YAHYA HAS BEEN FINISHED BY RAWLING'S LATEST. After reading Ndey Jobarteh's informative piece I became very very happy,because it was a direct answer to Yahya's lackeys on line. JJ Rawlings testifying and he is the mentor of Yahya Jammeh and his gangsters. Yahya adored Rawling's red beret and the military jacket so much.After stealing power, he gave an order that it was only him (sometimes AFPRC) council members or the original gangsters, who were allowed to wear those faded berets they had. Look at Yahya's pictures then and compare those to Rawlings and then tell me where he was trying to form the fool of himself again? Anyway after a while Rawlings chose to be nearer to Singhatey. Rawlings certainly prefered Edu because we all know why. Yahya and Rawlings were not in talking terms after JJ realised that he was dealing with a mad man! Rawlings used to insult Yahya face to face.Yahya tried by all means and then used late Abacha to make peace with JJ.If Yahya sees Rawlings his heart palpitates because the guy ridiculed him like a monkey. For Jerry Rawlings, Yahya is nothing more than a kilimanjaro baboon,period. At least Rawlings came at a different era,when the cold war was boiling.His mistake was that he decided to stay and out lived his fame and success.Between two evils logic chooses the lesser one.So if I were to be given the chance to put both Yahya and Rwalings in jail I was going to sentence JJ for a lesser period.Why? Rawlings has certainly committed crimes against some Ghanains that are unforgiveable but the man in the first part of his reign showed hs true colours.I am not saying that Rawlings was not corrupt but Yahya's level of corruption supercedes Jerry's by far. Here we have an intelligent (maybe a wicked man for some) who led Ghana through tough times and then messed himself and the country up to a certian extent that it diminished all the good he did before.Rawlings should have stayed out of power at the early stage. However,Ghana's economy(resources,per capita income etc etc) is far ahead of Gambia's.With all that Yahya can buy Rawlings! Anyway history will punnish Rawlings and he has started feeling the pain. He abused power and killed many for flimsy reasons,that was very bad and he will know that God exists. There is some real danger that lies ahead as far as the stability of The Gambia is concerned,when it comes to Rawlings revelations. JJ's revelations will spread beyond Ghana and Gambians should encourage Ndey Jobarteh to be following it with keen interest. Samuel Sarr was 'little' in Yahya's crude oil saga.If the truth and reconciliation process in Accra touches on economic crimes then that will be very very good! Rawlings knows every rat that mad Yahya attempted to use or used within his territory.Territory here means Ghana and the circles that played with Rawlings.Rawlings maybe very wicked but a more talented player than our mad man when it comes to the art of delivering his ideas.He may jump over a lot of hurdles unexpectedly because politics is made that way.Ghanains have brave and intelligent people who used law and order to revisit history and then pin Rawlings down at the end.He had no other option but answer to t! he commission.Please remember that this is Ghana and not Gambia under a mad man! Rawlings at least was pushed by those very strong minds and became part of a process that encouraged his people to organise elections. He left his former VP run against Kufo,ofcourse Kufo won with flying colours. Whether Rawlings was compelled by forces or whatever,he at least heeded the call and called it quits without resorting to madness.Many people saw that as a laudable one for one reason or the other.He knew that he could not stand against the whole of Ghana and left.That is what some of us call intelligence. In The Gambia we have a mad man who stole power in a very very very cheap way,at the same time warning opponents during the 1996 and 2001 false elections that some people were never going to be allowed to rule The Gambia! The archives are there for his cronies to see. The most difficult thing is trying to defend a mad man and that is what sad people like Alieu Sanyang and Tom Boy are attempting on line. Tombong makes me laugh some times when I see him trying to ask me questions regarding my connections with Baba Jobe? Tombong Yahya can help me answer to that question! If your lackeys were here saying that Yahya made a second Lt etc etc how can you in turn come and ask me my reltionship with Baba Blood Diamond Jobe(as Kebbe Dampha puts it).Tombong my relationship with Baba Jobe is judgmental.Every Gambian is saying the same thing when it comes to Yahya's style of hiring and firing or I will create one for you now,ie using and dumping.Tombong however much you cling on Yahya will swing his mad sledge hammer on you again.This time it will be hard and fatal please listen to Ams and run away.People like Ams maybe your nightmare but you very know that Ams is well informed too. Tombong my relationship with Baba Jobe is not like your own biiter relationship with the former US embassy Visa officer in Banjul.There is no competition between me and Baba Jobe or Yahya.Mine is bent on judging the criminals including that lackey you are trying to dissociate from,who is Baba Jobe.Is it because Baba has become rotten meat within your circle that is why you are trying to throw him away to some of us?Yes OPTV needs Baba Jobe so bad because it will make our job easier.I need him very much around here send him over.Are you not the one who pounced upon Sarr when he disowned Baba? Now you the very snake trying to indirectly grill Baba.You very well know that if you associate me with Baba means your dracula having a chance to suck the blood that runs through his veins once for all. Tombong you should be last person to spit on others in an international forum like this one.Keep me in mind because I will come back with the disk that has everything about your funny AMRA,raffles,tyson matches and then finalise on the role you played in the Fatima Jabby beauty contest.This time if I hammer you Isatou Njie Saidy will not be able to save you from Dracula Jammeh. The danger that lies ahead in The Gambia is being brewed by Yahya and his cronies,because Yahya does not see beyond his wet and smelling nose.Yahya would prefer sending the funny GREEN BOYS to face the angry civilians who are about to protest because bread and rice are un affordable,than resign or run away. Waa Juwara has said it again,that the APRC are tearing themselves up and at the same tearing one another into pieces.Could anyone of us here have imagined Tombong disowning Baba Jobe at this stage? Is Tombong still organising marathon matches with Yankuba Touray(laugh)? Ofcourse not! Tombong my relationship with Baba stems from what you,Baba and Yankuba did to our people.Please adress Ebou Waggeh and the former US diplomat's issues (who was posted to Niger or some where)before I come back. Are you sure if your own former in-laws are not preparing OPTV for a stronger case against your shameless self? OPTV will not be personal but your close family(present or former) may have documents that can link you with Baba Jobe and Yankuba more than me the run away coupist(as you all loosers call me) and refugee!
