I can fully remember a quotation from one Ghanian writer that says:"mutual
>gifts strengthen friendship or existing bonds".This ofcourse can only be
>swallowed with pride by TRUE AFRICANS who are yet to be plunged into the
>drainage system of your unexamined literature.
>
>When someone jumps and strikes his keyboard only to tell me that receiving
>money from Jammeh is as bad as poison,i would wonder what it looked like
>for those who've been receiving such sums from our step dads,uncles,during
>the jawara era!? Atleast, even if Jammeh's is unwanted by some,its being
>received on the palms of those who may need to be assited. What we remember
>here is people who were pushing similar notes some years back into the
>pockets of very close family members.
>And others were left to bleed in the streets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>
>Jammeh is a president yes! but isn't he a gambian citizen that some of you
>knew at the Gambia High School corridors?( you said this to us anyway...).
>Where is the law that says presidents cannot give money to people?
>I knew this guy like some of you did and he has been giving money to
>friends from his meager salary during his army days!!!
>We do give money to people and some do even exhaust the western union
>forms! How reliable will it be,if you tell us that yours is clean?
>What money is more illegal than the one that some of you who receive or
>earn true fraudulent means? Ie:Got married and make children and then
>totally depend on the welfare(that is totally for your poor sbblings) that
>the Swedish Gvt,British Gvt,etc sends into your accounts in order to
>maintain these poor helpless wives and kids.
>How many gambian Alhajies,Ajaratous and business tycoons living abroad,does
>this childrens' social welfare money produce for us!!!?
>Some of you instead, use this money to marry more wives, purchase mini vans
>and turn themselves to "taxi bagages" or inter-state riders!
>
>The killing of children starts from your own homes because the money
>intended for such poor kids is being used for personal agrandissement!!!
>I wish these Gvts that are lodging you people,could start exercising the
>scrutiny you are calling for within your "offshore" families prior to the
>that imaginery Jammeh-APRC-judgement day.
>
>Some of the tadpoles around will say that this is PERSONAL!and start
>calling the list managers but please be proof-reading your stuff.From there
>you will see the mirror that gives you back the dirty image you receive
>from the APRC cohorts!morons!ha!ha!
>
>Mr.Karamba,who is more money-cultured than a guy like you? Tell me?
>Your mini van is constantly toiling around the premises of gambians not
>because of the fact you are very "hadamayaa" no!you are after money.
>
>Those families that you are castigating here and calling  to reject
>Jammeh's  money cannot wait for you to scratch their itching palms.
>I am sure if you have any monies now you will be thinking of SALAMATA and
>the kids(the two sweet daughters) and not those people receiving mutual
>gifts from their freind and fellow country man.
>They give Jammeh their love and inturn he gives them his by all possible
>means.President Reagan once said:"false plans on paece are better than
>effective plans that are ready to wage a war".Lullaby is not realistic but
>it allows babies the chance to pluge into slumber and ofcourse that will
>give mothers and sisters the chance to cook the meal for the "surgas" at
>the farm.In every Gvt the "surgas" are the workers.
>
>When those kids around latrikunda (the offsprings) of one of the late mps
>learnt that the money that was sent to them,following their father's
>tragic death was unilaterally rejected by some UDP militants for political
>motives like yours,they sobbed for almost a week at school.
>They sobbed because those very days they were sent home for failing to pay
>their school fees. You may call that school and find out.
>
>All neighbours were sympathetic and the gambian style of "kafung-kafung"
>was encouraged.Did you save those kids? Please do not tell me yes because i
>know the whole story and i am personally engaged on activities that will
>help those poor kids (thru a friend).
>Some of us do not blow a trumpet to justify that we help others no!Do it
>for the sake of God and full stop!
>
>Tombong Saidy:

>Please brother do not drag yourself into such unwarranted
>sour-jargons,thats all that these guys can do!someone's mother
>this,someone's
>father that!  Thats typical of the gambains in the old order and their
>offshoots.They killed phsychologically!
>
>Even in the Qur'aan the deepest part of hell is reserved for hypocrites.
>What is more hypocritical than being reminded by Europeans on this very
>forum that your country is moving on whilst you the ones who know very well
>that you cannot deny this fact are constantly smearing the Banjul Port with
>mud!!!
>
>The story: "students meet president" was clearly analysed by some objective
>guys on line but those of you who are hooror-maniacs can only entertain the
>pictures you dream of!!!
>Paul.
