---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- OPTV has just received the news that Baba Jobe's mobile telephone was snatched from him because he was receiving calls while in detention.One of his close friends(name with held) was called at the NIA and questioned over a call that he made to his buddy.Baba Jobe's rights as a human being are being trampled upon by a mad man who until few months ago was using Jobe on every aspect. According to sources the NIA said that none should call Jobe because he is in communicado.Halifa Sallah raised the issue at a working dinner or forum they held with the British diplomats some time back.Halifa and his colleagues should be supported by all and sundry to fight against such injustice.So Baba Jobe is being jailed before the court's ruling? When I refer to the blatant nepotism some of us turn their mouths on me calling me a tribalist.I am not tribalist and never will I entertain it.I do speak Fula,wolof and Mandinka fluently.My home Town Fatoto is full of families that are what we call mixture.Pointing out Yahya's side of the story and comparing his figures to the real situation does not make one a tribalist.Then does that mean talking about corruption makes one a corrupt person? I am not a triblist and do not encourage tribalism in any way. I live in a very diverse country and culture for that matter.People of this civilize world regardless of race, gender, social background, religion, gender are the same and we should all love one another and live peacefully with one another.The Gambia has been destroyed by Yahya's tribal card and that is what I am warning people to be mindful of,if not another Rwanda is in the making.No doubts about that. Why should Baba Jobe,Lang Conteh and others be treated like mice and then Kujabi the one who ordered people to steal Jawara's generators is still working as a commissioner? If that is not tribalism and blatant nepotism then what is it? Yahya according to sources(these days) keeps on beating his chest saying that he will provoke all those Jarankas and see who dares face him?!!! This is true because his own boys say it in the open.Yahya has to be very very careful because the way he is operating is stinking and when the smell becomes uncontrollable he will certainly die before the poor Gambians. No one can see The Gambia today and ignore the fact that Yahya is playing the tribal card.What other means should we use to make him see that without refering to what he is doing? Even the Senegalese media are reporting on Yahya's tribal tendencies.If anyone is to be warned against stopping being a tribalist it is Yahya himself. Infact Yahya does not even represent the decent Jolas,he represents the mad ones.He the very Yahya went to Badibou telling people at Iliasa that he is Jammeh like them. That was before the so-called false elections! After the meeting Yahya went into his open and stinking pajero saying that these badibunkas think(in a very sarcastic way) that the surname Jammeh belongs to them.He laughed and said that he was only using that strategy to fool them.Immediately after the meeting many elders were arrested from that vicinity.Sources have revealed that Yahya has assigned special armouries to areas like Badibu in case of an uprising some day.His orders are clear,that every soul from that end should be crushed when they intend to rise against him.That is why Lalo Jaiteh was dragged to mile two and Alhaji Kanteh disappeared.Kanteh will resurface and join OPTV to get the hell out of this sick regime just wait. This is no exaggeration!! Yahya says these things because we get feed backs from those who are close to him.Yahya is the most vulnerable so-called president when it comes to leakages around his stinking state house.Even if he urinates people know about it within seconds or while he is on the act itself! He Yahya himself is a loose canon so what would the guards do other than help him spread his madness? Yahya's tribal tendencies are based on two things;greed and trying to mystify himself. Look at the way he recites incantations on video cameras and then rubs his dark palm on the heads of those losers who dance for him every day and every night! This man is so sick and he seriously needs help. Well let people revisit Yahya's speeches and see where he was condemning those griots at the McCarthy Square.He was so rude that some elders sneaked and went home.Did Yahya not dissociate himself from anything that had to do with the history of Mama Tamba Jammeh? Ofcourse yes! Yahya thinks that he dropped like a rain droplet when we all know that he is nothing but the son of a wrestler,period. It pains me so much when I see people trying to cover Yahya's behind by attempting to speak decency in the middle of stinking warambas! BABA JOBE'S MOBILE SET SNATCHED AND THOSE WHO CALL HIM THREATENED Why should the NIA tribalise Baba Jobe's case to the extend that they arrest only his mandinka folks and then allow him to talk to other friends.The NIA plainly stands by what mad Yahya says because he is the so- called SOS for defence. Believe me Gambians are the most tolerant people on earth.Anyway if Haiti of all places can catch flames then OPTV knows something and God also knows that thing. Was Haiti's president not brought back by external forces? Well when the people spoke everything turned the other way round.The USA and other democratic countries only listen to the people and not one mad man.Yahya cannot see the light because he only believes in his stupid dreams and witch craft. NIA should allow the courts do their job and return Baba Jobe's mobile set.Why is Yahya so scared of Jobe?
