Yusupha,
I strongly believe that between your good self and Allahu Subhana Wata'Alla,
you know very well that addressing me as 'Madame' was no accident! On three
occasions before i've come to your defense. Not for once did you mistake me
for a 'Madame'. About your homosexuality; i really care less! I have made my
position on that very clear when you had your fight with Ebou Jallow. In
fact you are quoting my lines here: "What a person does in the privacy of
their bedrooms is their business and no one else's."
Yusupha, why do you have to throw sand in the soup?? Is it because you were
not quoted? Allow me to explain! These samples of quotes were chosen from
21(twenty-one)people. You and others were among. I randomly selected the
names according to the frequency of each individual's contribution within a
time period. Some people i truly wanted to quote did not appear on the list
due to the simple fact that i wanted to avoid bias reporting! The lowest
common denominator here is, one time or another i have been inspired by each
and every quoted person. My personal/political differences(or none) with
them was never the issue! An example: one person i really wanted to quote
was Mr.. Momodou Sidibeh....I would have chosen to make it fifty-fifty
between the genders, but what the result showed was a 1:6. Yusupha it was a
random sample, and apart from being inspiring quotes sending them was a test
of my own consciensce and integrity!
I am appealing to you, let us not make this a big issue! If you want me to
make you a profile and a quotation...i will! No qualms there! You do not
have to start a fight! Brother continue to stand firm, but please grow up!
Be rest assured that i am not carrying a chip on my shoulder. I am in for
inspiration! No hard feelings!!!
Lamin Sanyang
NB: If that was a genuine mistake, then i accept your
clarification...('Tunkah'! (as my Serahule friend would say) addressing the
name Lamin Sanyang as Madame???)
"God grant me the serenity to accept
the things i cannot change, the courage
to change the things i can, and the
wisdom to know the difference." -Reinhold Niebuhr
