Gotta give it to them...

Seeing how Mo Bamba is being distinguished even before he sets his game in motion, Kevin Garnett reaching out and all, got me thinking like, really, the notion that America is the land of opportunity is indeed true. 

I see that kinda drive being followed in Senegal and it’s taking them far. They too are supplied with people who just wanna keep adding greatness to their brand - you know, people who when they see latent talent or potential, they just want to go out their way to bring it out or develop it.

See how to Dr. Youssou Ndour's credit for instance, and thanks to Bercy and TFM, many a talent from some origin was afforded platform and has now blossomed.

I’m not saying they do not envy; let me qualify that. Well, comparatively, I can say so, because here meanwhile, even our hangouts are livelier when it’s someone’s misfortune being discussed, especially someone who once was. Like: ‘he thought he was all that.’ ‘She never thought it’d come to this.’ ‘Gatt di, she's back. Now we are even!’ You know the: "if I can't have it, neither can you" BS.

I don’t know, hejjna deff nyu dabb, or maybe I should blame that too on our 22YO Dictatorship. But whatever the reason, unless we change ways, we can have Barack Obama as president, Vladimir Putin as his vice and Mother Theresa as minister for relational matters and still, this so-called smiling coast (deliberately lowercased) will remain a trying coast, because none can thrive on schadenfreude. Glad I said that.
