My  take  on  Kebba  Jobe.
"My chosen  name  is  Kebba  Jobe.  I  am  A  FORTY  SOMETHING  year  old
man  from  The  Gambia.  I  am  a  well  educated  person  and  I  have
four  Kids.  In  my  country,  we  have  a  Government  that  has  made
many  blunders  like  killing  school  kids,  buying  electoral  votes,
intimidating  the  citizens,  killing  others,  jailing  some  and
threathing  to  bury  others  six  feet  deep.  The  president  of  my
country  is  a  high  school  graduate  and  had  no  further  schooling
except  for  a  two  year  stint  at  a  millitary  school in  usa.

I  am  an  engineer  by  profession  and  a  senior  civil  servant
working  for  my  country.  Despite
 all  the  blunders  and  killings,
this  government  has  built  many  schools,hospitals, roads  and  the
president  is  on record  to  even  give  part  of  his  own  personal
money  to  his  supporters;(money  that  God  gave  him).

What  my  opponents  dont  understand  is  that  I  am  not  related  to
Dumo, Lalo  or  any  of  the  civilians  or  soldiers  killed.  On  the
murder  of  those  school  kids,  none  of  my  kids  was  involved  and
none  of  my  relatives'kids  were  involve  either.  How  do  they
expect  me  to  understand.  Besides,  the  roads  and  hospitals  are
much  more important  than  the  lives  of  those  killed  so  I  wount
even  dwell  on  that.

My  opponents  ought  to  understand  that  as  long  as  yaya  does  not
lay  his  hands  on  me,  I  am  Ok  and  I  will  continue  to  expound
his  noble  deeds  for  this  country.

Call  me  incons
cionable  if  you  will,  but  we  all  have  our
priorities.  Mine  is  the  roads, schools, hospitals.  We  are  working
on  having  qualified  teachers  and doctors.  besides,  this  regime  is
only  seven  years  old.  In  america,  the  president  has  up  to  eight
years.  I  am  well  aware  of  the  atrocities  and   misguided
government,  but  i  have  my  priorities."

This is  what  Kebba  Jobe  ha  been  saying  to  us  all  along.  His
day  will  come.
