Brother Dave,
It is easy to say you are God fearing if you are living in foreign
country.Moreover,There is one in every thousand in the African continent
like Mandela.I can be in Finland here talking bull-shit but on my arrival
to the Banjul airport,I will deny if questioned.Is that God fearing?
Brother I am sure if someone offers you a ticket right now to go back home
and say all what you had been saying,will you be God fearing and do so?

Again you said it will be for family to grass than to do that job Tonbong
and others are doing? That is you own choice Brother men, but I will do
anything to see to my family's survival,Without them I am nowhere.Name
others and if you are God fearing, I mean does whose who have families on
the Net.
