WATCHMAN RESPONDS TO A SCANDALOUS ACCUSATION!!!! Monday, April 21, 2008 (915 reads)
WATCHMAN RESPONDS TO A SCANDALOUS ACCUSATION!!!!
Dear Mama Njie:
I wish you could have e-mailed me privately to voice your concern about my alleged “disrespect” for Mandinka women but since you aired these concerns in public, I hope you and other readers get to see where my perspective comes from. Let’s begin with your first assumption, that I am a Mandinka man. This is totally not the case. Since I am very averse to tribal politics, I won’t divulge my background but I can tell you this: it is a mixture of all Gambia has to offer. My experience as a Gambian is very unique in that I lived with everyone and traveled the length and breadth of the country thus enabling me to bond with individuals far from my comfort zone. Frankly, I was expecting some back lash and/or misunderstanding about my opinion on this matter and the fact that it took this long shows the understanding most readers have about my insight.

Please respect your Mandinka sisters.
By Mama Njie
Dear WatchMan,
As a Banjulian i enjoy your articles . Eventhough i do not know your identity, i believe you are a mandinka man.I am always wondering why mandinka men hate their women.Mandinka women are very strong ,beautiful and very loyal and faithful. All my relatives who are married, the ones that last are the ones with mandinka women and not the wolof women who they busy themselves with after abandoning their sisters. I am a wolof and married to a wolof but my most loyal friends are mandinkas. Why do you mention Ismaila Sambous wife as a pompous mandinka woman. You want to know how many mandinak men are destroyed by wolof women?
