If I meet the President : Questionaire-Town Crier Writes!!
Tuesday, November 06, 2007 (1058 reads)
.jpg) Those of us who have lived longer than Mr. AIDS doctor Jammeh wish we could go back and live in the past even though some of our roads won't be paved. Yes some of the schools we have today won't be there and yes again some of our hospitals and dispensaries will not be here. It won't make a big difference since most of these are white elephants. We will be better off since we will be sure to go to bed and rise up in peace the next day. But in our today's Gambia one has to thank their gods if they make it alive the day since no one seems to know what President's "Lastacarr" has seen over the
night.

A Tribute to A Phenomenon – Moses Sarr a.k.a. Zico
By Pa Louis Thomasi
The roads to Half-Die mourn. Leman, Charles, Williams, Hurst and Hagan Streets remain desolate. The youth groan and remain silent, speechless and dumb. Moody clouds hung over Banjul as grief and sadness reigns supreme, for one of our greatest sons had fallen. Let our melancholy and bleakness be heard in the confines of New Jeshwang; Tell our friends and brothers in Basse about our affliction and misery; Let the echoes of our cries and glumness be heard abroad in Senegal and Germany; Let the nation know that a great son of the soil had finally slept where our forefathers dwell. Moses Sarr, alias ZICO is no more.
