Frankly, i think your question has no connection with the point i am trying
to put accross. But for your information i am not. I don't think that Baba
jobe (the one working for YAYA) will choose to use his real name on this
forum. What do you think?

What do i need to do to get my point accross, change the name Baba Jobe?

What if the Baba Jobe who works for Yaya decides to join the forum using his
real name. Does his name exclude him from constructive discourse on this
forum?

We should all try and practice the democracy that we all claim to want for
dear Gambia, and learn to discuss with people who have views at variance to
ours.

I think you should try and focus on the point i am trying to put accross
instead of worrying about whether i work for Yaya or not, which i think is
more important and pertinent to the cause of liberating the Gambia.

Shouldn't Yaya even be engaged in constructive discourse if he so chooses to
join the L?

Have a nice day.

Baba Jobe ( maybe i should change the name to something "politically
correct")

>>Thank you very much Sariang. I totally agree with the end results that we

>>But what is surprising is that  the majority on this forum tend to ignore

>>Let not our anger and hatred cloud our perspective and thinking.

>>For your information i do not support any political party in the Gambia.

>>If the people using this forum are not careful, they risk loosing the
