Really sad indeed. Gambia is the only country were all the security chiefs can be arreseted, detained and torture without any problem. So i wonder what the civilians can do if the same thing happens to them. The only intelligent chief of defence staff we have from 94 to date is Ndure cham ,all others were toys . Right now we all have to be very careful , a leader who feels unstable or knows that his downfall is on the way, will do all his best to bring chaos or disorder so that he can eliminate his targets. Diplomacy can bring the change we need, thats why i applaud the path taken by Lawer Mai Fatty .The pain is too much already and we dont need any more dissapearance, killings etc. Lets handle the situation maturely for the benefits of our country.

This is indeed a sad situation and instead of putting our brains together we will resort to pointing fingers and condemning each other. Instead of coming up with the resources to pay for Femi's bail, we will be ranting again as if it never happened.

It is no surprise that Femi would be jailed. Everyone knew what the ultimate outcome would be on this case. So the real question is why do we continue to legitimize the courts system in the Gambia when we infact know the outcome? Why go to court and defend what is openly clear to all? Did this case teach us anything that we did not know about our justice system?

The regime has become a master in handling Gambians and putting everyone on check. Now that Femi is going to jail and nothing will come out of it unfortunately, Gambians again will ask the question... why bother if no one can do anything about it?

Apealing against the case is a waste of time and resources. We might as well move on because we know the outcome.

I pray for Uncle Femi's safety and protection in custody. May Allah give him the strength and free him sooner rather than later... am ashame of our system..

Joe Sambou, when will you go to Gambia and lead the people with all the zeal you exhibit here in Cyberspace? You keep calling people names like coward but when and where have you shown the people your bravery other than here online? These rants of yours against braver Gambians on the ground are far more toothless and only self-aggrandizing.

I would love to see you head to Gambia and lead the people in the right direction. It seems like you know better than all what is the best way to deal with Jammeh. Please lead the way and perhaps others you deem braver will follow your lead. What is stopping you from doing so now? Give us a break with your childishness!
