Mathew K. Jallow Heads New GPU-USA Executive
Mathew K. Jallow said he was very pleased with the way the elections were conducted. "There was no acrimony," he observed, identifying that a few years back, a "tiff" within the media fraternity had roiled relations within the Union. "But that's all history now," he enthused. Mr. Jallow said it was a big challenge for his team to fill in the shoes of its predecessor. He thanked them for the hard work and constancy in elevating the status of the GPU-USA and making it more relevant to the situation of the Gambian press. Mr. Jallow said that he and his team would hit the ground running with a program of action for next year. He revealed that he would, among other areas, work towards launching a website for the Union, amalgamate the operations of the GPU-USA with those of its counterpart in the UK and kick off a donation solicitation first starting with the members of the Union.
A prolific and prodigious writer, Mathew became, at various times, a reporter, a writer, an editor, a columnist for the Gambian Daily Observer. From the early to the mid 1990s, Mathew, with an eye on human-interest stories and shifting patterns of culture, wrote numerous features, and opinions in his 'The Way We Live' weekly column, for the Observer. Among his notable works for the Gambian daily, include a harrowing, descriptive account of a family tragedy in Bundung, Serekunda, where a family member shot and killed several members of his kin in the early 1990s and a reporter's crusade on behalf of one young Olimata, who badly needed overseas medical attention for a very serious illness.
A graduate of the University of Wisconsin, Mathew K. Jallow is a native of Sare Gainako, Niamina, Central River Region.

Cherno Baba Jallow, outgoing Public Relations Officer

Yes for sure and they will always and forever remain in that History because of their Racist nature that keep hunting some of you in mother Africa.
You are right when you said Yesterday has gone But you are wrong because Tommorrow Never and will never comes !
And Today will always remain as Today.
If "Wazungu-Man can killed our Ancestors Yesterday, why not we look upon them today as our enemies ?
And for the Tomorrow, We will all remain to fight for that for who will lead, and those signs are on the world coming starting from Kofi Anan to now Obama, Then Maybe Nest to this Lalo Kebba !
In the Service of the truth I remain
It just would not be right, for me to agree or disagree.
We are what we are my friend.
You have often accused me wrongly..and I have let it pass.
Save that I would knowingly smile.
For I am comfortable.
You cannot disturb my sleep.
As for my ancestors...they exist only in the history of the world.Yesterday has gone, but tomorrow is not yet passed.
I wish you a better tomorrow and leave nothing for myself.
If only you come to know this man one Day, you will be surprise of whether these words are from this man !
I've being telling you here and will again remind you again, that is:
If you go back to all my rejoinders online here which I think you have all be coping them for reference tomorrow because I know for sure you are not taking my words here in a light form as I do took yours !
But I want to you to tell me where my Racism is ? If not all my Rejoinders were and are not Respondof what you do write here !
You know for sure that, this man know something about the "Wazungu-land"
And what you wife said, I can concretely support her words, It is trut that, as Africans if they don't know or comes closer to you, it will be difficult for you to earn their respect in a day or so
So, if that is what she call unfair treatment of Her fellow Africans, then My BODY EDEH DIE FOR THAT !
God forgive me if I am racist...but I try especially hard not to be.
My wife said something today after shopping in Town.
"Its strange when I pass by another African in Town. They always think because I too am African...then I should stop to say hello.But why should I?
As a female...
English people have always treated me with respect.. and consideration. My own people who never knew me.. rarely did"
I don't think my wife and I have much time for racists.
Do you have many lazy bananas in Gambia Lalo?
Comment:
You only find the Lazy ones in "Wazungu-land" Much more if they are getting old, Where you find them changing into different colours... From Socall White to Green and Blues !
