No Mr Gassama. I'm not trying to convince you of anything. You are far, far beyond convincing. Deep in your heart, you know that the blind loyalty you show for Jammeh and his government is myopic and dishonest. But of course, bening a giant intellectual in your own right, you would never admit this. Blind loyalty to anyone, anywhere, under any circumstance, is wrong, has always been wrong, will always be wrong, and you know this very well. You rightly suggest that I do not know the government's reason for expelling Marc Andre. Do you know yourself? I guess no, because you have admitted here as much a few days ago. In any case, the issue is really not the current expulsion. It is your tendency to defend anything and everything the government or Jammeh does. That is the issue here. You ask whether I love the country more than those 'entrusted' with running its affairs. Were/are all the sick despots of history not 'entrusted' with running the affairs of their countries? Were all their monstrous deeds acts of patriotism and love of country? Are you telling me that absolute love of country = being president or government? Who was a greater patriot than history's greatest criminal - Adolf Hitler? Come on, Mr Kebba Jobe, Jumble Singsong or whatever you call yourself. Be honest with yourself and admit that once in a while, your perfect leader can commit embarrasing blunders. To err is human, isn't it? But to persist in volitional error is sick. That would not prevent him from offering you the job you so badly crave. No hard feelings intended. Have a good day.
