Hamjatta, KB,Saul, Ceesay, Sanusi et al,

thanks for debunking myth-maker 'Jobe'.  Keep it coming. KB, i agree that putting this freakish oaf pretending to be a reasonable patriot within the ranks of those types who normally appear in the 'Weakest Link' is being too generous.  He is infact an inchoate piffler who waffles and churns out redundant and ludicrous arguments in defence of 'plunker' Jammeh. 

This time the Good is a harsh Goodbye,

Regards,

Mboge 

P.S Hamjatta, The Australian G. Robertson QC does ring a bell.  Pinochet knows something about him.  Your insights on how these intellectual prostitutes pilfer ideas from others and pretend that it is theirs is excellent.  Vision 2020 is a carbon-copy of Jawara's 'Singapore dream'.  Brother Good luck.

See you soon.
