Paripanna,
Don't you know the Muni-09 elections are going on in Mali as we speak???
Haruna. Life must stop for you to take in the apparitions variously. Now go to
it and report back to us how it comes out! MQJGDT. Darbo.

Before I
will accept your assurance Haruna, What are RED Boys?
"When you said "And I think you
(Yanks) are doing more damage at Mr. Darboe's--span>; 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????,"
Haruna
Again, I repeat: that is why I said when it come to
educating Mr. Drammeh on Lawyer "Darbo's honour" Mr. Mballow did a great
job of that. Why would Yanks escalate it to a confrontational stage
Haruna. That was what I was referring to as a green boys
mentality. Yanks does not have to received Mr. Drammeh's queries from a
personal angle. Lawyer Darbo is a public figure and actively seeking the
presidency and by that he exposed himself to the stringent scrutiny and
criticism of citizens like Mr Drammeh. By the way do you know the green
boys are behind some of the atrocities committed against the independent
Gambian media because they do not want Jammeh to be scrutinized or
criticized neither fairly nor unfairly.
I know we Gambians with
the exception of the misguided green boys, have the intellegence to
conduct our political debate in an intellectual fashion without
resorting to blackmailing, browbeating or insulting our oppenents. And
you my dear brother Masoud, I don't know whether it is your refusal to
go have a good sleep that is throwing you off the cliff of intellectual
political debate down to browbeatng Mr. Drammeh. I am dissapointed in
you too Masoud. But I still like you. Sincerely, Lamin
Jatta

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.

You don't
know what a green boys' mentality is? 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. Von
voyage!

Paripanna,
I had shared with JDAM Wandifaa that I am awake even
when I'm asleep. 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:

Bah oui!
[Reading from the last couple of
mails you sent in you sound like somebody sleepy. I do like
your contributions here but not when you sound tired, sleepy
or fixated on Mr. Drammeh.FYI Mr. Mballow had effectively
address the question of Mr. Drammeh.] Jatta
Njie.
Addressed. 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.
