"Tombong, I hope your statements are directed to people like Musa Jeng that
used vulgar, private anatomical terms to put their points across. Jeng
should be ashamed of himself for addressing Hamjatta the way he did"

Mr Dampha:

I have never used a vulgar term to put a point accross. The "Penis envy syndrome" is a psychological term of
wanting to be like somebody. I respect both Hamjatta and Halifa, and myslf of course to get into name
calling.
Mr.Dampha, interestingly, you seem to know me very well, and thank for the compliment,
reminding anyone from Kaur about Dandimayo is the highest compliment.

Musa Jeng
