Teacher Gassama,
Yet again i wonder how you are allowed to keep your job at Gamtel. I struggled to understand your argument yet again. Please help me my most erudite Engineer with the criminal record from Canterbury.
You don't know zilch about me or many of the people you are debating with on this forum. It seems that your deranged and twerpish brain membranes forces you to churn out the most inchoate and incoherent squeals i ever heard. As it goes with all the APRC zealots, rather than defend there record on human right abuses, economic mismanagement and the various crimes they are perpetrating against my people, they tend to portray an image that all the people opposing Jammeh do not know about what obtained in the Gambia during the former government. Mr Gassa, i abhoured Jawara's misrule and abuses. I have always opposed Jawara and the PPP, however, in my book they fare much better than what we have now. We are all familiar with the plight of the late Femi Jeng and many others. We condemned the way Pa Hali Jammeh was harassed under the PPP regime and so on. Now tell me Mr Gassama, are you serious in thinking that those who deployed the bad governance and economic mismanagement of the Jawara years should applaud the thuggery of the buffoon posturing as president. Come on my teacher, come off the slumber. You can do better.
No sane person is disputing the need for investment in our fishing, energy and the various sectors in order to uplift the plight our people. Our worry is how does all these so-called investments fare on the day to day lives of the ordinary Gambian.
I am in a celebratory mood these days and i do not want your croaking to affect me. Why? because at a ceremony today at the School of Oriental and African Studies(University of London), I was conferred a BA(Hon.) in History and my certificate was presented to me by Lord Georfry Howe. I now join the growing number of Gambians educating themselves regardless of the hurdles they have to jump before they are successful. I am not showing off because i know you have more accolades but i am really a happy man today. No benefit from Jawara nor Jammeh. You are the one who benefitted from both systems.
I wish my fellow Gambians struggling to better their lot the all the best.
I hope and pray for a better Gambia where all talents are appreciated and allowed to blossom. I wish my people salvation from the savagery of the Jammeh regime. I pray that the Almighty deliver us from the hands of the brutes that hijack our liberties and freedom.
God Bless the Gambia and Gambians.
For Mr Gassama, i wish you yet another horrible and miserable day.
Mboge
