GAMBIA – THE HEMP CANDIDATE

Now please, if you all know Bayo Mustapha, the short insurance expert, kindly call him and ask him why he felt I should be very interested in a dirty hemp-smoking Gambian presidential candidate. He send me the video and says Duke, you will be interested in this. Look like Bill Clinton, I never inhaled - mbok laugh want kill me. You know we have to be very careful now that Marwa is in charge of NDLEA and is running around looking to prove a point. If someone say something about igbo, the Duke and his Shomolu early days, Marwa will just jump and come and catch someone. That Oga is not joking. So I keep quiet o and let me warn this Bayo Mustapha person that he should desist from sending me that kind of video o. Anyways, I sha watched and was entrapped by the mindset, the depth of thought and the lucidity in which the speaker engaged. I quickly sent the video to my Gambian Oga Mustapha Njie and said, ‘Lord is this our candidate’. I will not tell you his reply. Left to Mustapha alone, the candidate will end up on a hemp farm harvesting the thing. The guy looking as dirty and scruffy as they look, with dirty and scattered teeth, kept shouting, don’t judge a book by its cover. He needed to keep emphasizing it because this book was really dirty despite his intellect which was at a very high level, higher than the ones who are parading themselves here with very clean Agbada and suit but who will be going to shopping Malls to buy sex toys or go and be fighting parking attendants because they went to buy Tokunbo phone. When they asked the candidate if he would support the legalization of igbo, he said he would o, but would also table it for national debate. I felt like slapping the journalist. Why would you be asking such an obvious question? You see junkie, and you dey ask what you should be asking are his plans to expand psychiatric facilities in the era of legal marijuana use under his regime. I sha love the Gambia. You should visit. Na old white women looking for something full the place, I hear say na them own oil be that. I go soon go back.
