SO we recap Paripanna: When you said "And I think you (Yanks) are doing more damage at Mr. Darboe's chances of becoming president than what you perceived Mr. Drammeh is doing" you meant that by confronting and educating Dramane on Ousainou's honour, that Yanks is doing more damage at Mr. Darboe's chances of becoming President of Gambia than how much Dramane is affecting Ousainou's chances of becoming President of Gambia, and that Dramane may be part of the gang of Green boy idiots???? I will assure you that the best antidote to Green boys is RED Boys. Haruna. In a message dated 4/26/2009 3:57:50 A.M.

OK, Here is what I will recommend that you add to your itinerary for your site seeing tour to Basse with uncle Suntou: While in the Kombos, before you leave for Basse, I suggest that you go to Baba Jobe's compound where you can see and interact with actual green boys. I know you guys would love to meet the witch hunters too because both of you are brave men. This experience will definitely put both of you in a comparable advantage on your on going debate against the PDOISards. Because you would have met the actual witch hunters and the green boys eyeball to eyeball as opposed to Halifa's method of running after their shadows. Probably they may be gracious to allow you spent the night at Baba Jobe's Hotel too.

Like Yahya. So I wouldn't worry about Haruna being sleepy if I were you. C'est la meme chose. I will share some ideas with you here: [In a message dated 4/25/2009 6:17:57 P.M.

I think Mballow addresses Dramane's pannafore on his own behalf. That does not have much to do with Haruna. [And you missed my point. My point was not whether lawyer Darboe becoming president or not; my point was, there is a sizable segment of the Gambian population that is tired of this green boys mentality.] Jatta Njie. And what is the Green Boys' mentality Paripanna??? [You get it?] Jatta Njie. I'm sorry I didn't get it my good friend. [Now you too go to sleep. Will ya?] Jatta Njie. And what'd I tell you about my sleep business???? dankuto leh beng tayma. Nka Malu-ilaleh. [And before you go to sleep note that UDP needs to win this segment too.] Jatta Njie. I imagine that would be UDP's purview. Wouldn't you say??? [And I am sorry if this mail come with no subject. It is not deliberate.] Jatta Njie. Don't fret my good lad. Its not important. [I am using a blackberry as opposed to a pc.] Jatta Njie. I hope you get electrocuted with these blackberries. Laye is another one who is permanently tethered to these gadgets. You better be careful. I think President Obama is unduly burdening himself now that he is President of the US. If he should ask me, I'll advise he jettison his blackberry, spruced-up and all. [Thanks!] Jatta Njie. Yeah I love you too gaddamit. Haruna. I am not pleased with you at this time. Maybe later.
