Tombong, That's a step in the right direction (equal air time for all parties.) Not that it will matter AFTER the APRC is done rigging the process from registering aliens in the current Voter Registration exercise to the type of Ballot Box swapping that obtained the last time. On Conteh's MBA: I have to say that I'm really disappointed in you about Comrade Conteh's MBA issue. I was expecting you to apologize to him after he had refuted your accusations. Conteh supplied us the info about his school, and all you need to do is call the school to verify his claim. So, I'm really shocked that you're still peddling the false info that he doesn't possess an MBA. That's totally un-called for. Let's criticize each other fairly. As an advice though, I believe you'll do yourself a big favor by taking what Malafy (Mafy) Jarju aka Jerreh Yaya AJJ Jammeh tells you with a pinch of salt. 'Cause I have no doubt that you're swallowing garbage fed you by Mafy about his homeboy Conteh. The last time he Mafy surfaced here, he came after me for the same reason. And he just couldn't be further off the mark. It's true that far too many Gambians in the West are not engaged in forwardly-looking ventures, or investments in their own futures. For some reason, there's a shameful complacence with mediocrity (dead-end jobs, paycheck to paycheck, etc.) That's no real secret. But, it's simply untrue that many of us who constantly criticize Yaya Jammeh's madness are doing so out of spite and envy. The idea that we're living frustrated lives in the West, and thus are lashing out at y'all is totally preposterous. It's NOT true and YOU TOMBONG knows that! So, please drop this MBA thing. Even if Conteh doesn't have an MBA, does that disqualify him to criticize your govt.? Are we now supposed to set a criteria that in order to be able to qualify to criticize Jammeh, one HAS TO HAVE a college degree? In that case, how about setting a criteria that "one has to have a college degree to run for President. Or an established family life -compound, wife and kid(s.)" Would that be acceptable? Omar Drammeh said it best when he asked you what you're "trying to proof?" I can't believe you're still talking about the man's MBA or lack of it. Call the school and tell us what you found. Otherwise, let it go! And on a final note, just realize that you and Mafy are on Yaya Jammeh's side for very DIFFERENT reasons. You're in it for good-old self-preservation. Mafy is in it for nothing more than naked TRIBALISM! He's one of those low self-esteemed Jola people who before Yaya won't even speak Jola in public. Yaya's emergence has given him a boost in that direction. So, no matter what Yaya does to the rest of the country, Malafy will be behind him! If Yaya Jammeh were to give Tombong Saidy and his wife and kids the "Koro Ceesay treatment" tommorrow, Mafy Jarju won't hesitate to come here the next day to defend that action. Remember the case of his kin Lt. Landing Sanneh? You can tell Mafy was angry at Lt. Sanneh for betraying the tribe. So be warned. You can call me what you want, or dismiss advice this as bs. But in your heart of hearts, YOU KNOW what I'm saying is true. So, I rest my case. Good morning.
