Mr. Jobe,
    I don't think you really care about the welfare of
the Country.  You only support this regime for a
selfish interest.  How can you tell us not to
considered April 10 and 11, when 12 unarmed school
children are murder bright day light.  I think you are
the one who needs to get real and get a life.  It is
really disturbing to me to see folks like you coming
to this forum and defend this regime regardless of
what happen to those students.  Any of those students
can be my brother, your brother etc, etc.
    Some of us were on Yaya's side when he first take
over but doing what he is doing, no sound minded
person will support him except people like you and
Tombong who are only after their personal interest,
what a same!.  Just to let you all know, no condition
is permanent, What goes around, always comes around.
One day, your family will be treated the way these
innocent kids have and you will know how it feels.
    I have always been avoiding your comments but I
can't stand it any more.  This is just telling me
that, Gambia is becoming another Sierra Leone,
sacrificing human life for personal gain.   It will be
only you who tell us to forget about the April
incident, since even the monster himself try to ignore
it.
