EBRIMA AND SOURCE:
I HAD AN INTERVIEW WITH DR MARK/MOCK BACK IN 1997 AT RADIO ONE FM ON A
PROGRAMME CALLED "TALK BLACK". MOST OF YOU MAY NOT REMEMBER THIS PROGRAMME
FOR IT HAD A SHORT LIVE. HOWEVER, DR MARK/MOCK ELABORATED ON HOW FORTUNATE
YOUNG AND ASPIRING GAMBIANS WOULD BE ONCE HE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO LAUNCH
HIS SCHOLARSHIP PROG. HE TALKED ABOUT SLAVERY AND HOW IT AFFECTED AFRICA IN
BOTH FINANCIAL AND HUMAN CAPITAL. TAKING QUOTATIONS FROM " THE BURDEN OF THE
BLACK MAN", "THE WRECKED OF THE EARTH" AND THE LIKES TO MAKE HIS POINT.
MY FASCINATION WAS WITH THE RAPIDITY I WAS OFFERED A SCHOLARSHIP. LIKE YOUR
SOURCE SAID EBRIMA, I DID ALL MY CORRESPONDENCES TO NO AVAIL. THERE IS NO
CREDIBILITY WHATSOEVER WITH THAT PROG.AND I BELIEF WITH THE MEN IN QUESTION.
THESE MEN AND THEIR INVOLVEMENT WITH THE GAMBIA MUST BE PROPELLED BY THE
EXPECTED SELFISH GAINS AND OR PROMISES GIVEN THEM.
CONGRATS FOR THE BREAK THROUGH EVERYONE!
NB: COPY OF THE INTERVIEW SHOULD BE IN THE RADIO ONE FM ARCHIVES.

>>Hi Ebrima,
>>
>>I hope you are alright and evrything out there is going fine. By the way
>>happy new year and may Allah shower His blessings and guidance to us all.
>>
>>kindly forward this email to the GAMBIA-L
>>.....................................................................
>>
>>I have followed with keen interest the opinions expressed on the
>>invitation
>>of Yankuba Touray and Tombong Saidy as guest speakers at Rust College.
>>Honestly, I've been more than impressed by the numerous reactions from the
>>Gambia-L, but moreso elated by the unanimous feeling of concern and
>>manifest love for our dear country presently handcuffed by bandits.
>>
>>But one issue which seems to escape the investigative skills of the galant
>>members of Gambia-L is the hidden hypocrisy and treachery of Dr Stoval. As
>>a young Gambian who years ago was scouting for scholarship to pursue a
>>degree programme in the United States, I was chanced to meet Dr Stoval at
>>the Badala Beach Hotel in 1997 while he was on his regular visits to the
>>Gambia with a group of students from Rust College. I was introduced to him
>>by one of the staff at the hotel. Dr Stoval handed me some leaflets with
>>Rust College logo stating that they had 20 scholarships for Gambians with
>>"A" Level and HTC certificates to pursue different degree programmes at
>>Rust College. Of course, noting the number of frustrated young Gambians
>>out
>>there, the leaflets were soon exhausted and the filled in applications
>>were
>>returned to Dr Stoval which he carried to the U.S.
>>
>>Thereafter, series of correspondence began between these young Gambians
>>and
>>Dr Stoval. After 4 months, Dr Stoval came back to the Gambia and said that
>>he wanted the passport size photos of all thiose who applied for the
>>advertised scholarships. These were handed and he went back to the U.S
>>with
>>them. However, during that visit, Dr Stoval had already collaboarated with
>>some the APRC idiots who introduced him to Yankuba Touray and Fatoumatta
>>Jahumpa. Two days after that, in the presence of a friend of mine at the
>>Foreign Affairs Dept, Dr Stoval was given a Gambian passport with another
>>guy from the U.S called Dr Mark.
>>
>>On their third visit in the same year, Dr Stoval and Dr Mark brought 10
>>bundles of printed shirts bearing the APRC logo and handed them to Yankuba
>>Touray in the presence of Baba Jobe and the late Staff Seagent Manneh. The
>>following day, they were escotted to the Ministry of Justice where they
>>signed documents and were handed two properties; one is a house in Fajara
>>and the other is a small hotel in Bakau known as the Romana Hotel, which I
>>think used to belong to one Mr Salifu Cham. These two mercenary university
>>lecturers used the hotel to house American students on visit to the
>>Gambia.
>>But the identity of the owners was never disclosed to the students.
>>
>>Meanwhile, those young Gambians continued to make series of follow ups to
>>the scholarsips promised to them. None of them never ever got these
>>scholarships and two of them wrote protest letters to all the senior
>>administrators at Rust complaining about the attitude of Dr Stoval. During
>>his visit to the Gambia in 1999, Dr Stoval reported one of these young
>>guys
>>to the NIA who detained him before he escaped to Senegal.
>>
>>The patriotic members of the Gambia-L must note that Dr Stoval is not only
>>a liar but also a traitor who has invited rasputins like Tombong and
>>Yankuba to have even greater accesss to the University of the Gambia where
>>he plans to lobby a visiting lecturer position. He as a sheep in wolf's
>>clothing and everything must be done to expose his hypocrisy. I patiently
>>await his reply to make yet more revealations.
>>
>>Cheers.
