"If every Gambian sense of responsibility is close to what i see at the PDOIS political Bereau, we would have made a superb achievement of our goals as a nation".  Pa Pierre

Mr Pa Pierre, 

Are you trying to insult every Gambians sense of responsibility here, or what?

Please explain, because this sentence does not sound good!

Brethren Yanks!




> Dear Haruna,

> I have stated in the past that you belong to fine calibre of inellectuals. A trait that stands out among your other attributes is how you employ the Socrates techniques of using opponents statements to shackle them intellectually. I do not wish to pick a debate with you; Needless to say, do not bother to shackle me.
>
> I have a few observasions and objections to unfold on your table. PDOIS, or Halifa, Sam and Sedia, are not wolfs in sheep clothings. They are not angels chanting satanic pranks either. They are men like you and i. Men who deliberately chose to lead a livestyle less confortable than i guess yours and mine. In view of this you may use your own yardstick to determind where u want to place them.

> In Gambia, i had the rare opportunity to interact with many personalities of high esteem, but almost in all cases, i come out of the experience with a disappointing impressions. Every department i walk into, welcomes me with that ugly vice of corruption. Nawec, Gptc, Gamworks, Customs, portauthority, Gcaa, Gamtel, Police, etc. All the places i names, i can mention an incident of corruption i was forced to be part of or some how know about it by virture of my position at the time in question. On the other hand, what i saw when i walk into PDOIS political Bereau is humanity at its best. Dedication, Devotion and Determination to Duty is second to none in the entire Gambia. If every Gambian sense of responsibility is close to what i see at the PDOIS political Bereau, we would have made a superb achievement of our goals as a nation.

> While i was in High school, we would converge in serrekunda for private studies with Sam Sarr of PDOIS. I would normally go to this class with my Maths problems and i have never paid a dime for this bi-weekly classes. Other students come with chemistry problems, others Physics and Sam was amaising during those encounters. He walks into the class empty handed and it was just amaising how he was solving problems he has not had time to rehease. Halifa, i bet you my brother, you probably do not want me to go through what u and i already know. Sidia, with whom i had little or no interaction, except to say the Arabic version of Foroyaa newspaper published in the 90s was probably his translations. I was buying the arabic version regularly for my Mandinka neighbor.

> Haruna, when u try to draw a parallel between respect for personalities of PDOIS and the votes they gain at election as your bases of condemning Halifa, then it will be tantamount to employing the mockery tactic used by one of the robbers on the cross with Jesus Christ; That if jesus was really the son of God why does he had to share the same fate as they the robbers. That is a fallacy which challenges the notion that; if PDOIS was a fine calibre of Men the onus is on it to attract a large following. How can we blame God for making hell gate larger then Heaven gate. In short, God is good, but it is our responsibility to draw close to god by fulfilling his commandments and not the other way round. Pdois has demonstrated with their little resources that they are good It is therefore our responsibility to vote for them and not their responsibility sir.

> I know you will be surprise that i had all this to say today. I am using this opportunity to respond to several of your previous postings which have been consistent in their condemnation of Halifa and PDOIS.
