Makaveli: Well said. I couldn't agree more. I honestly concurr with your summary on Tombong. Kujabi. >From: Mr Makaveli <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: The Gambia and related-issues mailing list ><[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Re: I AM NO LONGER THE DG OF GRTS >Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2001 00:53:35 -0600 > >Folks, > I don't want to dwell on this issue, but I would like to get some sort of >closure to it if possible. The reason being is that you have to stop and >scratch your for a minute because deep down we all know these guys are >bunch of CROOKS to begin with. What Tombong told us is this - "My >APPOINTMENT was TERMINATED on Friday, November 1st." (Please note the >EMPHASIS-in caps). Now, I know many of you are good loving people and will >quickly forget that these were among many others who have hijacked our >country and put all of us in this misery, so I am taking a layman's stance >for a second here, and give my own interpretation of what he literally >meant. > >Without wasting any time, let's SCREW-tinize these keywords for a moment - >APPOINTMENT & TERMINATED. He(Tombong) also noted and I quote " This would >NOT however change my contribution to the Gambia-l and will NOT change my >views either." What contribution I ask? We in the opposition could care >less - because those misinformation never did us any good, am I not right? >Hang on ight folks. He(Tombong)puts it bluntly this time and here is what >he said in fine print in case you guys missed it, "I REMAIN a Pro-Jammeh >and Pro-APRC.

Some of us are tooooooo emotional. I'm >sticking to my guns! > >Speaking of EMPHASIS, let's examine the word TERMINATED for instance. It's >not hard to spell but let's look closer to what he I trying to say. Again >his APPOINTMENT was TERMINATED meaning - Tombong is no longer the DG of >GRTS. That's basically all of that in a nut shell - " I(Tombong) AM NO >LONGER THE DG OF TV". These were his exact words -not mine - not yours. So >again to a layman such as myself, he literally meant his APPOINTMENT as DG >is TERMINATED. That's NO news to those who saw it coming - Ebrima Ceesay's >sources already told us about that - even though Tombong ridiculed us at >the time name-calling us 'Dreamers'.
