MY LOVE AND DEFENCE OF THE JOLA CIVILIZATION

By Prince Bubacarr Aminata Sankanu, Cologne, Germany

Angry new year 2012 to you all. Yes angry so that you can, for once, honour your god-damned resolutions. My resolutions? Well, I will not talk to women who are addicted to fake hair, skin bleaching, unnecessary plastic surgery, fast food, vanity, burka and co. The period of pardon is over. Henceforth any smart lady who wants me to date her, talk to her informally, grant her formal princely audience or give her role in my film/theatre projects must first remove her wigs, weaves, fake skin colour, exaggerated religious dress and all the other superficial nonsense.

Senegalese Media Mogul Elhaddji Ndiaye Says He Is Richer Than Youssou Ndour!

Senegalese media mogul Elhaddji Ndiaye said he is richer than Youssou Ndour, the multimillion platinum Grammy winner artist.  Mr. Ndiaye is upset with the Senegalese Presidential hopeful move to hire one of his 2STV Television staffers Ms. Kebs Thiam after the latter violated contractual agreement she reached with 2STV, Mr. Ndiaye alleged. “ If Youssou Ndour thinks that by taking the garbage in my house,  it will do him any good, he must be mistaken,” Elhaddji Ndiaye said while referring to Madam Thiam whom he accused of leaving a bad work legacy at his television.  He said the popular anchor Kebs Thiam was not getting along with his staffers prior to her leaving 2STV.

Hello Mr. Mbai,

I trust all is well with you. As a concern Gambian living in Canada, I would like to draw your attention to the article on Daily Observer dated on the 13/01/12 caption: A CANADIAN COMPANY MANAGEMENT HOLDINGS LIMITED (LMT) to commence operation in the Gambia in the area of housing developing. Quite funnily, there is no Canadian company investing in over 80 countries in the world with the name Management Holdings Limited.

Missing Kanilai Patrol Team Members Have Been Receiving Their Monthly Salaries For the Past Two Years!

The detained Kanilai patrol team members: Wo2 Bai Lowe, Staff Sergeant Abdoulie Jallow, and Lance Corporal Anthony Mendy have been receiving their monthly salaries since their detention back in July 8 2010, according to Gambia Armed Forces accounting records.  Interesting revelations! Will CDS Massaneh Kinteh and his Deputy join the erstwhile Secretary General Ousman Jammeh at Mile Two prison for allowing the soldiers salary to run without  being cleared of any wrongdoing? Are interdicted soldiers entitled to monthly salary without their cases decided?  How broken is the Jammeh system? That arrested soldiers can continue to collect their monthly salaries through their loved ones, or colleagues  for over two consecutive years without GAF’S command catching the irregularities. 

Imam Ba-Kawsu Fofana Launches An Attack On The Jammeh State House Mosque!

By Karamba Touray

I listened to the tirade from Ba Kawsu Fofana that was ostensibly a Friday prayer Qutba in which he attacked Imam fatty of State House for using his perch at the Minbar on November 11 to deliver a campaign speech and engage in sycophancy bordering on hearsay. There is nothing new in that reported conduct of Imam Fatty because he has long established himself as a manifest hypocrite who routinely makes it his job to tailor his religious pronouncements to suit his fidelity to a tyrant. He fits no reasonable person's definition of an honest Muslim. He is and has always been a political hack who uses the religion of Islam as a vehicle to cultivate and maintain favors.
