Spanish Diplomat and Gambian Officials Collaborate on Visa Easing, Diaspora Integration, and Draft Constitution

H.E. Violeta Insa Enai, who heads the Spanish Diplomatic Mission in The Gambia, popped by H.E. A.N.M. Ousainu Darboe’s office on April 2, 2024.

Joined by Lamin Manneh, Deputy Secretary for External Affairs and the Diaspora of the UDP, H.E. Darboe warmly welcomed the Spanish envoy. They dove into various topics like European Union visa restrictions, the vibrant Gambian Diaspora in Spain, and ways to empower women, among other things.

Discussing visa restrictions, H.E. Insa Enai hinted at potential easing by the EU, a move H.E. Darboe applauded. They also brainstormed ideas to better integrate Gambian expats in Spain, including seasonal-worker visas for Gambians during high-demand months like summer. These workers could even receive training in fields like agriculture and IT to boost their skills and possibly return home to kickstart their own ventures. H.E. Darboe pledged UDP support for their reintegration and securing government contracts.

H.E. Insa Enai also pledged her Mission’s support to local NGOs, especially those led by women, with H.E. Darboe promising to help her identify similar organizations.

On the Draft Constitution, H.E. Insa Enai expressed hope for its tabling and referendum before year-end, a sentiment shared by H.E. Darboe, who highlighted its merits. He emphasized the need for bipartisan support during the referendum campaign.

 
 

 

 

 

Bobrisky’s Brush with the Law: What Happens if Guilty of Naira Shenanigans, According to EFCC!

Guess what’s making headlines? The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) just scooped up none other than the famed crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, on Thursday, April 4th! So, what’s the buzz about? Well, it turns out Bobrisky got into hot water for what’s called “naira mutilation” – basically, throwing around cash in public.

The EFCC got wind of Bobrisky’s cash-spraying antics at the premiere of a movie by Nollywood actress Eniola Ajao on March 24, 2024, and they weren’t too thrilled about it. But get this – it seems this isn’t Bobrisky’s first rodeo. Nope, he’s allegedly been making it rain at other events too!

Now, here’s the kicker: Barrister Stanley Alieke, a human rights champ, spilled the beans in an exclusive chat with Legit.ng. He revealed that anyone caught tossing cash like confetti could be looking at a stint in the slammer – yup, six months behind bars!

But hold up, there’s a twist! The police say they can’t just nab Bobrisky and fellow crossdressers left and right. Why? Well, they’re waiting on some solid evidence to back up the claims that they’ve been up to no good. It’s like trying to win a court case without all the right proof – tough luck!

So, there you have it – Bobrisky’s cash-flinging escapades have landed him in some serious trouble, but will he walk the plank or come out shining? Stay tuned for the latest on this glam saga!
