Tijan, dont waste your time going into details. We all know that Sillah-Bai got his wealth through hard work and well before he became a Secretary of State. As a matter of fact many questioned his acceptance of the job at the time.

I do not have a problem with people being anti-jammeh and I respect the likes of  Joe Sambou, who are genuine opposition. But the so-called oppositions, I cannot stand. It is your right of choice, however you should be realistic and stop embleshing the facts for your own gain.

For some they hate to see a successfull Gambian. People like Taf, Amadou Samba, Eddie Jobe to name a few have all been attacted on the list in one form or the other. For some of you no one should support Jammeh and body who supports him is seen as being corrupt, dishonest etc. He or she is always seen in a negative light. Some of you know that your uncles, parents, brothers and sisters are strong APRC supporters but you never bring up their names in the L. Why?

I believe deep down we all want what is best for The Gambia, but we have different ways of achieving our desires.

Why would some of you be so glad and happy any time there is a disaster or something negative happening in The Gambia? President Jammeh does not own the country and whatever happens in this country will affect all of us. You can oppose Jammeh but please stop the negative wishes you have for this country.

Some of you think if there is a coup it will be a peacefull one, you are kidding your self. Dont even pray for it.

LET US AGREE TO DISAGREE and stop the foolishness. Whatever your so-called sources feed you and gladly swallow without looking, and you know what, you will choke your self very soon. Ebrima, you are a journalist, why cant you double check your informations before publishing it?

PEACE

TOMBONG
