Lamin, I think you just saved yourself time to utilize on other more important things. There is a reason why Haruna is now on Gambia-L. The same sinister that sent him packing from the L to the post, is the same sinister that sent him packing from the Post to the L. So, go figure. Remember, I mentioned tribal politics, this dude is the definition of tribalism and he has a malady of it. You are dealing with some of the worst tribalists amongst Gambians, at par with the Jasseh-Contehs of this world. As you know, Rashidiki has a name for Wolofs - Wawe Wawe people, and Wolofs are by no means alone. He is among the sickness that yielded us Yaya for another five years and believes in nothing but Mandinka rule after Yaya, to the point of entrenching Yaya in the process. One year after the elections, what is the "super majority" doing in the Gambia, as I write? Folks, there is a reason why PDOIS is still standing while the PPP is severely wounded, after being at the helm for thirty years. We allow the supremacists in the Harunas of the Gambia fester, we better resign to a date with Yaya to his natural death. One thing is certain though as breathing is to life, the Harunas of the Gambia will have to deal with some of us at every turn sickness and all. The good news here is while they preach tribal politics against the rest of the opposition, Gambians reject them for it. The Fulas and the Mandinkas may not have voted for NADD enmass, however, how come they did not vote for Hamat that thought all he and UDP needed was for that slick Henry Gomes to bring them the Ndjago/Catholic/Aku vote, for them to win? How come he lost everything? He plays the same game as Yaya and the APRC and that is no different with the UDP. The sad thing here is, the murderer with illegal power and ill gotten funds used that sickness to his advantage. In the end, Gambians that needed change for the better for all, end up being the losers because of those that sought change for their own selfish gains. Folks, just as we will deal with Yaya and the APRC tribalism, we shall also deal with any other tribalist out there.
As to the so-called intellectuals, let them continue to pray harder for a PDOISless Gambia. The only problem is they may have to pray for their natural life plus fifty years, for Gambians that understand the prerequisites of nation building will continue to demand a progressive Gambia and will fight to the end for it, no matter what the last name of the aggressor sounds like. In the interim, one can play games to infinity, only to be confronted in the end. Welcome to the L, Rashidiki! Some of us are still standing. How's funding "The Road to a Mandinka Rule in The Gambia Going"? Your attitude towards change in the Gambia will determine how long Yaya stays to abuse Gambians. By now you guys have seen the writing on the wall. If some of you have any ideas of picking up from where Yaya left in poisoning Gambians, I say you have just trippled your dilema, for you will have to go through Gambia first.
