Yero and all,

This author has his enablers and they as guilty of this foolishness as he is. I remember when Kebba Foon accused Ousainou of tribalism, i was one of the first people to condemn him and defend Ousainou, not because i am UDP supporter, but because i know Ousainou enough to rubbish that unfortunate statement. What is however troubling is that those who were all over Kebba Foon are the same people acting like they did not read or see this ridiculous accusations against Halifa Sallah. The hypocrisy on this forum is sometimes beyond me.

I also happen to think whoever the idiotic attention seeker is, needs to quit this mary-go-round nonsense. It is not only unfair to Halifa but the whole of the Gambian community especially those that know him. After Halifa worked with Sidia for close to three decades, how on earth can the man be called a tribalist. It is absolute stupidity and nonsense. The kind of attention seeking is becoming very common in spheres. I hope the idiot will quit the nonsense.

Well said Buhary, Sanusi et al.

Folks

As our Beloved Opposition Leaders aim their worthy " missiles" against the APRC, we on the Diaspora intend to fight each other in the name of cheap propaganda. To tell you guys the truth, I am totally disappointed with some of the exchanges made on this forum. We seem not to realise the danger this could caused us. At present Jammeh is on paper likely to win again, but hang on, there is nothing stopping me and many others from believing that either Hamat or Darboe could surprise us by wining this difficult contest.

Folks, we need to look at the big picture and stop this political ping pong, there are no winners in this contest, we are only creating unnecessary discord among the Opposition fraternity. We owe it to the Gambians who look up to us as patriot citizens to move on and focus on the issues.

Enough of this gabbage about what LJD did in his capacity as a private citizen. It makes no relevance to the issue facing us: Which is Gambia cannot afford another 5 years under the APRC. The onus therefore lies on us to move and focus on the issues- Campaign rentlesssly for our respective political parties.

Just a thought no hard feelings

Sanusi

Well Bakau, where did I write anything about "people who managed to
seat through some college classroom". Show me where I qualified
"educated". Before you jump, make sure you understand what you read. Do
you condone the tribalism being propagated? Are you one of those doing
the propagating?
Buharry.

Well Buharry, I don't know what makes you think "the educated people
who should know better" really do know better? In other words, that
petty grievances, silly grudges and score-setting is above people who
managed to seat through some college classroom? Sojourning on this
Gpost alone should wean someone from that idea, never mind the broader
politicos.
