Njucks, i have no interest in monitoring anything. Neither me nor my kids will ever need Yaya Jammeh for the rest of our lives.
After my college studies in Gambia, I was posted to a village about thirty kilometers from Banjul. This village was inhabited by both Jolas and mandinkas. I was there for three years. If I tell u who disciminates who, u have to believe me, I have it in my luggage of life experiences. People are not honest in forums, I dont know why. Onething am certain about is; there is a lot of falsehood in forums, very sad indeed. |

You have distastifully insinuated, in many of your postings, of the concentration of almost all in the urban area.But who is to blame? Your own rural politicans, or?
these are true. maybe this will convince him. majority of civil servants,politicians, permanent secretaries, police,the army, even doctors are from the provinces. as i mentioned no one understands the problems of rural life than those who come from there.
Well unless you have not traveled the length and breadth of the country. The rural areas have seen very little advancement since independence. Jawara is in fact part of that problem.
I tell you, if you want to go to Barajalli today, be ready for the nightmare of your life. No access what so ever. I don’t want to believe that since Jawara was from the provinces then he should concentrate there. That will be wrong to do so. What should happen is to fairly distribute the wealth since a government represents everyone not a region.
If that is the case why are people blaming Junkng for developing kanilai. It looks like one never escapes blame. Jawara failed and he is blamed. Junkung is developing his hometown and we are complaining. What is the way forward? I think we should have a government that represents all of us and fairly distributes the national cake.
Some of us are complaining about NAWEC. With the exception of about the a few towns mostly the divisional headquarters, not a single electric bulb is lit in the countryside. A lot of the homes are lit with burning logs. Kerosene lamps are a luxury that has eluded many.

Take what you see with a pinch of salt and try to detach your self. It helps. Discrimination is an inherent part of life and is not unique to any tribe or culture. It is a human trait we are born with. THE ONLY PERSON WHO LIKES YOU IS YOURSELF. cantyou see the cross carpeting after the coup. Big time PPP politicians now taking platforms to condemn Jawara. When Junkung leaves, dont be suprised to see strong APRC supporters condemnning him. |

That's only too true, kondorong!
As I just said in the 'Fortress Europe' forum: We should not try to be more Catholic than the Pope, and every ethnic (cultural, language, etc.) group has a certain tendency to prejudice, just as a measures of defining yourself as a group, making it distinguishable, giving it a profile. As long as it is not overdone, leading to real discrimination and conflicts, this is harmless. |

Kondorongwith due respect to your level of potentials and man of your calibre, I don't think you are that type from these words. I thought you are improving yourself through this forum and would have a new outlook to prepare yourself with the future challenges that lie ahead of you. Good luck to you!

Bamba if you type '' FAILURE'' in google the first result will always be the biograpghy of George W. Bush. it not restricted to fora but the whole internet. don't believe everything online.
you are right with what Kondorong implied and now that he seems convinced perhaps its upto rural people to research on this. maybe those of us not from rural areas should complain for not having the chance yet  .
Kondorong regarding energy economics NOBODY will spend/borrow/lend you $400m to take power to a rural village just so they can have a bulb. Dakar, in Senegal gets its power from a Dam in Mali called Mantali. the cables that carry the electricity run for 1800km. between Manatali and Dakar there are probably 1800 rural village that dont have electricity. not because of discrimination but because its not economical, the loan that built the dam has to be repaid with interest. NAWEC doesnt discriminate is a question of money
you cannot have market based solutions for people who are not in the market.rural electrification is the most expensive and requires another solution. |

You are getting me wrong. i am not saying Nawec discriminates. What i am saying is thar the rural areas will be very happy with the amount of generation in the urban areas. Some have never had the luxury of having an electric buld lit in their homes. I know it is capital intensive. You do not need to go too far for an example. Busumbala forexample has no electricity even though high tension wires pass through the town. There is a lot of economics involved and which i have said in another posting under devolution and decentralisation. I raised the issue there as to whether they will be able to pay their bills unless there is a subsidy.
I cannot rememebr the topic. i hope i could.

You see kobo may be i have not been very explicit or may be it is my limitations in expressing myself in English
What i want to say is, as human beings we tend to protect ourselves first. By doing so, we are inadvertently counting others second. I hope you see what i mean.
As to learning i am always learning. i have said here that each one of us either has a dark side or is capable of having one and we should always try to suppress it as early as possible when the signs come up. I am no exception and fallible. i make mistakes all the time and that is human. What is important is to learn from it and move on. If you look at my profile, it says the best can always be bettered. I cannot say more. |

"I have also made this clear to you in a private mail you sent to me a couple of days ago." QUOTE ENDS
Bamba the beast you are trying all sorts of dubious means to undermine not me only also certain Bantaba members. Look at his new topic "Who is kobo" is it relevant or educative, members will assessed that? Without your foolish topic you would not have been exposed from the Admin. with your covert foolish attempts to discredit me as your public enemy number one who just exposed your true colours in this fora. Couple of days he suddenly dissappeared in bizzaire and appear to be taking holidays by not featuring in Bantaba fora for couple of days and having done a futile private investigation to undermine the confidential information of individual(s) most wanted in his blacklists like me.Warning and beware the dare devil. Everybody is warned!
Thanks Admin. for giving us assurances about the integrity and security of the Bantaba and making us felt secure. |

Well it looks like we cannot discuss issues without resorting to personal attacks. Bantaba was doing very well and probably one of the most enlightening Gambian fora i have seen. We discuss latest issue on the ground. I had been visiting for a while but decided to register because i believe that there is a lot be learnt here. Unfortunately, the trends we are seeing from two weeks ago are not helping in getting this family together.
I hope we can see beyond personalities and discuss ideas. I have had heated debates with you Kobo, but i have never suspected nor thought you are Momodou. After all, i am more interested in your postings and eventually we move on.
I take on the debates with an open mind, and if you convince me, i will change my mind. I have done that many times and where i have stepped on the toes of others, i apologize. It is human to make mistakes and this is why i even warned against members trying to mystify Halifa because we seem to raise the bar too high and expectations should be mellowed down to give room for failures.

| Never reveal your identity on a forum subscription form, period. Don't do it voluntarily either unless you are moderator. An e-mail address will do. All other data should be faked. I [Rah} cares less about who is who. After all more than 99% of all usernames are fake. This anonimity is sacred, as long as each username is unique. It's futile trying to decipher who lies behind a username. It could be One, two or many more usernames behind one person. So be it, and protect your identity in cyberspace. That list today on the Freedomnewspaper is a wake up call to all cyber surfers. Everyone should be scrambling and clicking on that PFOFILE button and edit your profile/s to make it hard for intruders to identify you.Be warned,rah |
