Kebba Foon,
I feel deficient here. Since you lived at Kent Street , OKO-JABOU and
SOFFIE have been able to give the history of Afdie- Laugh.
I guess those of us who lived at Lasso Wharf, Anglesea, Clarkston and
Hopkinson which I believe was part of Banjul Central need someone to come to
our rescue.
What about Serekunda, Bakau and DEHGI?
Nevertheless, these are very good history lessons which deserves every bit
credit and needs to be narrated always.
Best regards,
Ablie Njie- LEKBI
