Fatoumatta you seems to be petty and vcery folish, excuse me for my language
G L readers. You better get a life and stop this low life. If you have a
beef with the Freedom Newspaper, you better email its editor and sort out
the matter with him than making unsubstantiated allegations. Or I you
another liar on the GL to accuse people without evidence?? You have been
running your hate mouth against these young committed and dynamic Gambians
interested in empoweing our people through their medium. What is stopping
you from launching a pro-J

By the way, how is life in DC? I hope you are coping.  Lamarana Jallow could
be your relative. Or you wanna dispute this? This is not time the first that
the mouthy F Jallow has been accusing people without proves. You have
reduced yourself as a towncrier in our mids. You don't mean to tell me that
you writes better English than these folks at Freeom? Double check the
gramatical flaws in your postings and spelling mistakes. Shame on to this
Gambian DC girl. Guess what, stop throwing stone when your are in a glass
house. We know you and don't provoke Essau to profile you. I don't have time
for your nonsense. You owe an apology to Pa Nderry and Essa Sey. You seem to
have a complex for these people. Period. Read me with an open mind. Chi
Jaama Sister!!
