Sister Jabou ,
This is brother Ebrima and, of course, thanks million times for your swift
reply. Actually we tried to get you on the chat line last night/early this
morning, but to no avail. You are right, Jabou, I was looking at Sandra's
face when I accidently hit the wall.
Anyway, it was really great to hear from you and, for your information, we
are still keeping your share of the food for you.
Or shall we post it to you, as suggested by sister Ndey Jobarteh? Guess
what!! Dr Saine has kindly agreed to bring you a glass of my "lewal"
("attaya"), so that you can have a taste of it.
Truely, we had a good night at Ndey's flat yesterday, and it would have been
nice if such a wonderful sister like you was with us.
By the way, Dr Saine has spoken very highly of you, Soffie Ceesay and one
Kura Njie in Atlanta. Anyway, as Basirou Dodou Drammeh would often say:
sisters, keep up the good work down there !!
Karamba Touray and Ousman Bojang, Ndey has ordered me to invite you to come
and join us for tonight's get together. We gonna continue the get together
tonight. And believe me, it is going to be good tonight!!! Already, we have
a full house. The only invitee in Europe we are waiting for is Amadou
Kabirr Njie in Norway.
Brother Kabirr, I am instructed to tell you that we have reserved a V.I.P
seat for you with Concord for tonight's session. Just go to the Oslo airport
and ask for flight 730. They should give you your ticket, numbered 9000.
By the way, Kabirr, Saiks is kind enough to bring you some "Chakri" to Oslo,
Norway, if you miss the flight.
And guess what!! Dr Saine is going to cook the "palasas" for us, while
Saiks is cooking the "fufu". Wassa Fatty, a well known Pan Africanist and
Dr Adama Mboge have offered to make the "wonjo" (Sorrel). Zaya Yeebo, the
Ghanaian who wrote the book on the Jammeh Coup, titled "A State of Fear In
Paradise" is cooking the "Kenkeh" food for us.
And as usual, I'll be preparing/making the "Attaya", and needless to say
that I have also been ordered to do the cleaning afterwards.
Ebrima ceesay,
North London, UK.
PS: Jocelyn Touray, we are looking after Dr Saine and the rest of the crew
very, very, very well.
