Hmmmmmmm!  And what is the source of this D1 million pledge?  His salary and
per diem?  Farming and animal husbandry?  Allah's bank?  I hope our people
are not going to turn the blind eye and just focus of what this money could
do for the players, but to start to address the main corrupting element in
our country - Yaya Jammeh.  This is yet another material that NADD can
discuss with Gambians.  Heck, this criminal is giving us evidence of his
criminal activities everyday, yet Gambians just stay mute, including all
those that were rounded up a couple of months ago for embezzlement.  It is
really interesting that in Africa, Presidents/thieves have more net
resources than the states they mislead.  Where as our state coffers are
empty, but Jammeh is so loaded that he can pledge D1 million to a soccer
team.  The same person rounding up folks for supposedly stealing D77,000.
Yet the APRC NAMs have no problem guarding the biggest thief in the history
of The Gambia, Yaya Jammeh.  Folks, these are the low hanging fruit in the
case against Jammeh that even the sycophant of the sycophants cannot defend.
  I wonder why, for 40 years we live on handouts as a nation.  Please read
on.

Ghana won 1-0 on Friday but both proceed to the Semi-final stage after
leading Group A on 6 points each. Same day, Group A mates, Mali and Burkina
