Thank you ever so much Pa Saikou for putting the records straight.  Demba has a propensity of not bothering to ascertain facts. I was going to post on this thread but I knew you will respond given the kind of false insinuations made.

Well done.

As a result I deliberately distanced myself from the internet and other worldly affairs, and therefore did not read your usual poem. 
> I promised not to prolong this back and forth any further than my last piece, but each time I read your statements, I always felt compelled to help you understand better, or distinguish facts from fictions. I thought as a practicing journalist, you would always endeavor to get all the facts even it will take you a little bit more time.

Certainly yours was bitter      than mind because I have never been a part of PDOIS and you were vested in UDP and even contested elections in their party platform and of course the results were usual.... I still cheer you for standing up to what you see is not right in your party"
> Facts; 
> (a) "What happened to you and UDP"...Absolutely Nothing. Unless you know something that I don't know.        If you do, I also wanna know that please.
> (b) Love lost? Not at all. The course is a legit, and the force is a formidable one. Is it the only force?                   Certainly not.
> (c) I have never had a BITTER EXPERIENCE with UDP, and I don't think I will ever have one. I just don't      know what you're talking about here. You gotta be explicit. You dealing with adults here Demba. You          cannot hide behind cheap stuff like this. 
> (d) I contested only one election (Parliamentary) under the UDP ticket in 1997. Here is my results from that      election: Pa. Saikou Kujabi UDP...3,636 Votes.  By the way, this is the largest votes ever secured by          the opposition in the history of that constituency, from the First Republic to Second Republic, as late as          2011.
> (e) You charged "You contested on the UDP platform and the results were usual" Too ambiguous. (False).        You will recall that UDP secured some seats in the Parliament in the 1997 Parliamentary elections. So it         is totally misleading to publicly state that elections on UDP platform always produce the usual results.  
> (f) You stated " I still cheer you for standing up to what you see is not right in your party".  Again, another          bogus. No substance behind these deliberate misrepresentation.
> (g) You reiterate " I still insist that Jammeh is your uncle and the burden of proof is on you to break the               family history. I see Yoro was defending you because you all are from Foni including Jammeh".
>     Well, I wish you had not voluntarily assumed such a risk on you credibility. Here are the facts (the proof        of burden, as you put it);  
> (1) My mother is Badjie and not Jammeh. She was born in Bafuloto Village in the Kombo Central District.        Not Foni. I have no Jammeh married to any of my uncles. So there is no family history to be broken            here. You tell me one.
> (2) I am a native of Kafuta. Kafuta is in the Kombo East District of Western Division, which is now called        "Coastal Region" or whatever. Not Foni. Foni is beyond Kafuata. It starts from Bulock and end at                 Kalagi.  What happened to your geography, or at least the Map of The Gambia?
> (3) Yes, Jammeh is from Kanilai which I think is in the Foni Kansala District.   
> (4) Yoro, on the other hand is from Sintet, which is in the Foni Kalagi District. Same Foni but no                       relationship.
> So you see how you embarrassed yourself due to your own carelessness and arrogance. Like I said, I will stick to Dick Cheney. Thanks for letting Dr.Saine and Sir. Dawda alone. I regret that it had to take you this long to realize that the review was actually the issue here. .

> I see you are growing wings and being pushed into the ring deeper. I recalled our exchanges during the NADD debate and certainly you were equally  going for my neck and I stood my ground... thus I called you "old school" and you were bitter about that... 
> By the way "No love lost with Halifa" Him and I disagree on fundamental issues on approach to our political solution in Gambia. Am sure many see what I see as far as PDOIS and its leadership... The two of us have extensively exchanged views privately on this and we have agreed to disagree. 
> It show you I don't subscribe to blind loyalty to any leadership or party ideology. Oh before I forget what happens to you and the UDP? Love lost there too????? Certainly yours was bitter than mind because I have never been a part of PDOIS and you were vested in UDP and even contested elections on their party platform and of course the results were usual... I still cheer you for standing up to what you see is not right in your party!...
> Now I don't know how much more I can make this clear... I do not hold brief for Dr. Janneh or anyone else. I simply opine on his decisions which I disagree with just like any of you are doing on the other side... Am saying Dr. Janneh's explanations true or false are good enough for me to want him around to work with all of us to dislodge Jammeh... Is it enough for you or anyone else? It is up to you to make that decision. I have made up my mind on him, directly ask him questions and I can live with his answers because he is not the central problem. 
> What a lot of you want is for him to disappear... and he is certainly more effective in fighting this regime than many of us... Does that make me dishonest or his adviser..? I don't really give a flip what some self righteous holier than thou people think.
> I wouldn't want to explain anymore about Dr. Saine because I have no issue with his review. In fact if you go to Gainako we gave it a more suitable heading as that is the way we see it. I went further to congratulate him and LJD for the reviews on "Standing up against Injustice" and "A week in hell". I don't know what else you want!..
> In regards to people calling Dr. Saine names here already one came out and admit calling Dr. Saine names. Again, I only brought in Dr. Saine to show how none of us no matter what we do can escape being called names from disingenuous people on these forums.. Thus I never equated Dr. Saine with Dr. Janneh's decision. If you want to tell us more about Dr. Janneh's decisions he made while serving Jammeh? We are all ears. Just again I won't defend the man.. he can do that for himself...
> I still insist Jammeh is your uncle and the burden of proof is on you to break down the family history!  I see Yero was defending you because you are all from Foni including Jammeh... so why can't he defend Jammeh???.
