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!
