It doesn’t take a Professor of English Language or Communications to notice that President Adama Barrow is monotonic, grammatically and linguistically mediocre and keeps using the same words and phrases over and over again in his interviews with journalists.
Some people have already started suggesting that he needs an Oxford English Dictionary in his office to help him expand his “limited vocabulary” as he seems to be suffering from rickets of the mind despite claims that he graduated with a degree from a British university.
In this edition of What’s On-Gambia, we take a look at six of Barrow’s frequently used words and phrases.
Think tank: He always uses this phrase to assure Gambians that although he’s clueless, he has a group of people that knows how to develop ideas that can bring significant changes in the country.
Positive: With Barrow, any meeting he has with Western officials he expects something ‘positive’ to come out of it.
Technocrats: Shortly after his inauguration, ‘technocrats’ was Barrow’s most favourite word. According to him his government consist of “experienced politicians and technocrats.”
Overhaul:This word suffered a lot at the hands of the Gambian leader. In his interviews with journalist, he keeps repeating that government departments need complete ‘overhaul’.
