Great Review Bailo. I mean this man's prodigious tirades at SamEcho have
been so full of disguised animus and envy of fleeting fortunes for him its not
even a joke. But he's the Custodian of SamEcho. He must have drugged my friend
Sankara into a sleepless slumber. Once I visited the Echo and it was chock
full of spam from this idiot. The piece must have been 10 pages of nonsense
about "analysing" other people based on their aversion to him. I could not read
more than the first sentence. I had to friggin leave the Echo, a paper I
otherwise look forward to reading.
Thanx again Bailo for sharing.

Koto Haruna, Suntou et al,
The following quote in Lt Col Sam Sarr's own words is seemingly the evidence
justifying his non-sensical attempts to smear the image of Dr Manneh. Sam
wants the gullible amongst us to believe that Dr Manneh is a tribalist because
he, Sam, could not convey his message in Mandinka couple with the fact that
Dr Manneh referred him back to OJ in not a pleasant manner and finally
continued speaking in Mandinka.
What is apparent from Sam's own narration is that no evidence was in it to
establish that Dr Manneh did not support his (Sam's) passport application
becuase of not sharing the same ethnicity with him. Btw, how could any
responsible individual vouch for a total stranger who seems so desperate to acquire
such an important national document? I personally won't. Why did Sam not factor
in the possibility that the man was simply not having a good day on that day
he met him on the street wanting him to endorse his passport application. Was
Dr Manneh expected to know Sam at the time? I bet if Dr Manneh had
unreasonably consented to Sam's request, then Sam would not have attempted to tarnish
the former's integrity or question the genuiness of his earned and desrved
academic credentials.
"As a teacher in The Gambia I was once directed to our Parliamentary
Secretary Ministry of Education who then happened to be Dr. Manneh. I had urgently
needed him to sign my passport application form which Omar Jallow (O.J.) our
MP then would have easily done if he had not travel abroad. After missing Mr.
Manneh in his office, some one told me that he was seen at the Quadrangle and
that’s where I met him leaving an office. I greeted him in English and he
stopped and looked at me with so much intensity that I thought there was
something seriously wrong about him or me. He wouldn’t say a word. I still went
ahead and explained to him, still in English, what I wanted from him. He
started walking away and speaking Mandinka. I apologized to Manneh I couldn’t speak
the language. That was what did it. The man snapped at me before the eyes of
a big crowd telling me to get out of his face and wait for O.J to sign the
document for me. I couldn’t understand his behavior although I
was later told that he was generally very impatient with most people and
would sometimes use physical force just to make a point." (Lt Col. Sam Sarr).
In view of Ousman's conclusive evdence, Lt Col Sam needs to apologise to Dr
Manneh and retract his vain attempts of smear against him.
Best wishes
Bailo

Thanx Ousman for the effort. Even though I think Samsudeen was trained on
tribalism as opposed to benign fact-finding. To authenticate Suntou, you can
call the Alumni Association at Rutgers. A friend of mine, Mathews, Physics
Professor at Western Carolina, told me he knew of Momodou Manneh while he
taught
at Rutgers (Mathews).
I wouldn't honor Sam's idiotic query with any effort to prove him right or
wrong. Sam is not worth that time and attention to me. I am glad however
that
Ousman and Suntou are doing some fact-finding so Sam can cease soiling the
reputation of more honourable men and women than himself. He is doing all
this
in the hope of selling his rag of a book.
Haruna. Thanx again Ousman for sharing.

Suntou,
Here is an article posted on the Africana studies department website of
Rutgers University pertaining to Dr. Manneh. Money quote:
"The next person hired was Momodou Manneh, a PhD candidate in the Rutgers
Political Science Department (the first Black to earn a PhD degree in that
Department). Manneh, Bethel , and Weaver organized the introductory course
to the
Africana discipline (in 1971-72 the African and Afro-American Program on the
three campuses in New Brunswick became Africana Studies) and team-taught.
Manneh returned home to the Gambia , West Africa and became the highest
ranking
member of the Gambian Parliament, second only to the president of the
country."
The last sentence is definitely an exaggregation, but Dr. Manneh did pursue
a PHD at Rutgers.
