I think some of you guys not agreing with Yanks,
Come on guys you have your likes and don't likes
Why would you guys want Yanks to say his worst moments should be when someone insult his mother? Maybe be no he is great and only women who bore good sons/daughters are insulted why should he share your belief? Keep yours man and allow the guy to choose how he sees things
Thats why some are tall while others are short.
It is Gambian nature for them anything they want every body must want the same.

I agree with him on some and don't agree on others but that is how this wonderful friend of mine is and I love him
I don't mind if people choose to insult my dear mum forgetting their own. That show how shallow some people can think.

what a shame.x

Really impressive. Great to read another story about a high flying Gambian in the United Kingdom. Yanks has proved to all black people that, we had work and a good education everyone can make it in any job sector. Keep up the good work Yanks, and thanks Jollof News for coming up with this column.

Yanks,
1-I dont know where would you used your laptop in Kafuta, before Jammeh came to power.

2-The worst thing anyone's said to you, should be insulting your mother.

3-the most embarrasing moment, should be when you want to go to University and your country dont have one.

4-What keeps you awake at night, should be Madam's romans nothing else.


for your information, now Yahya Jammeh is building a University in your area, infact i was there during the ceremony went Jammeh laid the first stone, supprisingly i met my childhood friend from your village Yankuba Sanyang,ousman Jajusey form Kafuta too. that was july,2009.

"He is simple, humble and disciplined human being. He is respectful to all except Yahya Jammeh; the president murderer of the Gambia"

The justice system states" one is innocent until proven guilty" Give us the facts on this claim. I am not pro or anti anyone. I just want the facts in all this claims. A lawyer is capable of providing solid facts to his people.Your article is full of hearsay. We all agreed that something is wrong, but where are the facts to support these claims?
