I think the only trait that comes off absolutely virtuous in this country is false pretense, airs if you like. So, pretend kindness towards the average Gambian and you'll become a saint.
Y'know: "ndeysan, ku sett hol la. Amut ben problem." But until shit goes south like every con comes to an end, and we discover you were just a smooth operator: "ouch! Ki mor tojj chaa.....!"
Unfortunately, you can be genuinely kind to us, always be there for us but once, and you're declared wicked. Ha! Perhaps I should also become one big-arse representation of all the untrue facts about me.
And you too, if you're sick and tired of being sick and tired of being a victim of the consequences of honesty, you may want to join the club.
