"Being responsible sometimes means pissing people off." HI
and now LO
Collins seems to have been royally pissed off by our honest
interest in
ensuring that our farmers are not, again, buffaloed by Yaya
and his parade
of companies-come-to-save-our-economy, to threaten us. I
take it that you
and your company did not investigate or do a feasibility
study on the Gambia
before "investing" in our country? Or, were you guaranteed
ease of market
entry and monopoly by those not averse to having their
pockets greased?
Given the groundnut buying fiasco of the past, any six year
old just
learning about needs, wants, and responsibility understands
the prudence of
investigating an "investor". I think your company and any
company for that
matter, with "good intentions", has been served notice that
we won't engage
in a wait and see game when by the time we have gathered
enough facts, it is
too late. An evolving population cannot afford to be
complacent and we will
remain passionate, responsible, vigilant, and combative for
Gambia, nothing
against you, if you can understand it.
