Brain of Gambia aims to enhance the information base of  participants and 
afford them the opportunity to yield value for other than self.  The questions 
will encourage learning by Research and information retrieval  or 
problem-solving. 
 
Participants will contribute $5.00 per month. This amount will  enable the 
participant and their immediate family (as designated by the  participant but 
limited to 3 per household) to participate in a monthly Quiz on  Ellen. The 
first participants will lay down the ground rules.
 
"bro harouna Al Rachied, yes it was an honorary degree from gambia  
University in cordination with St mary's college" Bourghibe.

 
Quiz #7. What discipline did Dr. Isatou Njie Saidy  receive a doctorate in? 
$5.00
 
Ans.: Ajaratou Isatou Njie Saidy did not receive a doctorate in any  
discipline. She however was accorded an honorary Doctorate by Bill Roberts,  Professor 
of Anthropology at St. Mary's College of Maryland.
 
Bourghibe, Your winnings in this question are therefore revised to $0.00  
Please adjust accordingly.
By virtue of it being answered, this question is now off the roll.
 
Quiz. #2. Name the tributaries of Gambia River from its source to the  
Atlantic. $20.00.
 
"the Nieriko from north and kuluntu(gray river  still empty thier  waters at 
the mouth of the River gambia so they can qualify as tributaries"  Bourghibe.
 
A Tributary is a stream directly issuing from a river. Tributaries  generally 
are created a result of:
 
a). Unsustainable meander of a stream - This is a temporal phenomenon in  the 
life of a stream because it is a pre-cursor to the formation of an  island.
 
b). Fissure through weaker rock in the direction of flow of the stream.  This 
phenomenon results in lake formations or conjoining streams.
 
c). A combination of unseasonal flow rate and banks that are lower in  relief 
than the stream basin.
 
A look at the course of the Nieriko and Kulountou streams will reveal flow  
from higher relief into the river Gambia. The Gambia River basin is the lowest  
elevation among its surrounding relief. A cursory look at their flow courses  
could reveal that their source is not The Gambia River. They empty into The  
Gambia River. I will do more research into these two rivers Bourghibe.  
Meanwhile, your winnings remain at $3.00. This question is still available for  
answers.
 
Quiz #4. How many docks and or berths exist(present tense) at the Gambia Port 
in Banjul? $10.00

"the number of docks/wharfs  are nine and can name them too- soffi walterr, 
maurel fress, maurel prom , UAC,  companie cfao, bartess, marine , waffi njaggo 
 government customs waff--  your question did not specify time period so I am 
right on the dot   maybe now i do not know -this were pre independence  time" 
Bourghibe. 

Bourghibe, you still have time to  forward a correct answer. The question 
needs the number of docks/wharves that  exist now at the Port in Banjul. It 
connotes Docks/wharves in good working  order. If you however give me the correct 
number of wharves and tell me which of  them are in good working order and 
which are not, that will qualify as the  correct answer. Not pre-colonial or post 
colonial docks/wharves.
Your winnings are still $0.00 on this question. I like your effort in  
sharing names of the wharves with us so you have now earned $2.00 of the  possible 
$10.00.
This question is therefore open to all colleagues for correct answer for  
$8.00
 
"remember i do not want any of the winnings"  Bourghibe. 
 
I understand Bourghibe. You are only participating to yield value for  Other. 
You have earned a lot for her already. Go all the way. If you look at the  
value attached to the questions, they cannot possibly make our participants rich 
 or they may not even be needed by the participants. However, the prospect of 
 doing another a good turn while at the same time enhancing the information 
base  of your colleagues seems to me a worthwhile endeavour. I appreciate your  
participation and I think you stand to be of enormously more value to your  
colleagues. Do not get discouraged. There will not be any changing of any rules 
 mid-stream Bourghibe. You and I will both aim to afford accurate and precise 
 information to enhance our information base.
