I wish to appeal to us all to refrain from using offensive language on the L during the month of Ramadan. Ebrima Jallow was QUICKLY delisted by the List Managers earlier this week. He might have deserved to be de-listed but truly speaking, some of the words he used were picked up right here.

And his last words below before he was removed from the list do ring true about what he observed during the time he was here.

EBRIMA JALLOW WROTE:- >>>>"Since I came here, I have seen you people refer to Tombong Saidy, Jungle Sunrise, Yero Mama and Co as simpletons, clowns, prostitutes, to name a few. I have seen someone defile a married woman's name simply because she works for the government with sincerity. All the feloow got was a slap on the wrist by JUST ONE PERSON. That was a culture shock for me. Because I know how we rever our womenfolk in real life. To crown it all, you refer to the democratically elected President as a moron and idiot all the time. About President Jammeh's faults, well, no government is perfect. If you want to point out his flaws, then do it maturedly and honestly.">>>>>>

So brothers and sisters, can those of you opposed to the President and his team kindly refrain from using offensive nouns and adjectives when referring to the APRC Government and its' supporters during the Holy Month? This is a humble appeal.

I thank you all in advance.
Sister FJC.
