I give thanks and praises to the most high ALLAH for your reply to Bamba.I
donīt have time for such people who see people running and donīt know why
and join the race.Personally, I donīt know anyone at GAMBIANSONLINE.COM so I
have no reason to advertise it.People need a place where they can send not
only political issues but also religious
matters,I therefore refer them to GAMBIANSONLINE.COM.If you have some
problems with that, just come forward.
