"Does anyone think Jammeh giving the Scorpion players each D1 Million is
unethical?

Yes, of course it is unethical.  If it is unethical to dish them D1 mil.
when they became the "Champions"; if it is unethical to charter a flight to
Peru with 300 cronies; If it is unethical to dish out tens of thousands of
Dalasis to his supporters in New Your; then surely it is very very unethical
to dish out D24 mil. or more to the players, that is the sweat and blood of
Gambian tax payers.  He has robbed us blind and nothing can justify his scam
on Gambians.  However, just like folks that benefit from his Mecca tickets
will brand us as jealous or haters for saying anything against that act, the
relatives and friends and even average Gambians might view our objection as
hostile and against their interest.  As bizzare as it may sound, there are
Gambians that believe that Yaya got this wealth from Allah's bank, even with
the expose of his and Ebou's heist; crude oil I and II, etc.

Now, as to the rest that deal with Ebou Jallow, I'm pass that issue, and I
believe reasonable minds know that your beef is and should be with Ebou that
referenced and made claims against you.  Now if it is easier to address me,
by all means please continue.  I am dealing with Ebou as I always have -
royally.
