Thanks for your detail response.
I sincerely certainly note your point about Pa Bojang's Legal Debt. However, I will discuss this matter with you through a private e-mail.

Owens,
Your counsel well taken and your reasons for French leaves appreciated.
Might I urge you to consider that if you don't perceive value-conversation from other, it is incumbent upon you to initiate it. Therefore the profuse peddling of gaucherie is all the more reason we need you. Pintucks and pannafore only thrive in the acute absence of sobriety. The reason why folk dwell on inutile and viral chatter is because they are not capable of coming up with newer ideas for progress. And they have a right to chatter.
Speaking for myself, I only support an alliance of opposition parties led by the party with the largest support among them when it comes to political parties. I will be quick to add that an alloyed opposition (whether we get it or not) will not be enough to rid ourselves of Yahya. It will be a welcome step and perhaps an accelerant but by no means the silver bullet. Therefore, the citizens must not feign themselves captive to opposition loggerheads or structural disunities. The opposition does not have to conclude any such agreement in order for them to engage in common campaigns in matters of illegalities and constitutional breaches. Those affect them all whether as separate entities or alloyed in some manner or fashion.
If they should decide on a party-led alliance, a legal instrument should complete the alliance. Each party must be left to decide for itself. A new regime of bilateral talks between the major party and each of the aspirants to the alliance should ensue in private or in public. Outside of that political campaign, the citizens must organise themselves into unions, either one or several according to uniquenesses. The citizens are best situated to fight corruption, state criminality, constitutional abrogations, etcetera. The opposition can only promise. And if you should believe their promises, you will still have to closely monitor them so they keep their promises. The best way you can do that is if you empower yourself to be able to affect the ware of your life if their promises notwithstanding, you find yourself with a delinquent government.
I am sorry I do not place more emphasis on governments. That is because by their very nature, they tend to be reactionary. I place my bet with groups of individual concerned citizens.
We should leave the parties to figure out their life matters. The good thing about partisans is that they still need to augment their rolls.
We should focus on how we can bring value to our country and our fellow citizen. And when its time to vote, vote your conscience. But before and after elections, we have enormous wrongs of Yahya to right.
There are a few things that will remain the same Yahya or no Yahya. The citizens' fight is therefore more comprehensive and pro-active.
Owens, you avoided the important parts of my notes to you. I ain't mad at you though. Here's a fresh appeal: If possible for you at this time, may I solicit your company in our fundraising to retire Pa Modou Bojang's legal debt? If it is not possible at this time, I pray for your continued health and strength so that you may accompany us in our later funding campaigns.
You're just like Olfactor. You totally lead me astray with promises of gold and honey at the cul-de-sac. Owens you exhibit traits of a PDOISard if ever so demurely. I love you men.
I do not observe Ramadan. Thank you for the courtesy nonetheless.
Easy men.

I am pleased to hear from you as well! I have decided to stay away becuase I don't think we have used valuable time to address the real problems associated with the fortcoming Presidential Elections. Instead of joining an element of objectivity pragmatism, we seemed to engulf on an endless media warfare. To tell you the truth, the more we make the path towards a united opposition impossible, the more we give Jammeh and the APRC the opportunity to win the 2011 Presidential Elections with a large margin.
The opportunity now arise for all stakeholders within the Opposition to sit down and discuss a sensible way out this impasse. The Gambia Electorate are yearning for change but they are yet to see something promising from the Opposition.
Have a blessed ramadan

Owens, why do you stay so quiet for months at a time???? Do I have to place an electronic monitoring bracelet on you like we did Galleh. BTW, speaking of Galleh, did you see his interview at Freedom???? Coach is a great communicator in Wollof. I just wish he can do this Kaddu-gi thing in Fula, Mandingo, Sarahule, and Jola don't you?????? He will have been the single most valuable citizen Gambia needs at this hour. Plus he got rid of the dreads. If he were female, I'd marry him right away. Even if he doesn't want to.
Owens are you taking classes at this time's why you disappear every so often. can I ask for your endorsement of Prof. Alpha Conde for President of La-Guinea? Plus we have an on-going fundraising campaign to retire Pa-Modou Bojang's legal debt. if it is possible now for you, great. If not I'll wait till we get the other funding campaigns going. Start saving your pennies in that case. I'm hoping you wouldn't wanna hear my big mouth then.
I love you Owens. I haven't forgotten you my nephew Dibassey. And that's another thing... How come I'm your nephew when we're not raising funds but your cousin when we raise funds. I don't get it.
Haruna.
