10. That tribalism May rear it’s ugly head as if it is pretty, very pretty or beautiful model and the norm in our society. Tribalism is unholy! Those of you who are Muslims should read the Holy Quran where the Almighty God says:
49:13 O men! Behold, we have created you all out of a male and a female, and have you into the nations and tribes, so that you might come to know one another.
Let us not allow our recent history to make us tribalist. As I have already told you, if we are one in the world, then we are one in The Gambia.
