Thanks Joe!
I thought Galleh transfered the 'Chakri strings' to you when he broke the silence.
In any ways big boss Joe, thanks for this one.
They are delaying your colleagues case; i mean sister Fatou.
I am sure, you are boiling inside you.
Regards big boss, hopefully see you here soon if Chicago is coming for the soccer.
Regards to Uncle D. Sowe, Ous, Saul and his brothers.

Then when it comes to Gambia, Youssou is in love with our criminal in Yaya. My issues as a Gambian with the criminal empire we have far surpass my concern for Youssou as an individual any day and even Youssou would understand that and would do the same if he were in my shoes. I'm pretty sure if Yaya was replaced with Wade, Youssou would not dare sing his praise or grace his victory nonsense while the rest of Senegal mourn. So, why as a so-called conscience of Africa would such a person flip his script when it comes to our Gambian criminal? > > On the second score, the brother cancelled his appearance to the US because the US was leading the fabrication of the attack on Iraq, back in 2001 or so. Well and good. However, right in his own backyard, in the Gambia, a father, brother, and conscience of Gambia in Deyda was murdered in cold blood by the state, yet this same conscientious objector ditched his principles to go help the APRC make a mockery of our misery. Do you think if Wade had murdered a prominent son of Senegal, an African artist, much more a Gambian artist would dare appear there to put up a show for the accused? The answer is hell no. At this crisis juncture in Africa, the last thing we need is these praise singers to prop up murders and criminals at our expense. If I have issues with some of our people that join the murderers to continue to put a number on us, why on earth would I entertain Youssou or anyone in their place. Right now I do not have Youssou's time to be celebrating him. My own backyard is in flames, thus, my urgency will be spent in that effort. Youssou's connection to the Gambia is the Dalasi, just as the rest of the Senegalese musicians that sing our praise and we ought to recognize that fact. You will never hear them sing about the misery that you and I know is faced by the average Gambian daily, nor the illegal arrests and detentions, tortures, etc. I don't expect Youssou to fight our fight, but I will not be grinning if he is singing at my expense either. Njomborr, you can extend this message to your friend. If I ever meet the man again, these are questions I'm dying to confront him with. Yes Yero, to whom much is given, much is expected from. Gambia gave Youssou more than his fair share. It is about time he relate to the Gambian condition. Sorry, but Youssou must do right by us, first and a good start would be to stop stroking these criminals in Africa.> > Chi Jaama> > Joe> > > Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2008 21:08:39 -0500> From: [log in to unmask]> Subject: African Pride: Yusu Maa'ghigain!!!> To: [log in to unmask]> > http://www.gainako.com/> > A tribute like this one is a good one. Our Senegalese super star is a legendary star. The likes of Yusu-Maa’ghiigain are great Pan Africanists. I am sure his “Al-Samadeh” didn’t go well with many. Looking at its emergence, it might not be associated with Jammeh even. Many will also hold his neck for not boycotting a concern at a time in the Gambia, probably because of the expectations that people have in him, like my English teacher used to jokingly say time and again, “To whom much is given, much is expected.” Yusu’s music will live many years after him. It will be nice to start celebrating his achievements. Otherwise, we will want to stand at his tomb one day shedding tears of nostalgic memory. I am sure many others are. I might be a late comer but I like to magnify this one big time. I also thank the author (S.O Gigo) for a record-breaking piece about the superstar. > > Are you readyyyyyyyyyyyyy?> > > 'Talal lampayee yyyyyyyyyyy!!'> > Regards,> YJ> _________________________________________________________________> Need to know now?
