A friend of the devils

by PK Jarju

The Gambian president, Yahya Jammeh is not an ordinary human being. While we humans have two eyes, the geezer has four, which enables him to see both the natural and supernatural world. He is a special creation of Almighty Allah, and has been blessed with the means of belonging to the human and devil race. He even have the means to know things that will come to pass in 40 years time. How wonderful is that?


Hello! I am as sober as a saint and although it is well after 11 pm in freezing cold England, am still wide awake. So please don't think that am sleepy or drunk. I am also not taking the mick at His Excellency, the President either. Am just writing what the Gambian leader openly admitted to the Gambian public.

By Jammeh's own admission, he is a blessed and gifted man. Just think of this. Apart from being able to cure asthma, TB, barrenness among others, he is the only one in the universe whom God has blessed with the medical knowledge to cure HIV/Aids by using leaves and some verses of the Holy Qur'an.

Forget about Sir Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Alexander Flemings among others. We Gambians have a greater and perhaps the most intelligent scientist of our time. He don't need a scientific lab and his medicines, which have divine blessings can cure even illnesses that have for many years eluded the scientific community. And by looking at how blessed he is, his recent statement that he intervene in a fight between devils should not be surprising to me.

I am lucky to come from the same division and tribe with Jammeh, which enabled me to know the man who is running the affairs of our country. And believe me this guy is among the chosen ones lol.

When I was a reporter with The Independent NewspaperI once wrote an article in November 2002 captionAed: Who is President Jammeh? The article was based on an interview President Jammeh had in Jola with Alhagie Momodou Sanyang of GRTS.

Sitting on the bank of his crocodile pond in Kanilai, Mr. Jammeh while speaking about his childhood days said:

"In my childhood days here in Kanilai, I got a rare illness. My parents were very worried. They tried all sort of cure but my situation didn't improve. The hair on my head fell off and my head went bald. Many people thought I was going to die.

My mother [Asombi Bojang] took me to one renown dibia at the time who told us that I am going to be a great leader. According to the dibia, the illness was due to the fact that the devils were preparing me for leadership. That my hair fell off because I was about to wear the leadership hat.

As a young boy then, I don't go hungry. My stomach was always full and my parents would sometimes tell me off or flog me for refusing to eat the food they cook.

There were big Bantango trees behind our houses where I will often disappear for many hours and no one will know where I have been. And anytime I return home, my hands would smell of the delicious food I have eaten and people will ask me all sort of questions about where I ate the food and who cooked it."

Believe me, this are not my words but Jammeh's. My story is still in the archives of The Independent and the tape of the interview is in the GRTS library I suppose.

Because of his long term association with the devils, it is therefore not surprising to see Jammeh transformed himself within two years after taking over the reign of power from a poor malnourished soldier to the riches Gambian.

Hahaha chumwai Jilanka! So your friends, the devils were your World Bank. The unknown financial backers who rained money on you to build the white elephant projects and pay salaries of civil servants during those difficult years of the revolution.

So after all he is right when he tell the Gambia people during his election campaigns that if they don't vote for him the devils would vote for him to win the presidency. The devils indeed vote for him in all the elections he contested because I don't think there is any sane Gambian out there who will vote for Jammeh looking at the mess he has plunged our country into.

Jammeh does not trust the Gambian people. The only people he trust are his friends the devils. While he continuously moan about how he is often let down by his secretaries of state and permanent secretaries, the devils will never betrayed him and have always got him out of any difficulty he faced.

They are the ones who provide 24 hour security for him and makes sure that no weapon fire at him will prosper. That was why his military coup was nothing but peaceful. Not even a single soul was killed. Recounting how the July 22 coup was conducted in an interview with Ebou Waggeh of GRTS, President Jammeh said:

"While marching with my men to Banjul, we came across stiff resistance from some soldiers loyal to the Jawara regime at the Denton Bridge. These soldiers kept firing at us but I advised my men not to fire back. I told them that nothing was going to happen to anyone who is within 100 metres behind me. As we continued marching towards Banjul, the opposing soldiers realising that their guns cannot do anything to us surrendered." Incredible isn't it?

President Jammeh is so blessed that even Prophet Sulaiman would be impress with what the guy can do. This is because apart from he Sulaiman, Jammeh is the only creation on planent earth who has the ability to see both the natural and supernatural world as well as converse and dine with devils. And perhaps looking at how gifted our president is, the Gambia will soon be rich like Sulaiman's town.

Oh yes! That is why we have now discovered crude oil and vast quantities of mineral resources. And do not be surprise if you find gold and diamonds in the streets on Banjul.
