The good thing about the Internet is that it gives losers like the watchman the one-in-a-life-time-possibility to celebrate their inferiority complex.
The watchman is free to enjoy the freedom of speech he never tasted in his father's compound. He is free to write "Sankanu rapes Condoleeza Rice"...he can shout "Sankanu robbed the Central Bank"....he is free to call me names at his whims and caprice.
I do NOT depend on the watchman and his network for my livelihood just as I do NOT depend on Yahya Jammeh and his people.
The watchman is one of those useless "Public Parasites" scavenging on responsible people or "Public Figures" just to attract cheap publicity.
The watchman has repeatedly rejected my DIRECT personal calls (via email) for mature debate and dialogue without personal pettiness/character assassination. In his previous diatribe over Cherno Baba Jallow's comment on Journalism, he tried linking my name to the bruhaha but only ended up exposing his own personal problems.
The watchman is one of those frustrated cowards one can find in every field of life; they blame others for their own failures. When the stress in their heads becomes unbearable, they rush to the megaphone with insults just to escape their daily survival problems for a moment. I can tolerate them anyway.
Since the watchman and company have so much ANGER and HATRED in their chests, they cannot tolerance people who are taking things easy with humour and jovial undertones. His countless attempts at branding me a "comedian" buttress this point. I am satisfied with my life and under NO circumstance will I stress myself with anger outbursts just to receive accolades from the loser-watchman and his angry company in and out of The Gambia.
The watchman is equally hot and angry because I told him to first challenge the STRIPTEASE that lied to him about his biological father before challenging Sankanu; HE ASKED FOR IT BY ATTACKING ME PERSONALLY AND BY REJECTING MY NUMEROUS CIVILIZED CALLS FOR MUTUAL RESPECT. So he is yapping for the slightest opportunity to pour his venom on Sankanu!
Even a lunatic from the Campama Mental Asylum knows Sankanu's stance on Gambian Politics is NOT ambiguous as claimed by the sleepy watchman. I said, repeatedly for all to understand, that I am a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT and a CENTRIST (not pro and not anti Jammeh).
However, the rotten brain cells of the watchman translate "my middle way" as AMBIGUOUS; God bless his readers!
In the doctrine of the Watchman and his co-frustrated keyboard charlatans, it is OKAY to insult, criticize, gossip, blackmail and hate people.
EXCHANGING ideas on how to take the Gambia forward regardless of political dispensation (as I did over the National Council for Arts & Culture in my allgambian.net interview) is according to the watchman, an act of self aggrandizement and, pomposity. I pity his readers and followers!
The watchman and his people are saying "INSULT, SPREAD LIES AND CARICATURE THEM BUT DO NOT SHARE OR SUGGEST IDEAS."
May God continues to bless the angry watchman in his personal mission to assassinate Sankanu's character...AMEEN!
About the FATOU JAW MANNEH CASE, you the Responsible Editors and Commentators can bear me witness that I wrote a commentary titled "THE GAMBIAN STATE VS. FATOU JAW MANNEH, I WASH MY HANDS." This commentary can be found in the ARCHIVES of allgambian.net.
You will also agree with me that in my debate with MICHAEL SCALES on Freedomnewspaper.com, (titled: I am demystifying Westminster...) I clearly defended Fatou Jaw Manneh and called her my SISTER-IN-PEN.
You can also confirm in my letter to President Jammeh published on TheGambiecho.com, AllGambian.net and SeneGambianews.com, that I raised Fatou Jaw Manneh's case.
I am not a populist like the watchman who easy jumps in the crowded train of mass sentiments and emotions. Noisemakers like the watchman are just dropping crocodile tears so that one day, they can HYPOCRITICALLY tell Fatou Jaw Manneh "we insulted Yahya Jammeh's mother on your behalf but he would not listen..."
I suspended aggressive public comments on Fatou Jaw Manneh's case because it is PREJUDICATING to comment on an going trial just like that. Fatou Jaw Manneh is very well aware of my this concern. But the watchman "being the best legal expert and the nocturnal Dr. Know-all of Internet Gambia" tries to fault me and my qualifications in Law. He did not pay my school fees so I care the shit about him and all his useless attempts at sneezing at my credentials!
Rumourmongers like the watchman feel they can gossip about the case just to score points; they care the least about the impacts of their so called "freedom of speech" on Fatou's situation. To the watchman free speech means sniffling into say, Barack Obama's confidential files "because his a public FIGURE". Defending free speech according to the watchman means gossiping about everything even if the lives of people are ruined, national security is compromised and civil strife is triggered in the process.
The watchman of RWANDA is reincarnated to the destructive zombie-watchman of the Gambia!!! His narcissistic postings against celebrities and very important persons reveals his relations to the hyenas, the owls and the bats.
Tolerance, Respect, Dialogue, Responsibility and Restraint are as complicated for the watchman and his company of carcass eaters as rocket science! To them "the other are to blame, period!"
If the watchman and company really care, they should be sending their so called exhibits and arguments to Fatou's Lawyer, Jobarteh, so he can stand the prosecutors better.
The watchman DELIBERATELY ignored my reference to Journalist CHIEF Ebrima Manneh's plight since his dirty hypocritical intention was to provoke discord between Fatou Jaw Manneh/the Gambian Media Family and myself but he failed once more as in his noise over Cherno Baba Jallow's commentary.
My conscience is clear and I will never lick the boots of nebulous characters of the watchman's stinking calibre. Invite me for a duet or duel on top of an erupting volcano, I will be there first!
Whatever, I have more important things to do across the globe than to push and pull with frustrated losers. These lazy false prophets who believe their extreme "pro or anti" establishment ranting is the best strategy for The Gambia, are worst than Yahya Jammeh!
I am in the MIDDLE and if it means I am ambiguous and supportive of Jammeh's craziness, SO BE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At once, the watchman embraced the truth when he observed that I am SANKANU, THE SERENE PRINCE; I can do whatever I want, whenever I want and however I want whether he and his callous fellows like it or not. The watchman and his fellow nonentities can therefore rot in Hell; they can even take Yahya Jammeh along as company if they want!
May God continues to guide US ALL through the stable path without anger and hatred.
Editors note: Mr. Sankanu, there is nothing private about your mail. It’s copied to all online papers. Why do you want to use us in your sinister schemes to blackmail the Watchman? Be man enough and respond to the man. We do not want to condone any pettiness here at Freedom. The Freedom Newspaper is not affiliated with you. Why trying to involve us on this? What are your motives? What makes your letter private?
We strongly doubt your claims of being a solicitor. Why circulating private communications sent to you by Cherno Baba Jallow and Ebrima Conteh to the Freedom Newspaper, sister online papers and other parties? Do you sought the consent of these folks Sankanu? What is your motive? Who cares if you talk to these people? Are you a solicitor or would be solicitor? You need to grow up Sanakanu. We are disappointed that you are stooping too low to compromise private communications.
Please do not send us people’s private communications again. We are not interested to read about what Cherno Baba, FJC or Yahya Jammeh tells you. Be real and stop the double standards.

Sankanu and others, people have the right to free speech even if it means mouthing nonsense. Cynical nonsense. I will donate my last pint of blood to the cause of free speech. I am not worried about scurrilous attacks. If anything, they widen my currency around the world as witnessed recently. I am more worried about the credibility of my writings not some personal attacks from some ex-military man in the Jammeh camp or a member of the journalism fraternity hiding under pseudonyms. And it is not like I am limited in the arsenal of adjectival blitz. We are all variously "gifted" in the shock and awe of personal assaults and character calumny. I don't go there for a host of unassailable reasons.
This is what you should keep doing: ignore the snide rants and be cognizant of the fact that the silent readership is the final arbiter of the truth. Some readers will agree with you; others won't. And that is the beauty of it all. As for me, I didn't have to respond to and defend myself of the recent attacks on my person. Some of my readers did that for me.
I will not respond to people who are too lazy to offer counter truths. It is a waste of time.
Greetings,
Cherno B.

Sankanu,
I applaud you for having the wisdom not to reply to the Watchman. Like I said before; The Gambia's National discussion has been hijacked by disgruntle citizens and they risk derailing the internet revolution.
There is a remarkable difference between your interview and Watchman's article, the level of maturity of your interview and your understanding of the underlying issues is crystal clear and it speaks volumes. Be rest assured that although decent Gambian readers may not have the time or the inclination to response to every article we know who is who and who to pay attention to.
It is self evident that it will not be easy to take back the national discussion but we have to start somewhere, by you not responding and giving Watchman notoriety you have done your part.
Thanks again for not responding.
Ebrima Conteh
