I knew you can be funny Demba. No it is not about Fatou because I don't  
think we have any disagreements as to Fatou's worth, value, or extant  
considerations. If you abandon search for knowledge at "Fatou's" expense, you  will live 
to averse me or other again. I'm not sure as a 'Newspaper' editor, you  can 
afford indiscriminate aversions of other.
 
Further, if you must know, Fatou has shared with me that you and Yero think  
well of me. I shared with her I, likewise, think highly of you. Not only that, 
 another of our mutual friends who is entirely separate from Fatou, perhaps  
unaware of each other, has shared some months back that you reserve a 
congenial  place for me in your heart. I had shared then that I do not know you but I 
know  of you and what little I may know is honourable. I indicated I would 
cherish the  opportunity to get better acquainted with you. Perhaps this were 
divine conduit  for such opportunity, albeit extraordinary, to be squandered?
 
Carpe Diem, for as you share, "We live in a small world". Not enough room  
for indiscriminate aversions.
 
God bless.
 
Your brother Haruna. Oh, before I forget, I meant to share with you that  
there's a knucklehead runnin around soliciting interview on Gainako's behalf.  
I'm not sure whether she does it on your direction but she is terribly  
unprofessional about it. You may reconsider Agency as you grow.

Haruna,

This was never about me or you. It is about Fatou. I  asked that we honor
what she stands for and rally our fellow citizens for a  cause she has given
so much for during the last year.  Any apologies  should be directed to her
and for turning off many people who stands toe to  toe with her in this fight
against injustice. We live in a small world and  our challenges cannot be any
greater than what we face as a people and  nation.

Moving on for a greater course...

Demba
