>> Born in cosmopolitan Basse in the late 1940s, Musa attended the village
>> primary school in colonial Gambia from where he proceeded to Armitage
>> High
>> School in George Town in the McCarthy Island Division. At armitage Musa
>> was a trailblazer noted for his charisma, camaraderie and captivating

>> marvelous grasp of the English Language recalls his good friend and
>> brother, Miami University Political Science Professor Dr. Abdoulaye
>> Saine.
>> In debates, seminars and symposia, Bala brought the best out of his sharp

>> success. Musa Bala was a debater per excellence; one of the most
>> brilliant
>> Gambians I know remarks a devastated soft-spoken Professor Saine.
>> When Musa wrote the School Certificate Examinations in the early, 1960s,

>> to the Sixth Form at The Gambia High School, the only class in the entire
>> nation. From The Gambia high school he was destined for greater academic
>> heights and so he matriculated to the prestigious Ile Ife University in
>> the Federal Republic of Nigeria under the tutelage of Professor Wole
>> Soyinka who would later receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. He read
>> Linguistics and English Language graduating with highest honours
>> returning
>> home with the golden fleece; a very unpretentious being yet one with a
>> penchant for intellectual discourse. In the gallery of Gambian
>> intellectuals, Musa Sey will be remembered as a very fine mind, a
>> peculiar
>> creed, a towering personality, an intimidating disposition with little
>> patience for stupidity especially, with those who spoke and wrote wrong
>> English.
>> The last time I saw him in 1995, he had as always, a copy of the latest
>> edition of Readers' Digest.
>> He was the premiere Administrative Officer at the African Center for
>> Democracy & Human Rights Studies and had worked at various others offices
>> and establishments that almost all knew him. Musa Sey taught English
>> Language at The Gambia College, and at almost all the premiere high
>> schools in the country-Saint Augustine's, Gambia High, Muslim High and
>> Armitage. In 1992, he briefly served as Editor of The Gambia Daily
>> Observer. He once served as Deputy Divisional Commissioner under the late
>> NIA Chief Daba Marena at his native Basse. Two loving daughters, Yaya
>> Sey,
>> 17 and Yawureh Sey, 13 survive Musa Sey. May the Almighty God grant Musa
>> Sey's gentle, loving and caring soul eternal peace in Heaven. Given the
