Karamba Sir,

I did not meant to hurt anybody and if i did hurt you, you have not made me understand how i did that. However, i still stand by the letters of my piece. 
One thing that need to be made clear is that you and i are making history every single day in our own way. You can choose to make your life history look bad and undesirable like that of MObutu, while on the other hand, you can trail on the good paths so that what you leave behind is memorable and desirable like that of Halifa Sallah. Karamba, the choice of which way you take is a right paramount to you and no one else. But, let me add a word of caution. If you choose the bad path, and then subsequently want to canvass for a public office, then you right for you bad deed to remain under carpet will be hijack in a very legal fashion. In the same direction, a person like you, Karamba not vying for a public office, i do not have any right whatsoever to circulate any bad information about you.

What i have summarised in my piece represent the best possible description i can give all the individuals i have mentioned. If you have any problem with anyone of those, i would certainly welcom your version, riddicling my own. I can assure you that i can defend myself with ample examples. I know a little about all the people i have mentioned. I have either met or attended the same forum with all of them under the same roof. Furthermore, like each of them, i also live in the Gambia. I have travelled and spent two or more nights in all the divisions of the country. Indeed, i understand that "Facts are stubborn things", especially, when they come at a wrong time. 

By the way if i still sound stupid, do not hesitate, to let me know. I take no offence at you comments.
           "No hard feelings"
