No Jabou, I dugged nothing. Read below. After all Binneh is Essa Sey. The
moment he was threatened to be exposed he requested to be unsubscribed. Now
if Binneh is Former Ambassador Essa Sey, are you going to now lie that you
do not know Binneh? You guys High Fived here a zillion times before.
Please read below. Jabou, You shall be exposed for what you are. It's
coming.
