Ginny,
 
The comment of Nderry you shared may be the best submission that Nderry is  
not narcissistic or listless.
 
Haruna.

Hello, Omar, your perspective is interesting and worth  noting.  My take is 
that of a very far observer.  I'm sure my take  would be different had I known 
Pa Nderry.  All I can go on is what's in  his paper, and he's got many issues 
as I've noted before, so I won't rehash  them.

The best thing I've heard/read all day is the suggestion that if  we don't 
like his paper we just shouldn't read it, but methinks a lot of  people like 
juicy gossip, whether it's true or false.

I feel myself  aboutto segway into an unrelated topic, so will go for  now.

Ginny

take on  Pa. He's ambitious and he would go great lengths to get his names out 
there.  When he gets the story right, he's among the best. Those are the days 
when  you'd rush to the Westfield junction to buy a copy of the observer or the 
 Point, because he was capable of breaking a story to the two top papers in 
the  Gambia. I am talking about the days of Alieu Badara Sowe (Mam bowe I 
called  him), Bunja Touray (Ndokeh)of the Gambia Daily newspaper (is that paper 
still  around?), Demba Jawo, Sherif Bojang, Baboucarr Sankanu (my favorite 
Sarahule)  just to name a few.> > I remember having an after-work conversation with  
one of these honorable gentlemen, and Pa's name came up, and we both agreed 
he  needs to be a little bit more careful. Grant it I worked for a National 
public  medium at the time, and I loved it but I couldn't speak like Pa. But I 
always  wondered about his reports. His reports were very similar to the ones of 
the  late Momodou Musa Secka's (may his soul rest in perfect peace). Well 
M.M.  Secka, reported on hotshots he new very well and will definitely make money 
 off of it. He was guaranteed trouble -free even if the reports were not  
accurate. Things got better for him when he settle-in at the Gambia Daily. Pa  on 
the other hand was for the name and not so much for the money and that's  why 
he had more trouble with the authorities than most other reporters. I'd  
always confused him with greedy reporters, but again am even more confused  about 
his ethics as a journalist. > > Before judging him, I think we  need to figure 
out whether it is his natural habit to make stories up or  something else. If 
it is habit, can we teach an old dog a new trick?> >  PS. I know M.M. Secka 
is no longer with us. I didn't bring up his name to  disrespect him. My apology 
to anyone this comparison may offend. After all he  was a legend in his own 
way. My hat off to him.> > > > >  -----Original Message-----> From: The Gambia
