Race against hunger

Editor,

The time has come for our individual and collective prayers, as we are about to face high prices on basic commodities.

Let us all in our very little ways engage in farming, in order to feed ourselves. Let everybody, Gambians and non-Gambians over the age of 21 years, sow six kilos of rice, millet, maize, groundnut, and beans, then there will be enough feeding for all, year in, year out. The department of agriculture and NARI should be at hand to provide us with farming equipment, fertilisers and chemicals, if only we show readiness and interest in order to achieve our nation’s goal.

Let us pray for enough rain, energy, strength, long life, with abundant quality. Let’s show the world that we can feed ourselves. Let’s show the President Alh Yahya Jammeh, that we (the men) can farm, and we will farm come rain come dry.

Happy moment: let’s praise Allah.

Difficult moment: let’s seek Allah.

Quiet moment: let’s worship Allah.

Every moment: let’s thank Allah.

With the advice of our agricultural experts, and with the help of Allah, we will achieve our goals.

It’s all about development, loving, caring, sharing and, above all, peace.
