Folks,

At the turn of the millennium we were all preoccupied with emotions of the
negative things Joel and Bridgit Samuel wrote about the Gambia and Gambians.
I am sure most of us can remember this couple with their website theme "The
Gambia - No Problem". Joel Samuel, an American, who worked as a freelance
cameraman for GRTS and Bridgit, a German, who fell apart with her Gambian
partner decided to tie the knot when Joel was fired by Tombong Saidy. In
fact Tombong  called Joel a "Looser" and when the following quote came from
Joel, I realised that Tombong was right:

"I was given so many talents and yet I had never achieved very much, that is
not to say that I didn't try in the past, but I was always beaten down as if
another force was trying to just make me let go and give up of my inner
purpose."

When I read the above, I heard myself saying "Ndey-san". To know what became
of Joel Samuel, I refer you all to the link below. As you read his story,
please note that there is mention of the German Bitch. Also note that Joel
still has the Gambia at heart, for it is his dream to make an extraordinary
documentary featuring the life of a seven year old West African boy and his
extraordinary journeys with the boys family to find the source of The River
Gambia, one of the worlds largest navigable water ways and the many culture
he encountered."
