Thanks Dr Jallow. I am not surprised you feel obliged to come out this way.
It was much anticipated. Notwithstanding, I maintain my position.
And thanks for respecting my right to say it as it is.
Cheers
Daffeh

concerned - and in this case I know better since I am the author - Heyhey
Nopilen is not meant to depict Halifa Sallah for whom I have great respect.
So Daffeh, no cover blown here yet. Perhaps you may want to try again?

doubt the real name of the character you depitched is Halifa Sallah, the
self proclaimed Grand Ayatollah of Last Bundung. What you summed up in this
article is a character full of grotesque narcissism and personal
grandiosity and that is, without a doubt, plainly and truely Halifa Sallah.

hearing his bogus rantings. At such times, we averted our gaze and looked
at other interesting characters in No-Talk Republic, the likes of Hotfoot
Coldy and Wawaw Daydate. Such characters added flavor to our mix and often
offered what amounted to free entertainment in No-Talk Republic by their
curious actions and wayward ways. But above everyone else, we liked to
watch the famous Heyhey Nopilen display his legendary skills of speech and
choice regarding just what would happen in the future life of our country
when Gyant DaMidget grew so old and tired that he would have no option but
to fall by the wayside and allow time to march on.

acknowledged the great depth of his learning and recognized the great
facility with which he espoused his various theories and swam in the deep
blue sea of knowledge like a fish puffing up the water once in a while,
diving this way and that, and often jumping sky high and plunging back in
with admirable dexterity. He reminded us of the great whale in Moby Dick as
he swam alongside the ship of life and made it known to everyone that he,
Heyhey Nopilen, was an invincible guy whose word was gold and whose sight
was silver. And we all knew that he was not bluffing because he took all
the time he needed to put things straight and chart just the course that
the world must follow in order to avoid all future dangers and march on to
the great promised land of perfect peace and abiding glory. On to Berlin!

those great orators of history who moved mountains with their words of
wisdom and stopped hurricanes with a wave of the hand.

credentials. He held a Bachelor of Tights Degree in Loose Studies from
Quarrel University, a Master of Shoves Degree in Pushaside Techniques from
Bottleneck University, and a doctorate in Advanced Dislike Erasing
Techniques from the world famous University of No Studies. He also held a
string of advanced graduate and postgraduate certificates from universities
as diverse as Chuut College, the University of Rural Dreamland, and Fahasu
Community College. When he got especially motivated in one of his
interesting presentations, Heyhey Nopilen wasted no time in outlining all
his academic qualifications from these great colleges and universities and
reminding his audience that he knew what he was talking about and that he
understood his topic more than anyone else in the world, even his former
lecturers and professors who introduced him to the world of advanced
academia in the first place, not to mention impudent and ignorant upstarts
who pretended to be wise. He particularly disliked Genamin Gyant DaMidget
