Pa Saikou you speak for me. For Gambia and related matters, I have no political saint that's why I don't champion any personality. It is unfortunate that when you defer from folks that is the moment you can sense the limus test of intolerant within the mindset of many in Gambian cyber forum. Within many years as a subcribe both the media have witness lot of tensions- our fellow country men threaten to report others because their decenting views on issues, others labelling decent folks for been gays, insulting, of a dynamic female contributor to issues ,and the list goes on. Sometimes, I wander, and that is true there are lot of dangerous element within our ranks who are more dangerous than Yahya Jammeh. Coward hide behind the computer screen with all types of pseudo name to frame others because of difference in opinion. I will remain critical to utopian ideas as the essence of freedom of speech is to tell people what they don't want to hear. If you want to question my state of mind please contact the following lectures at the faculty of psychology and life sciences at The University of Bolton:-Dr Richard Howell at [log in to unmask] or Dr Ruth Wingfied at [log in to unmask] I know how important life means. Coming from a very poor background my political conscience have empowered me to challenge issues in life with issues with a sense of dynamism and reality.Our country will move no where within intolerant dominate its political landscape threatening critics with 6 feet deep because of difference in opinion. "Pa.Saikou Kujabi" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: Readers, once again my last article received yet another out cry from Muhammed Drammeh and "Koto" Joe Sambou respectively. Muhammed Drammeh, who sounded as a mandinka argued that my surename was not Kujabi and that I was a tribalist who was trying to breed hatred against the Mandinka tribe in The Gambia. He also describe me as "stupid, thick headed with evil wish for The Gambia. Joe Sambou for his part, wondered if people like me were not "bred with wolves, lie maliciously without guilt, and finally that I was a "rodent". Reasonable minded readers, please refer to my last article entitled "Sulaman Mbenga's Reaction to my Article and see for yourselves whether or not Muhammed Drammeh or Joe have addressed the legitimate issues I consciously touched on. First and foremost, I would like to assure all the readers of this forum that I did not have words such as "stupid, nut, rodent" etc in my vocabulary. Not only is it immoral and irresponsible of Muhammed and Joe, it also represent without doubt how BADLY WORD DEFICIENT THEY ARE. Muhammed Drammeh clearly doesn't even know which way the wind blows. In fact his perception and reaction to my article is a clear manifestation of how ignorant and sallow minded he is. Muhammed, You confessed that you don't know me, but you were adamant that my name was "not Pa. Saikou Kujabi, and that I was speaking with a Mandinka voice. Speaking with a Mandinka voice? This is ridiculous and certainly a big insult to the Mankinka tribe. I am a Jola and speak more Mandingo than Jola, and I am married to a young beatiful Mandingo wife. I referred to Halifa Sallah's long history of power ambition citing his hijacking of the majority leadership position from Sedia Jatta who is currently serving his third term in the House of Representative. What has that got to do with ethnicity? idiot" OOPS, excuse me for my language. In this scenario, Sedia Jatta happen to be a Mandinka and Halifa, a Fulla, period. Nevertheless, knowing now your level of understanding, I definitely cannot expect any better from you. Both you and Joe Sambou deliberately brushed my points aside and took a Ninety Degree turn away from the facts I presented in my last article. I would have expected you to give the readers your side of the story, instead you just decided to express your anger against the factsI I will always avail myself to your criticsms and challenges. Muhammed also asked the managers of this forum to block me from subscribing, because he think that it was meant for intellectual debate for the betterment of The Gambia. Muhammed, if people like you and joe Sambou are to be considered as "intellectuals" then am afraid there is a "serious intellectual dishonesty" within The SINK THE GAMBIA DEVELOPMENT PROJECT and the general Gambian literate public. The truth is that no sound minded person listens to your malicious sentiments in this medium. The whole world knows that you are all enemies of The Gambia and the truth, regardless of what you say or portrait yourselves to be. Morro.K. Ceesay, and Abdou Karim. Sanneh both questioned recently how the NAAD flag bearer selection started with Lawyer Darboe/ OJ and ended up with Halifa Sallah. This questions legitimized my analysis about Halifa Sallah and OJ, that they were both groomed for this position by the SINK THE GAMBIA DEVELOPMENT PROJECT and are determined to push strongly for their nomination, regardless of their individual political strengths. NAAD was never meant for Ousainou Darboe and Hamat Bah in the first place. Most members of SINK THE GAMBIA have always had OJ as their only candidate for presidency with Halifa Sallah as an alternative. In anticipation, they organized series of fund raisers for OJ who visited the United States more than any NAAD Executive member in recent years. Halifa Sallah, on the other hand, driven by his greed and insincerity, deliberately dragged the selection process just to frustrate Ousainou and Hamat Bah, so that the road could be wide open for him to lead NAAD. I cannot but concur with SS Daffeh and Lawyer Darboe that the selection process was not fully explored and that it should not be limited to only one method. There are all indications that insisting on one method and one method only was intended to suit SINK THE GAMBIA'S CHOSEN CANDIDATES. Halifa, OJ Waa Juwara and SINK THE GAMBIA all knew well that going through a primary will expose PDOIS and NDAM'S political weaknesses, thereby disqualifying their leaders from leading the coalition. For PPP they never intended to put up a candidate in the first place. Therefore, OJ's hat should not have even been in the ring. Joe desperately attempted to explain that Halifa got selected only when Ousainou Darboe quit. The selection process which was remote controlled by you traitors in SINK THE GAMBIA was designed to leave Ousainou and Hamat with no options but to call it a quit with dignity. PPP also realized in the end that NAAD is not a credible political party that any decent politician should be affiliated with, and they finally waved NAAD a good-bye wave. This PDOISS led coalition representing less than 3% of the voter population cannot win any election in The Gambia, and come January 2007 both Halifa and Sedia will all lose their seats to UDP/NRP coalition candidates, Mark my humble words. Musa jeng in his desperate attempt to restore the lost integrity of SINK THE GAMBIA DEVELOPMENT PROJECT was recently huffing and hoofing as usual trying once again tarnish Ousainou Darboe's character, describing him with all sorts of negativity. Musa alleged that "Ousainou said one thing with his delegation (off camera) and said quite another on camera". Everyone knows that Musa is as good a lier as his cohorts like Fatou Jaw Manneh and others. Your premature character assassination will never earn you any good. If any thing, it sends a clear message to every fair minded Gambian and friends of The Gambia that you are only impediments to freedom. I wonder some times if most of you are actually not on Yaya Jammeh's pay roll while at the same time you side yourselves with the opposition. I know that no matter how much facts one presents in this forum, one can never make you see the light that you chose not to see. Unfortunately, that is how some people are created to be. You are seriously deficient in WORD and POLITICAL ORIENTATION, and I have no doubt that as long as the wish of the opposition majority did not favor you comrades in NAAD, you will continue to display your disgruntled and malicious sentiments in every little space you can find in this forum, regardless of the political realities on the ground in The Gambia. Equally, I know for fact that you will never endorse Ousainou Darboe even he had been selected by NAAD to lead the coalition. He has never been your candidate, and certainly he will never be. So stay in the minority and will see you again in your regretful moments. I hope you can prove me wrong by urging Halifa Sallah, OJ and Waa Juwara to go ahead and join UDP/NRP coalition without any further delay and stop your malicious ill thoughts against Ousainou Darboe. You cannot sway any sane person by your comments and contributions in this forum. Finally, I urge Muhammed Drammeh to do his home work about my identity. I am not a coward. I have never been one. Intellectuals don't cut and run. Blocking me from contributing in this forum will clearly be an act of cowardice. Go figure out. Pa. Saikou Kujabi LONG LIVE UDP/NRP COALITION!! NEVER TOO LATE--THE DOORS ARE STILL OPEN. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
