MANNEH KUNDA: Where the Eagle Found Rest and Brotherhood Beyond Borders

 

By Oriontimes, Brufut | The Gambia

In a world often divided by borders and accent, some men build bridges with nothing but kindness. Mr. Fabakry Manneh,

a son of The Gambia’s smiling coast, stands as one such bridge, a living testament to the beauty of shared humanity.

I met him not in a hall of power, but along the quiet rhythm of life in The Gambia, and in that simplicity, I found nobility. His warmth, humility, and grace spoke a universal language that needed no translation.

He is an embodiment of grace, a man whose gentle spirit could teach immigrants across the black nations that humanity knows no passport. His friendship carried the fragrance of peace, his hospitality the soul of The Gambia,  a nation whose culture radiates harmony like sunlight on tranquil waters.

I called him the Friend of Nigeria, not as a courtesy, but as truth. For through his heart, I felt the pulse of a brotherhood that transcended geography. He welcomed me as one of his own, an eagle far from home who found rest on a generous shore.

In celebrating Mr. Fabakry Manneh, we celebrate more than a man,  we celebrate the idea that kindness is a borderless language, and that true greatness lies in how we treat the stranger among us.

As God lives, may the winds of the universe carry blessings uncountable upon his path. May his days be long, and his story never forgotten, for men like him remind the world that peace is still possible, one act of grace at a time.
