You are right."WHEN BEGGARS DIE, THERE ARE TO COMETS SEEN, THE HEAVENS THEMSELVES BLAZE FORTH THE DEATH OF PRINCES" Sharespeare.
"WHEN TWO ELEPHANTS FIGHT, IT IS THE GRASS THAT SUFFERS" frican Proverb.
The powerful seem to get away with anything these days. Having good experts like forensics, computer geniuses etc can make a big diffrence. In most cases you are tried in the court of public opinion even before the case starts where one is shattered into pieces. May be this is what we are witnessing at this moment before the legal pursuit that Mbai is anticipating. |

Oh gush ! I am very suspicious of Pa Nderry 's motives in this scandal, but Augustus' attcks and accusations are largely meritless and attempt at self vindication.
I reserve further comments on this issue for now . |

| I dont believe Pa Nderry is a journalist, however attacking Nderry personality on the daily observer can only be laughable. The daily observer does not deserver the title news paper, its best suited to be call APRC propagada machine |

Kayjatta, i think i can see where your line of questioning is leading but gentleman may i put it to you that as far as am concern its irrelevant.
Definition as far as i can care is reserved previledge for book writers not to those striking conversation .... base on the principle of conveying message to the other party.
Of course if you want an explanation regarding my comments, be bold enough to ask. I have been critical of Nderry well before freedom newspaper, I sympathesis with him and his online forum but I surely do not believe he is doing the right thing for the Gambia.
In my confined sad world, wrong is wrong, it cannot be right. |

somita; there is no mind reading machine; so i cannot expect you to have one. However, if you call someone who runs and reports on a newspaper " not a journalist" , you will have to explain yourself.
My position is that he is a journalist , maybe a poor and an unethical one. |

So going by your definition you are a journalist .... what a broad definition of journalist .... i think i can jump into this. Anyone with a pen and paper is a journalist. Laughable init?
Ofcourse I'm not taking the title away from Nderry, I'm putting my personal opinion accross. I know my opinion means nothing to Nderry, but surely am entitle to it. |

My friend; without belaboring this point, i am not a journalist because i do not RUN , REPORT , or WRITE A COLUMN for any media.
In short diseemination of information is not my profession. It is probably PaNderry's profession , that is why we are all disappointed that he may not have observed the ethics of journalism as a profession.
I rest my case ! |
