Sports supersedes



Are you preparing for May Day Sports? Because this is what the event is synonymous with in The Gambia. Institutions mainly the private sector put on their colorful T. shirts and run up and down the stadium, others flock to the country's main stadium specifically to watch the activities unfolding there.

May 1st the world over is a Public Holiday, also known as International Labour Day, the day is specifically meant to reflect on the plight of thousands of workers the world over, in some cases, the day give disgruntled and radical workers the chance to vent their spleen on the 'terrible' conditions they are going through.

Last year by this time I was in New Delhi, and beleive me or not Indians were busy and infact locked up in election campaigns. While I was reading the papers and wondering how each country try to prioritise events and festivals, I could not help but imagine how the activities at Gambia's main stadium.
