The people that are taking ndawal from poor Gambians are usually the ones that follow your president on his going back to the land scheme that actually means Going Back To My Land. The Presidents Land.
If you are part of the security forces including the police in The Gambia, you are already taking the ndawal.
Have a good evening, bro.
" NDAWAL" Is also means the Remittance, is not a new phenomenons in Africa.
Stop crying Lion King!! We thought you were a LION!
I will offer you "NDAWAL" when we meet in The Gambia - just enough for BONGO fish
Why do you guys really believe that I am a mean person.....lol? I am a kool guy but my only problem is that I am not easily carried away by any small wind. My teachers used to called "Wollof dictionary". Thats why I was trying help him defined "NDAWAL"
Is only in the Gambia where i see foreigners are treated by the authourities in many cases better than the citizens.They are more likely to be treated in our courts, business, offices etc by the authorities better than we the citizen to an extend that the foreigners enjoy more previledge than we the citizens in our own country. This is because of the corrupt/immoral nature of our officails who are less paid by this bandit regime.
The sadest thing is that some of these officails will ignorantly die in poverty and corruption because they fail to regconise that the sufferings on them is cause by their own behaviours. Their own behaviours of supporting, defending and ignoring the dictatorship of the regime is the cause of their sufferings, including their minimum salaries, one of the reason of their corrupt behaviours/their unequal treatments of foreigners and citizens.
No, it is not against the rules or norms to not carry ID. It is advisable to do so in the event of an emergency. ID carrying is only enforced in a paranoid police state like we have in The Gambia.
But now is the time the ignorance who put Jammeh in power to begin realizing the pain they put themselves in to.
