Maybe, I am missing something here. Where did Haruna call chicago "shit-side"? I remember him calling Chicago using the urban terminology "Shitown". Some people use the spelling "Shytown" to refer to Chicago. That surely can't be conflated to a derogatory reference.

I wasn't going to opine on this until Jabou respond to Haruna's notes.But I see that it is getting a life of it's own with Yero using the same cudgel to hit Haruna on an un-related issue...vis-a-vis his absence from a conference in Chicago.

I will love to see where Haruna made off handed and derogatory remarks towards Chicago. I must have missed that email.

Sister Jabou & Ousman,
 
Ousman, greetings there! I keenly followed the debate of my friend Haruna. I think that he is too much into this Edwards fellow to an extent, far in his support of him-'el d' gore.' Having said that, he deserves a pardon from both you and Jabou. If Haruna were of the Black Panthers like my friend, Dr. Larry Pinkney, that would have been another excuse I would take from him, for the later alleged of Obama’s pretentious black blood but dines the opposite. Further that he boycotted their rallies. I will check my archives to forward the said piece which I didn’t end up publishing. But it is obvious if Obama joins them in their activism, there is a tendency to loose the opposites' support today. So he (Obama) is playing his politics well. 
 
On the other hand, Haruna’s John Edward Darboe won’t make a bad president like some of the world’s characters observed, notably Bush and Blair moving the world to wars. That’s a complete turn-off. 
 
In my view, Obama is a hope for liberation for both the minorities and the many others trapped in the ‘color’ panorama. The latest smear campaign against the guy about attending ‘dara’ at younger age, or being from a Muslim family is in fact a plus to the guy. The Clinton Campaign is not scoring points with it. In fact, hardly will any listen to them. If such is to be raised at all, then that would violate the very religious tolerance they are preaching. It brings to memory our Muslim brother in Congress from Minnesota whose records of modesty is in the open-The Honorable Keith Ellision (May God prolong his life.) The US congress came to disarray upon his decision to take oath using the Holy Quran then. The ‘storms in the tea-cups’ then were not justified because what you believe in, take oath with it. 
 
Lastly, Haruna missed the beauty of Chicago when he had an opportunity to grace UGAMA on Labor Day (September 2007) at the mid-west conference. He was no where to be seen or heard on the phone despite numerous fruitless efforts, but those that did will not tease at Chicago in the way he did. 
 
So my challenge to him is to layout John Edward Darboe’s plan of actions.
 
Otherwise, thanks for the debate, and all three of you have some educative points.
 
Regards, 
Yero.
