APRC's metrics of insanity 250 tons of peanuts divided by 1.6 Million gives 3.125 pounds of grains per person!-Jungle laws!

By Hammadi Maasinah
 
 
You know when President Yahya Jammeh speaks or at best forces people like Yankuba Touray to speak for him it makes it so easy for Gambians and the world to see through this man’s hypocritical mind.
Yahya Jammeh should try using the talents of others during critical times like these, to at least save his face from further damage. Can he ever? Not as far as his name is Yahya anyway. This man needs to be buried, unburied and recreated again and again to make him a changed being. Which means he will never change.  It is good that Jammeh embarked on his useless voyage called meet the people’s tour. It is very good. This tour will expose more of his frustration, anger and despair.

Breaking News: The Big Interview: Ambassador Sey Remains Unapologetic!!!

 

Essa Sey Blasts Critics, Calling Them Bunch Of “ Loud Mouths.”

 

Sey Discloses Plans To Set Up Political Party!!!

 

“Timing is good for them to use my name again. These are very,very,very few loud mouths who are being propelled by forces stronger than them when my name appears on any screen. When timing allows them,they pounce. The timing is all about making cheap fame for themselves when their site is dormant after months of snail-pace performance. Which name is better than Essa's to revive such fora after all? I will give them more to help boost these outlets so that they can at least be noticed. This is about propaganda not about me. I am one factor they use to get both sides. Banjul and here when it comes to endless whispers on the phone. Those who make this noise are not my targets cause it is like me being in a helicopter trying to race with someone or others riding on bikes. My helicopter is freedom of expression and their bikes are attempting to silence freedom of expression. Of course that is a non starter Mbai you know that. Me being a puppet for Yahya or a pulpit for him(laughter). You know throwing adjectives in the air like someone celebrating a festival of kites is as easy as drinking a cup of "ataya" or green tea. Lets leave it at that. My adjectives are reserved for something better not infantile jabberings like these.” These were the exact words of former Gambian Ambassador to the United States Essa Bokarr Sey. Mr. Sey in a rather unapologetic move said he owes no apology to his critics, whom he calls ‘loud mouths.” The former Ambassador also discloses his plans to set up a political party in the too distance future. He says he gathered the necessary funds to register the said party. Below is the full text of the interview. Please read on…..

Breaking News:  Jammeh Says He does Not Care If A Bag Of Rice Cost D10,000!!!


   

  By Correspondent Wise Man Accompanying The Presidential delegation.
  

 President Yahya Jammeh has strongly warned Gambian men to change their laid-back attitude towards work, emphasizing that they  should  stay away  from   the Bantabas (rendezvous) to engage in serious farming in the coming season.  "If  the price for  a bag of rice goes as high as D10,000 by September 2008 that is not going to be my problem because  the people( i mean the Gambian men)  have failed   to go back to land," he said.

Mama Njie Salutes The Watchman- Sankanu Exposed!!!
Thursday, May 08, 2008 (489 reads)


By Mama Njie, Banjul

Thanks Pa N Mbai for exposing this clown Sankanu. And thanks Watchman for the showdown. Oh now Sankanu is calling for sanity. When this guy came full force with tirades agianst Fatou Jaw Manneh, When the heat of her trial is on, he never imagined that God as he  always have it for fatou, will deliver the watchman to counter this crazy and attention deficit guy sankanu. Before i proceed, i wish him a happy marriage with FJC. The boy Sankanu is not even 36 years old , i can guess but he looks older than Sulayman Maasaneh Ceesay whom am sure will not be intimidated with this young old man. I doubt if Fatou jaw will agree to a date dinner with Sankanu.It will be a marriage made in heaven. Two Gambian clowns together.

U.S. EMBASSY BANJUL

Press Release 

For Immediate Release      8 May, 2008 

The U.S. Grants The Gambia the AGOA Textile Visa 

The United States Government has granted The Gambia a textile visa which allows the country to export textile and garment products to the U.S. duty free and quota free under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). News of the much-awaited textile visa was contained in a letter sent to the Secretary of State for Trade, Industry and Employment, Honorable Abdou Colley, from the United States Trade Representative, Ambassador Susan C. Schwab, on April 28th.  In her letter, Ambassador Schwab said her office has determined that The Gambia has adopted an effective visa system and related procedures to prevent unlawful transshipment and the use of counterfeit documents in connection with shipments of textile and apparel articles to the United States. Therefore, she said, imports of eligible products from The Gambia qualify for the textile and apparel benefits provided under AGOA.

PANORAMA with 'Bulfaaleh':Why President Jammeh insults Gambian men? A child who grew without tasting "fatherhood".
Thursday, May 08, 2008 (977 reads)


PANORAMA with 'Bulfaaleh':Why President Jammeh insults Gambian men? A child who grew without tasting "fatherhood".
 
1-Understanding Yahya Jammeh's general past.
 
Wonders never sieze in this world! Psychologists also made it easier for us by saying, thought means:"past experience and subsequent mental operation". A couple of months back right here in this medium of communication we touched on this topic vis-a-vis President Jammeh's sulky tirades towards our fathers,uncles,brothers,grand fathers, and in-laws(male). Not knowing his history will make one wonder why he has chosen this path. However,the moment one knows who President Jammeh really is,where he was born, or who is father and mother really are. It helps. Likewise know what ensued after he was born  would also give anyone a better understanding. These reactions are not meant to be rude ones,they are meant to inform Gambians about the deepest side of Yahya's past as an angry child who never tasted the sweetness of "fatherhood". Ask men like Kukoi Samba Sanyang they will tell you the past of President Jammeh.

Ebrima Conteh Fights Back- As He Praises The Watchman!!!
Thursday, May 08, 2008 (325 reads)


By Ebrima Conteh 

Thank you The Gambia’s Watchman for your advice, your points are well taken. Contrary to your observation, my intent was never to use my position to besmirch a person I do not know. Contrary to what you may think I am a humble man who is blessed by the Almighty to reap the benefits of his hard work and sacrifice. It had never crossed my mind that sending an email from work would be so over analyzed. Trust me when I tell you that these walls are overrated.
