Last year, The Gambia's "December" was one hell of a confounding thriller, an emotional rollercoaster- you know: the surprises, suspense, anxiety, occasional loss of nerve, and the outrageous Machiavellian manoeuvres.
By God and His Word that He’ll test fortitude using episodes of adversity before prosperity, and by our common regard for ours as a unit of many but one family and country, 2017 turned out to be pretty awesome. But of course, sanity cannot but prevail because 'nyun barriwunj' (we’re not so peopled), definitely not built for conflict.
It's almost the end of 2017 and I send season's greetings to you and yours. May the good Lord continue to protect, guide and disrobe us of all forms of gimmickery, be it social, political, or intellectual, and the 'sanj-sanj-lu' (pseudo-gutsiness). May He shower His blessings upon us all, and usher in a New Year of bountiful opportunities and possibilities. Amen!
