It is just hilarious how all of a sudden the vermin have found God. I guess
in their deviant minds it was God’s will that our defenseless children be
slaughtered and it was also God’s will that those hateful terrorists in New
York murder over 4000 innocent civilians. Oh God help us from such TWISTED
interpretation of the Koran. God help us from morons and drunkards leaving
bars and holding the Koran and giving erroneous interpretation of Your Holy
Book. Amen.

Frankly, I thought Gassama and Essa Sey were morons, but I did NOT think
that they will go to this extent whereby they will try in broad daylight to
bamboozle God, The Almighty. You guys think that when you are partaking in
your despicable deeds disobeying God, The Almighty is sleeping or taking a
vacation? Did God also ‘ordain’ that Hitler comes and slaughter Jews? You
people MUST be out of your minds. I am very serious when I say that if
nothing else, please reread the Koran and Hadith and try and educate
yourself. You are way off.

Before I move to Gassama’s irrational rattling about his ‘wishes’ for Gambia
after the October Election, let me just point out one thing to Essa Sey. In
his quest to sound intelligent and make a point, the mental midget ended up
implicating his boss and showing the whole world that Yaya is blatantly
breaking our laws by ‘owning’ a plane. Essa Sey just told us that Yaya is
indeed the owner of Millennium Airlines. After all, the UN Sanctions
Committee got the wrong person. When they banned Baabaa Jobe (qua Director
of Millennium Airlines), they should have banned Yaya. That aside, our
Constitution (as if Yaya respects the document) specifically prohibits Yaya
from involving in ‘business’ other than farming. Now Essa Sey is telling us
that Yaya is in the ‘business’ of hiring and firing people working for
Millennium Airlines. You morons do NOT cease to amaze me.

Now to tweedle-dee. Gassama, Hitler won elections in Germany. The man is
still a Devil. Stealing elections by intimidating the masses does NOT make
Yaya a ‘good’ person with few faults (shortcomings) that some of us should
tolerate. In my book, the vermin forfeited his rights when he ordered the
massacre of our children. That is what you guys should also try and get into
your thick skulls. You keep trying to make us ignore the man’s faults. We
are telling you that those faults are so heinous that we CANNOT tolerate
them. I hope you see the point now.

You can delude yourself and think that the people that oppose Yaya in this
forum are in the minority. Not just this forum, but let me inform you that
the overwhelming majority of Gambians oppose Yaya. The moron spent millions
of dalasis during the last election. At the end of the day, he could only
‘win’ because he ferried Casamance Jolas into the country to vote for him.
He also had vermin like you scaring people telling them that if Yaya loses
there will be turmoil in the country. The end result? Some innocent Gambians
put ‘security’ over everything else and succumbed to intimidation. I tell
the people that they are just postponing their ordeal.

The proverbial ink was hardly dry when Yaya vindicated my point that people
were just postponing their ordeal.  People that thought giving Yaya a
‘victory’ will bring peace to the country are sadly mistaken. Were those
people not rounded up and jailed and their families and compounds attacked
by APRC thugs? What kind of ‘open mind’ do you suggest we look at the
illegal detention of people like Muhammad Sillah, George Christensen and
Baboucarr Gaye, to name a few? How do you suggest we look at the closure of
a Radio Station on the basis of some spurious civil (as opposed to criminal)
claims?

You must be out of your mind to think that people will take seriously Essa
Sey’s silly gimmicks trying to serve as a person interested in dialog to
bring sanity in our country. Of course we know that you, Essa Sey, Tombong,
Fatoumatta Jahumpa and all the APRC clowns on G_L are all a bunch of
nonentities. You CANNOT and have no desire of speaking truth to Yaya that
will jeopardize your positions. I told people long time ago that talking to
you people is pointless. Yaya has to be DEFEATED (NOT negotiated with). We
know that you are all impotent in front of Yaya when he wants to do his
diabolical deeds. You people CANNOT even help yourselves. Why should we
expect you to help us when you do NOT even want to recognize the evil
inherent in the massacre of our children? I understand that Yaya once called
one Mr. Ceesay to his (Yaya’s) office. Yaya showed Mr. Ceesay a list of 38
people and told Ceesay that he (Ceesay) was a liar. Apparently, Yaya was
miffed because Ceesay fed him wrong information and made him fire 38 civil
servants unjustifiably (what’s new about that?). For feeding Yaya false
information leading to the demise of those servants, Ceesay was also fired.
Guess who is the Mrs. of this Ceesay character. Now, tell me if I should
trust Mrs. Ceesay that CANNOT fight for her husband to fight for defenseless
Gambian children.

Gassama, I wonder what gave you the idea that you cannot make reference to
the Jawara days. Of course you can talk about that if you want. Just don’t
LIE. Because if you do, you will hear from me. If you read what you wrote in
your piece about the Jawara era, you will realize why you are confused about
writing about the Jawara era. How on earth can you say that the Jawara
government “[subjugated] a whole nation through a deliberate policy of
keeping them [absolutely] ignorant”? Emphasis mine. I wonder where you,
Yaya, Essa Sey, Tombong, the entire Jahumpa family, all got your education
from.

Soon you will begin to hallucinate that Yaya brought us Gamtel. In your own
twisted world, Yaya developed the container terminals at the Ports. Yaya was
the one that built Yundum airport from scratch. Yaya was the one that built
the roads in Banjul. Yaya started the Banjul Sewage project. You people are
simply pathetic. Gassama, some of us were in Banjul right before the ‘coup’.
We are NOT ‘Doctors’ (no disrespect meant here) that left Gambia 20 years
ago and do NOT know what Yaya put there and what he found there and built
on. This GRTS you are bragging about is a classic example of how you mental
midgets operate. The Yaya propaganda outfit (GRTS) almost bankrupted one of
the most productive companies in the country (Gamtel). A company we got
thanks to the Jawara government. How did you morons try to rectify the
situation? You resolved to bankrupt more companies just to have Yaya to come
on TV and insult our parents and threaten Gambians with death. You proposed
to have other ‘Parastatals’ together with Gamtel to continue financing the
losing proposition (GRTS).

The University. ‘Meme chose’. Just amalgamated institutions Jawara put there
and called it Yaya’s invention. Feel free to discuss the past. Just be
prepared to back up your rhetoric with facts.

If anybody, I think you are the people that CANNOT come to terms with the
fact that Jawara is no longer in power. You are the ones always LYING about
the man in order to make Yaya look good. Left to me alone, we would only
talk about Yaya since he is the one in power now and is the one that can
order the massacre of defenseless children and loot our coffers. Let us
focus on Yaya’s record, since you want to move from the so-called first
republic.

I am glad that your hopes and aspirations were dashed in the aftermath of
the elections. Your hopes of having a moron enslave our people will NOT
materialize. We will continue to RESIST Yaya and cohorts like you. We REFUSE
to suffer from ALES. We know we deserve better than child murderers and
thieves. We will fight until we get a leader that will develop the country
AND will NOT enslave our people and loot our meager resources. We will see
to an end to this sick mediocrity in Banjul.
