Thank you Ma Yero.
The GDP's strength and survival will rely on you, Demba, and your associates
of Gainako, your family, and friends. I encourage you to grow with us.
1. AGERA is Atlanta Gambians Emergency Relief Association.
2. The vision and aims of AGERA are laudable and valuable to the Gambian
community in Georgia. I maintain residence in Georgia therefore I am in full
support of the idea of AGERA and I encourage all Gambians in Georgia and other
states to support AGERA. I also encourage AGERA to better communicate with
members of all Gambian communities. A website and effective PRO can go a long
way toward that.
3. The communal posture of AGERA does not lend itself to competition by
private ventures such as The Atlanta Soccer Legends.
4. I think GFAA should necessarily be part of AGERA. I encourage my friends
Lekbi and Sylva to consider such. I thank them for inviting me to their very
successful events and even though I promised to donate and participate in
those events, sobriety and due diligence advised me otherwise. My encouragement
of them and participation could could widen the semantic divide and impress
bias. And I must not be biased toward GFAA at the detriment/expense of AGERA. I
was very close to yielding to GFAA when I was briefed by AGERA. Knowing as
much as I know now, and my encouragement of industry and enterprise
not-withstanding, I may not support an independent and private GFAA. I will support it
wholeheartedly when it becomes part of AGERA. I will present myself at one
or two events of AGERA this weekend if possible and I will always maintain a
supportive disposition toward AGERA. I encourage you and your friends in
Minnesota to form M'GERA if you do not have one already and link it to AGERA.
Likewise Carolina Gambians, DC Gambians, Washington Gambians, NY Gambians, BAMA
GAMBIANS, etc. You get my drift. All these communities could be overseen by an
umbrella Diasporan organisation that will work hand-in-hand with The
GPU-USA, and other professional Gambian organisations such as the Gambian Medical
Association, Trades Union, Gambian communities in other nations, Gambian
Farmers Association, etc. There will be tendencies for the organisations to be
highjacked by one or more political factions or parties. I strongly discourage
that and that must be resisted by all Gambians.
5. An organisation like AGERA and other such organisations, are an integral
part of The GDP's vision and project implementation. Likewise the Senegalese
Community, The Guinean community, The Georgia (USA) community, The Malian
community, The Sierraleonean and Liberian communities, and more recently The
Malawi community to encompass the African and Global communities.The people of
AGERA and Gambia, are constituent stakeholders in The GDP. Therefore, I can
only support and encourage AGERA.
Not only that, I must discourage the dis-ease and dis-jointing of AGERA and
like communities.
6. I am duly informed that Lekbi and Solomon are meeting with AGERA to lay
the groundwork for incorporation. I commend Lekbi and Solomon for this attitude
and for solace, I share the following:
Sometimes a temporal disagreement and disaffection could be a spur for more
comprehensive community. It has a tendency to refine and open the creativity
and industry of unique members to the organisation as a whole. If Lekbi and
Solomon were not disaffected, GFAA would not have been formed. The danger that
Lekbi abd Solomon must resist, is have other disaffected persons to turn the
temporal but useful disdain into more permanent animus and diminished
fortunes by duplicating all aspects of AGERA. Lekbi and Solomon must prevail on Njok
and Kara disband The Atlanta Soccer Legends in deference to improving and
expanding the existing soccer team under AGERA sponsorship. De-minimis,
discourage the duo of the Legends from taking a competing posture. The re-union of
GFAA in AGERA itself portends a brighter and adjusted future for AGERA. I
encourage the AGERA executive to meet with GFAA with that recognition. It may
not be business as usual at AGERA because the success and vision of GFAA and
its potential does threaten AGERA and communal cohesion.
Yero, Suntou, Galleh, JDAM, Fye, YayiNana, or other, please feel free to
share this with our friends at the Mighty. I will endeavour to multi-address
such commentary like you beautiful people do. I think there is merit in't. Thank
you for listening and in Advance of your forwarding to the Mighty.
Most Sincerely,
Haruna.

Bro Haruna,
Good speed there!
Good luck to you and the GDP.
What's up with your folks in Atlanta on AGERA?
It looks like some unplesant breeze has been blowing recently.
I am just catching up on their debates.
Make sure you prepare the GDP for days like the ones observed.
Thanks & stay blessed!!
