I cannot help but applaud you on this very dynamic analysis of the Kebba
JOKES and DIRTY Nyings of this world. Hell is the only fitting reward for
such slimy hypocrites. It is good that GOD is indeed not sleeping. The devil
(Jemus Junkung)and his team will all burn in the eternal raging pit of fire
one day. Jemus, Kebba JOKE, DIRTY Nying and all the rest of the devil's band
cannot escape the fruit of their labours. No one can.
