Muhammad:

Thanks for saving me some time to respond to the garbage that the UDP jola 
wulu’kee has posted here. Kujabi’s type does not merit respect. He and some 
of his UDP maniacs launched a relentless attack on the person of Halifa 
since Darboe walked out of NADD. At first no one responded to them, next 
some people tried to reason with them to stop the attacks, all this in vain. 
Each time you think they’re in hibernation, they rear their ugly heads.

Instead of moving on and taking up their fight with Jammeh, they turned 
around to cast aspersions at Halifa and the other NADD executive members. A 
perfect case of misplaced priorities, if you ask me.

I will ask Kujabi a few questions and I only hope that he will have the 
decency to answer them, truthfully:

1. Had Darboe been elected the NADD (NAAD to use your foolish acronym) 
flag-bearer would the UDP have questioned the registration of NADD with the 
IEC?
2. Would you still have referred to the MOU ‘just as paper’?
3. Would your party have walked out of the coalition?
4. Would you have been attacking Halifa had he been the first person to 
endorse Darboe as presidential candidate or had he left NADD to join the 
UDP?
5. Should the UDP contest the presidential elections after it boycotted the 
last parliamentary elections based on the reason that the electoral system 
in place cannot guarantee free and fair elections? Remember, the 
Constitution is still the same.  Actually, it has only gotten worse under 
the knife of the inept APRC parliament.
6. Regarding Waa, would you have castigated him as a drunk if he had still 
been with the UDP, running behind Darboe, and getting arrested and tortured 
for challenging the government? Remember he was with your party for many 
years, yet you and your people never questioned his morals and integrity, at 
least in public.
7. Why has the UDP not addressed your attacks against Halifa when, according 
to your lies, it once held a Central Committee meeting to ask Waa to stop 
attacking Halifa? Don’t you see the double standards, if only your version 
of events is true?

Kujabi, respect is earned. You initiated this exchange out of the blues, for 
a reason best known to you. Some of us got fed up with your bulldog behavior 
and decided to respond to your antics. Now you turn around and label us as 
‘attack dogs’ and being rude. You now accuse me of belonging to a gay club. 
Maybe, you should talk to your ex-wife, the one who ran away from you and 
she’ll tell you a thing or two about our gay club.

You question Halifa’s performance in parliament. Are you for real? Where 
have you been when Halifa challenged these obnoxious laws or some government 
actions and policies? Where were you when he voted against such bills? Doloo 
bula, kee!!

You said power belongs to the people. Is that right? Apparently, you’ve just 
come to learn this fact. You also said that power is ‘irrevolvable”, 
whatever that nonsense means.  That’s common knowledge for all genuine 
democrats, Kujabi. Inducement, tribalism and ethno-centrism do not hold sway 
in this modern world.

Just look at the words you’ve used in your gibberish article to describe 
Halifa: “jack of all trade”, “chief clerk”, “prominent lawyer”, “arrogant”, 
and “selfish”.  Then you tried to be slick by saying that you do not hate 
him. Do you know who is arrogant? Your “toppest lawyer”, Darboe.  He 
believes he has a divine calling passed on to him by his grandfather to rule 
The Gambia.  It is on record.  I urge you to listen to some of the 
statements your leader made about NADD prior to his exit.

Your leader believes, even after failing twice to unseat Jammeh with the 
help of the NCP leftovers such as Jasseh Conteh and some disgruntled PPP 
militants, he is still the only person who can rule The Gambia. Here we go 
again with a revival of the age-old mansa mentality, only this time it is 
sprinkled with a dose of Julayaa.  That’s arrogance at its peak! You accuse 
Halifa of being selfish. Wait a minute! Egoism and selfishness is when a 
person abandons his flock to the mercy of wolves in order to save his life! 
It is when a person refuses to pass the cup around and holds it in his hand. 
Gorgui, aduna potti ndaal la!

Kujabi, the nominations have already taken place. Time is running out. You 
have your hands full. As we speak, Kafuta and its environs are in a state of 
fear from the onslaught of the MFDC rebels across the border.  Your 
relatives are poring across the borders. As we speak, Yaya is intimidating 
and inducing people to vote for his decadent regime.  While we are at it, 
Darboe is already contemplating his next escape route. This time it may be 
the Mauritanian Embassy! Time is running out, Kujabi! Concentrate your 
virulent attacks on your brother Jammeh and his rabid NIA. Halifa is the 
least of your priorities. You claim that you have the numbers; then play by 
them. It’s because of your numbers that Darboe was elected twice as 
president.  Or was he?  It’s because of your numbers that the UDP has a 
majority in parliament. Irony of ironies! Just don’t forget the Kafuta/Kombo 
East debacle that you have thumped your little chest about so frequently.  
History is a lesson. By the time the sun sets on 22nd September, you and I 
will have another chat.

By the way, are you able to pay your rent now because I know in the 1114 
Fteley avenue days that was not one thing you like to do, hence the reason 
you moved to Alagie Njie's apartment.

>Demba, you described me as one of the ill informed and

>You seem to be close to Halifa and the events that

>You ignorantly muddied the waters as you desperately

>you are as informed as you claimed to be, and as newly
>educated a man who understands every English word that
>Halifa uttered, how come you did not know that Halifa
>and Seedia's arrests happened in only a couple of days
>after the July 22ND coup-DE-tat in 1994 and not in
>1995 as you claimed. You also claimed that I am ill
>informed about the political events in the Gambia.
>Well, "Maudo Demba" you should have named me at least
>one or more events that are currently going on in The
>Gambia that you think I am not aware of. You clearly
>don't know why Yaya Jammeh sent Hamat, Oj, Halifa and
>Waa to jail. It was not at all about the open letter
>Halifa wrote on behalf of NAAD. It was an exercise of
>power that Yaya has always been proud of. Mr. Newly
>schooled, didn't Yaya promise on National TV that he
>WILL GIVE THE OPPOSITION A KORETEH "KORITEH GIFT"?
>Didn't he say that before their arrests? Did you not
>belief him? You must be out of your mind if you would
>not have believed in Yaya's craziness. Yaya was
>determined to send our brothers to jail anyway,
>regardless of how good or bad the evidence were. I
>wonder what new school you attended Demba? Meanwhile,
>you have made it abundantly clear that your only
>influence about Halifa is the GOOD ENGLISH that he
>speaks. No wonder why you just cannot connect the
>dots right. You don't measure one's seriousness by
>the good English he or she speaks, rather, the sense
>behind the good English. You must have been busy take
>note of every English word that Halifa uttered at the
>Seattle meeting. I can also imagine how you could be
>easily carried away by any GOOD ENGLISH speaker, if
>you should sit on a decision making table.

>Mr. new school, I am particularly disappointed that
>with all your faithfulness and ambition for Halifa
>presidency, you are not even aware that on the May 20,
>2006 Halifa made a usual irresponsible press release
>regarding the Kombo East by-election in which he
>cowardly pointed an accusing finger at me for NEW
>PDOIS(NAAD)'s humiliating performance in that
>election. What kind of English graduate are you
>"Machudo Jola"?. Do you want to tell me that you can
>only understand Halifa's spoken English but cannot
>read his writings. You questioned if I cannot
>understand the English when I read Halifa's writings.
>It is evident to every one now that despite the fact
>that you are so close to Halifa, you still cannot
>read his writings.!!What a shame on you "Caw Demba".

>You alleged that "UDP has made blunders that will lead
>it to committing political suicide, and that we have
>been all over the map on the issue of unity, that
>first it was lack of trust, second a mistake was made
>by agreeing to be equal when we are not equal".
>Demba, if ever UDP and NRP leaders have made any good
>decisions, the withdrawing from NAAD was the best they
>could have ever made under the circumstance, and if
>that is what you consider to be a political suicide,
>then you dont know what politics is. NAAD was never
>meant for Ousainou and Hamat,and no matter who says
>what at what given time and place, Hamat and Ousainou
>have the same view regarding now NEW PDOIS(NAAD)Party.
>I know for fact that I personally can mentor you in
>politics for the rest of your life and you will not
>get to the tip of my finger. You should not worry
>about UDP/NRP committing political suicide. In fact,
>you should be happy about that because that will pave
>the way for your god-father to take the reigns of the
>country. Demba, you really sounded ridiculous when
>you crowned Halifa as the most principled and
>consistent politician The Gambia has ever witnessed.
>You can't be serious, and I hope you're not. Demba,
>it is about time you tell your arrogant and selfish
>Halifa in the face that now is the best time for him
>to do away with his ill conceived principles just for
>the sake of The Gambia, and until you NEW PDOIS(NAAD)
>can do that, you better sit down and short your lousy
>mouths. There you are not able to contain Halifa as
>he play himself into the hands of Yaya Jammeh. If
>Halifa's arrogance and selfishness is what you call
>principled and consistent, then you need to go back to
>school Mr. New School and have someone work hard on
>your mind, because you are far from being ready for a
>mature dialogue. When Halifa's selection was
>announced, you wrote an article on Gambia-L, titled
>"Halifa Sallah once in a life time opportunity" asking
>where can the African continent find some one like
>him. While you are entitle to your opinion, your
>perception about the NEW PDOIS(NAAD) popularity in The
>Gambia clearly defines your total ignorance about how
>are being fooled by your traitors on the ground,
>telling you pep talks. "Machudo", every political
>party, with the exemption of "NDAMBUSAN" has
>originated from a representative of all sectors of
>Gambian political spectrum. UDP is the best party
>emulate in that regard. When are you going to wake up
>from your drunkenness and see the truth for yourself?.
>If UDP/NRP Alliance is a camp of losers, what is NAAD
>then, "Macchudo" Demba?
>
>I want to make it clear to you that UDP/NRP Alliance
>is the the only credible and formidable opposition in
