Pa: No, i have no word on Sariang's dismissal. I am of the feeling that,
Buba has been appointed for political reasons, and he could serve as an
impediment for independent journalism at the Observer.
By the way, "i feel you" is a slang, meaning i understood, agree with you
etc( sorry for losing you)
Good one.
Harona.
