Untimely opportunism, unpopular populism, amateurism and lack of vision in the spirit of deception are harming the cultural diversity of our dear and beautiful country, by creating controversy around the Nimba mask, which is nevertheless adopted and accepted for decades by Guineans in their diversity.
A good message carried by the wrong person at the wrong time with the wrong strategy in bad faith will always remain inaudible to the people.
Each generation or each group of men must be able in all conscience to define its mission, its skills and its limits in order to acquire the necessary means according to the established rules, otherwise its transition to business will only be catastrophic for the society and any individual or clan profit drawn from it will only be ephemeral and over time will darken the future and the future of the holders.
With the choice of democracy as the option of governance, a transition, moreover, resulting from a coup d’etat, without real consensus, can in principle only allow, through reforms, the people to freely choose women and men who must speak and act in his name in the management of public affairs.
I regret these sterile controversies around “our NIMBA”, but I am aware of this and convinced that our Baga brothers will understand that it is the bad moment and the bad communication that are decried and not the mask in question, being that it has been adopted and accepted for decades by the people of Guinea as indicated above.
