Mawdo Baba,I think our brother fankung gets nostalgic anytime there is no discussion about the "Frofessor". He is as obsessed about Jammeh as Jammeh is obsessed about titles and becoming something bigger than anything we have seen in the universe....To show you how big this man always wants to be please visit his profile/credentials at the state house website and see all the titles and awards added just to make him more qualified to be president than any of the people serving him... I was fascinated by all the additions!!!!! Check link or pasted document:Thanks

Bro Fankung,Now this one is REALLY funny. The Barack Obama of Africa? Now that one is really great! The best so far. The only problem is that the original and real Barack Obama is already of Africa. Why do we need to squeeze him into all these other personas? Are we trying to make him bigger than he actually is? To do that, it is his brain that we need to expand, not his persona because that is and will remain just what it is as long as his brain remains what it is. The Abraham Lincoln of Africa, the Nelson Mandela of Africa, etc? Why not just the Yahya Jammeh of Africa, which he actually is, however small that sounds in spite of the sentence titles? Maybe we should also call him the Donald Trump of Africa. Or the Donald Duck of Africa? Or better still, the Newt Gingrich of Africa? Or the Sarah Palin of Africa? Or the king Saud of Africa? Or even Attila the Hun of Africa!! Forgive me bro. No disrespect intended. I just couldn't help ruminating on this comic practice of thrusting our good little dokita into all these other personas. Thank you for the good laugh.Baba
