Hey Guys,

What is the big deal about Jasseh-Conteh appending the title MBA after his name? The GRTS is daily referring to Yaya Jammeh as "Dr. Jammeh" and Zianab as "Lady Jammeh" or "Lady Zainab". If these two could be adorned with what ever title the GRTS deems fit, why in heaven's name can't Jasseh-Conteh add his hard earned title after his name? 

As director of the GRTS, Tombong should engage himself with more pressing matters of state than whatever initials one has behind his name. The recent indictment of Baba Jobe as a universal pariah by the International Community is a case most of us would want to hear about. The constant allegations of ID cards being issued to foreigners is another issue that perturbs most Gambians and as Managing Director of GRTS and a ardent supporter of the APRC, Tombong is the best placed  person to tell us what exactly is going on. Tombong is also in the position to tell us why the Jammeh Campaign site,  http://www.jammeh2001.org is in Minden, Nevada, U.S.A. and not in Dobung, Foni, in the Gambia. I wonder how many people in Nevada and on the internet are going to vote for Jammeh in October. There are so many, more important issues that Tombong can enlighten us on than Jassey-Conteh's MBA.

A mentor of mine once told me that the reason that Gambians are unique, is for the simple fact that ALL Gambians carry one of two degrees. One is TGC meaning "True Gambian Citizen" and the other is HGC meaning "Honest Gambian Citizen". The first we all attain by birth,  but the second is achieved by ones sincere and honest dedication to the country. The difference between the two degrees could be seen by the recent move of Musu Kebba Drammeh and my beloved friend Sahiou Ceesay. Could actions of these two True Gambian Citizens be really considered Honest and Sincere to the NATION?

As far as I am concerned, Jassey-Conteh can write the entire alphabet after his name as long as by doing so young and unarmed Gambian children will not get KILLED by it.
