"I wish to add that most coins except for the D50.00 coin minted in error, have two dissimilar images on their two sides WHICH are made from the same alloy. Admittedly, Freedom and Observer's ends are dissimilar. Their means are also dissimilar. Therefore they cannot be in the same coin."

 

Now Haruna you know what I meant, you know what I'm trying to say, this comment of yours made me laugh though.

   "I do agree with you however that Freedom's vocabulary, spelling, and sentence structure, leaves much to be desired. I hope Nderry can improve on those as he considers mitigating aversions and injury attributed to his work. He still has a lot of credibility left with me and I admire his genius and energy. I pray that God/Allah keep him and blesses him."

 

I'll admit that the Freedom Newspaper has a lot of potential, if they would take the advice of more experienced people in thier field, if they would learn to write more cogent, well-written, factually-based articles, and if they do make an error, to make a public retraction and admit that they've made a mistake (even well-known papers make mistakes).  

 

If they can do that, then they can get the credibility that they've lost from me, and perhaps others, though they'd have to speak for themselves.

 

As far as writing Pa Nderry privately on this matter, it seems that he is not open to advice or criticism from anyone, and it seems to me that if you write him privately and attempt to advise him and he doens't like the advice, you risk having some sordid story cooked up about you running as breaking news the next day.   (heck those of us criticizing him now probably risk as much if he's reading this on this list).  So I'm not sure I'd want to go that route.  If I thought it would help, if I thought he would change, then I'd gladly do it.  However, if memory serves me right, we've been down this road with Pa Nderry and his paper before, and all of the advice given him as to no avail, things have not changed over there!

 

Ginny
