Aaaaaaah!  The chicken has come home to roost, yet again.  Some of us have
been warning Gambians about Ebou, but true to form, some among us pretend
like they did not see the danger and criminal mind that is Ebou and call him
smart, intelligent, intellectual, etc.  How can we mistook a criminal mind
for intelligence?  Why are we even loosing sweat on yet another criminal
creation from Ebou?  There are some Senegalese among us and they have an
Embassy in the US and they know what to do to even the score with Ebou if
they wish to, so no need to counsel Ebou, for what?  This is what I do not
understand.

The interesting thing here is that with all this effort and supposed service
for Yaya, why is Ebou not gone to Gambia folks?  Why?  Ebou gambled wrong
again and now he is in limbo and will continue to push the envelop.  Each
time I remind him about the money he stole from Gambians, you see the very
Gambians go technical with me, invoking the name of God as the last judge,
or manipulate the rules of evidence and pretend to be ambivalent.  Unless we
make up our minds and call a criminal and a liar just what they are we shall
remain surprised by Ebou.  We need to stop pretending to be saints here and
act human.  If the situation demands lashing out on a criminal and liar, by
all means unload on him and move on.  Even the very very obvious, I see
grown men and women dance around it, because of "Maaslaa" or putting up a
"nice person" image.  Being nice and cordial is a good thing, however, it
has its place.  You'll have let Ebou loose in the water for too long.
Folks, this is a case of "Moor Muna Faaye (he is a good swimmer), and the
fool says "Taaka lene Ma Lankaar" (tie an anchor to my feet to show you my
prowess).  I say let the sucker drown.  I know some of you are currently
invoking "Aastafurlaa", but the conscious will say ameen to that.

Ebou is a criminal and Yaya is a criminal, and they are equally good liars
in their own right.  Ebou is working on Yaya but Yaya has his cards close to
his chest and is the reason for this hustle.  Ebou tried being a wedge
between Yaya and some of his surrogates, offer diasporans as sacrifice,
begged, cried, and now he is digging deep in his arsenal of filth to include
Wade.  Watch out General Seck!  Who the hell is General Seck by the way?
Don't be surprised if Obasanjo, Mbeki, or Mandela are sprinkled as bonus in
the rampage.  Ebou called all of us losers in the Gambian press, so why are
we so surprised and concerned if he lied about Wade and the Senegalese?  If
anything, we should hope that the Senegalese government go after him, rather
than we counsel him.  That is the mixed signal I still do not understand.
