Gambian President Adds ‘Chief Bridge Builder’ To His Long List Of Titles

This guy is the most despotic, bigoted, self centred dictator we currently have on our continent, and he has no intention of stopping anytime soon.

Yahya Jammeh, who has been in charge of Gambia since taking power in a coup in 1994, runs one of the most tight fisted dictatorships in the world. Dissent is not tolerated, and any name he chooses for himself, no matter how ridiculous, must be used in awe.

He has now announced that the title ‘Babili Mansa’ be added to his name, which already contains a long list of titles. The phrase translates from the Mandika language as ‘chief bridge builder’ or ‘conqueror of rivers’; pick your poison.

It was contained in a press statement released by the government.

“The Office of the President wishes to inform the general public that with effect from 17th June 2015, His Excellency the President of the Republic shall be addressed as: His Excellency Sheikh Professor Alhaji Dr. Yahya A.J.J. Jammeh Babili Mansa.”

The rationale behind it, apparently; is that since coming into power he has built bridges all across the Gambia.

So everyone must know and add it to his name, talk about being insecure.

Of course, Jammeh is a bit cuckoo; aside the dictatorship he runs in his country, he has in the past threatened to behead and/or slit the throat of any homosexual he catches in his country.
