Guys:
Thanks for your comments.

It is obvious that our country does not have its priorities in line as it
pertains to allocation of the budget to different sectors.  For example, we
all know that it cost many thousands of Dollars to fly a jet plane, prolly as
much as Gambia High School is getting yearly.  This is simply ridculous.
137,5000 Dalasis equates to about 8,000 Dollars.  It is therefore alarming to
learn that the these thieves CUM philanthropists can give the equivalent of
rougly 400,000 Dalasis or 20,000 Dollars to some sycophants in NYC as opposed
to poor students back home.

When i hear of the brilliant blind youth at Nusrat who cannot go to school
because of a lack of funds, I am deeply moved.  Why?  Because I can see what
an education for this man could forseeably mean for the impaired students of
our country.  However, those who seized power forcibly cannot see this.  Why?
 Because they don't have the wherewithal to do the right thing for the youth
of our country.

I knew from the beginning that a bunch of army lower rank and file will NEVER
have what it takes to lead our country forward.  'Masla' and respect my ass!
