Dear Mr.Editor,
                           I must confess to reading the book of The Gambia from back to front.Certainly,like many good intentioned British visitors to your country,I was little concerned with the local politics and more concerned with the condition of its long suffering citizens.My response to the plea from The Honourable Mayor of Banjul for better trade relations between the U.K. and Gambia was well provided for by the offices of Her Majesties Government.The fact remains that it was the Gambian Government that scuppered every trade inititive that I instigated.

JAMMEH IS A DAMN LIAR!!!

….Gambian Newspapers A  Disservice To The Country- A Case Study

“ Stories matter, and matter deeply because they are the best way to save our lives.” Frank McConnell

Gambia’s President Yahya Jammeh is a damn liar. A pathological liar for that matter. Jammeh’s lies is becoming unbearable. Gambians are tied of his lies. Enough is enough!!! He has long been lying about mineral discovery in The Gambia, when there is no such thing. Do we hear Jammeh announcing the presence of iron in our shores? What about the oil discovery he made years back? How about the gold discovery? When will the long awaited mining start? After Jammeh’s demise?  When will this sick and retarded President stop his day dreaming?

GPA BECOMES A GHOST PORTS!!!

By Musa Jobe, Banjul,

If the reports coming from the Gambia Ports Authority, GPA, is any guide, Gambians can then brace up for more turbulent economic phase. At the time when the average Gambian contiues to groan under harsh economic conditions, reports from GPA, suggesting an impending rice and flour shortage would not come to the poverty wary Gambians as a pleasing news.

..Rice and Flour shortage Inevitable

By OC Cox Banjul Police Head Quarters

Dear Editor,
I wish to refer ot the 'open letter' in the Daily Oberver  dated 24th June, 2008 by One Mariama Jallow to Jesus, the Gambia's new Inspector General of Police. Mariama Jallow has very good advice for the Jesus, but let me make loud and clear that this is not the Jesus that can take the Gambia Police Force to higher heights. The fact of the matter is Jesus has never had any professional training and besides, he never worked beyond Brikama, in Western Region. Like Bem, he spend all his service within the greater Banjul area.

Governor Badjie Fired!!  

By Landing Badjie, Banjul

The Governor of Western Region, Abdou F.M. Badjie, has lost his exalted position as the governor of one of the most populous local government areas in The Gambia..Before his sacking, rumours abound town that Mr. Badjie had been sacked and it was until now that his dismissal was confirmed by the Gambian authorities. His replacement is Yassin Ndow, the deputy governor of Western Region.This paper could not establish the reason(s) of Mr. Badjie's fall from grace to dust. However, during his tenure as the governor of Western Region, many seemingly intractable problems, especially land disputes were widespread. The governors office has been constantly bombarded with criticisms for doing too little to curb the problem which has now become one of the thorny issues confronting traditional administrators in the West African state.
