To Allah and ‘Nabi’, I have been talking, particularly with reference to
this back-way crisis, and I’ll keep talking and writing until I make no sense. I
don’t care what anyone may take my attempts to mean. I just feel that curbing
this urgent situation in whatever
little way we can is a moral responsibility.
…but I have observed that here, when something really ugly is going on,
people have a tendency to not sincerely state their opinion, they’ll more
willing shut up and still expect a way out. Regarding this back-way thingy, I
don’t know, perhaps with the purpose of avoiding controversy, some of us don’t
want to appear to be opposed to it, 'teh Waruta Demay Nornu'; death is
apparently targeting our young people and that’s so disturbing
I have tried to make these kids overstand that progress is a slow
process, that not everything that looks precious about Europe do always turn
out to be so; BUT HOW CAN THEY LISTEN, when despite the many disappointments
that SOME OF US face abroad, we still tend to display a false image in order to leave others back home so desirous.
We all endeavour to be seen the way we want to be seen
These couple of months alone, I have heard about the demise of at least
four kids that I knew in person; very diligent, well-bred and buoyant kids,
whose good spirits apparently became infected because they thought their
livelihood could no longer complement family expectations, they got convinced
that Europe is where God resides, and perhaps a better place to accomplish
their parents' wishes.
Very unfortunately, in preference to staying here and feeling
heartbroken, they decided to either get to Lampedusa, or drown or get blasted whilst trying, and
that’s really sad…. R.I.P
Jagne, Lamin Njie, Buba Helsinki, Malang et al. May the age and ambitions y’all couldn't attain
be compensated with Jannah; Amen!
