There is more room in Gambia for improvement but the rooms are shut because many Gambians are not one.
While in the interest of many to unite Gambia, there are others aiming to divide the country. Such problems affect the efforts of the government.
Like all African countries, politics in Gambia involve greediness. The idea that the APRC has ‘ate’ enough, therefore, it’s the turn of the Coalition of headed by President Adama Barrow to ‘eat’ is causing a setback to the rapid development of Ghana.
Gambians are the friendliest people in Africa, willing to do whatever it takes to help a foreigner or a white man in the country, yet, they can’t help their own people.
In Gambia today, when you move around the Westfield, there you’ll see the grim picture of how many Gambians are suffering.
Along the Serrekunda Brikama highway, are traders, some carrying heavy items, running after moving vehicles, all because they want to make their lives better, but in such dangerous circumstances.
It’s sad to watch the hustling and suffering many Gambians pass through in a country that has so much to offer everyone to live in comfort. The rich are getting richer in Gambia, while the poor are getting poorer.
The future looks very bleak, everyone is struggling to sell something to avoid the temptation of becoming a destitute or a burden on families. Why that is only the third world countries often experience such economic and political situation?
Like all African countries, politics in Gambia is not for the people but for only a group of people to live well. One can easily see that in the country.
The Chinese are developing Gambia, while, the government continues to pay loans to the Chinese government, yet, it has never occurred to the Gambian government to train their own citizens in China to be specialist in the fields which could benefit the nation.
Our resources are being wasted with wrong projects which are not beneficial to Gambians at all in any way. The situation in Gambia is very bad to the extent that some illiterates or superstitious people think the continent is cursed.
What crime has Africa committed to deserve a curse? We are not responsible for slavery, colonial brutality, Apartheid, Aids and Ebola, so why must God curse Africa?
Gambia doesn’t need loans and the help of foreigners to build and develop the country.
The only thing Gambia needs is good leadership. A leader who will utilize the country’s resources in a wise way for the nation to benefit.
