Mawdo Demba, You couldn't have summarize it any better. Taiwan is our last stop.... The Allah central bank is going bankrupt... Mawdo Baba, I was surprised by the low coverage of this doctorate. I recalled how the observer would run full stories on "funny" awards from all over.... May be its coming soon On Wednesday, July 4, 2012, Baba Galleh Jallow <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > One only hopes that more light is shed on just what doctorate was conferred on the Fropessor during this Taiwan visit. It is strange that no actual description of the doctorate itself is in the news. Or did I miss it? If I did not, one hopes that perhaps it would come. Gambians would like to know whether it is a doctorate of laws, a doctorate of sciences, or one of those "doctorates" conferred on people who have violated some Chinese value - a doctorate of shame perhaps, for having misappropriated funds meant for the people and thereby broken some hallowed Chinese custom and rule of engagement? I know this sounds unlikely but one never knows with Chinese culture. Or is it a doctorate in puppet techniques, issued by neo-colonial Taiwan to one of its most obedient subjects? The Fropessor rants againts Western neo-colonialism, but dutifully kneels before Chinese neo-colonialism with open arms, totally oblivious of the irony of his funny situation. One hopes that the Observer throws some more light on our rather silent new doctorate. > > Baba > > ________________________________ > Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2012 16:13:50 -0700 > From: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: [G_L] Taiwan visit a success’ - Welcome back Professor > To: [log in to unmask] > > Che, > > Happy 4th to you and the GL family. It is probably good for you to carefully note that Taiwan is pretty much the only remaining standing friend of Babili Mansa...
