I'm glad you came to that realization. Your previous headings did not do
justice to the direct victims of this scheme. If we all keep quiet, then it
will be a coup. However, if Gambians abroad and those on the ground call
the scam its proper name, that will stop these liars. However, if we bicker
behind closed doors or be silent, that is the real coup in my opinion. You
will see a big difference if most Gambians register their disgust, for they
will know that folks are telling them that this is a scam.
