Do you know the biggest tabloid in the UK. They also have them. It appeals to some segment of society. Gambians are only now begining to come in contact with tabloids thanks to the Internet. |

IKO NYI NO KANA NETEH TUWO DOMO. NYI NO KOH, WOTO NETEH TUWO YEH SUNKANG BULA ( The rat was asked not to eat NETE TUWO. However, the rat replied that the NETEH TUWO should stop smelling). NETEH TUWO is a fermented seed of a wild fruit in the Gambia added to a famous Gambian dish called MBAHAL and has a strong smell.
Nyo tuwo serata, foo Nyinoh yeh seroh nomah, saka nyi ahdiyata.
If the locust beans (tuwo in bahal) odours good, them the mouse will have to pursue his share of it.
wotoh, tuwo kana serah.

You are right. For as long as the environment is created for rumours, then expect sensations. Otherwise lets have press conferences to allay doubts.

i see. Well, uncle Dr.Saidou Jallow is also reinstated. He is a nice guy, but my tears for him at a time when the tips of the broom will lash him away.
they don't stop ar firing you, they will embrass and humiliate you nation wide, like they did to former KMC's COnteh. sad! |

NETEH TUWO YEH SUNKANG BULA.
Domor fenyoo buka sunkang, aka serah leh.
Food doesn't smell (bad), it odours (good)
Better choice of mandinka word for me-"serah" |

| KONDO AND DALTON , you guys are making me jealous . i want to quote gambian proverbs but i hardly can recall any. i aggree with kondo ,to stop gossip let there be proper press confrences or news briefings instead of every thing folding in top secrets .gambia is one village ,so when yaya thinks his affairs are secret ,well they are not. mr kolly be careful . the jola fraternity is getting stronger by the day . good luck to them . |
