Brother Habib,
Don't mind this Drammeh Kunda man! Reliable sources say he lives somewhere
very close to Saudi Arabia. And the love for living nocturnal during Ramadan
is one reason for that! As for your daughter, I guarantee that she is in
good hands. Our love for food should be a plus during Ramadan.
I say a peaceful Ramadan to all out there including the big names that made
the last year on Gambia-l memorable namely, Sister Fatou Jahumpa, Sister
Jabou, Sister Soffie Ceesay, M.L. Jassey-Conteh, Dr. Amadou Scatter-Janneh,
Dampha Kebba, Hamjatta Kanteh, Dave Manneh, Momodou Olly-Mboge, George Sarr,
Pa Momodou Gassama to name a few. I pray that the coming year would be an
even more peaceful year for all Gambians and G-lers.
Malanding Jaiteh

Bassirou
Are you serious? my in laws from badibou must really love food.
Fortunately our fasting days are short (average time 5 am to 5 pm) here in
the USA (cold weather helps too so less sweating) .
I tell you they must be distant cousins to the Saudis who sleep all day
until asr prayers and close to iftar time, and then feed themselves all
night until suhur (before fajr time) during Ramadan.
Here it has been confirmed today ,the moon was seen in Califonia a while
ago so none of the Ceesays her can escape that verdict(laugh)
May we meet next year in good health
best regards
Habib

> Before wishing well and praying for the entire Gambia-L family on
account of the advent of the Holy month of Ramadan,I would like to inform
about the enormous amount of energy and effort expended by some folks in
Basse,Badibou and Kartong these past few days to discourage others from
looking for the new moon just so that Ramadan would be delayed for one more
day.Its amazing the lenght to which some people are prepared to go for that
extra afternoon bite one more time!!

>Somebody has even intimated that he has seen a Badibunka who was
seriously thinking of taking a French Leave to Mauritania,the only country
in the Moslem world not to consider Fasting a pillar of Islam, just so he
also wouldn't have to go through the "ordeal".Some folks would do
practically anything when the comfort of their stomachs is threatened.

>Delayed or not,its here nonetheless and I guess these folks must learn to
live with it.Afterall, its only thirty days or less.Ramadan Kareem and peace
and prosperity to everyone in this L-family.
