I think she can be mayor...

Gambia - June 29, 2012, referring to Muhammed Jah, BBC wrote an article titled: “The Gambian man who made millions without a business plan…” and it got us all wowed and proud of a brother. He certainly had ideas; that’s a businessman’s primary capital. He didn’t just think it a Wajib to blueprint his plan. Now, relating his to my point, and for some of you who cannot even manage a picnic, if M. Jah’s was likely, why can’t Rohey Lowe become mayor for Banjul on her already existing party line?

Anyway, you know what some mentally liberated people call some of these manifestos: ‘public declarations of the same shit.’ Yeah, I know, that’s not a nice thing to say. Let me be more polite and ask: from 19 O’long to date, is there any political proposal you saw that wasn’t as unoriginal, superficially plausible, and misleadingly attractive as it was soon forgotten like a typical New Year’s Resolution? But you still think it’s a life-and-death thingy?

When are we going to stop indulging the scheme of the elite – can’t you see you’re being caused to believe that society should be ruled by those who meet their ungenerous standards? See, my grandfather was an immediate post-colonial MP. He wasn’t college educated, but he did more for his constituency than all his successors combined. So, if Madam Lowe wants to blueprint hers, fine, but to me, if she wants ‘Benachini Perch’ for Banjul, she doesn’t need some formula to tell her okay madam let’s do this:

Chop the ingredients. Add oil. Heat. Add garlic. Wait till brown. Remove the chunks of garlic. Add the onions. Keep stirring. Mix in the pureed pepper. Add salt. Add water. Mix in the tomatoes. Stir in tomato paste. Cover the pot. Is it coming to a boil? Sprinkle in the rice and more cups of water. Reduce heat to simmer. Add water and spices as needed. Don’t forget the cabbage. Wait for the rice to cook.

And that was ‘Benachini Perch’ for the benefit of those who cannot cook. She doesn’t need all that… she ain’t no robot. She can cook. Real cooks know their recipe by heart. We only need to trust her on this. That’s what Obama was talking about when he was talking about hope… and faith. Now we have all seen what happened when America went for El Diablo because he had a ‘platform’ of ‘Making America Break.’
