John,
Indeed! AKB is nuts! He just loves to cuddle nasty leaders in Africa......they seem to represent a form of "nationalism" to him. What's wrong with people striving to remove a thieving despot from power? The nation's top job is a JOB with performance and ethical requirements; it's not an entitlement and the people should not be obligated to tip-toe around a leader's obvious inability to to do the job.
Contrast his loving tender understanding of Sheki to his virulent hatred of Kabba and Berewa!
Regards
Sam Zoker

Oh, ok now I see. He was an angel, problem was the people around him who did not talk directly to him! Look what talking did for Taqi and others. I suppose you would now say they did not talk directly to the man, they tried "to remove him from power". AKB you are amazing!

Nope!!! Surpirsingly, he went back to S/L ad changed some of the things I had pointed out. The lesson is that had the folk around him talked directly to him about the shortcomings of his administration, as opposed to simply going along as some did or try to remove him from prower as other attempted, Shaki was maleable.

I had an encounter with Pa Shaki, JCK's Uncle, in Switzerland, and I thought I was going to get it hard for speaking my mind to him. He was expecting me to do like the others that went into his hotel office to see him, share the typical "hardship stories" as Afrikan students struggling in Europe, and then ask for financial help. Instead, I went in there talking about what
I admired about his earlier political record and some of his bad policies at the time. To my surprise, he thanked me for being honest and confessed that there were things about his administration of which he was not proud or happy.

As you would expect, AKB, I don't agree with your assessment of the man. However let us for a moment accept what you say.
1 How much more crooked does Shaki need to have been before you say "ee do so, yu too pass mark. No honour for yu"?
2 How come you never seem to apply this fine balancing act of good versus evil to other personalities, Sir Albert for example?
John

It is simple, Karmor John Simbo. Shaki was a crook, but he was also a true nationalist. Look at his entire history, not just the years he made his mistakes.

The joke is fine Pierre, only thing diabolical is Shaki's rule. He created that hell in the first place. I can't figure why there hasn't been a clamour for the man's remains to be removed from the precincts of Parliament. He does not deserve that honour.
Cheers.
John

Very humorous, but in a diabolical manner.

The Queen, Clinton & Pa Shakie went to hell and met the devil.
Queen Elizabeth said "I miss England; Please I want to call England and see how everybody is doing there". She called and talked for about 5 minutes, and then she asked "Well, Devil, how much do I owe you???? " The devil says "Five million pounds". She wrote him a cheque and went to sit back on her chair.
Bill Clinton was so jealous, he starts screaming, "My turn! I wanna call the States, I wanna see how every godamn guy, well actually Monica Lewinsky, is doing out there. He called and talked for about 2 minutes, and then he asked "Well, Devil, how much do I owe you???? " The devil says "Ten
million dollars". With a smug look on his face, he wrote a cheque and went to sit back on his chair.
Pa Shakie was even more jealous & starts screaming, "Me too go call Sa Lone o jare, Ar wan see how everybody dae do. If they don bring light en if di road dem don betteh. If den don make fly-over bridge dem now. Ar go talk to the ministers, to me special advisers, to me APC party, to the SLPP, to all den oda parties den and Sa Lone Central Bank, to everybody... "
He calls Sa Lone and he talks for about twenty hours, he talked & talked & talked, then he asked, "Well, Devil, can I have my bill???? " The devil says "Ten thousand Leones".
Pa Shakie is stunned & says; "Aw ba!! Ten thousand Leone nor mor???
Only ten thousand Leones"
The Devil says "Well if you make a call from one hell to another hell, it's local! "
Cheers!
