Elhaji Fye,
I fully agree with all what you said. " A thief is just a thief ". In my opinion,
all thieves should be treated the same way. Some people has taken more than what
Ebou has taken, and we want to put a blind eye on them. I want to see them
attacked in any Gambian gathering, just as Ebou Jallow is being attacked. I made
it clear that Ebou owe us explainations, and i am not defending his action, but i
cannot digest that he is the only thief who owe us explainations. What about the
others ?
If you know who those folks are, what is stopping you from naming and shaming them.
It is equally your duty to the Gambian people to name those "bigger thieves" surely.
There is no bigger thief than Ebou, the guy is a creep, and he knows it too.
I told him two yrs ago that anytime he comes here with his shit, there will be
people who will be more than willing to shove it where it comes from, which is his poo hole.
Let Ebou give us a freaking break, oK??
Enjoy your Iftar, if you haven't already eaten

Jabou,
I fully agree with all what you said. " A thief is just a thief ". In my opinion,
all thieves should be treated the same way. Some people has taken more than what
Ebou has taken, and we want to put a blind eye on them. I want to see them

Jabou, you know that Ebou did not give me a penny on this amount. I repeatedly
said that i sympathize with Ebou, because of the antagonisms he faces within the
Gambian community. But let people understand that, one can only sympathize with a
friend / relative / whatever / when they face difficulties, but you cannot change
the process of the truth. The truth will always be the truth! I hope my fellow
G-Lers will understand my positon not to misjudge me. Frankly, I did not regret
joining the L, because i met with old friends, met with new friends and usually
get a lot of fun here. So, I highly appreciate this gathering, and also respect
their views on our debates. It is not always that we will see eye to eye on
issues, but it does make us to be enemies. Let us just disagree with respect, not
to creat enemity between us.
Happy Ramadan
Elhajj.
