Sister Jabou, I beg to differ with you on the mosque issue. What do you think will happen if, one day Gambia votes in a President and he/she happens to be christian or animist? Upon being sweared in, happens to feel insecure or lazy to attend mass or rituals and decide to build a Jallang or Church on the same STATE HOUSE premises. Jawara was 1000x more pious than Jemus and Fatty combined and could have erected a mosque within. Common sense prevailed as he could have opened up a pandoras box, for Jammeh to put up his rightful jallang instead of mosque. What if Jammeh were true to himself and had erected a Jallang instead of mosque? Would youi still support the move?
