Habib, Anybody that is representing an entire country, make it be the president, Minister of finance, education, health or any other sector has to handle himself/herself in a respectable and proffesional manner. This should apply to both spouses and kids of that person. How would you feel Habib, if you are the Imam of the entire Banjul and Serrekunda region...very well respected by the people. You are preaching to the people to be good muslims and how to act in public. If your Son or Wife is acting completely opposite to what you are preaching to the people, how do you think the people will look at that. Also how would you feel about that. This can ruin your entire repetition and the message you are sending, Habib. Badgie's wife should have known better to handle problems with the husband privately at home, and not to attack anybody in public. She should be old enough to know that the problem is from her husband, and not the woman she attacked. A humbled Muslim woman should know this very well. This is why I said that they should both be punished for it. They are both representing the people of The Gambia, and how they both act in public is a reflection. --- Habib Ghanim <[log in to unmask]> wrote: <HR> <html><div style='background-color:'><DIV> <P><BR><BR></P> <DIV> <DIV></DIV> <P>Gibby </P></DIV> <P>Like you said this is definitely wrong for this and embarrassing to all of them, although the minister Badgie has the right to marry another woman that was not the proper protocol and manner to conduct himself especially in public. No woman wants a mate ( sait) which is what Badgie was doing ( looking for another wife in his wife's absence) and that explains Badgie's wife human feelings & reaction even if she just came back from the holy land. The fight was definitely uncalled and untimely for all of them especially Nam Ramzia should have known better than that . Getting involved with a married man is dangerous - Ask Monica Lewinsky for advise on that- she admited that yesterday on Larry King show 2-28. </P></DIV> <P>Yus , first giving the fact that all we have so far is only from a news report , it would be fair to hear the stories from all three parties plus the Police before one concludes any opinion here. But again it is their personal lives that must be taken into consideration after all . I would just call it a day and let them solve it or trash it out privately.

With <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>his status in the public eye, he should be able to <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>have an effect on the way his wife should act or <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>represent him in public, so he should be held <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>accountable as a parent is held accountable for a <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>child's misbehavior. <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>Another thing that is terribly embarassing is that <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>this incident is happening when people should be <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>coming from the Holy Land...the house of the Almighty. <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>They are suppose to be humbled after making such a <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>journey. Instead, what do they do? Fight and use foul <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>language towards each other. I do not know if she came <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>from the Hajj herself, but if she did, I won't believe <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>that she have a hajj. Please let some of our religious <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>leaders on the G-L help me out here. <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>This woman is suppose to be the wife of a respectable <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>person in our government. To act the way she did on <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>this day is embarassing to the people of the Gambia, <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>Yahya's cabinet, Mr. Badjie himself and Islam in <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>general. This lady did not show respect to Islam nor <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>her husband. <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>I think both wife and husband should be charged for <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>this embarassing incident to our beloveth nation. <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>Thank you very much, and I hope both Mr. Badjie and <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>Yahya could read this.
