Open Letter to Pa Nderry

Dear Pa Nderry,

First I apologize for the presumption that you or anyone will listen to me but as a Gambian, a Pan African, a Muslim and a Human Being, I am very disturbed by the above direction.I respect your right and role as a journalist and your dedication to all issues Gambian but as humans, we can all make mistakes. I believe that maybe your intention is not to stir ethnic antagonism and even maybe to reveal what you perceive as President Jammeh's ethnic biases, but I think what you are doing in this particular case is the right way to go about it.But I urge you to review this stand as even if you are right you risk also being reverse ethicist. [I am sure you are aware of victims of racism and racists become reverse racists]. One can ask why are you only selecting the Jolas, when a greater majority of people in Public and Civil Services of The Gambia are non-Jola.

WHERE IS GAMBIA HEADING TO UNDER JAMMEH?

As Gambia  Launches New ID, And Biometric Control System!!!!
 By Alieu Touray
Our national coffer is in tatters, our security bleak than ever before, our health services deteriorated, our education falling behind and our social cohesion rapidly declining. I am too scared now. Therefore, I can’t keep quiet any longer. I once told my colleague at the Central Bank that one day Gambians will cry as longer as Jammeh remains in power. He is a very greedy leader as the British national living in Gambia once said and I think it was wrong for the NIA to arrest this brave man for speaking the truth. 
 

“Yahya Jammeh Cannot Survive Another Year In Office,”-Town Crier

Dear Readers,

For sometime now,  I have decided to hibernate as all I have advised Oga fell into a thick skull and deaf ears that can only hear one voice and that is Oga’s own voice. Am I surprised? No! Am not. This is the trend of dictators. They don’t listen to common sense because they don’t have any. I want to take you through a tour of Oga's line of thought and why he behaves the way he does. Yahya cannot survive a year in office if everything is quiet and smooth moving here in Gambia. He survives by creating tension. We have seen and have been experiencing preferential treatment from the army, civil service, down to other law enforcement agencies. Peace and tranquility will accord those of us serving him time to think and plan against him.

Scales On Nigeria’s Oil

Dear Mr. Editor,

 I must admit to several mixed feelings at present events upon the African continent. Hillary Clinton, certainly new a thing or two about Nigeria and caused some expected controversy over her comments about  Nigeria's top graft busters, the EFCC. She presented the view that the EFCC had "fallen off" over the last 12 months. She hit the "Nail on the head" when she said Nigeria had squandered much of its gains from the Oil bonanza to corruption. Official estimates indicate that some $300 million dollars had been lost its corruption over the last 30 years. Certainly Africa suffers from official corruption, extending to all levels of government. This is certainly one of the reasons that African countries continue to 'bump along the bottom " of the world league tables for development and poverty reduction, compared to other former colonial outposts.

What Goes Around Comes Around

Yahya Jammeh, And Others Declared Wanted!!!

By Mathew K Jallow                               

He has a hospital named after his father Sulayman Junkung Jammeh in Bwiam, a police station named after his mother, Asombi Bojang in Kalagi, a health center named after his wife Zenib Jammeh in Koina, a skills center named after his son Mohamed, somewhere in the Greater Banjul area, and a whole country named after himself. His name, in case you don’t know, is Yahya Jankading Jammeh. But, that is just a tip of the iceberg. He is heavily involved in business, despite the moral and ethical dilemmas presented by a so-called politician’s dabbling in profit-making adventures. His business interests span the gambit; from sales and manufacture of bread, to transportation, supply and sale of meat and meat products, operation of equipment at the Gambia Ports Authority, the supply of consignment products to the hotel industry such as agricultural produce, meat and bread, and he owns nearly half a dozen highly mechanized farms in the Western and North Bank Division of our country; not to mention nearly hundred farms poor villagers all around the country are pressed into cultivating for him by village chiefs and commissioners.
