My brother I don’t border much about people making personal attacks and I believe is out of ignorance. It’s not possible that all of us speak the same language and this forum gives us the opportunity to share our views in a professional and mature way. It’s out of this that we will be able to channel the way forward if it’s true that it’s Gambia we all put ahead not personal grievances or motives. But this is nature that if you analyze the comments of others physiologically you come to notice that is an opportunity for them to mix with those on a righteous course to express their evil intentions that only serve their interest. I don’t consider any comment here as foolish and garbage because is the person’s opinion but if I disagree I express my opinion to convince if possible and this is visa-visa. But how do you convince me if you call me names? This will never change and others who feel respected will stay away. I will later come to your comment please.
We were very good friends.
I.m surprised you know it alls didn't know that?
If it is indeed my friend in hospital...then I wish him a speedy recovery.
God Bless.

Quote: “In today's Gambia, we know that you have to be a Jola to access those places you are talking about, otherwise you get arrested for being a spy, so now we know that you are just a here to defend Jammeh and his atrocities because of tribal connections”.
Mo, so it means if am defending Jammeh because of am a Jola, you are anti because you are a Mandinka? For me I will never be with the opposition and even if you are the choice of the majority today I will remain to defend you. Very confuse and unfortunate to always see people like you confronting people on tribal lines. Well is your assumption which is your final judgement that you are entitle to but my brother what will I gain from tribal connections? I expected you to be part of a modern society that think positively or are you in your 50’s? I am proud to be a Gambian at the same time belonging to a culture that I can express and live by its morals and values.

What I see is Gambia not tribe but an African who is a Gambian. I am a Mandinka by culture and my mum a Jola. My grandfather migrated from the kiangs in the 30’s when my dad was young to settle in the Foin’s were my dad got the opportunity to marry a Jola. I secondly married a Fula and this means my family is a multicultural family that has no room for tribalism. In the Foin’s we don’t know what tribalism is and don’t use Jammeh’s political speeches to judge an entire ethnic group. Any Mandinka born in Foin’s is influent in Jola and some to the extent of speaking Fula or Manjako. We have everything together and despite am a Mandinka that’s why my dad married a Jola and I married a Fula. Please you are entitle to speak your mind but be aware of the implications and how people how the rest of the readers will judge you.
