Uncle Tom Mbong Saidy does not have the time to respond to our concerns here.

At this moment, I can just paint a mental picture of his Pajero moving
furiously through a cloud of dust as poor Uncle Tom Mbong furiously eggs on
his driver to drive faster so they can reach Kanilai before the sun goes
down.  Of course, Yaya, by now just plain disgusted with Monsieur Le
Directeur's cell phone side venture, has blocked his cell phone calls and the
only way he can get to Yaya is to go to Kanilai and literally get on his two
knees and beg for mercy.

Now, once he finally gets his dust coated vehicle and endlessly harangued
driver to the place in Kanlilai, he has to bribe the the dictator's body
guards to finagle his way through the main gate, and even after this
humiliating experience Le Ex-Directeur will have to wait side by side with
the throngs of locals to get to see Yaya.  Now, I am sure the locals know who
the  ex-Directeur is and have seen him on TV,. This will result in this
hilariously comical scene; a bunch of confused locals all staring at this
ex-big hitter with a seriously desperate look on his face waiting like a mere
mortal to see Jammeh.  Talk about being humbled!

Anyway, Uncle Mbong can take some heart in the fact that his boss, the
dictator Jammeh likes to be begged and worshipped like a lord, and therefore
after he goes through the humiliating experience in the manner described,
Yaya will give him another albeit lesser job with the condition that along
with Gassa he continues to be an APRC lackey on the L.
