace it and
even English people will learn it
than they learn present African
languages. It is not easy to know
the difficulties or problems of
your own language until you are
exposed to something better
as contrast, so our appreciation
to the English should include
improving it. Get a team of
multilingual African+ and let's
produce the new language of the
world, which will not be very far
from present English or hard to
switch from.
Arabic language is consistent
in reading to some degree, but it
focuses on beauty than functionality,
and that is problematic
towards non Arabs. Due to the
fact that a big percentage of
Africans are Muslims, it is vital
to also make changes to how
present Arab is written to help
our fellow Africans learn Quaran
quicker. The changes on this
are much more minor , but the
teaching methods can change
drastically. Anyone with strong
English should be able to read
and understand the Quaran in
Arabic within six months. Memorising
it will also be quicker,
but depends on other factors.
Achieving this will put a dent
on groups like bokoharam, it
will literally close many abusive
Koranic schools, and it will free
the people through time, to learn
other things. I already have the
formulas to do it, but it requires
time and money. You need a team
who are good in both Arabic
Koran and English, share the formulas
or guides, work separately
and then together to produce an
awesome final product that will
transform how we learn Quaran.
OIC is coming to the Gambia, but
they may not trust a marijuana
guy to lead such a project. So let's
work hard and invest our own
money as charity on modern
'free a neck.'
Whereas the Koran claims
'Christians are lovers of knowledge'
and that was not just true,
but still true; the English from
UK, Canada, Australia, and u.s
spend significantly on research
and development, partnering
with them cannot be compared
with partnering with France,
Portugal, Spain, or Saudi Arabia
that fails to respect ch.103. If
we do it rightly, God will see us
through. Which individual or
group will take the 'lover of truth
or the whole peaceful Trinity
prize? Hope God will give us
perfect marijuana or something
better. It was largely Christians
and whites who lied Marijuana
has no medicinal value? Then another
group of largely Christians
and whites who said the laws
disproportionately hurt blacks
and donated to NormL than
blacks... So shame on the African
leaders who still criminalise
cannabis, they were/are with bad
Opinion
Balanced Facts Around Colonisation
and Way Forward for Africa
Biden? When you take marijuana
you know door and wind-door is
oral English in the cold and functionality,
but when you drink
alcohol you write window...
Optional note 2:
We must not allow our young
ones to carry illusions that may
negatively impact their learning
or working character, or sin
against others. Not only do we
have a problem of tribalism, we
are increasingly seeing racist
thoughts than actions among
blacks. When barely working
blacks claim Arabs and whites
are not hard working , it is based
on very faulty calculations. It
is fairly easy to see countless
lazy folks in any race or gender,
but the fruits are big evidence
against Africa in respect to learning
and working character. You
cannot tell me the 5 to 15 % of
blacks built the Arab and white
worlds through force or other
means, but we refuse to help
ourselves, especially in Africa . A
big percentage of whites never
owned slaves and history is not
very clear how governments
directly used slaves. The early
part of the transatlantic slavery
was labor oriented, so it is
literally impossible for about 5%
of a populace to build the rest
through physical work. Later,
they saw blacks were mentally
capable and the mental contribution
of few blacks actually out
valued the physical contribution
of slaves. For example, it was a
black man who discovered the
importance of crop rotation and
that helped way beyond America,
including whites.
Traffic lights and many
other things were discovered
by blacks, and many of them
were hardly well compensated.
When the African child is taught
crop rotation in school, he may
wrongly think thanks to whites
or Gardening is for the poor.
Blacks may be more physically
fit, but not necessarily the most
hard working people on earth.
Similarly, blacks immensely contributed
to the mental Evolution
of humankind, but largely outside
Africa. This simply means
Africa must open doors for our
young ones to research and find
ways of generous compensation
of our trying and great minds.
Availability is crucial than affordability,
and there are many
simple and inexpensive things
that are simply not available in
many parts of Africa. We need
big research-oriented stores and
phone numbers to call and order
if we need something that is
not available. Not everyone have
families in the west or Asia, who
may even not be helpful enough
sometimes. The time and money
you spend on learning shows
how much you value learning;
the money you reserve to help
people gain employment is about
gratitude, but you must first
appreciate employers without
worshipping them.
