Truely speaking there are some people we should always encourage. Encourage
in so many ways. They are the hard working people, the people who don't
sleep the whole night. They are here. Yellowgate is a popular and a
professional music recording studio. Wherever you go you find this name but
who is behind?
Elie Nachif, the man behind and always pushing yellowgate forward. Besides
Gambian musicians especially the young rappers can stand by me that he
derserves a tap on the Back.
Ello, is not only for yellowgate products but when you talk to him,he is
always concerned about qualitity.
Recently he wrote appologising for Fatelleku II delay, but I called him to
ask what happened, Elo told me "U know am always busy doing some quality
recording I don't want people feel Bad about me..and people are still
waiting for that Album" He added that this time with
with more taste.
Let's support this man.
To Ello, you doing it well,You're worth emulating, keep it up,and Bravo to
you and the staff of your studio.
Long live Yellowgate
Omar Sallah.
GRTS.
The Gambia.

>As a matter of fact I think some of you ranging from
>Mr. Buharry Kassama to the other critical observers

>evolved beyond where tribalism would undermine our
>common mixed heritage. Mr. Kassama even added some

>meddle with the soldiers' problems in fear of being

>will be amazed by what I think some of you are trying

>Having said that, I further could not help wondering
>how trivial issues such as missing the location of
>Captain Cherno Jallow from Fajara Barracks to
>Sierraleone could be blown as the doubting factor to
>my statement that Yaya as a coup conspirator once
>jailed him. I thought the best way to discredit that

>was not the only name I gave there. What really
>happened to the rest? At least you could have told me
>that they were in Germany therefore I was lying that
>Yaya once locked them up in death row for dubious coup

>Some of you civilians there may not know it but every
>time you attempt to justify Jammeh's brutality towards
>the soldiers you seriously hurt so many of them who
>are silently watching with deep emotional pain.
>Believe me gentlemen we the soldiers have suffered so
>badly in that so-called military government that if
>the tides of history were to change its flowing
>pattern and Yaya was out today, most of you would be
>shocked with what is hidden below the muddy waters.
>Did you ever hear about the story of Lance Corporal
>Kebbeh who is today living with his family in Banjul
>as a half person? This young soldier was accused of
>coup conspiracy and shot at point range on his right
>leg. Then he was refused proper medical attention
>until the leg healed improperly leaving him with one
>leg three to four inches shorter than the other one.
>He spent three years in mile Two central prisons
>without trial before he was released and dismissed
>from the force. There was the story of corporal Jallow
>as well who is currently serving a nine-year prison

>secretly court martial and sentenced.

>These are the hard facts I want to hear Jammeh's
