Turk, don't get over yourself. Wollof is spoken in Banjul and serrekunda just like all other languages. Sarahulehs speak thier languague among themselves, so is fula, mandinka, etc. where wollof is said to spoken more often is in transports and markets. There are people who don't understand wollof in serrekunda and banjul.
people sometimes over blow the extend that wollof is spoken.
This is not becus of political reasons. you have to say where yo get that fact from.
by the way i was in the gambia just less than 13 months ago, so i know my country very well. i ran a business in serrekunda and basse for many years before travelling. i know how language is use.
one can entertain the political question in terms of votes, but why didn't Halifa won his seat in Serrekunda as a wollof if people speak the language becus of politics?
Get real. i am not going waste my time on your uncooked knowledge of the Gambia. just becus you got some half-informations doesn't make you an authourity on the Gambia. many avoid responding to you becus, you are trading on second hand sources.
There are many who can only talk in wollof to buy and sell to people who can't speak other languages, but that doesn't at all make them fluent in wollof. I speak some wollof, but i am not fluent, so are many who reside in serrekunda.
Where did you get the political grounds from? tell us, becus it is a lie.
Serrekunda itself cannot be considered a wollof majority region. Bundunka kunda is not, Talinding is not, Bakoteh is Not, and some other places. the tribes speak their languages among themselves. if you go to sukuta in kombo which is all under the band serrekunda, people speak mandinka, if you go to Bakau likewise.
The early settlers in serrekunda are wollofs so i heard, it is only natural that, the language became the lingo-franca. no one is pressured into speaking it, we appreciate each others language as a people. no one forces the other to speak his/her language. people can even refuse to speak wollof in the markets and some transports yet, get served. stop paranbulating with bogus informations. |

Thanks for the information.

Sorry, could not resist to point. A prominent Jammeh opposition, identity is public. I have seen your picture. I know your name. You were in Gambia, enter the country, leave the country which is governed by a 'so called' bloody dicta regime that oppress the opossition, I am impressed with Jammeh even more than ever now that he did not even stop you leaving the country.
I guess you either have good connection or jammeh is not that bad at all. Correct me if mua is wrong. |

Halifa Salah: PDOIS is however realistic. It is fully aware that the Gambian voters are yet to reach a level of political consciousness that they rely on to vote on the basis of Principles, policies and programmes and practices. |

| stop messing about and answer the question, who told you it is becus of political reason that people speak wollof? I don't fear Jammeh turkman, I fear the lord who created me, if he unleash his scums NIA on me, God will be my judge. He has arrested Fatou Jaw, wasted two years of her time and fined her D250,00. if you are blind enough to see those recent crimes, no wonder you make no sense on Gambian politics. If you talk about Turkey, people will isten and/or may be respond. but on Gambia, our stake is too high to compromise that against your provocative comments. you are only playing around, we know that. this is not a joke for us Turkman, some of our relatives were murdered. what is happening to Pap saine is no joke, what has happen to deyda is no joke, and countless others. your country is over populated, nearly 70 million people, ours is just 1.5million. one life taken by a dictator is one too many. may be oppression is not an issue for you, since the military has been strangling your country's political landscape for decades. for us, it is a recent phinomina. jammeh could have formed his own party and contest election without staging a coup. or reseign from the AFPRC . let an enterim governemnt takes over and then contest as an ordianry Gambian. he refuse to do that, he hijacked the whole system and rule with terror. this is no joke turkman. |

Based on your post, I am even more convince with two things.
1. Jammeh is not that bad at all, as you have no fear from him and can travel to gambia and don't face any government pressure.
2. If you claim yourself as a opposition, Jammeh will stay in power even longer as your opposition has no capacity to offer any alternative.
70 million...turkey...overcrowded....what the hall you are talking about? You are so confused what you saying is not worth even replying. I am used to oppression! You are joking right. OK, santa, stop joking let us talk serious. Or stop talking, you are not making any sense.... i mean now I am thinking jammeh did not even arrested you because he is not taking you serious. perhaps he wants you to stay free, because the way you present your case is good for jammeh because, by showing your lack of capacity, you convince people that jammeh is more capable doing the job....
