Pa Nderry Mbai!

How stupid can one really be? What do you hope to achieve by sending this
brother's private email to you to Gambia-L. Can you really read and
comprehend? Don't get me wrong, I don't know this brother from Adam but I am
so angered by your Bullshit I have to get it off my chest for the sake of my
own health. This is not journalism, this is plain Bullshit!

The brother told you "...Each time i called you are busy on the phone, but i
would have love to discuss this with you on the phone rather than email.
Don't misconstrue any of these brotherly advice..." and you forward his
private email here under the heading:

"WE ARE HERE TO REPORT AND REPORT WE SHALL DO!!!!"

Bisimilai Jam!!!

You are so uncreative, so unimaginative, you think this "jotalli" garbage is
what is journalism. You cannot even coin two gramatically correct sentences
after another let alone put together a sensible piece.

The brother asked you to investigate and corroborate your info and be
responsible because what you 'jotalli' may hurt vulnerable Gambians and
other lower class legally and illegally resident immigrants in the US who
are just trying to secure a hold for their new borns, but who lack the means
imposed by a brutal capitalism that welcomes into this world every child
born in a "Third World" with a debt burden on its neck and constrained by
global apartheid system where any Westerner can just pack a bag and travel
anywhere she choses in minutes whiles Africans daily, risk their lives,
crossing deserts and seas with significant prospects of peril, inorder to
support those left behind in the "Bantustans"

When Prophet Mohamad was approached by an Angel with a message he told him:
"Read/Learn/seek knowledge!". He did not tell him "Preach!". Knowledge is a
prerequisite for preching just as it is for writing... So, I say to you
Read, my brother! Get some perspective, Pa Nderry Mbai.

Or are you too lazy for that? Easier to spew unrecycled garbage and pass
that for journalism? Daily, you continue to drag the name of this noble
proffession in the mud. "Freedom Newspaper", my left foot!

Here is a brother, giving you brotherly advise, in private, with leads that
if followed may yield a more informative and meaningful article, and what do
you do? Forward it to a public forum with prefacing it with:

"I will not be used and I will not hide anybody from the truth I am here to
fight a cause and if that means people are shamed that is up to them, if
they are honest they need not worry, here is a email sent to me recently by
none other than the good friend of yanks Mr Baboucarr Wadda when i ran the
story about Yankuba Tourays businesswoman wife Mamie".

Are you well? I am sure if the brother meant this for public consumption he
would not have volunteered info about immediate family and friends which he
did just to give you examples of issues you jumped at without grasping.

Having been an "apparenteh" at a Newspaper for a few years in the Gambia
does not make you a journalist. Get that in you thick megalomanic skull and
come off your  buffoonish self importance.

No Regard,

Kabir.
