Mr Khan,
    With all due respect am sure Mr Kanteh can fight his own battles. What I told
Mr Kanteh was not cheap shot, but rather a genuine point anyone will tell another
brother, i.e. they should never be rude to their women folk. You should know
better, as you are raving on about mastering the Quran at the tender age of 11
(something to do with you being of the Fulani tribe or another).
The teaching of the Qu'ran unequivocally stated that women should be treated
gently, as each woman is someone's mum, aunt, sister, niece etc. I wonder if Mr
Kanteh had used his words on your women folk, what your reactions would have
been.

 By the way I happily attend Southampton University, and if you know anything
about Science and Technology institutions in the UK, you will realise that we do
not come bottom of the list. Do your research, mate.
People (UK citizens and residents, anyway) will tell you that going to Oxford
does not make anyone super clever, but rather what Public school (private as they
are called in The Gambia) they attended. I did not attend Eton, or Bracknell
Manor college, so am quite happy with my place at The University of Southampton
Computer and Electrical Science school.

I did not pick a fight with anyone and run, ( that's not in my niancho blood).  I
always state my points and I make sure that in the process am not rude to anyone.

All I told you with regards to the Independent Issue was that as they were a
profit making organisation, I would not be parting with my meagre university
grant. I did not know that you took it so much at heart and also so personally. I
apologize and take and it back.
There are more pressing issues at hand for us and our dear country, which is ever
dropping closer to the abyss by the day.
Let us put our energies into that, Mr Khan.

By the way, I was very offended by you calling Almamo's death, deserving of him
and that he had it coming to him. He did not drop from the sky you know, he too
is someone's relative!!!! Be careful what you say, Mr Khan.
Mr Kanteh just lives 40 minutes drive from me, and if it necessary I will drive
down there and apologize to him in person.
Let's put this sad saga behind us and move on, as I said there are more pressing
issues.

Good day.
