YOU CAN IGNORE THE LAST EMAIL AS ONE IMPORTANT PARAGRAPH WAS MISSING!

Oh My Gosh,

People will not just let me rest.

With all the warnings, people are still determined to continue spreading lies against Jabiyong Ndey Tapha Sosseh.

I know Gambians are addicted to the nasty "bring him/her down" culture but now those who ingored my humble warnings out of arrogance got what they bargained for:

Before people start spreading lies about my actions, I want all and sundry to note that I sent the last email I shared with Gambia -L to the International Partners and Donors of The Gambia Press Union (GPU) on my contact list last night with some small typo-related modifications.

I was about to jump on bed but the hypocrisy of the people fighting Ndey was so suffocating that I had to take it out of me before sleeping. So with a mouse click I sent the email and slept like a baby.

Today is a lovely day in Cologne, Germany. The sun is shinning. I have leger dress code with an African "chubb" shirt on. Half of the day will be spent picnicking with my associates along the River Rhine. It will rain in later.

I am NOT feeling guilty about about it and I am not regretting a thing.

If people think that they can fabricate lies (CCG, Skype, financial reports, etc) and blame Jabiyong Ndey Tapha Sosseh for the election defeat so the international partners can blacklist her, they got it wrong.

The international glory that the Gambia Press Union (GPU) has been enjoying for the last three years is the product of Ndey's sweat. She won the trust of the international partners and donors who have been supporting GPU.

Despite the barbaric betrayal meted on her, she accepted things and wished everyone good luck in good faith but her betrayers and noisemakers are still lying against her. LET JABIYONG NDEY BE FOR CIVILIZATION SAKE!!!

It is shame that some members of the Gambian media fraterniry who directly or indirectly benefitted from Jabiyong Ndey's personal and professional commitment to the common cause of the the Gambian media at home and in the Diaposa are keeping their asses shut. None of them even cared to say a word in defence of the truth. This is not about Ndey. It is about SINCERITY, my friends! I am not talking about the formal standard congratulatory messages. I am talking about challenging the lies being peddled to assassinate her character out of malice!

Consider my email to the International Donors and Partners of GPU as COLLATERAL DAMAGE of the fight they started. Now back to square minus ten. Let them win the trust and confidence of GPU's international partners and donors just as Ndey did.

They asked for it. I did not ask anyone to keep Ndey's messages away from GPU voters and lie about her last minute skype candidacy on the irresponsible outlets. I did not tell anyone to marginalize younger journalists. I did not ask them to lie about CCG when the GPU Constitution did not see it as conflict of interest.

Hypocrites: it is okay for other GPU Executives to be members/sympathizers of the ruling APRC and its organ (Daily Observer) and opposition parties like PDOIS and its publication (Foroyaa) but its not okay for Ndey to be part of any other civil society organization of her choice?

The Gambian double standard attitudes suck!

Those determined to finish off Ndey brought it upon themselves.

This is why Africa is lagging behind. They make noise about women empowerment but the few women who are ready to shine against all odds are finished off. They cry about the lack of real men and the few Alpha Boys who are ready to shift barriers are ruined.

Gambians are too hypocritical, too coward, too lazy and too ungrateful for my liking.

Now people can continue to spread their lies but it will have ZERO impact on Jabiyong Ndey Tapha Sosseh. The international partners and donors got my email and they can make rational judgement without being influenced by breaking news of lies, foot-dragging and other forms of hate propaganda.

Anyone who feels he is more powerful than God and he can use his online blog or off-line paper to keep bending or suppressing the truth, will be deceiving himself.

For, in the perpetual battle of sincerity versus hypocrisy, sincere prevails.

THE TRUTH HAS ITS WAY OF COMING OUT AND THEY SHOULD HAVE REMEMBERED THAT THE WALL HAS EYES BEFORE COOKING THEIR BETRAYAL AND FABRICATING LIES AGAINST A HARDWORKING LADY WHOSE ONLY CRIME WAS TO RELY ON PEOPLE WHO WERE SECRETLY SCHEMING TO HUMILIATE HER!

I do not care who you are, if you  fall victim to hypocrisy, I will fight for you until the last drop of my blood dries out. Collateral damages are part of it. I am a proud Dog of War Against Hypocrisy!

If some people can recall, I warned some lousy creatures that I am not their classes. His Serene Highness Prince Bubacarr Aminata Sankanu, The Fankama of Sankaranua is NOT your class.

Am one of the most liberal, tolerant, funny, compassionate and understanding Alpha Bad Boys you can meet under the sun but anyone who makes me angry or puts me on fighting mode will make me more brutal than the legendary General Grigori Potemkin, Field Marshall Montgomery, Tupac Amaru and other warriors combined.

In the Service of The Bitter Truth and Sincerity I remain,

P.S. For those who care to know, even though I am not an active journalist, I am a bona-fide Diaspora-based constituent of The Gambia Press Union. I am still keeping my old GPU membership card issued and signed by Mawdo Demba Jawo. It has been miraculously idling on my desk on these days (I can scan and email you a copy to verify). I am looking at it now, smiling and recalling the old days as a stubborn young reporter in The Gambia.
