Abdoulaye & Joe:

I share your view on Mr..Charles Sam's advice to Gambians forwarded by
Gassama.Like you , i don't know Mr. Sam but his message is constructive, in
my opinion.Most Gambians lack the discipline of constructive criticism.It is
true that there is tribalism in The Gambian ,justice is not properly
dispense ,there is need for us to be more hard working ,  jealousy amongst
Gambians is rampant ,there is insincerity within us ,and mostly ,the self is
first before the nation. Sam may or may not be a Gambian but that is
irrelevant as far as i'm concern because i am pan africanist and that the
truth knows no boundaries.

We need more like Charles Sam to help move our country forward and Africa.

Beran
