Indeed malanding. our scholars trivialise this kind of stories. but there is a lot of moral lessons in the epic encounter. what i can truly see is the issue of using power of wealth and fame to little others. the religiousness of a person or lack of it have no bearing of his humanity, our maker wouldn't allow dehumanisation of another human. whatever the actions of a man, he is at the end of the day a human. he/she may change. the efforts of bakary nyominko paid off may be due to his belittlement by the powerful Mr ceesay. the song that follows is also very loaded. the words. jung me helaban lun is very interesting. and the words mansaya tee mobalila sayala mume is also deep words. whatever happens was some thing we need to dig up for.

the story and many others - fables, morals or pure fabrications are
worth the time of our scholars.
If you ask me the story is very revealing in that it happened is Bintang
(a Portuguese trading post/settlement), between Bakary Nyominko
/Kassongko (Sere - believed to be the first to settle the Niumi), and
Masane Ceesay (supposedly a not so religious Mandingka marabou/trader).
Was Masane's death the case of beauty and the beast? Did the lady killed
monster Masane? Was it that he could not be saved by his Muslim Allah
from the powers of traditionalist Fulbe's talisman? Or perhaps it all
goes to show that the epic battle between good and evil was not only
fought in Hollywood /Disney movies? Where are the scholars?
