Brain of Gambia aims to enhance the information base of participants and
afford them the opportunity to yield value for other than self. The questions
will encourage learning by Research and information retrieval or
problem-solving.
Participants will contribute $5.00 per month. This amount will enable the
participant and their immediate family (as designated by the participant but
limited to 3 per household) to participate in a monthly Quiz on Ellen. The
first participants will lay down the ground rules.
"bro harouna Al Rachied, yes it was an honorary degree from gambia
University in cordination with St mary's college" Bourghibe.
Quiz #7. What discipline did Dr. Isatou Njie Saidy receive a doctorate in?
$5.00
Ans.: Ajaratou Isatou Njie Saidy did not receive a doctorate in any
discipline. She however was accorded an honorary Doctorate by Bill Roberts, Professor
of Anthropology at St. Mary's College of Maryland.
Bourghibe, Your winnings in this question are therefore revised to $0.00
Please adjust accordingly.
By virtue of it being answered, this question is now off the roll.
Quiz. #2. Name the tributaries of Gambia River from its source to the
Atlantic. $20.00.
"the Nieriko from north and kuluntu(gray river still empty thier waters at
the mouth of the River gambia so they can qualify as tributaries" Bourghibe.
A Tributary is a stream directly issuing from a river. Tributaries generally
are created a result of:
a). Unsustainable meander of a stream - This is a temporal phenomenon in the
life of a stream because it is a pre-cursor to the formation of an island.
b). Fissure through weaker rock in the direction of flow of the stream. This
phenomenon results in lake formations or conjoining streams.
c). A combination of unseasonal flow rate and banks that are lower in relief
than the stream basin.
A look at the course of the Nieriko and Kulountou streams will reveal flow
from higher relief into the river Gambia. The Gambia River basin is the lowest
elevation among its surrounding relief. A cursory look at their flow courses
could reveal that their source is not The Gambia River. They empty into The
Gambia River. I will do more research into these two rivers Bourghibe.
Meanwhile, your winnings remain at $3.00. This question is still available for
answers.
Quiz #4. How many docks and or berths exist(present tense) at the Gambia Port
in Banjul? $10.00
"the number of docks/wharfs are nine and can name them too- soffi walterr,
maurel fress, maurel prom , UAC, companie cfao, bartess, marine , waffi njaggo
government customs waff-- your question did not specify time period so I am
right on the dot maybe now i do not know -this were pre independence time"
Bourghibe.
Bourghibe, you still have time to forward a correct answer. The question
needs the number of docks/wharves that exist now at the Port in Banjul. It
connotes Docks/wharves in good working order. If you however give me the correct
number of wharves and tell me which of them are in good working order and
which are not, that will qualify as the correct answer. Not pre-colonial or post
colonial docks/wharves.
Your winnings are still $0.00 on this question. I like your effort in
sharing names of the wharves with us so you have now earned $2.00 of the possible
$10.00.
This question is therefore open to all colleagues for correct answer for
$8.00
"remember i do not want any of the winnings" Bourghibe.
I understand Bourghibe. You are only participating to yield value for Other.
You have earned a lot for her already. Go all the way. If you look at the
value attached to the questions, they cannot possibly make our participants rich
or they may not even be needed by the participants. However, the prospect of
doing another a good turn while at the same time enhancing the information
base of your colleagues seems to me a worthwhile endeavour. I appreciate your
participation and I think you stand to be of enormously more value to your
colleagues. Do not get discouraged. There will not be any changing of any rules
mid-stream Bourghibe. You and I will both aim to afford accurate and precise
information to enhance our information base.
