>>This is for Joe Sambou, could you for once be happy, or even, just pretend

>>>Jallow; giving his supporters in the US tens of thousands of dollars; and

>>>care; crumbling infrastructure; a bankrupt state, etc. And so, do

>>>If Yaya inherited his wealth, or patented a product to justify his

>>>as he pleases. However, he did not earn it with his less than $1,500 a

>>>Yaya
>>>came to the scene poor and malnourished and could not even cure his mouth
>>>sores (ratatoi). With our coffers, he has done well for himself at the

>>>What obtains in our country today is Gambians have resigned themselves to
