Essa,

One big problem with you is that you do not listen to yourself when you write. You tend to muddle things and bring up topics that are alien to what is being discussed. I merely asked a question about something you wrote and you unlocked purgatory's gate with allegations totally irrelevant to an answer. My question was about Isatou Njie-Saidy's birthright and you brought up her husband. By bring the late Jaye Saidy into this, shows how little you know me. Ask Jaye's companions about my relation with him and you will get a brighter picture of our relation. And by the way thank you for your generosity in making me an "Oko-Marabou" and a Muslim "pan de bargain". But remember, not all "Oko-Marabous" or Akus came from Port Loko or Kabadaa.
 

Essa, you complained about me calling you Essa. Well the similarities between you and Essa Bokary Sey are so overwhelming that it wont be amiss to call you Essa. Here are 10 reasons to let you see why:

 1.) Like Essa Sey, you are a staunch supporter of Jammeh's incompetent regime.
 2.) Like Essa Sey, you always answer people's question with a question.
 3.) Like Essa Sey, you are fond of threatening those who oppose Yaya Jammeh with the intervention of the NIA.
      Last year, it was Ebrima Ceesay and Amadou Kabir Njie, Now it's the whole of Gambia-L.
 4.) Like Essa Sey, you are also fond of quoting Greek or Roman Literature of which you are not verse.
 5.) Like Essa Sey, you have shown your disdain for anybody on this list with "Dr." before his name.
 6.) Like Essa Sey, you are one of those using the e-mail address [log in to unmask] (The "Homeostatist"}
 7.) Like Essa Sey, you have stated that some of us are not your opponents but your enemies.
 8.) Like Essa Sey, you like to lace your sentences with French quotations to exhibit your knowledge of the "Lang".
 9.) Like Essa Sey, you tend to have a vast reservoir of knowledge of Jokadu and Nuimi.
10.) Like Essa Sey, you have become the CLOWN of Gambia-L.

If the above similarities are not homologous to your writings and attitude, then I may be referring to Alieu S. Keita.

Furthermore, please consider using another name, for the use of a great person's name like Yero/Yoro Mama Khan is an insult to all his descendants. It is like a Jew naming his son Adolf, after Adolf Hitler. You have proved yourself to be exactly the opposite of what Yoro Mama stood for.  I will not be drawn by you into a discussion about Jokadu or Pa Abou. First find out why a member of Jokadu was the first ever MP to have crossed-carpet in the Gambia and why Jokadu is the only constituency in the Gambia that has elected a member to all the governments we have ever had, dating back to pre-independence.
Essa, If you really want to know about me, go to the Manjago hamlet of Prince in Jokadu and ask them who I am.

Finally, you have been of late somewhat triumphant in your discourse with Alhaji Mustapha Fye. It seems as if you are happy with the demise of Alhaji's business, well I would like to remind you of that popular Gambian saying that "That a wish is like a house  ...", so never forget to keep your words spicy or soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.


Prince

NB.
Essa, you implored me not to use the word "Hell", but you used the same word in one reference to Alhaji Fye. You see what I am saying?
