Ginny,
The comment of Nderry you shared may be the best submission that Nderry is
not narcissistic or listless.

Hello, Omar, your perspective is interesting and worth noting. My take is
that of a very far observer. I'm sure my take would be different had I known
Pa Nderry. All I can go on is what's in his paper, and he's got many issues
as I've noted before, so I won't rehash them.
The best thing I've heard/read all day is the suggestion that if we don't
like his paper we just shouldn't read it, but methinks a lot of people like
juicy gossip, whether it's true or false.
I feel myself aboutto segway into an unrelated topic, so will go for now.

take on Pa. He's ambitious and he would go great lengths to get his names out
there. When he gets the story right, he's among the best. Those are the days
when you'd rush to the Westfield junction to buy a copy of the observer or the
Point, because he was capable of breaking a story to the two top papers in
the Gambia. I am talking about the days of Alieu Badara Sowe (Mam bowe I
called him), Bunja Touray (Ndokeh)of the Gambia Daily newspaper (is that paper
still around?), Demba Jawo, Sherif Bojang, Baboucarr Sankanu (my favorite
Sarahule) just to name a few.> > I remember having an after-work conversation with
one of these honorable gentlemen, and Pa's name came up, and we both agreed
he needs to be a little bit more careful. Grant it I worked for a National
public medium at the time, and I loved it but I couldn't speak like Pa. But I
always wondered about his reports. His reports were very similar to the ones of
the late Momodou Musa Secka's (may his soul rest in perfect peace). Well
M.M. Secka, reported on hotshots he new very well and will definitely make money
off of it. He was guaranteed trouble -free even if the reports were not
accurate. Things got better for him when he settle-in at the Gambia Daily. Pa on
the other hand was for the name and not so much for the money and that's why
he had more trouble with the authorities than most other reporters. I'd
always confused him with greedy reporters, but again am even more confused about
his ethics as a journalist. > > Before judging him, I think we need to figure
out whether it is his natural habit to make stories up or something else. If
it is habit, can we teach an old dog a new trick?> > PS. I know M.M. Secka
is no longer with us. I didn't bring up his name to disrespect him. My apology
to anyone this comparison may offend. After all he was a legend in his own
way. My hat off to him.> > > > > -----Original Message-----> From: The Gambia
