Keep up the good work you are doing. I new Tombong was never serious in his so-called openess to discuss issues. Isn't this the same Tombong, following the murder of the school children who came on this forum to remind us of Yahya's generosity and benevolence, in that he had bought computers and a bus for the students. I still can't understand how such benevolence warranted the killing of the students.
Of course, it is Tombong's prerogative to answer who ever he chooses. What is apparent and clear of this grandeur return of this man, is that this is a PR exercise on behave of Yahya and the APRC. No amount of PR can change the truth.
He ignored the most important questions addressed to him by hiding behind the flimsy excuse that people are using fake names.
Well, since no serious debate is gonna come from Tombong, i for one, will not waste anymore time seeking answers from him.
One thing i know is that, ''ndeketeh daga kani la''. I'm sure Tombong is familiar with this saying for he once wrote an essay attacking the former regime's failings with the same title.
regards,
Mboge
