Hello Mr Mbaye,
If certainly what my opinion can give me as to what I do read in your
posting in Gambia L, you are among my favorite writer.You have a command
of the language and you speak right to the current event happening in the
Gambia.You make us enlighten and make us breath with issues that is
affecting the Gambia.You are among the few that are ready to expose Yahya
Jammeh and his folks.You are a report that is with courage to report
issues and this makes your report more credible.
As for Augustus Mendy who writes to counter your reporting style and
asking you to read more to enhance what your post on the web.Let me tell
you one thing about this Augustus Mendy.He is also a "butt leak-er" for
the AFRC regime because he is Yahya's ranger in the army.He is among the
graduates of 1997 GCE O' level at Gambia High school with the least grades
among hundreds.He has no self-direction and things he knows every
thing.Ask every graduates of Gambia High School in 1997 at the morning
shift who is Augustus Mendy?I am not surprise even the lunatics are
supporting Yahya and his jungle government to stay in power.
Mr Mbaye if what urges me to log onto Gambia L every hour daily is get
hurry to open your posting together with Mr.Ceesay's.You have facts about
the Gambia that make us to widely speculate wow how great can he get this
info.But I have to salute to you and encourage you to do more than you can
to keep us post with issues in the Gambia.You can't tell for certain how
prudent your posting means to thousand of readers.Gambians home and abroad
are counting on your professional writing to pursue Jammeh in all degree.
I am so happy that you entertain critics and this will make people to have
much trust in you in what you stand for as leader of journalist.Stay
strong and you are my favorite writer.
Thanks

OPINION What Our Readers Say Letters to the Editors
---------------------------------
December 10, 2005
RE: I Travelled From Banjul to Sweden Without a Passport -Says Elhajj Fye
as he Exposes President "Jammeh and his Corrupt Gov't"Dear Editor,
Once again please allow me a space in your news paper to express my
opinion and doubts to the above story that appeared a couple of weeks ago.
I read this online web every day even though i do not agree with some of
the stories. After reading this story i asked myself thousands of
questions. What does the President or Yankuba Touray has to do with this
issue?
Ofcourse the government of the Gambia maybe wrong for keeping his passport
but there maybe thousands of reasons which you (Mr.Editor) and i did not
know. If Mr. Faye was granted any kind of help he would have taken it and
since this was never done he decided to sit on the other side of the fence
to expose the president for his own personal problems. He has to fully
understand that just because he gave Yahya Jammeh a ride back in the days
and him being a famous business man does not mean that things has to be
the way he wants. The decision of the court of law has to be considered
and if he is absent the Judge will ofcourse rule in favour of the other.
Mr.editor these are some of the reasons why i am always questioning the
credibility of your paper. If I were you before publishing this story I
would ask for some more evidence (bill of sale for the said Car). How can
you justify this story, that the other party was totally wrong? Common
sense should have told you that if you signed a bill of sale and a down
payment of D12, 000.00, how comes would he pay D20, 000? Did you ask him
that question or has common sense, honesty and ethics of journalism failed
you?
Do not get me wrong i like your endeavours in writing but you need to read
a little bit more to understand the job you are doing. That's is because a
lot of people are questioning about the credibility of this paper and that
can lead you to loosing the trust and respect people has for you because
in anything you are doing, you should never forget to make sure that it
falls within the four corners of respect, Dignity and trust. So always
balance your stories, that is one of the most important things you should
remember in journalism. Thanks
Augustus Mendy OPINIONMr. Mbaye,
kindly let me borrow some space to voice my concern about the way you've
turned your website into a Gambian tabloid newspaper. I think you
certainly do not know the fundamental virtuality of professional writing
and journalism in particular. I believe you have broken every rule in the
book of professional Journalism by sometimes reporting issues that are of
no importance to the cause of the struggle or the Gambia in general. I
would like you to sometimes give us more educational developments about
the Gambia, having in mind that not all your readers are politicians or
are interested in politics. I'm sure come 2006, there is nothing you can
do for NADD when they need you the most because you won't be able to vote.
"Salut" and I hope you can follow the ethical guidelines of journalism or
stop calling yourself a professional journalist. TABLOID TALK is a better
definition of your writing hobby. Thank you
Matarr Sillah
