Hamjatta,
I most tell you that I am so dissapointed with the way you tried to bring in someone's family members into trying to make your political point. I care less, what you might have to pick with Sister Jai, and if your facts were right, I probably would not have tried to get into it.
Let me put certain facts right. YOU HAVE NEVER met Sister Jai's father as you alledged in Farafenni. He NEVER lived there and NO, he was no petty trader.
Secondly, none of those you mentioned including my younger brothers were even up to school age when Sister Jai was in the Gambia.
On another note, her Mom never benefitted from a ticket for a Hajj.
I am glad you respect or should I say act like you do, other people's political opinion, but I am urging you to stop dragging family issues into politics. Deal with the person you are arguing with on the issues raised.
Let me take this opportunity to tell you that Hassanatou is a niece of sarjo Jallow. Sister Jai is busy with some other commitments right now and she is not subscribed to the List. I know that yours or any body of that matters and this includes Kebba jallow's criticisms against Sarjo Jallow as long as he is a public figure should be expected. It is unfortunate and obvious that we are not very sensitive to the way we do this at times without bringing in one's family ties to it.

Yusupha Jow: I do not have to be ashamed of any thing on this List and in life. I came into this Country as a young Gambian and went to school to better myself on my own merits. I never had any scholarships from any government if not what I earned whiles going to school here. I came here in the years of recession and wokred down loading containers, security guard, and even a cook in a restaurant.And I am a very proud of my achievemnets. In case you even want to know, I am above the middle income earner even in the United states. No job in this world will be more rewarding than what I do now as a Nurse Manager with one of the largest Health Netwroks in the UNited States. And again, this is all by my own merit. And I can always raise my hands that I came from very good parents who did EVERYTHING they could for me. I told you in a private mail before that I do not wish to launder my clothes in public, but if you want to go low, keep trying and soon you will find the limit. So good luck.

Ousman Jallow Bojang.
