The Legend of Saaba Miniyang Baa

Depicted is a Jinni fairy tale for delight of eleven-year-old to the ninety-nine years elderly. Its tale believed to have existed a long, long time ago at the Dobo Forest Lower Badibou District in the North Bank of the Gambia. It is story of valor, love, the taming and eventual banning of the world's largest and longest python locally called Sabaa Miniyang baa. Young Saaba Mansa, later became Prince and eventual hire to the Bere Kolong throne. Follow him display power beyond any human capacity in over powering his rival heavy weight of Jinnidom for right to marry Princess Jinnanding Koyo. Saaba Mansa, meaning king of the great snake, as king triumphed over all obstacles and instituted new modern humane system of governing. He ushered in exciting changes in the lives and governance of the people. People no long need to fight to kill to win a bride. The simple heart's enamour was made acceptable to all Bere Kolong communities. I write to raise funds for building of village hospital at Njawara, Badibou.
