Bamba Laye;

I want to comment on the unfolding debate between Ebrima and Kebba Jobe,
knowing fully well that some people might not like my opinion.

My appeal is simple:

Please cool down and listen to what the guy is saying, only then can you
fully understand how lucid he sounds.

The guy Jobe should be engaged in a discourse devoid of anger, and I trust
that this can be done in a mature way, just like how ebrima is handling the
debate, notwithstanding Jobe's true identity. If some of us choose to hide
our identities, then i believe he can also do the same. We should not waste
time in trying to decipher his true identity when what GAmbians need is a
genuinine discourse of the plight of our dear country.

The opposityon should be able to win the day based on debates and ideas
ONLY. Then and only then will they win over some of the more aware Gambians.

If you want to win some of us over then it is high time you started or
joined the debate and dispute what this guy Jobe is saying or implying,
"pound for pound". If you can do this without showing any negative emotion
(eg anger), then i for one will accord you respect.

I am sure that the majority of GAmbians do not want an angry opposition,
because an angry opposition would not see "the bigger picture".

Some of the people on the list might not want to called angry, but believe
me, some of you guys sound really livid.

Please guys don't let your anger cloud your vision because what gambia needs
now is vision and ideas that will get them out of this quagmire. Anger, they
definately do not need.


no hard feelings.
