You are right. You get 5 by any logic to support it. Thanks for your response. |

| No not by any logic. Some logics are not logical at all. |

Kobo and Kondorong,
You guys are calculating the figures wrong. Lets play with these equations here simultaneously.
10+10= 5....................equation a, K-o-ndorong's assertion
2+2 =5......................equation b, K-o-bo's assertion
Now, it becomes true if a=b=5; where a & b are constants, K.
Imaginarily or by way of magic, 10+10 = 2+2; where 10s' can take turns from 0-2 only; and the 2s' also takes turn from 0-2-but on the condition that the summation must be equal.
OR the 10s' takes turns from 0-10; and the 2s' the same.
Where the magic factor is 'common sense'.
These equations are now right. (laugh !) (jokes !) |

you are right dalton. Kobo is sometimes very complex to understand. He speaks in riddles and one needs a decoder to decipher.
Did i say that. Oops |

Thanks Daton. Just woke up to review this topic to present the mathematical annswers and found that you derived and presented the mathematical for the logical analysis. You need to understand variations,equations, algebraic and statistical formalae to dervived them and inform Kons that its advance maths.
Thanks for finishing the job for us. |

(2)(2)(1)= 5 The 1 denotes a unit, character, signs (e.g +, -,*,/,£, $,@etc) |

Oh God!
Am I learning on the University of Bantaba?We do have individual professors sitting accross the globe that can contribute towards Gambia's development.
Why do you just sit on the internet writting instead of ccomming home to help improve the condition.
I think Africans are the root cause of their own problems.Look here we do have very tallented Gambians out there but instead of comming home,they will sit in Europe and America developing those arrears and leaving their own soil to rot.
Blame your selves and no body.Jammeh You and Me are all responsible.

Dalton1, you just tested my brain, need aspirins, thanks for calculations.
sitasungo, quote "I think Africans are the root cause of their own problems". they know that they can come home and help, but will they do this. I think not, i wonder why that is. If they cannot come back physically could they not support something that is needed in the home country. A hospital, university, school, pay a teachers salary. when I talk to africans about the continent and mention somethings that are happening such as trade sancations they look at you as if you are mad.
in the USA, i mentioned that it would be nice to start a penpal system with a gambian school get it twinned, help the children with the writing i was thinking small acorns, big trees. it was dismissed as not needed. i did not say anything, it was a gambian i was discussing this with, and I asked him why he would not support this project, he said too small. He wanted a bigger project, so I suggested he look at the hiv/aids issue and get involved in that. No he did not like that. I asked outright do you support anything back in Gambia, when did he last visit his family, pay schools fees for his nephews, nieces, sort out the taxes. He has not been back in 20 years. What happens to Africans when they leave the continent, do they loose their roots.

The brain drain is everywhere. I see this happening in the U.S. mainland with indigenous groups trying to survive and get education outside of their area. It seems like a trap this experience. A person may have some ability or talent or desire, they need to support themselvees/family, they advance go to 'bittim reo", go school, work in-country to be able to support them.
Yet they would rather be home, and they also have numerous responsibilities (financial). Many are important figures in their country with so many talents, but are seen by some conservatives and present administration as a burden on the system, which I think is terrible. In U.S., everyone is an immigrant anyway, except for Native peoples...
It can be difficult to have one's feet in two vastly different and complex worlds.
Jambo, The pen pal idea sounds great and fun to do with a school in your community. Hope to hear more about it.

| My first encounter of this slogan "Don't think about what the country can do for you rather think about what you can do for your country" came from an American peace corps helping us a teacher in Gambia. Therefore I do agree that it does not matter how big or small a project is, we need to share the burden at home and challenge ourselves on such activities and never forget them as proposed by Jambo and Newfy. Jambo compliments to you on your initiatives. Keep up the work for others to follow suit (if they are not already involved) in similar activities, where assistance and other viable projects is needed irrespective of the size and/or amount of resources available. |

| Until our leaders start doing the right things and creating opportunities for africans the brain drain will continue. Remember folks response to incentives. |

It isnot only about the right things but doing them right. The difference is competence, knowledge, skills and attitude. There is a big differenc between education, knowledge and skills. Education leads to knowledge which leads to skills but no the reverse. |
